Lily caught Moe before he could escape, putting her Linker on the bench, she glanced about the place. Maybe she could make cookies. Make the place feel warm, and delicious with the scent of cookies. She smiled to herself, but was a bit uneasy. She had relished her independence when she had got the place, but now she felt alone. Moe hung around her legs as she gathered the stuff for cookies, and began to make them. Her Aunt had curious notions about how a young lady should be. 

She had to know how to cook. She had to know how to clean. She also had to know how to be handy-know how to fix things, and know how to defend herself. As such, Lily was a curious mix of all of that. She could easily patch a hole in a shirt, as she could build a table. and was comfortable with that. 

She went through the motions of cooking, letting the day wash over her, pondering it all. Why was Kristopher so annoyed, so angry at the truth. [i]he had tried to drag her about[/i] earlier in the cafeteria, and Lily just couldn't understand it. Nor could she understand te rest of it. They had a right to make sure they were protected, right? She sighed, putting dough on a tray in little balls, and putting the cookies in the oven, before curling on the couch with Moe. 

[i]maybe I should have asked if I could have hung with Angelo[/i] she thought, but Angelo was already doing so much for her. She didn't want to be a burden.
