Felyrin gasps in astonishment.

Theresa says 'Who can turn down a bake off.'

Vhalerie says 'well food is most certainly a wisdomy activity, lets see who has what it takes?'

Felyrin eyes Theresa's belly with a worried look.

Theresa rubs her belly, with a slight smirk.

Felyrin pats her own slim waist.

Felyrin pales.

Theresa says 'I would be much bigger if I did not do sit ups.'

In the Private Quarters
This is a very tidy room, lined with neatly made bunks and sparkling clean.
Jurien the Innkeeper must clean this area constantly. The floor is scrubbed
clean and the wood shines with a glowing patina from years of travel and
care. A few pieces of furniture stand in the center of the room to be used
by Wisdoms and students alike.

A crumpled note lies on the floor.

Felyrin looks back and forth.

Felyrin sneaks Neela a coin to be more 'helpful' to her.

Felyrin looks innocent.

Theresa says 'Very respectful person Jurien is.'

Vhalerie gives the apprentice an order.
The apprentice looks at you blanky, just one?

Theresa peers at Felyrin as she gives Neela a few more coins.

Felyrin grumbles a little, and sneaks a second!

Felyrin nods her head, bells in her hair jingling.

Vhalerie gives the apprentice an order.
The apprentice says 'you know i have no part of this right?'

Felyrin nods her head, bells in her hair jingling.

Vhalerie says 'alright! what do we have here? felyrin first dont be shy'

Felyrin steps up.

Theresa studies what Felyrin does closely.

Felyrin reaches behind her back, then forward, and cracks her knuckles loudly.

wink theresa
Felyrin winks suggestively at Theresa.

Vhalerie inhales deeply, smelling the air.

Felyrin says 'Hmm... so, I think I may bake a pie!'

peer theresa
Felyrin peers closely at her, trying to figure her out.

Felyrin looks around the kitchen for supplies.

Vhalerie says 'if you have any trouble finding anything dear, please just ask'

Felyrin says 'Is it okay if I rummage around for what I need?'

Felyrin says 'I don't want to intrude.'

Vhalerie says 'absolutely, make yourself at home'

Vhalerie says 'and you theresa what is on the menu for today?'

Felyrin smiles happily.

Theresa says 'I thought about doing a sweet bread with a cheese filling.'

Felyrin sizes up her competition as she prepares.

Theresa says 'I call it...cheesy bread.'

Vhalerie says 'hmmmmm sounds delicious, there should be some along the top counter over there, a wheel of goats cheese on the left or cheddar on the
right.'

Felyrin moves cupboard to cupboard, gathering a mixing bowl, flour, a cup, filling it with water, and miscellaneous ingredients.

Theresa says 'Oh excellent.'

Theresa walks over to the cheddar and says, 'Wow, this is top notch cheese. This will be perfect.'

Felyrin listens as she focuses on her work, combining the items into the bowl, pouring it together and creating a ball of dough.

Vhalerie says 'really? i thought that was the one neela made.'

Vhalerie boggles at the thought.

Theresa bumps into Felryin and apologies as she looks for a second bowl and flour.

Theresa says 'She must have done a good job.'

Theresa secretly tries to taste the cheese.

Vhalerie checks out the window for flying pigs.

Felyrin due to her focus, loses her balance, accidentally knocking the bag of flour off the table!

Theresa says 'You know what...maybe I will try the other.'

Theresa says 'Oh my, I am sorry.'

Felyrin watches in horror as the room fills with a cloud of white dust.

Felyrin coughs loudly.

Felyrin coughs loudly.

Theresa helps clean up the flour on the ground.

Felyrin weezes.

Theresa says 'You have breathing issues too like me?'

Theresa reaches out to help Felyrin up.

Theresa says 'Grab a hold friend, lets get this going.'

Felyrin says horsely, 'I do when I inhale flour!'

Felyrin chuckles politely.

[remove ]
Felyrin stops using a water skin.

Theresa says 'Fair enough.'

drink skin
Felyrin drinks the water.
Felyrin doesn't feel thirsty any more.

