Favourite Things

[melove_cookies]

The Plaza is a nice place to meet new people and to sit down with a huge plate of cookies. This is what Cookie is deciding to do as most walking past will now spot a blue furry monster devouring a plate load of chocolate chip cookies. His large fluffy hands picking up the cookies and shoving them into his large black gaping maw of a mouth. No teeth just a large hole.

"OMNOM OMMMMNOM OMONOMONOMOM!

Bits of cookie flying everywhere as the monster's large googly eyes focus on the plate of cookies. Almost as in a state of frenzy Cookie finishes the whole plate which now stands empty. All gone. He had to get more! But from where? These ones had been given to him by a nice person. Maybe Oscar the grouch knew where to get more cookies unless---Cookie baked his own. That was an idea too.

"What favourite thing for you? Mine cookies. What yours?"

The blue monster now sitting with an empty plate of crumbs asking passers by because he was a curious creature. Asking questions was good and helpful since it helped Cookie learn and learning was good.

"It's very sweet," Sigrid says helpfully. "And kind of cool and creamy." And then she looks up at Loki very pointedly. Clearly they need to help out their new monster friend by introducing him to this treat!

As a consequence, when Cookie does look up at Loki, he's fighting laughter. Four precocious children and a monster! He deserves this sort of chaos. He leans down and gives Cookie a gentle hug, as well. "I'm Loki."

Pointing to each of his children in turn, he introduces them. "Agnarr, my oldest. He speaks in sign language." Sesame Street monsters might know sign language? That would be interesting.

"Sigrid, my little banana pudding fiend. Una, a warrior princess. And Eindrid, my youngest and your biggest fan."

"And yes, I happen to know we have some bananas at home, so we can make pudding if you insist, Sigrid."

"Maybe Cookie and new friends here cook together! We make cookies or bake stuff! Does the tall man say yes to dis? Cookie good chef."

Cookie as a "good chef" was somewhat debatable but he was a child monster so this could be excused. The mess in the kitchen? Well, that was usually involving a big clean up but that was for adults wasn't it?

"Sign language? Cookie know some maybe."

The monster proceeding to sign the word cookie out to Agnarr. It might be harder since the monster's hands were furry and his fingers were stunted but he was trying! Children at Sesame Street signed when they couldn't hear. Cookie knew this.

Can a child monster safely use an oven? Loki isn't certain enough to let them run about unsupervised, but after a thoughtful glance at his two older children, he smiles and gives a helpless shrug. "All right, but you let me put things in the oven and take them back out. You may be a good chef, but your fur looks flammable."

Agnarr blinks and watches cookie sign, then grins. His laugh is quiet, almost a whisper, but he signs back cookie, and then hello, cookie monster.

Who knows if Cookie can safely use an oven? Cookie certainly wanted to bake with his new friends though! Chef Cookie had happened before when he'd cooked with Grover and Big Bird. They all made cookies!

"Fur is flam----what word? Not know. Tall man speak words Cookie not know."

The blue furry monster then looked to Agnarr when he saw the signing. Cookie doing his best to sign back with his thick furry fingers. Hello, new friend! Me Cookie. Do you like cookies? What best flavour for you?
