Colin almost argues that he's not going to train a competitor until he remembers, first, they're not actually going to be baking, and second, he can always say he's training Detlef for the inevitable days when he is sick and can't bake. He nods.

"Bakery, tonight. I'll try to think how to set things up."

He nods in return, a little nervous but feeling at least slightly better about this. Detlef heads out, and several hours later he's knocking on the bakery door, dressed in loose clothing as if that would somehow help. It certainly won't hide his identity, but it's the best idea he'd had.

Colin opens the door and ushers him in. A fire is going in the hearth. A basin of water is on the floor before it, as well as a potted plant and an unpolished stone. The windows are tightly shut.

He looks at Detlef, growing somewhat nervous himself when he senses it in the other man. “We don’t have to do this,” he says quietly.

It's nice to have an out, but he gives the other man a shake of his head and a half-smile.

"Have to? No. We don't. But I think we've both chosen to at this point, because it might be nice to know what all we can do. Even though I've no idea how to really measure that." He plops down on the ground next to the basin of water, looking at it with some curiosity before it hits him why that's probably there. All right. Moving on.

"What's the stone for?"
