Makoto's strengths are neither in cooking nor in serving people, so he's been mostly working on hauling things around. For the moment though he... has nothing to haul, so he wanders over to Ran's area. His hands are at least clean - he'd had that drilled into his head, to wash his hands any time he was in the kitchen and not the storeroom - which is good because he immediately puts his hands on the table where she's working, looking at what she's doing with curiosity.

... He knows she's baking something, but what exactly it is, he's not sure.
