There's an odd request. Willard frowns, the scar on his nose wrinkling, but he shrugs.
"Sure, whatever." He takes a bottle of beer from the fridge, fills a glass from the tap, and sets both down in front of Nimbus, leaving it up to him to decide what constitutes a splash of beer. He grabs a beer for himself as well and takes the other chair, turning it away from the table and sitting with his arms resting across the back of it.

Nimbus applies a splash of beer to the water. Now he has beery water. This was a terrible idea, but he's going to drink it anyway because to do otherwise would be to admit failure, and he's not going to do that. Nimbus proffers forward the various bags of cookies and suggests, "Cookies?"

"They're not gonna make me sick, are they?" Willard wonders, looking at the selection and realising he has no idea which is what or what would taste better. He eventually just grabs one whether or not Nimbus has answered him because he decides the orange-red-brown colour looks appealing enough. It has an oddly spicy-sweet flavour.
He could just ask what he's eating, but he studiously chews instead, watching Nimbus to see how this beer-water experiment goes.

"Probably not!" Nimbus says, not entirely reassuringly. He eats one of the most burnt cookies.
The beer water was a bad idea, but he drinks it anyway, because he cannot admit failure.

That answer gets a sceptical eye from Willard as he keeps chewing his somewhat doughy mouthful. He wants to ask just how bad that concoction tastes, but an entirely different question comes out instead.
"So why'd you come all the way out here with cookies?"

"Because I wanted to feed you inept attempts at pastries," Nimbus replies, echoing what he said before.
They're not bad. Some of them are even relatively good. But they're inspired or anything. They're not food as art.

Food as art would be wasted on Willard anyway. He has simple criteria for food and looking nice isn't one of them. He chews, still staring at Nimbus, still sceptical. He doesn't get many social calls and he remains convinced that someone like Skyblast would have better places to be and people to see.
"…Uh-huh," is all he says.

Skyblast would have better places to be.
Nimbus doesn't.
Therein lies his frustration.
"Yeah. So. Which kind do you like best?"
OOC: Work towards a fade?
