He felt proud that Amora didn't leave immediately; he wouldn't have blamed her if she did.  Funny, how Hilda always seemed to be around important decisions of the house.  No sooner had they left her room that she came around the other bend, seeing her lord holding Amora's hand.<br/><br/>"Drinian!  Don't be foolish; she's can't hardly do anything.  I didn't want to tell his Lordship for fear that he would get mad.  But in the stew, she accidently dropped in some garlic."<br/><br/>Drinian bellowed out a loud laugh!  "It was the best ingredient Hilda!"  Hilda wasn't herself laughing.<br/><br/>"Some of your help in the kitchen could use some lessons from our newest servant, Amora."<br/><br/>"But ... but ..."<br/><br/>"No buts, Hilda!  You'd better learn how to get along with her, she is the new head of wait staff and cookery."<br/><br/>With this, Hilda gave a frown.  She was obviously one who liked to get in the last word.  "I didn't want to tell your Lordship lest he get mad at me; but, I wouldn't want to tell Amora ... your SECRET."<br/><br/>To this Drinian stopped; looking squarely at the older woman, he scrunched his face.  "That's why you are still the head of the kitchen; however, consider yourself a co-coordinator along with Amora."  With that, he led Amora away down to the kitchen to finish their meal.  Suddenly, Drinian called up to Hilda - "Tell everyone to leave me and Amora alone; I want to spend the rest of the evening with her."
