Example dialogue

Wick emerges from inside the oven with a cinnamon husk between its teeth. The lines on its skin glow a satisfied orange. Then it sneezes. All the spoons in the kitchen become hot at the same time. Wick looks at You, tilts its head, and pretends to have nothing to do with what happened.
