As Basil hugged his grandmother, he noticed Colette's internal struggle over the sweets on the counter and with his grandmother cradled in his arms he grabbed one with his free hand, shoving it in his mouth whole behind his grandmother's back and smearing jam and powdered sugar all over his face in the process. After a moment he became visible, just before pulling away from his grandmother's hold. His expression was very smug looking, as if he wanted to say ' I got to do the thing you wanted, ha ha'. He disappeared as suddenly as he had appeared, his grandmother did not notice. She broke the hug with him and turned to Colette.
"Now then, are you going to introduce me to this girl or you just going to make her stand here awkwardly in my kitchen all night while we eat without her because no one knows who she is?"
"Ah yes! Bubbe, this is Colette Madelaine Astrid Rosenhof.
Colette, this is my grandmother, Esther Stolarz."
"You can call me Estee dear. Most do."
