Are you sure they even wanted apples?
You're the one who just said they're ghosts.
Why would dead people want apples? If you're going to give a gift to someone, you should be more thoughtful.
How'm I supposed to know, I just saw lots of fruit for dead people on TV, they put them in these wooden boxes with pictures and everything. Shrines or something.
[There's a grumble.]
Besides, it's not like they let us bring anything useful? And what the hell kinda thoughtful gift do you give an exploding penguin.

An offering is a little different from dropping it into their...
[Their what.]
Their vessels. If you were going to ask them questions anyway, you should have asked what they like.

Psh, vessels makes 'em sound way too fancy, they're just penguin suits.
[So, into their suit insides... costumed innards... things. He's just waving his hand like it's nbd.]
Look, that's not the point!! [how did they get derailed this bad, it's because he has no attention span] The POINT is I was supposed to scare up some info. If you wanna go make friends with exploding ghost penguins then you can do that yourself!

Maybe I will!
[Guess she's going to talk up some ghost penguins... eventually.]

Yeah, well... good!
[He's helping! (no) Now that he's not as distracted by impending disaster and baldness Nora's gone back to sniffing the air and he finally extracts himself fromthe sinking to drip his way over to the stove. There's some dishtowels there that he gives a glance to, contemplatively -- hmm, bacon, dishtowel, bacon...
Yeah he's going to use the dishtowel to dry himself off a bit instead of shaking himself in the kitchen. Future bacon is important.]
What've I been smelling this whole time, it's really distracting!

Oh.
[She looks to the stove again. The bacon in the pan is actually plenty cooked by now, but there's also still a platter of raw meat.]
I was making bacon, actually.

Bacon!
[He's already reaching for it with greedy hands but at least they're clean and dryish hands because he literally just took half a bath in the sink. The dishtowel is now around his neck so it's probably doomed to never be returned to the kitchen again.]
Man, I'm starvin' after all that bullshit.

Just don't eat all of it. Some of this is for me, you know.
[As soon as she seems to acquiesce he's already somehow inhaled half of it. Crunch, crunch.... nom. Ah, he pauses in reaching for the rest.]
... I'll help make more??
[How is he going to help. Considering. His track record with incendiary incidents today.]

No.
[Immediate. But she sets more bacon on the pan and gets the stove going again.]

[The smallest huff.]
I know how to make bacon, I've watched a ton of people do it!
[Though he isn't super insistent because helping in the kitchen is ???? he's barely even been in a kitchen before the Foundation and then he probably got banned from a few almost immediately so there's that. He just wants the food to exist faster at this point so obviously. Obviously that's the way.
Anyway he's just going to crowd at the stove and metaphorically tailwag at bacon smell.]

[She'll continue to refuse to let him cook, but she will share half of it with him in the end.
We can consider this wrapped up so I can continue dying in other parts of my inbox.]

[Well, Saki's... around. She looks pretty tired, her eyes are a little red from crying a bit. But she's here.]
[Let's call this post-afterparty because we need to make sure Nora attends that in his full scribbled-upon splendor, so this ends up being later at night once everyone's settled down and gotten their poison debuffs removed and generally grappled with the events of the day. The week. Their first real death week.
Nora, for his part, is scrubbing some food from his face because he did eventually recover an appetite despite being prodigiously poisoned and also all the other bullshit that happened and that he managed to pull. It's also possible he was avoiding the people who would super yell at him.....
So he blinks and freezes for a moment when he sees Saki. The red eyes super don't help. Uh. Um. He definitely considers just turning around and booking it but.]

[...Oh. Look who it is.
She frowns in a very judgmental fashion because hey, guess what Nora, you are super not her favorite person right now.]
So you finally noticed.

[Nooooo don't give him the judgmental look he's remembering all the bacon threats and everything now and also like, she was also one of the ones who almost fuckin' died so it's unfair?? This whole encounter is unfair and he would like to redo the last five minutes already.
(The last five minutes, but not quite the whole day. The day itself he'll take as is, despite everything.)
No but wait. There's a confused tilt of his head very much like Cerberus did when it was totally surrounded by people trying to contain it and get its attention. Delicious magical people. Anyway--]
Hah...? What was I noticing...

[She just points to her own face, rubbing slightly at the cheek. Mimicking him scrubbing off the marker.]
The drawings everyone did.
