[As a skilled detective with divination magic at his disposal, it's not too difficult for L to figure out just which Marie sent the cookies, and he goes about returning the favor almost dutifully.
It would be rude not to, after all.
The next day (late, but not so much as to be absurd), she'll find an answering plate of fried disks on her doorstep. They are practically raw in the center with a runny apple filling, and burnt on the outside. For some reason, the recipe for something intended to be sweet seems to include pepper.
They are truly awful.
The attached note is brief, but sincere enough.]
Thank you for the cookies. Please accept and enjoy these apple latkes as a token of my appreciation.
[Awful the dish may be, it is still a gift and was given in good faith. Marie takes it inside and eats it, all of it. After all, it was really nice of him to give her something in return! It would have been rude to throw it out, especially when Marie herself was a beginner at cooking herself]

I hope that we can become friends, too.