Felyrin says 'Ahh, that's better.'

wear water

Vhalerie says 'oh dear, heres a glass of water, then lets get that cleaned up'

Felyrin puts a water skin on your belt.

Felyrin runs out and quickly returns with a broom.

Vhalerie bellows 'Neela! looks like you get to grind more flour!'

Theresa helps finish cleaning the flour.

Theresa says 'I will work on the right side and you the left.'

Theresa says 'So we do not make more messes.'

Felyrin nods at Felyrin.

Felyrin smiles happily.

Theresa grabs the bag of flour and hands it to Felyrin.

Felyrin closes what remains of the bag of flour and sets it off to the side, focusing again on the dough.

Theresa tries to grab the goats cheese without anyone noticing.

Theresa takes the flour and mixes it with some water in the bowl.

Felyrin kneads the dough carefully, setting it on the table and rolling it out flat.

Theresa begins to stir the bowl while adding a few other ingredients.

Felyrin taps her chin.

Felyrin says 'Ah! A pie plate. Wisdom Vhalerie, do you happen to have something I could use?'

Theresa peering over at Felyrin, takes note and also begins to roll out the dough but a bit thicker.

Felyrin looks at Theresa's thicker dough and rolls hers out just slightly thicker.

Vhalerie grabs a rolling pin off the wall. "excuse the dent, most wisdoms like spoons for disciplining, but i prefer the pin."

nod felyrin
Felyrin nods her head, bells in her hair jingling.

Theresa looks at Vhalerie a bit suspiscious but

Vhalerie says 'oh a pie plate yes, here in the cupboard'

Theresa looks at Vhalerie a bit suspicious but continues to flatten her dough.

Felyrin smiles brightly.

Theresa follows Vhalerie over and looks for a square pan.

Felyrin says 'Perfect, perfect. I'm sure this will be the most delicious pie or cheese bread that you have ever tasted.'

Theresa says 'Yes, yes the best.....'

Theresa looks a tad worried.

Theresa walks back to the counter placing a tad of oil on the bottom of the pan, then laying the dough on top.

Theresa says 'Oh dear, we should be pre heating the stove.'

Felyrin lines the pie tin with the completed dough, whipping out her knife and trimming the edges.

Felyrin thinks really hard.

Vhalerie says "I do hope so, all that smobbing earlier made me awefully hungry"

Vhalerie's stomach rumbles.

Theresa walks over the stove and uses the firestarter to light the fire.

Theresa says 'There we go, should be ready by the time we are done.'

Felyrin smiles happily.

Theresa walks back over and takes the cheese placing it on a plate.

Felyrin turns back to her pie, pulling the bowl in front of here, starting to combine some more ingredients.

Theresa looks around for a knife.

Vhalerie points at the counter along the far wall.

Theresa says 'There a best knife here for cutting evenly?'

Theresa walks over and grabs the largest knife she can find.

Theresa says 'This should be good either way.'

Vhalerie says 'however you see fit!'

Felyrin says 'A couple cups of water, a touch of spice...'

Theresa walks to the plate and begins cutting it evenly and slightly thin.

Felyrin pours in a healthy helping of belladona berries, mixing the concoction in the bowl to a smooth consistency.

Felyrin says 'It still seems to be missing something...'

Felyrin looks around.

Felyrin says 'Ah!'

Theresa places the thin cheese on top of the dough.

Theresa looks at the extra cheese she cut off.

Theresa eats a chunk of cheese.

Theresa looks around to see if anyone noticed.

Felyrin notices a sample of kaf, grabs it, and pulls out her knife to chop it up.

Vhalerie smiles a bucktooth grin.

Vhalerie says 'part of the cook's perrogitive I've always said.'

Vhalerie says 'hrmm kaf in a berry pie?'

Theresa says 'Not a bad idea felyrin.'

Felyrin stops herself just before cutting, seeming to remember something.

Felyrin says 'Yes!'

Felyrin says 'Just a touch though'

Vhalerie ponders life, the universe, and everything.

Felyrin says 'You know how after a large helping you can get drowsy? This helps offset that!'

Felyrin says 'So you can eat it for longer.'

Vhalerie chuckles politely.

Theresa says 'Such a good idea.'

