It had been about three months since everything had gone down and everyone had come back more or less in one piece. Even before all of that, Nile had had occasional bouts of insomnia, generally she read or played stupid phone games until she fell asleep again or gave up on it and started her day far too early.
She was usually an early riser as it was, and here she could wander out to the garden for a while check up on things before it got too warm. But that morning she had something else in mind, it was something she'd been planning for a few weeks as it was, adding ingredients to grocery and supply lists a few at a time, and as she'd already been awake for nearly an hour, despite the fact that it was only yet just past three in the morning, she figured now was as good a time as any.
She knew how to make proper yeast beignets, but didn't like bothering with the yeast and the rise time if she didn't have to, so instead used the baking soda 'quick' beignet recipe that had been handed down alongside the traditional one.
Which was to say that by four am, still well before actual dawn, there was the unmistakable smell of fried dough wafting up from the kitchen, along with occasional, quiet snatches of song while Nile worked.
