[Connie bites back a comment that would no doubt jinx their efforts, instead giving him a thoughtful nod. So the pancakes aren't really a special occasion thing, then? Still, it's a sweet gesture for York.]

We'll start with a small batch, see how you do with a basic pancake and work up from there. I've got no plans for today so I can help you as long as you need.

[And she knows a few people who wouldn't turn down free pancakes. If they're covered with enough syrup or nutella it doesn't really matter if they're a little burnt or underdone.]

Would you rather I instruct you or you follow along with your own batch?
