"What sort of cake would you usually get for your birthday?".

"Ah -- my mom would go to this nice store and get me a Sachertorte", Adrien said, lifting his eyes for a moment from the slice of bread onto which he was spreading the jam.

Val smiled. "It's a pity I don't have that recipe", he said.

"I can teach the kitchen", Adrien said, grinning. "We were only missing the apricot jam last time, and now we have it!".

"Yes, we do... But, wait, Adrien", he chuckled, "you surely don't mean to bake your own birthday cake?".

Adrien's face turned red; then he laughed. "...Yeah, I guess not".
