"I'd come back to visit whether or not I was taking lessons from Cook," Gen insisted, though she still smiled. "But I'll probably ask her- at least one day a week or something. I'd like to learn how to bake bread properly. And then maybe cake! For birthdays and stuff. I haven't decided, but I want to learn everything I can!"
"You don't have to apologize. And- well, I wasn't entirely sure, either. But it's- having Julius- that makes it all worth it." She smiled happily, then reached over to hug her sister. "I'm glad, too. But I'll be back often enough, love. And where have you been going? You must tell me stories!"
