Elrayne squirmed a little in the hug before she slowly returned it awkwardly.<span style="color: #b30059">"are you serious? your pulling my tail right? tell me your pulling my tail. a Naga Priestess?"</span>she shook her head and turned to collect her basket of tools.<span style="color: #b30059">"the whole world has up and lost it's mind... may Elune's light shine on you Crimzon. i will come back in a few days then to complete my work."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #330066">"i would very much like that. the only Eternal i ever met was grandmother but she was too afraid to even try to help me... I'm afraid i was never very polite or kind to her after that."</span>she looked at him a bit shocked for a moment before she smiled a little.<span style="color: #330066">"thank you. honestly most of my life was spent learning how to control aunty, I'm afraid she caused rather a lot of property damage along the way and said some truly horrible things but the people that raised me never paid her any mind no matter what she broke or screamed. but i never let her hurt anyone, whenever she tried its... it's like i found a whole new barrel of willpower and i would trounce her so hard she couldn't even whine about it for weeks."</span>Ras would be all too familiar with that willpower since his own Kitori had it as well and Rayne before them. she got up to follow him, bringing her teapot and she looked around the kitchen and then smiled and gave that same little bow.<span style="color: #330066">"then take a seat."</span>she smiled and unhitched her pack and stood it on the counter and opened it up. from his view he would see that it was more like a little cupboard with little drawers and the scent of spices filled the room, some where exotic and unknown but many he recognized. besides the little drawers that presumably held the spices there was a little kitchen set, obviously made to cook for one on the go though as stated the teapot was missing from it's slot. hanging on on door was a change of clothes and the other had a bedroll. first she went to the sink and washed her hands before she went to the freezer and carefully selected a steak but then frowned and thumped the edge of the frozen meat on the counter and looked at him since he had neglected to explain the thawing plate built into the counter top. that explained she set the steak on it and went about collecting, chopping and dicing some vegetables and then set a pan on the stove to heat as she poured a dash of some strange oil from her pack into it. once she steak was thawed she set to rubbing a light layer of spices into it front and back, massaging the seasoning into the steak. finally ready the steak went into the pan with a lovely sizzling sound followed by the vegetables. instead of using a spatula she grabbed the handle of the pan and with a flourish whipped the pan, veggies and meat all flying into the air and falling back to be caught in the pan with a fresh sizzle.<span style="color: #330066">"how do you like it?"</span>once he named his preferred rarity she nodded and just when he knew it would be getting close she snapped her fingers over the sizzling pan, using just the smallest spark of power and a great gout of fire erupted and vanished and she had it on the plate before the flame had fully dissipated and she served it to him with a knife and fork and another of her small bows.<span style="color: #330066"> "enjoy."</span>if her lineage was at al in question the first bite would kill it dead. the unknown spices had brought out the flavor of the steak in ways Ras could only dream of but the others were just what he himself would choose and it was cooked to perfection. the accompany veggies had also infused it with even more complimentary flavors that would leave him wondering why he hadn't thought to use them. while he ate she filled her new tea kettle and set to making herself a glass of fragrant tea, the scent just as foreign as the seasonings she had used on the steak.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
