[The grin she's giving him seems to suggest she's not going to confirm or deny her age.] We've seen a lot over the years, Mr. Wright. Sometimes it's hard to tell the days apart.
[But with the dough rolled, she's going to start feeding it through the pasta cutter just to show him what she's doing.] Spaghetti first, and then we can work on a pie. Can I trust you with the noodle-cutting?
[Phoenix...Nick....okay, she guesses. She should be a little more stringent on addressing guests politely but she's not about to go against him if he's asking.]
Okay, Nick. [She looks pleased at least. Phoenix is possibly doing his best, noodles and all...] As long as they're thick enough to cook the shape isn't that important. It's the sauce that pulls it all together anyway. Just like a pie filling.
Well I'm sure you're good at your job, too...even if I've never played poker before. [Phoenix noodles can happen. It's law now.] It's easy when you've been doing it for a while.
Even if you really don't have to thank me? [But the idea of a trade is pretty nice, admittedly.] I think I can teach you a lot. I'm still learning anyway and poker has a lot of sleight of hand and stuff to it, doesn't it?
Aren't you the one who said you have a magician in your family? [She's interested in that, too, even while she's busy opening the cans of tomatoes to begin the sauce.]
