-LYNN- / -UKAIA-
Lynn watched as Ukaia gathered many ingredients. "No thankyou." Lynn said as she walked to the corner off the kitchen a few feet away. She leaned back against the wall and crossed her arms as Ukaia worked. A green bubble.... Lynn didn't even want to ask. Who knows what really went on here when she wasn't around.
Regardless of what Lynn needed to do and all the work that lined the road ahead of her, this was a good time to get to know Ukaia a little better. "So.... You practice cooking a lot huh? You've had plenty of time I guess..."
Ukaia nodded a little bit at her.
"yeah I really enjoy cooking. Mat taught me and i love bringing things to guests to try and also making new foods with them" she smiled at her again as she began to cook
Lynn continued to watch on. In all honesty she was more concerned about what Ukaia was, rather than who. She knew Ukaia was the manifestation of Khaotica and Mat, but that just left more questions about what exactly this girl was. Her intentions and desires were still a mystery to Lynn.
"I bet Mat's taught you all sorts of things." Lynn said before trailing off to another subject. "So what is it you want to do. Do you have any aspirations?" Lynn asked.
Outside of wakling he taught me everything. I was basciallly a newborn despite being the age i am right now. " she said to her humming as she moved and mixed ingredients. She titled her head
"WHat to I want todo?" she asked curiously. She wasn't sure.. she'd never thought about it. Se titled her head a little bit and looked at her
"I don't know actually.. I've never thought about it, I just.... I guess that I want to learn how to use my powers more now.. But,. I don't know what else." she said puzzled and smiled a bit sheapishly at her
1500 years and Ukaia had never once thought about what she wanted to do with herself? That made Lynn wonder if Ukaia was even a real being. No one lives for that long without wanting something, a goal or a desire for a future.
"Have you ever thought about leaving Khaotica?" Lynn asked, the question a little more serious than the last.
She stopped short at that and turned and looked at her.
"No. Never' she said to her quietly as she turned back to her coking.
"When I didn 't know that this was my home I was terrafied I'd end up waking up and leave here. But I am very happy here now.. I get to meet thousands of new people.. hear about different places.. Why would i wanna go anywhere" she giggled at her. She put the cookies in the oven to bake
"esides.. the inn creates all these amazing rooms so i get to go anywhere I want to with out leaving home" she smiled
Lynn was a little set back by this response. Given what she knew about Ukaia's curiousity Lynn was surprised that she never wanted to go visit other worlds. Given all that Ukaia had heard how could she not want to go and explore everything that the universe had to offer? Perhaps someday Lynn would be able to change her mind. A vacation from these lonely halls might due them all some good.
"Yeah... This place sure is an oddity. But its to bad, I was hoping that someday we could convence Mat and Khaotica to take us somewhere. Maybe go a little sight seeing. You get to stare out that window at all sorts of worlds, but I've never once been off my own planet. I wonder how Earth is doing anyway..." Lynn said as her thoughts trailed off for a moment.
Ukaia thought about it for a moment and then tilted her head. that..might not be bad. She smiled alittle bit
"mabye.." she said to her and then titled her head and looked over at her curiously. Earth huh? She begant o clean up a little bit
"I might like to try " she said tilting her head a little as she thought about it. It might be nice to visit the real place insted of just the crated one. She was.. just alittle bit afraid of leaving the ship..
A smile came across Lynn's face. After all that had happened recently it was good for Ukaia to have something to look forward to. Speaking of something to look forward to, Lynn could smell Ukaia's baking. Although she hadn't had the desire to eat since she dawned this new body, Lynn wouldn't mind trying some of Ukaia's baked goods.
"Good then. The kitchens starting to smell nice because of your cooking Ukaia... I might just have to try something once you finish." Lynn said smirking a little.
Ukaia beamed at her when she said that she would have to try the cookies
"I'm glad" she said brightly as she checked on them in the oven. They were almost done. she was vry very happy to hear Lynn want to try it.
