Smokey tilted itself up slightly on its short legs to regard Sol. It was difficult to tell how something without eyes could look at anything, but Sol might have had this odd feeling that the oven was indeed watching him. Its front grate even unlatched and yawned open for a few moments before shutting again. It seemed - as far as a stove could be - quite content to sit at his feet until Pim called it into the kitchen.
Pim was agreeable to leaving her bag there in the small kitchen. She wasn't worried about anyone getting into her things, as Smokey's presence usually deterred folk from wayward curiosity.
"Stay! There's a good boy!" she chirped as Smokey took up a position near her bag. She patted it again on its top before heading off. Standing absolutely still, it was as if the stove was no more mobile or possessing of thought than any normal appliance.
"All right, I am ready to go!" she called to Luna while she was handing some supplies to her brother. "So, there is the question of savory ingredients versus sweet ingredients. What are your preferences?" Pim asked her as they walked, getting into dizzying details about the types of meats, vegetables or fruits that might be appropriate for the pies she was to bake for them.
She nearly bumped into someone who had entered the door. Caught in the whirlwind of her conversation with Luna, she mumbled an apology that probably made no sense at all:
"Strawberries are pretty good right now - sorry! - blueberries are probably not in season..."
