fandomhighdorms | 4th floor common room: saturday morning

The last time Nathan had cooked in the common room, he'd gone for a fairly basic recipe because he hadn't purchased ingredients beforehand. Today was a little different. Having time to actually cook and relax on weekends was still somewhat of a foreign concept and Nathan couldn't help but take advantage even if a part of him hated himself for acting like nothing was wrong while Gabriel and Annalise remained in danger.

Nathan was trying not to think about that. Yesterday, he'd gone out to a store (using money that he'd gotten by stealing stolen goods because a job was not yet in the cards) and picked up a few things that he remembered making in Gabriel's small apartment. Gabriel had told him that you could make waffles in a variety of different ways but the pre-made waffles just looked wrong. So, waffles from scratch it was. There was no recipe nearby, just the remembered instructions from a time that seemed so long ago.

The television, like always, wasn't on when Nathan was around so he didn't get distracted by any buzzing. He worked quietly, opening and shutting the waffle iron (such a great invention) and moving ingredients around to make room. There was some flour on his chin and shirt but he otherwise kept it clean.

Off to the side, he set up the various toppings that tended to go on waffles. Fruits, honey, syrups, sweets, just about anything. It was a bit of a splurge but he'd allowed himself this one thing. Tomorrow, he'd go back to brooding.

[Open place, open post, enjoy the waffles, if you'd like]
