And now... it wanted to hold her hand.
Jake grabbed Anya's other hand in both of his and gave it a reassuring squeeze. He had no idea why she was so scared of the house elf, but he was pretty sure that it wouldn't hurt her. And it the off chance that it could... he would save her from the big, bad, scary elf. Until then, though...
"What would you like us to do, err... Toddles?" They spoke in third person, so that was its name, right? "Anya and I can make a salad..."
Was that really necessary, though? Since the elf mentioned ice cream... and ice cream was better than spaghetti and salad and bread anyway.

Aww. Amazing boyfriend was amazing.
"Tha--" Anya paused for a quick breath. "That's right. I did Toddles." He knew what happened because of that game of catch, right?
Right. Anya just... needed to focus on dinner. That's what would get her through this. Spaghetti without meatballs. Buttered bread. And a salad. Yeah. It could be worse.
And. ICE CREAM! Why didn't they just eat that? Who cared about dinner?
Minus... parents. And ... teachers. And probably other adults. Meh. She'd just have mostly ice cream when it came time to actually eat.
Oh. And it looked like Jake just volunteered them for salad duty.
Toddles nodded at the girl who she had once played catch with.
Yes, she was a fun studensie. But now there was a boy who was holding her other hand? Toddles took a step over and held his other hand with his baby one and stared at him as he talked.
O__O
Oh they would do the salad? That was good, good, good!
"That is good to be hearing, Toddles will like that. Be sure to wash the leafies and then break them up and put them in the big big bowls over there in the closet. Then you can get the baby tomatoes and put them in there too." Yes, that was the kind of salad they would be having.

Though she did value a good meal, especially since all of this sugar was starting to mess with her sleep schedule... Oh well, just do as he says.
The other two were going to make the salad, and that was fine with her really. She spoke up and said, "I can get the noodles ready." She turned and looked through a few cupboards until she found a box of them and carried them to the stove. Now is this a muggle stove or... She eyed the knobs and burners. Sure she could just conjure a flame under it, if she knew how. She knew incendio, but would that be hot enough? Was this stove made to be lit like the cauldron burners were in Potions? She looked to Toddles to see if he wanted to start her off so she didn't burn the place down on accident.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODLES!
"Toddles would love to have you do the noodles missus!" Toddles watched the girl walk over to the food place and pick out the box. That's how he would have done it.
Now she was just looking at the oven. He would have to show her, Toddles would.
"Here." He scooted in front of her and pressed the button to turn the stove on.
"You need to use a BIG pot and then put water in it first." Yes, that's the way.
Good studensie.

"Toddles is going to be working on the bread!" He jumped up on the counter and began rifling through the cabinets making a ton of noise until he found a huge stack of baking sheets. He then threw those on the floor all spaced out. Next he went to the pantry and began tossing loafs of bread out into a pile by the cookie sheets.
"This is going to be yummy bread, it will."
