Gavin extended his little hand out to meet Roy's. "Pleasure to meet you good sir. I look forward to an evening of delightful entertainment, auspicious endeavors, and merry mirl, mirth, erm, darn it."
No, he did not normally talk this way. He had been rehearsing this for at least an hour. Oddly the word auspicious gave him no trouble.
As Echoes continued to discussing details with Roy, he kept practicing the word. "Mirth, mirth... mmmmmirth."

Roy blinks, rather taken aback by the kid's formality.
"Er...yes. We'll have lots of...mirth!"
He turns to Echoes, smiling encouragingly.
"Don't worry, Professor. Gavin's here to keep me out of trouble, hehehe."
Once the two leave, Roy turns to Gavin.
"So, Gavin. What do you like to do? Do you have games you like to play? I've got some board games in my bag, or we could bake cookies or do something else."

Gavin puts on his thinking face, poking his chin with his finger and staring off at nothing in particular.
"We shall bake cookies, and play your board games while they are baking. Yes, that is what we shall do."
The reason why Gavin was speaking this way was because he had just started reading again. Surprisingly his reading skills were unaffected by the unusual circumstances of his birth. It also helped that the common language had apparently not changed in ten thousand years.
He was also sneaking peeks at some of Reuna's spell books, though he didn't understand them very well... yet.

Roy nods happily. He likes baking.
"Alright, we'll do that! I'm not sure if Miss Midai would like us to use her groceries, so I brought my own."
Reaching into his bag, Roy starts pulling out cookie ingredients.
"Eggs, flour, milk, sugar, butter, vanilla extract, chocolate...lots of chocolate..."
The "lots of chocolate" consists of over a pound of dark chocolate chunks. They're almost twice the size of chocolate chips, broken from a large bar of Uncle Renalt's finest.
"Alright, Gavin! Let's get baking. First, we'll mix the dry ingredients..."
He finds a mixing bowl and gives Gavin an apron and a wooden spoon.
"Gotta mix it all, to make sure the cookies are evenly sweet."

Gavin dutifully obeys Roy's instructions and carefully pours his share of flour and sugar.
He kinda glared at the eggs. Although he knew what they were, he still had trouble reconciling their existence as a food product. "Eggs are weird. They come out of bird butts and then we eat them, and sometimes they have baby birds and sometimes they don't."
He had this conversation with Reuna before, but she declined to give a satisfactory response.

Roy looks over at Gavin in surprise, then at the eggs. He'd never thought about eggs before.
"Well...the ones we eat don't have baby birds in them. They're just...eggs. And they taste good, so does it really matter where they come from?"
Deciding that Gavin's bowl is sufficiently mixed, he brings another bowl down and fills it with the wet ingredients.
"Here you go, Gavin. Whisk this until the egg yolks are broken apart and the whole thing is mixed together, then pour it into the other bowl."
He takes a piece of chocolate from the pile. Chocolate, after all, is added last.
"Want a piece of chocolate? My uncle makes it."

Gavin grinned. "Yah, I want, erm, I mean, umm... I most graciously acquiesce to your um, audacious endowment."
He blinked. "Big words are hard. Why do grown-ups use them?" He asked as he begins to mix in the wet ingredients.

Roy shrugs, crunching on his chocolate.
"I dunno, Gavin. Grown-ups are weird. Good thing I'm not a grown-up, huh?"
He chuckles, then realizes that he will never be a grown-up. The thought makes him sad, and he eats another piece of chocolate to distract himself.
"So, Gavin. What sort of hobbies do you have? Do you like to read books? Play ball? Climb trees?"

Gavin takes a piece of chocolate and gestures towards Karrik. The raven flutters down near their things, sniffs the chocolate, and balks. (Chocolate makes ravens sick). He flutters away to a nearby ledge in the kitchen and stares curiously at them, particularly Roy. Gavin shrugs.
"He doesn't like chocolate. Also he thinks you're weird." He said matter-of-factly. "I like to read books, and I like to play ball. My daddy likes to play games with me. He's got this magic game where he pretends to be a dragon and I get to be a knight. I like it." Sensing perhaps a touch of insecurity from Roy, he quickly adds "But I like board games too. There are also lots of things I wanna learn, like magic, and archery, and making friends with lots of animals!" He starts to get excited.

