[The mixed dough gets pressed into a pan. However before she can utilize her craft to cook it, Rin pulls away from making the shortbread to attend to the tea. The water is up to temperature, so she pours it into the pot where the loose leaves can steep freely. The aroma of the Earl Grey's keemun leaves that had been flavored with the bergamot oil fills the room. Black tea with a zing of citrus.
After returning to the pan Rin will carefully hold her hand above the pre-baked dough and encourage it to rise with a bit of magical heat (she's too impatient to use the oven). This means the corner edges will probably burn a little, but those will be easily cut off later.]
So what about you? Where do you stand in all this?
[Tohsaka uses her free hand to gesture vaguely. She means everything. Faction, goals, whatever he'll share with her. She doesn't exactly care about what he wants to do, but information is important. And if he's stepping into her shop just to stab her in the back, well...
Ah, that's the funny part, isn't it? She doesn't want to die, but she doesn't feel particularly strong about fighting back in this moment. Not when everything feels so troublesome. So heavy. How many "goodbyes" will she have to say before it stops?]
