[ Okay. But consider. As lovely as it is that they're almost holding hands, the smell of food is really getting to Allen, and-

His stomach growls, and he puts his hand over it as he impatiently shifts his weight from foot to foot. ]

You said this wouldn't take... that long, right?

[Link chuckles, shifting the pan with his other hand before giving the toast a flip by flicking the pan with his wrist.]

Few more minutes on the other side, then it will be done. We have a lot of toast to make, but you can go ahead and start eating while I cook the rest.

[In fact, he'll go ahead and grab a plate now, putting some bacon on it before sliding the toast on once it's good and crispy.]

We have honey and syrup.

[ …!!!!!!!!!! Allen looks to Link with practically all the stars in his eyes. ]

How did you do that??? [ Gestures to the pan, before he takes the plate of food. He’s going to get a fork, at least, before he pigs out. ] Without the flipper? [ Spatula. ]

[missinglink]

Mm? Flipping the toast? You catch the weight of the pan with your wrist and just let gravity do the work.

[He flips the toast again. Higher this time. It flips a couple times in midair before it comes back down on the right side. Show off.]

It takes some practice, and you have to be careful if it’s something really hot.

Can you teach me that, too?!

[missinglink]

Sure. Here, why don’t you stand where I am?

[He sidesteps a little so Allen can take the pan.]

You want to tilt the pan and let the bread slide to the edge. Then you just use your wrist to bump the pan and cause the toast to flip. You want to use a rocking motion with the pan, and not too hard or you’ll have toast on the ceiling.

[ Excitedly, Allen grabs the pan. He steadies his hands on the handle and pokes his tongue out in that way that says he’s concentrating real hard. He gently tries to flip the toast with a little flip of his wrist. To his credit, he does not get hot butter everywhere, or on either of them.

He does, however, manage to get French toast stuck on the nearby wall.

…

He silently hands the pan back to Link— ]

…

[…

He reaches over and picks up Tim, placing him down on the counter next to where the toast ended up.]

That’s…alright. We have plenty more to make…

[godsfavourite]

…I’ll do better next time, I promise.

[ Tim makes munching sounds as he eats the toast from the wall. Helping :) keeping house clean! For babies. ]

[missinglink]

[Thank you Tim. Tim gets a pat pat on the head for his efforts before Link puts the pan down, then takes a slight step to the side.]

I want you to dip the next piece and start cooking it by yourself. I'll watch, but you'll only improve if you practice.
