[Someone's in the kitchen, trying to get the hand of this cooking business. Not something royalty is used to, but she figures she should learn.

Although, the smell of smoke is still a bit strong and there are several failed attempts in the trash. Not to mention a mess along the counter and sink.

But whatever is in the pan actually looks good.]

[Comes back with a pitcher of water, pouring some in each glass.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[princesstrapped.livejournal.com]

Your welcome.

[Nearly downs her glass.]

I'll try something less ... burning, next time.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Might be a good idea if you don't like how spicy it is. Or you could change it to have less intensity.

[princesstrapped.livejournal.com]

Good ideas...I'll try those.

[Walks over to the pan and empties the rest of the food into some plastic tupperware to save for later.]

For now, I should clean this mess.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

I'll help out if you want.

[princesstrapped.livejournal.com]

That would be great.

[But glances at the pile of pots and plates in the sink as well as the mess along the counter.]

...if you actually really want to.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

I offered, didn't I?

[princesstrapped.livejournal.com]

[Grins, nodding.]

Don't blame me if you regret it.

[just teasing, but that mountain of dishes iiiis pretty high.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

...You know, we could probably just leave it here. The room will probably clean it up anyway.

[princesstrapped.livejournal.com]

[Was wiping the counter with a wet paper towel, but stops realizing what he said was probably true.]

Oh, right.

[Chuckles.]

I forgot this place had abilities like that.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

It's easy to forget. I still do, and I've been here quite a while. By the way, do you want any coffee?

[princesstrapped.livejournal.com]

[Throws the paper towel away in that case. Glancing at the mess one last time before shrugging the matter away.]

Coffee?

[Thinks.]

Sure. I'll try some.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

There's usually sugar in the cabinet and creamer in the fridge if you want it.

[princesstrapped.livejournal.com]

[Smiles and nods, taking her mug. She takes out some sugar, planning to add a lot, and finds the creamer in the fridge.]

Do you want any?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[princesstrapped.livejournal.com]

[She's not. Adds both creamer and sugar to dilute the intensity, and takes a sip. It's bitter to her, but the sugar makes it sweet at least.]

[princesstrapped.livejournal.com]

[Strong would be an accurate description. She's never really had coffee before anyway. Looks at him, a bit amazed he can drink it so smoothly without anything added.]

Do you usually drink coffee like that?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Mhmm. Sorry, I tend to make it a bit on the strong side.

[princesstrapped.livejournal.com]

I see.

[Shakes her head.]

Its okay. This is actually my first time drinking coffee.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Really? I figured it was pretty common, even in other worlds.

[princesstrapped.livejournal.com]

[Shrugs.]

Well there is coffee, but I never drank it.

[thinks back.]

Usually it was for all the working men or soldiers who needed caffeine.

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

I like the taste of it, but the caffeine is an important part too. I usually either stay up pretty late reading or all day practicing.

[princesstrapped.livejournal.com]

[She's interested.]

You read?

[hmm.]

Practicing fighting?