Felyrin says 'My own secret ingredient.'

Felyrin says 'Don't let my mother know I told you!'

Theresa says 'I need to step my game up.'

Felyrin winks conspiratorially.

Vhalerie smiles a bucktooth grin.

Theresa says 'Lets try something extra too!'

Theresa looks through her bag pulling out a tangy looking sauce.

Felyrin grabs a mortar and pestle and grinds up the sample of kaf.

Vhalerie nudges some extra sugar in your direction.

Felyrin checks the bowl, then grinds up some more.

Felyrin says 'Sometimes a knife isn't always the right tool for the job!'

Theresa pours a very small amount of sauce on top of the cheese.

Felyrin smiles at her.

Vhalerie says 'good! she can learn!'

Vhalerie smiles happily.

Vhalerie says 'well remembered'

Felyrin pours it into the bowl, mixing it in thoroughly, and finally pouring all of the filling into the pie crust.

Theresa stretches her neck out looking over at Felyrin's food.

Theresa says 'Looking good girl.'

Theresa takes some pepper and adds it evenly all around the pan.

Felyrin rolls out another circle of dough, pokes some holes in it, and layers it on top of the pie, crimping the edges with ehr fingers.

Vhalerie sneezes.

Felyrin says 'Theresa, do you think the oven is fully heated?'

Vhalerie says 'ah excuse me, glad i got away from the food in time'

Theresa says 'It should be by now, or close to it.'

Felyrin nods her head, bells in her hair jingling.

Theresa says 'I am about ready myself so once we are both done we can put it in.'

Theresa says 'So we do not waste heat.'

Felyrin says 'Good idea!'

Theresa finishes up spreading the cheese and other ingredients on the bread.

Theresa says 'Actually, mine is good to go whenever you are ready.'

Felyrin quickly picks up the pie tin and slides it into the oven just before Theresa.

Felyrin grins knowingly.

Theresa looks around slowly, as if something is hidden in the room.

Theresa walks over to the oven with her pan looking at Felryin a bit sassily.

Theresa puts the pan in the oven, closing it after.
Felyrin arches an eyebrow.

Kendall bellows 'private party?'

Vhalerie chuckles politely.

Theresa says 'I am not going to lie'

Vhalerie bellows 'would you like to help judge this bakeoff?'

Theresa says 'Never really baked before...only fried eggs and bacon normally.'

Theresa says 'So lets see how this goes.'

Theresa twiddles her thumbs a bit nervously.

Felyrin says 'The waiting to see how it comes out is the worst part.'

Theresa says 'It really is.'

Felyrin says 'I have a tenancy to burn them.'

Theresa says 'Did you cook a lot growing up?'

Felyrin says 'I did some, but not a lot.'

Vhalerie says 'well at least you have the willingness to try and perform your best, Neela is worse I assure you but she gets the cooking done at
least'

Theresa says 'Only get better by trying.'

Felyrin says 'Easy to say before tasting it!'

Theresa lets out a laugh, followed by a snort.

Felyrin chuckles politely.

Vhalerie says 'hah! we shall see!'

Vhalerie nods at Theresa.

Theresa says 'It should be done about now!'

Vhalerie says 'smells like the cheese pie is done yes those are done quicker'

Theresa walks over to the oven before Felyrin.

Theresa opens the oven and takes out the pan of cheesy bread.

Felyrin sniffs happily as smells of baking bread and pie waft through the room.

Theresa sits it on the counter to cool.

Vhalerie smiles happily.

Vhalerie says 'with just a minute to cool.... that sure does smell good'

Felyrin slips on a pair of gloves and pulls out the steaming pie, setting it on the table.

Theresa takes the mitt and waves it over the top to cool it faster.

Felyrin pulls out her knife again.

Felyrin says 'Now is time for the knife!'

Vhalerie says 'nicely done, see how the cheese is crisping up, that is just about perfect'

Theresa says 'So what I made was a 2 inch think bread topped with goats cheese. I added a bit of a tangy sauce but just a dab with salt and pepper.'
Felyrin says 'Want me to carve them up?'

Theresa says 'Feel free Felyrin.'

