"Anyway", Val continued, "now that the recipe has been tested successfully, we can request this cake whenever we please, with no notice, as long as the ingredients are in the pantry".

Adrien ate his last forkful of cake. "That's good," he said, "because I already want more!".

Val giggled. "Me too", he said. "Let's have seconds upstairs at the table". Val magicked the cake away and turned to address all the pots and pans: "Thank you all again for the delicious cake. Goodnight!".

There was a chorus of "Goodnight!", "Goodnight Val!", and "Goodnight Adrien, Val's apprentice!" as they all clattered back into place. When Val and Adrien left the kitchen, it was once again all still and quiet - but much cleaner than it had been before.
