Nurr laughed as she walked into the kitchen. "I'd try looking in that cupboard up there," she said, pointing to a small one tucked out of the way. Making herself some hot chocolate and pouring it into a thermos, Nurr nodded to the others and headed outside. Nature was something she enjoyed, and the morning was too beautiful. It was beckoning.

"I'm right here!" Eä stepped into the kitchen taking a diva pose in the doorway.
"Here's your Danish for you, Goldleaf." Catching the astonishment in the attending company's eyes, she hurried to clarify.
"You know, being from Denmark... makes me a Danish, right. Although, there's not much cinnamon to me, I'm afraid." She said wth a huge grin.
"Hello Numa, leaving us already?" She moved to the side as Nurr passed her in the doorway.

Goldleaf grinned at Nurr as she pointed out the cupboard with Danish potential. "Thank you!" She wrenched it open and took out a cinammon danish, neatly prepared on a plate with a knife and fork. "Hmm." Her eyes widened.

She looked round as Ea came in. "I'll try to refrain from eating you," she laughed. "But then I don't eat danishes that aren't cinammon." She removed the lovingly prepared danish from the cupboard and took a huge bite. She then said something that sounded like, "mmmmffffffffff" due to the large ammount of pastry stuffed in her mouth.

Indilwen had been leaning against the wall in the back corner of the kitchen, her blue eyes twinkling with amusement at the scene playing out before her. She held her cup of tea in her two hands, a delicate curl of steam rising from it. She raised it to her lips, and nearly choked when Ea appeared in the doorway. "You got your wish, Goldleaf..." she called mirthfully.

Slamming her book shut, Aria strolled into the kitchen with a friendly smile. "Good day all, how's scavenging for food coming?" She rifled through a lower cabinet herself, emerging with a triumphant cry.

"I found a cappuccino maker! Any of you want some?"

Eä's mouth watered at the sight of her name/nationality .. ehh... whatever sake but she tried to control herself for the purpose of carrying on the relatively civilised conversation with Goldleaf.
"Well, you couldn't know if you'd sprinkle cinnamon on my head when I look away and ..." Her voice trailed off at the very disturbing mental images in her mind. Being a mind reader, even a very poor one, had its good share of side effects of a very vivid imagination. She shook her head and turned her full attention to a cinnamon pastry-stuffed Goldleaf and the others in the kitchen.
"So what have you all planned for today? I was thinking about trying to find some more stuff to decorate for Halloween, perhaps there are some secret hiding places with ... ehh stuff or we could explore the gardens."

"Exploring sounds good!" answered Aria. "Though some time or another today I hope to slip away and do a bit of baking, with our hostesses indulgence."

She set up the cappuccino maker, found the necessary ingredients, and soon it was humming lightly, the delicious aroma of mocha wafting throughout the room.

"One place I'd like to look about in is the billiard room... I can't recall having been there yet." She poured herself a cup of the delicious beverage and sipped it slowly.

"Exploration!" Indilwen exclaimed. "I haven't been able to do much of that yet, except for the graveyard. And that was a most interesting experience, let me tell you..."

She stepped over to the table, and set her teacup down upon it.

"Gardens and billiard rooms... it sounds like today will be an interesting day, for sure!"

"Oh yeah, the infamous Billard Room. I haven't been there yet either. I love pool, I once had a glorious career as a cunning pool player - and I was about seven. But yeah, you know what it's like these days..."
She wasn't sure the others really knew what it was like these days, Eä wasn't even sure she knew it herself.
"What will you bake? Eä craned her neck from her seat at the table to look Aria over her shoulder.

"Mmm, pumpkin pie," said Aria wistfully. "And maybe some other varieties of pie perhaps too; pecan, chocolate... any requests?"

The comment about glorious a glorious pool career made her laugh, and she swiftly added, "And I challenge you to a game of pool sometime today." Her eyes twinkled. "I too, have had a past of notoriety in that sport, er, game, er, thing... at least among my cousins."

[I'm off for a little bit guys... going to the grocery store. Later!]

"Pumpkin pie" she exclaimed. "Such a great idea, how did you come up with that idea so close to All Hallow's Eve?" Eä knew she ought to restrain her usual sarcasm but this exclamation was actually also pure excitement.

[Gosh people, stop it, this talk of food and hot, delicious drinks must stop!!! I'm suffering here!!]

"I accept the challenge" she pulled the coolest face she could, which partly failed as she was too excited about the bakery.

"Pumpkin pie is very appropriate for Halloween of course," Mrs. Haldir said. "But unfortunately, I am do not care for the taste of it, I much prefer peacon."

(Drat, I want some XD)

"Oh, and don't forget the apple pie," Bubbles chimed in, appearing out of nowhere. "All of those thinly slices apples, cinnamon, that tender flaky crust..." Bubbles mouth watered just thinking about it.

i'm back for a little! i'll see how this visit goes.

"Yes, the apple pie!" Indi exclaimed. "With lots and lots of cinnamon. A cherry pie might be nice too..." she said dreamily, her eyes looking upward and her thoughts beginning to wander again. "Pies, pool, and poking around..." she whispered to herself. "Life is good."

Tur clanked in, fully armed. His MG was slung acros his back, he had a knife strapped to each calf, and wore his Webley on his right hip. "Remind me to set up motion activated turrets tonight, won't you?" He asked to no one in particular, sitting down with slight difficulty. He sniffed. "Mmm. Pumpkin pie?" He inquired, putting his Webley on the table next to his plate. His watch had been uneventful, except for Eliza devouring his cloak.

"Alright, all this talk about pies won't make them bake faster I guess." Eä had to fight an increasing craving for home-baked goodies and knew she would have to leave the room immediately in order to keep her frail sanity.

She made her way back to the Dining Room to get her laptop and see if someone had miraculously written her paper in the meantime. Alternatively to see if she would meet people whom she could hols a non-food conversation with.
