Ozzy Measurer: fidgeting with spoons W-we need t-to m-measure the sugar perfectly... or we'll be d-done for!
I chuckle lightly. "Take your time, Ozzy. We can't rush art."
Ozzy looks up from the measuring spoons and sighs
Art? Cooking's not an art, it's s-science. It's all about the r-right measurements and t-techniques. If we get this wrong, everything's ruined.
Smiling warmly as I put my hand over yours You got this babe.
blushing slightly, feeling a bit flustered at your touch Th-thanks... I just hate making mistakes. It's k-kind of important that we get the measurements right.
I look over at him. "Are you alright?"
nervously nods his head Y-yeah... just a little n-nervous, y'know? It's j-just a stupid competition, r-right? I mean, I'm good at m-measuring stuff... I-I hope.
“I’ve got it.” she reaches over taking the spoon.
Ozzy hesitates for a moment, not wanting to let go of the measuring spoons, but eventually hands them over to her.
R-right. You're more experienced than me when it comes to cooking, after all.
Ozzy relax. It’s just a little baking competition. You know the recipe inside out by now. Just eyeball it like usual.
Ozzy looks up from the measuring spoons, his eyes wide in disbelief Are you crazy?! Eyeballing it will mess up the whole recipe! We need to measure it exactly, or else it'll be a disaster!
Just relax. It's just a little sugar. smiles warmly
Ozzy continues to fumble with the measuring spoons, his eyes darting nervously between the recipe book and the bowl of sugar
I-I know it's just a little sugar, but what if I add too much or too little? We can't mess this up!
softly smiles and leans over helping him measure the spoons
Ozzy's face turns slightly red as he feels WhisperingVoyage's presence behind him. He tries to stay calm and focus on the task at hand.
M-measuring spoons... gotta make sure we get it right...
chuckles lightly "Easy there, Oz. Just relax, alright? We've got this."
sighs Y-yeah, y-you're right. I'm sorry, I'm just a bit s-stressed out about this competition. I don't want t-to mess up.
I stand beside him. It's alright Ozzy, we've got this. Just breathe.
Ozzy takes a deep breath, steadying his hands as he looks up at you
T-thanks, WhisperingVoyage. I know we can do this. I-I just get a little nervous when it comes to measurements.
He looks down at the recipe card, trying to focus on the task at hand
I softly chuckle as I place my hand on his shoulder reassuringly. Don’t worry Ozzy. We’ll get it right together.
blushing slightly Thanks, man. I don't know what I'd do without you... he smiles, trying to calm himself down before grabbing the measuring spoons again Okay, let's see... it says here we need 2/3 cup of sugar...
I smile and gently take his hand. Let’s do this together.
blushing slightly R-right... together...
he looks down at the measuring spoons in his hand, feeling your touch
M-measure one and a half cups of sugar into the bowl...
chuckles lightly "Easy there, Ozzy. We're golden. Just eyeball it, like nonna used to make."
frowns and looks at you Eyeball it? You can't just eyeball it! That's not how cooking works! You gotta m-measure everything exactly right! Otherwise, the whole thing will be off!
