Sugar cookies. Sweet. That'd be fun to make. Gingerbread cookies are edible, so where the ones they'd been decorating but Grell was right, sugar cookies were easier to eat and it was better they switched up anyways. He popped another piece of candy into his mouth, just to have something to chew on. He hasn't had much to run with since, hell he couldn't remember when was the last he'd fed but he wasn't going to interrupt this with a request for the red stuff. Not in front of Loretta.
When she divided her gaze from Grell to him, Zero wondered what she'd been thinking about. He returned with a little smile, and turned to what Grell was demonstrating.
Loretta then asked for assistance to which he gladly obliged, fetched up the measuring cup and handed it to her. Just watching her alone was a joy. Soon enough it was his go to measure a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Ok, he could do this.
He nodded and did his best to get the right amount into the hollow and incredibly small teaspoon—wait, did Grell say half a teaspoon? Well then, he added less, eyeballing half without it spilling over despite his shaky hand. He'd rather do something else that didn't require too much precision. Zero managed to get it done efficiently enough and hoped they mistook his unsteadiness for excitement. Added the vanilla into the bowl.
"Let it rip." He said, and smiled a little more. She wouldn't worry so much if he didn't give any reason to. He wanted to have fun and this was something she liked. So he would stay up a bit longer, not like he could sleep now anyways.
"Don't we need eggs? How much cookies are we making?" He reached for the carton of eggs. "When does that go in?" Was their a precise step by step they had to follow of could they just add stuff?