Roy moves to stop Gavin, but relaxes when he sees the Raven decline the chocolate.
"You shouldn't feed chocolate to birds, Gavin. It's poisonous to them."
He listens as Gavin details his hobbies, nodding in vague agreement.
"Archery and magic, huh? That's fun. Board games are fun too. And everyone likes animals! My cousin Ruby has a cat."
Checking the dough, he nods in approval.
"Looks good! Alright, let's get them ready to bake."
He carefully picks up a piece of dough, and shows Gavin how to roll it into a ball and put it on a baking sheet.
"Once we're done with this, we can clean up and play games until the cookies are done. How's that sound?"

Roy watches carefully as the dough is rolled.
"All sorts of things. I've got Toadstools, Snakes and Sewers, Medanese Shuffle, and Nikk. They're all pretty fun, although Medanese shuffle is my favorite."
He lights the magic oven, heating it up.
"The cookies will take about ten or fifteen minutes."
As he places the cookie pan in the oven, Roy suddenly has a thought.
"Have you eaten dinner yet?"

"Snakes and Sewers? I wanna play that. Can you teach me how to play?!"
Gavin was so excited over the cookies he had forgotten about dinner. "No, I haven't! Umm, I think Reuna left some food in the cold box though."

"Oh!"
Roy looks over at the cold box, the walks over and opens it up. After a moment, he pulls out two chicken sandwiches.
"Hmm...I'll toast these up, and we'll have these."
He finds a pan on the stove and starts to grill the sandwiches on the stove.
"Snakes and sewers is great. You move around a "snake" around the board and try to make the other guy run into you. It's pretty fun."

Gavin waited patiently for the chicken sandwiches. After a while he starts to get bored and paces around. Then he starts to poke and prod at Roy's things.
Then he starts to poke and prod at Roy.
"Tell the sandwiches to hurry so we can play!"

"Hey!"
Roy shuffles away from Gavin's prodding.
"It takes this long to grill sandwiches, Gavin. If I turn the heat too high, they'll burn!"
A few moments later, he finishes up and puts the sandwiches on two plates.
"Alright, then. We can eat and play, I don't mind."
Removing the box from his bag, he shows Gavin the "snakes" and the board, and how to use the dice to move the snakes around.
"The trick is to get the other guy to run into you, ok? Ready to try?"
He chews on his sandwich. It really is quite good.

Gavin nodded. He eagerly picks a snake, and then picks up some dice. He rolled a 4. "What does that mean?"

"That means you can move four spaces."
Roy shows him how to move the snake across the board, each piece following in the exact path of the head.
"Now it's my turn. Remember, if you get the berries, your snake gets longer and it's easier to win."
They play for a while and eat until the cookies are done. Roy puts on some oven mitts and pulls the pan of sweet, soft cookies from the oven. The chocolate chunks are still melted, and sit like brown puddles on the delicious cookies.
"We'll let them cool off. Don't wanna burn ourselves."

Gavin cries out "Hurry up and cool, cookies!" and returns to the game. He rolls the dice.
He rolls a 12. He glances at all aspects of the game, double and triple checking.
"Wait, does that mean I win?!"

Roy looks over the game carefully.
"Y'know...you've got me boxed in here. I can't possibly go anywhere without running into you. So yes! You win, Gavin! Congratulations!"
He pats Gavin on the head then checks on the cookies. A moment later, he returns carrying the pan of cookies, now cooled enough to eat but still warm and melted.
"Look at this, Gavin! The cookies are ready!"
Taking a spatula, Roy pops one off the pan and offers it to Gavin.
"Enjoy!"
