Cookie batter

Caster Falls is an isolated little village in the middle of nowhere, to put it simply.

We won't be able to stop anywhere nearby it on the way except in the wilderness.

On the road from Carleon there are some places set up, essentially just people who've settled in houses and turned them into inns and taverns.

But from where we're at that's just not a thing. It's yet another reason we can't go until the rain stops and the ground dries.

But as far as I know there's no pressing time constraint anyway.

May bounces on her heels. "Auntie, can I help make cookies?"

She clasps her hands and smiles hopefully as she pleads with her large, beautiful blue eyes, hoping to appeal to my soft heart.

I know that tactic, little girl.

I scoop her up, and she gasps.

Lucky her, I don't have any objections to her helping.
