[Besides the absolute bafflement of what sounds like a very young little girl contacting him for food preparation tips, there's only a handful of people who would know Nanu's from the region where malasadas are a staple.]

...Why?

[woo_oo]

Guzma said he'd let me touch his hair if I made him one!

[Aaaand weirder still, somehow.]

[ulaulakahuna]

He--

[There is an actual mental sigh, combined with a grumble, giving a perfect and audible demonstration of confusion melting into frustration. Of course he did.]

Of course he did.

Kid, I'm sorry I have to tell you this, but Guzma has no intention of that ever happening.

[woo_oo]

Sure he does! He even came to see my progress, and he told me you're his mentor.

[Why else would he tell her if he wouldn't fulfill his end of the bargain?]

[ulaulakahuna]

He also enjoys playing mean pranks for laughs, and isn't good with keeping his word.

[wait]

Why the heck do you want to touch his hair?

[woo_oo]

Because it's fluffy like a sheep!

[It's all the reason she needs.]

[ulaulakahuna]

[So this kid's, like...five, right.]

...Okay. For one thing, he knows that I don't know how to make malasadas.

[woo_oo]

[More like extremely sheltered and perhaps a bit nutty.]

... You don't? Really? Not even a little bit?

[ulaulakahuna]

I'm sure you can get a bakery around here to try and make one. They're similar to unfilled doughnuts.

[woo_oo]

[Thinking.]

... Is there anyone else from your world here?

[ulaulakahuna]

None that would know how t... [ wait ] .........actually, you know what? There is a guy who probably knows how to make one.

[Ohhhh, Nanu is going to make sure Guzma keeps this ridiculous promise.]

Do you know a man by the name of Archie?

[woo_oo]

It sounds familiar - I think I might!

I swear to you, I will make mister Guzma a malasada! Even if it fills me!

[ulaulakahuna]

Usually wears a bandana on his head, has a pointy beard? I'll let him know you're looking for someone who can make what you need.

[perfect]

Let me know how it turns out. Maybe I'll go see Guzma with you.

[woo_oo]

Thanks a whole bunch, Mister Nanu! I'll make sure there's plenty for all of us!
