[Now that the ingredients are mixed, Keisuke starts to inspect the two, seeing if there were any differences in consistency. He... doesn't think so. Anyway, they're going to have to put them out on the trays soon, so he walks over to the sink to wash his hands before returning to the counter.

He's pulling over a tray and beginning to section out pieces that he thinks are big enough to eventually become cookies when Slaine continues.]
