[ Ruby might intend to share them with her friends, but whether or not that actually happens will remain to be seen. It will depend on how generous she's feeling...and how hungry.
However, as she crams another cookie into her mouth: ]
You should have a couple, too! Enjoy the fruits of your labor!
[ Ruby wouldn't want to deprive Sonia of her own amazing baking! ]
[Sonia's just fine standing here and... just keep holding the tray while Ruby enjoys the cookies herself in front of her. She really doesn't mind! She's passive that way. So she's visibly surprised at the offer, her brows lifting in an arc.]
Well, these are all for you, Ruby, but hrm. ... Sure. Perhaps... having one or two for myself wouldn't hurt.
[And so she reaches for one and takes a small bite. Little by little, spots of blue light sparkle around her as she chews the cookies inside, savoring the flavour.]
These are good... [She's taken aback somewhat by her own cookies.]
[ It certainly wouldn't hurt, and Ruby somehow finds away to smile even brighter when Sonia tries her own cookies. Even if she made them for Ruby, she can't deprive Sonia of her own delicious creation entirely!
...Though she may not end up sharing many with her housemates after all, whoops. ]
They really are! You have a gift. Do you bake a lot?
[ She says, scooping yet another cookie into her mouth. ]
Sonia is still munching on the same cookie, chewing it at her own leisure pace-- she's not quite like Ruby. She won't take forever, though, and will take a second one later and call it there.]
A gift...? [That praise feels strong considering her current baking skill level, but it's sincere... Which has her feeling a little meek and happy about it.] Ah, no... I started baking a few months ago. I'm still new to it.
[ As she continues to munch on cookies, speaking through a mouthful: ]
Wow, really?! That's amazing! I started to learn how to cook over a year ago, and I still can't do much better than grilled cheese sandwiches! You must be a natural.
[ And she's not just saying that so Sonia will bring her more cookies, honest! Though it wouldn't be such a bad thing if she did... ]
[Well she might actually send more in the future-- there's no one else she knows who loves cookies more than Ruby. And if there's ever a need for a cookie tester, Ruby's certainly on top of her list. But gosh... more praises. Very quietly, she says:]
Thanks...

Grilled cheese sandwiches...? [Hmm, nope. No idea what those are.] I never had them before. Perhaps... I could try yours as a first next time. And... with enough time and practice, you could perhaps make something more than that?
[ They're both great ideas, especially since Ruby has considered taking up employment at the Hearth sometime soon. Just as a server, but still, being an environment like that, of course she should learn to cook more! Maybe someday, she'll be able to make paella for her whole team without any supervision at all!
...She has weird goals. ]
You've got yourself a deal! Come over for lunch sometime, and I'll give you the best grilled cheese you've ever had! ...Which I guess won't be all that hard, if you've never had one before.
