<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: arial;">Irene giggled at Emiko’s carefree response. She finished up the meat to add into the sauce, setting the pan off to the side. The apron was still good as new having handled herself well around frying meat. She wanted to relax with another beer, so she casually roamed over toward the refrigerator; passing everyone smiling on her way over. Once she snagged one of six bottles left, she noticed that there were a few bottles of red wine in the door and grinned. </span><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: arial;"> </span><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: arial;">“I’m done with the stove so you can…when ready to insert the bread Wade.” She smiled keeping a pleasant atmosphere. “Well, I’m finished with helping.” Irene plopping into a seat at the table cracking open her beer, pondering how many actual new guest arrived. But for now she was rather enjoying the cozy atmosphere of the kitchen. Secretly it reminded her of the days she was being taught how to cook back home. But she was no homemaker by far and wouldn’t be feeling the adventure of being an Archeologist. She was due for field work as a student next year and couldn’t wait to go on some far off dig. </span><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: arial;"> </span><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: arial;">But of course for now she reopened the possibilities of the reasons she was there. Ashlyn had something up her sleeves and that was for a lack of a better word frightening. “I’ll go set the table…I suppose eventually I’ll glimpse the new arrivals at some point to have a perfect head count.” She grinned. Getting up she also picked up her bottle of beer to take with her. Looking over the kitchen’s layout tried to guess in which cabinet the plates and glasses were. The house was grand and had a great kitchen to match with a lot of cupboard space.</span><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: arial;"> </span><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: arial;">“Hmm, ok Emiko which cabinet do I go into for plates and glasses?”</span>
