[She can't help a little bit of an indulgent grin at Amane's indignant defense of the pot he'd sold her the rosemary in. But she very much notices the flinch and the wince, and she feels... well, not particularly badly, it's something she did to herself, and he did ask. But perhaps he didn't need the details, for his own safety. Still...]
Not... quite. I have a little bit more baking to do, for a few gifts I want to still be soft when I'm ready to give them. But I've upgraded to oven gloves for the rest of the season - they're like big, heat-resistant mittens that come down to about here or so, [she says with a gesture to a point just past her wrist,] so I can't actually drop one. But most of my remaining work is with frosting and icing and sprinkles, yeah! Don't get me wrong, though, I'll probably be back for an aloe plant. I know myself too well to think I won't need it... sooner rather than later.
[Lisa blinks at his offer, and visibly considers for a moment. She doesn't need a lot of stuff today - not nothing, but not another five kilos of butter like a couple days ago - and while she doesn't strictly need the help, she appreciates what he's trying to do.]
Hmm... I could get by without, but I could certainly use the help. Tell you what - I brought some of the fresh cookies, just in case. If you wouldn't mind keeping me company for a little bit, we can swing back to Camellia after and share a few over tea? I can always use another taste-tester, and I can try and help you with your shopping, too.