Vhalerie says 'hrmm i haven not tried one with a tangy sause before, lets see how it works'

Theresa takes the knife and offers it up to Felyrin.

Felyrin using the razor-sharp edge Felyring quickly slices up the bread into manageable slices, and carves the pie into quarters.

Theresa says 'I felt pressured to do add stuff like she did.'

Felyrin serves out a slice of pie and bread on places for Vhalerie, Theresa, Jurien and herself.

Theresa says 'Not much of a baker.'

Felyrin says 'Enjoy!'

Theresa take a fork and cuts into the pie first.

Vhalerie gives the cheese a small nibble.

Theresa looks over at Felyrin as she takes the first bite.

Felyrin Quickly takes a bite from he pie.

Theresa says 'Oh blessed by the Creator, this pie is so good!'

Theresa sits her fork down trying to hide her displeasure with the food.

Vhalerie says 'hrmm it is good overall, i would avoid adding things just because someone else does, you want to pick things that pair well with the
flavor'

Felyrin nibbles at the bread, then scarfs the rest down quickly.

Theresa says 'Yes, I was afraid that would happen.'

Felyrin reaches for a second slice of bread, then scarfs it down as well.

Theresa says 'If I am going to be cooking for you Wisdoms, more that is something I need to study.'

Felyrin says 'This bread is excellent!'

Vhalerie says 'next time stick with something that you know works well, or consult someone if you are not sure how it will go'

Theresa takes a bite of the cheesy bread, trying to act like it is not the worse thing she has had.

Theresa says 'Yes Wisdom, I shall.'

Felyrin chuckles politely.

Theresa gets a plate with bread and green veined cheese from a backpack.

Vhalerie says 'but the dough is great, you did a good job with that, especialy for someone who doesnt cook often, it can be hard to get it rise just
right'

Theresa says 'This was something I made earlier.'

Theresa gives a plate with bread and green veined cheese to Vhalerie.

Theresa says 'see if that is better, when i stick to the basics.'

Vhalerie eats a plate with bread and green veined cheese.

Theresa says 'I have been trying to learn a bit. I know Wisdoms love to eat.'

Vhalerie says 'ahhh yes, see you can cook!!'

Vhalerie walks over to the pie for dessert

Theresa says 'I can sometimes put a bit of pressure on myself for no reason.'

Theresa takes another bite of the pie.

Theresa says 'This pie is really good.'

Vhalerie says 'if its pressure to perform that can be a good thing, but careful not to overdo it'

Vhalerie cuts out a slice of pie and starts eating it.

Theresa says 'Yes, I am very competitive so still learning to tame that part of me sometimes.'

Vhalerie says 'hmmmmm this is good, i was a little worried about the kaf but you didnt overdo it'

Felyrin's cheeks are burning.

Theresa says 'Maybe I will have her teach me some of her secrets.'

Felyrin says 'The trick is to only add a touch for the kick, but not affect the flavor.'

Theresa smiles at Felyrin.

Vhalerie smiles happily.

Vhalerie says 'interesting, I'm glad I was able to learn something today too! '

Theresa says 'We shall have to do this again!'

Theresa says 'I must redeem myself!'

Theresa snickers softly.

Theresa snorts loudly after snickering.

Vhalerie gives the apprentice an order.
The apprentice says 'yes! please do, come cook every day if you like!'

Vhalerie gives the apprentice an order.
The apprentice whispers 'that way i dont have to'

Theresa says 'Oh dear, I am sure you do need a break.'

Theresa says 'Maybe I can practice and at least leave food here if no one is awake.'

Felyrin pulls out a scrap of paper with a list of one item on it. Quickly adds 'cheesy bread' to the list.

Felyrin says 'So many things we can bake for you again!'

Vhalerie says 'im sure it would be appreciated, thank you for joining'

Felyrin puts the scrap back in her pouch.

Theresa says 'Thank you for having us.'

Theresa waves goodbye to the apprentice.

Vhalerie says 'and thank you for joining! have a good night!'

Theresa says 'Take care Jurien.'

Felyrin says 'It was a pleasure!'

Felyrin smiles brightly.

Vhalerie says 'and you as well! let theresa exit please'
