It was hard to tell what the expression Xiu was wearing was. Interest? Horror? Fear? She had never heard of these ninja pumpkins before, and the idea of them dropping in unannounced on couples was a rather unusual thought. "But...but I mean, where do they come from?" Were they just random pumpkins that had no relation to the couples that they appeared to?
"Oh, yes! I..." She trailed off, her cheeks suddenly turning pink and her expression turning sheepish, "I...don't know too much about clothing to be honest, but I do like uniforms! They aren't very practical to wear everywhere and all the time, but they are quite nice to look like."
At the mention of making spookies, Xiu immediately perked up, hastily moving around her kitchen so that she could gather all the necessary ingredients and utensils. Setting out a recipe book, she flipped to the spookie section. "Since you're my guest, what kinds of spookies would you like. Chocolate? Cinnamon?"

"I-" He pulled out his phone to look at the time, "-have no idea. I assume pumpkin patches but it is a mystery. But charms are good to ward them off. I carry extra with me, just in case." Half a box full really. "Cinnamon sounds nice! And Hrm, I will have to make you something then alright? Maybe a cute Amity style school ghoul's uniform, or would you like something more militaryesque?"

"You....you carry extra protection charms around with you? At all times?"
Either Xiu was particularly easy to shock today, or Isra spoke of a lot of things that the baku had never heard of before. Ships, ninja pumpkins, someone always carrying around extra charms...this was the first--but probably now not the last--time that she had heard of any of these.
"Wha--oh! N-no, you don't...have to!" She looked up from the recipe book to stare at the Siren, her mouth opened in an "o". "I mean, spookies are really quite easy to make. Compared to clothing, well..." As someone who could only do very minimal sewing, Xiu could not begin to imagine how long it may take something to do even the simplest of outfits. At the very least, it would not take as short of a time as it took spookies to bake.
She flipped to the recipe for cinnamon spookies, and then gestured towards the ingredients. "Do you want to mix the dry ingredients while I mix the wet ones? Then we'll combine them."

Nodding his earwings gave a small flap. "Of course. One can never be too protected. After all, ninja pumpkins. Just good to have one on me just in case." Never mind that him and Lucien had yet to get past holding hands and lightly kissing. At the offer to mix ingredients the siren jumped at the chance. Baking was what sewing was to Xiu. Sort of. He hadn't burned anything down just yet. "Sewing is easy once you know the basics. I can teach you if you like. In exchange, you can teach me how to bake spookies." He just looked at the ingredients. "Um, whats a tsp?"

"It's always better to be safe than sorry!" Xiu agreed, nodding sagely. Now that she thought about it, it did make sense to bring around extra protection charms. Nothing bad would come from having them just in case, whereas...plenty of bad things could happen if one didn't have any on hand when they were needed.
She applauded you for your foresight, Israfel!
Xiu brightened up at his offer, her tail wagging slightly as she nodded enthusiastically. "Oh, yes please! And I'd be more than happy to teach you how to make spookies!" At the question, she picked up the measuring spoons and leaned forward to show the siren the spoon that was labeled with "1 tsp". "Tsp means 'teaspoon'!"

Kaiyumi want to wrap up for stranger month soon? The siren perked up at the mention to start at the spookies, nodding as she explained what tsp was. The other measurements he understood, taking the flour, sugar, and other dry ingredients and mixing them in the large bowl. If he learned how to make them he could make them for Lucien maybe. The though had him smiling. "Okay so we mix the wet things and then they get set out to dry? Or is that what the oven is for?" He may be cognitive but he was still dim on some things.

iStoleYurVamps C: Sure! UHHH TIMESKIP AHEAD~~
Xiu leaned forward to take his bowl of dry ingredients, slowly pouring some into her own mixture--the butter, sugar, eggs, and other such things--before handing him the spoon so that he could mix it all up. Once everything was combine, she reached out to take a little bit of dough.
"So now all we do is roll them into little balls like this, and then press them down juuust a little bit, until they're cookie shaped!" She demonstrated with the piece of dough in her hands, and then set it down on a baking tray covered with wax paper. Rinse and repeat until all the dough was set out in little disks on the trays and then set into the oven.
As they were baking, Xiu shuffled around her kitchen busily, pulling out pieces of cellophane and rolls of ribbons so that she could wrap up the spookies for Israfel once they were done. When the timer went off to indicate that they were done baking, she gestured towards the oven mitts sitting on the counter. "Did you want to go pull them out? Just set the tray down on this part of the counter."

Kaiyumi Can skip again and wrap as needed~ The spookies smelled delicious and he'd munched on a bit of the cookies dough. As Xiu got things ready he smiled watched her, trying to learn by sight. It was not the best way to learn but it was helpful for him. Prompted to pull them out, he put the mits on and tenatively, opened the over, hair blowing back from the hot air. Slowly pulling the tray out to let it cool, he beat his wings, trying to vool them only to stop as he blew other things around. "Um, so we let them cool and then they will be ready then?" It was time to wait and wait her would.

"Yup! A few minutes should do it, and then you can try one while I wrap some up for you to take home."
"Some", as it turned out, happened to be most of the batch. The baku saw nothing wrong with being generous to her guest, so the siren would find himself with a batch of cookies wrapped up in colored cellophane. It was clear from Xiu's brisk movements that she had done this a hundred times before, from pulling the corners of the cellphane together to make a makeshift bag, to tying a few ribbons at the end to secure it.
Once that was done, she held it out for him to take, her tail waving happily behind her. "Thank you for keeping me company and helping me bake, Israfel! Let's do it again sometime!" And there was also that offer of being taught how to sew that Xiu wanted to take up sometime.
...Most of all, though, Xiu was glad to have finally had a chance to speak to Israfel after all this time.

The was an expression of wonderment and awe as she warped up the majority of the confections. Eyes while open as she handed him the ribbon adorned bag he began to slightly vibrate with happiness. Looking her, he shifted the bag and gave her a one armed hug. "Thank you Xiu. And yes!" Grinning he bounced his way to the door. "We will. I will also make you something okay? Okay." He'd take nothing but a yes for an answer. Not that Xiu had time for that, and the siren was skipping his way out.
