Rikke gave the young one a squeeze back,
"I think you had a little crud in your ears kiddo."
The ex-military woman smirked back a bit wider,
"The terms were, you get an extra cookie not money, ya con' artist."
Rikke let the joke drop but did lead the girl to have her afternoon snack, which indeed had an extra cookie.
"Ah, do you finally see now without fussing and grumbling why I make you go to school?"
A raise eyebrow,
Rikke doubted it but it was always a hopeful whim,
"Yeah for one ya little rascal, I ain't no novice, I've seen that trick a million times and fail just as many."
She narrowed her eyes lightly with a knowledge,
"Also, looks can be deceiving never just trust those senses."
She crossed her arms with that small lecture, before sitting down with her own snack.
"Now real talk, Eir, did you get back that test grade yet?"
