Elleanstrous Steelbane grinned deeply at the growing discussion, it made her more comfortable, and strangely as it might seem, she was extremely comfortable in the company of humans as opposed to those of her own faction even in the struggled times.  She nodded at the statement of words, recognizing that the paladin was full aware of what she was at this point.<br/><br/>“Yes, words can be overly powerful in many regards, but….I find discussion rather than destruction a better means to absolution and solving issues, if possible.  Shall I refer to you as Lady Bliss?”<br/><br/>Elle smiled a bit more before turning her gaze back to the cupcakes as she heard the question that referred to the ability of cooking.<br/><br/>“If you have knowledge of actually cooking, yes it does improve the flavor and texture of the cakes.  After all, if you don’t know how the blend of flavors and texture should be at their best, how could you hope to craft that through other means?”<br/><br/>Elle smiled at the elegancy of the cake as she continued to nibble into it, she gazed back up, looking over the Panda realizing that his entire race were that of connoisseurs and began to worry that perhaps, they wouldn’t necessarily be to the standards that his race held in regards to food.  Shrugging the thought off, her gaze finally met that of the human, their eyes interlocked and she smiled a bit.  She had fond memories of the first two wars of the world, torn asunder as Orcs and Humans dragged for allies, the Trolls aiding the Orcs while her own people became partnered deeply with Humans, many interracial partnerships had formed then, but the split had ruined a lot of things, and the state of the world was only getting worse.  After a moment, her shoulders slumped as she remembered some of the darker times of the third war, slowly her gaze broke as she looked back to the cake in solace.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
