Revan said that I could do other things while waiting for the book.

After a short break from reading, but still not waiting for Klin to return, Alaria decided to take care of another pressing matter – try to fulfill Tai's request. It wasn't the easiest task, especially considering that she didn't know the servant very well. But she already understood that he was a simple, down-to-earth guy, not too concerned with high matters. In certain matters, he was a man of mood. And he also seemed to be a big fan of female beauty, judging by the figurines. If she combined all this information with her existing set of skills, there weren't many options left.

Making sure that all the other members of the group had scattered and were busy with their own Carnelian or not-so-Carnelian affairs, the Tanarian woman locked herself in the kitchen and began to work on her dark deed. She decided to bake a small cake for the imperial servant. One that would not only be tasty and nutritious but also pleasing to the eye. And the former inquisitor had some ideas about what kind of visual would appeal to Tai (ha-ha!). She might not be a master of making figurines, but she knew how to decorate cakes and make beautiful sweets. Other dishes were quite worthy of being called works of art, and the girl understood this perfectly. Therefore, an important element of the gift cake was a small figurine of a rather, well, shapely girl, cheerfully clutching a party popper in her hands. Like the girls who jump out of cakes at some private men's parties, this beauty would do the same. A kind of centerpiece. It was delicate and not easy work, but Alaria was sure that she would handle it perfectly.

The cake itself, in turn, was decorated accordingly, like its larger festive counterparts. It was not worth skimping on the decor, considering that even the smallest elements had to work on the composition. Thus, colored sprinkles were used to reflect the confetti from the party popper surrounding the jumping girl. The Tanarian woman intended for her creation to be a feast not only for the stomach but also for the eyes. She wanted to approach the task with all seriousness in order to please the customer. Not so much because she wouldn't get paid otherwise, but out of work ethic. Of course, the work also had a semi-hidden duality. It was a surprise for the young man, who didn't know how he would be surprised or if he would be surprised at all. And the composition also reflected this kind of surprise. There might be fewer semantic layers than in the cake itself, but there were still enough. And there didn't need to be many, for someone like Tai.

Unfortunately, I didn't find suitable pictures, so I'll have to do without them.

When the work was completed and carefully packed, the girl also grabbed a few warmed-up pies of both types and went to look for the servant where he had asked. It really wasn't worth visiting the villa without a need.
