☀️ Arselia and Akonia

“Alright, here’s the plan,” the girl said in a commanding tone, as she and Guion found themselves in the kitchen. “We’re going to make pies with harpy meat. I’m an experienced cook, but I’ve never worked with this kind of meat before. I have a general idea of what to expect, but I’m giving you a heads-up. So, you might need some taste buds after we finish the first batch. Let me know if something’s not right, if something’s missing or if there’s too much of something. You seem to enjoy eating, so you should know what’s good.” After finding a couple of larger bowls and placing them on the kitchen table, followed by the rest of the numerous ingredients, she continued. “We won’t get it done quickly if we only do one thing at a time. Otherwise, you’ll just be standing around doing nothing, like an observer. You can whip the dough. If you’re afraid you won’t be able to handle it, just tell me. I won’t insist on your participation. The process itself isn’t difficult, but it’s tedious. Considering how quickly you handle swords, your hands won’t fall off from this. But still, don’t relax; we need to make sure there are no lumps. I’ll show you the right combination and what needs to be mixed, and I’ll also show you how to whip it. I’ll probably do all of this myself for the first batch so you can understand the idea. But don’t hesitate to ask questions; I won’t bite. And then you can join in, and I’ll focus on the filling. After that, we’ll see how you did. We’ll draw conclusions about whether you’re fit to be an ‘apprentice,’ so to speak, or if we should just give you the task of shaping the dough and nothing else. Is that clear? Do you have any questions or suggestions?”