"So you come from earth? And how did you end up .. well " she titled her head
"You knnow being like me here. Making this your home. I've nevr had Mat metion that anyone could actuallly live here like us. " she said curiously
For a moment there Lynn forgot about keeping her identity secret from Ukaia. As of right now it'd likely confuse her anyway. "Well, like I told you before I'm just a friend of Mat's. When he asked for my help in your training I decided to accept since it would be a good chance to see him again. Not to mention when he told me he had a kid... I almost died of shock. Your fathers not the smoothest of operators when it comes to women." Lynn said.
Ukaia blinked and then she laughed a bit an smiled at her
"Really? I guess I wouldn't really know" she laughed and the imer went off so she got the cookies out of the oven so that they could cool off
"Thank you very much for being willing to come here and help me learn how to controll my abilities" she siled as she looked at her and then got one of the cookies and brought them over
"hot hot hot" she giggled
"Its not a problem...." Lynn said, her eyes gazing down at Ukaia's baked goods. She couldn't help it. Lynn's eyes scanned every surface of each cookie. They were decently cooked, in fact Lynn was sure they would taste just fine... But during her old exploits she had gotten the art of cooking down to an exact science. Lynn could cook any earthly dish to a complete and perfect level and from what she could see from Ukaia's cookies... They were far from perfection.
Regardless, Lynn decided to wait a few more moments for the cookies to cool before jumping in to early. "So... Of all the people that come here, have you ever met a boy? You know... One you 'liked'?" Lynn said before elbowing Ukaia in the arm smiling.
Ukaia took on of the cookies and then took a bite.She bliked at Lynn and then she giggled
"I like Mat" she said chearfuly to her. And obviously honestly
"But i've never.. had somone come though that i liked.. no" she said curiously to her. She wondered if that was normal. then again what was normal for her
"I mean. i know they will all leave.. so Ijust try to have funwhile they are here.. except for davy jones.. eugh" she muttered her nose wrinkling
Lynn stopped for a moment and raised an eyebrow at Ukaia. "Davy Jones?" Lynn asked curiously. Davy Jones like the pirate? It would appear that Lynn wasn't the only one from Earth that had frequented Khaotica.
Ukaia nodded a little bit
"Yeah.. he's.,. a walking disaster!!! it's disgusting" she muttered shaking her head. she took a bite ofher cookie. mmm so yummy!!!
"we always have to sanitise everything he touches " she muttered
Lynn looked a little disgusted now as she imagined the possibilities. Putting aside Ukaia's slimey friend Lynn took one of the cookies that was still warm and decided to take a bite. A few bites later and Lynn had finished it off. Nothing out of the ordinary. At least they were burnt. Regardless of how imperfect they were Lynn reached over and grabbed another cookie. A warm cookie was a warm cookie regardless of how perfect.
"Not bad kid." Lynn said as she chewed. "But these cookies are missing milk.... Seems like I'm going to have my hands full with you." Lynn sighed.
Ukaia giggled and was pleased she was eating the cookies. earing they needed milk she happily went o the fridge and got out the milk then poured two cups and brouht them over to her with a happy smilkee
"I agree" she said brightly
This was what she wanted. Even though it felt like she was somehow incomplete... It was nice to cut loose. To relax and be herself, or what she thought was herself. No more pushing herself, or striving to be someone she wasn't.
Lynn took the cup and had a drink. The contrast was perfect, but that wasn't the reason she was smiling. Lynn could put her responsibilities behind her for right now. "So what does someone with infinite time that can go and see just about anything do in their spare time?"
Ukaia purred happily a** he ate her cookie and sipped the milk. She ggrinned
"I like to explore the Kahotica, or write in my books if i've heard new stories from guest.. I like to paint also and just things like that. but I really have fun exploring,. Since i'm always finding something new here" she grinned happily
All the years Ukaia had lived here and she continued still to find new rooms? For some reason Lynn found the prospect absolutely terrifying, but hey if it kept Ukaia busy for this long then that would explain why she hasn't gone completely crazy cooped up in this place.
"You don't say."
Ukaia nodded happily at her " yep I love to explore.. and finding new rooms and sometimes refinding old ones" she giggled as she finished off her milk and sighed happily. mm tasty
Lynn closed her eyes and took in a deep breath. "Well, as much as I'd like to stay and chat I have to get some things prepared for you lessons." Lynn said before turning to the tray of cookies. She reached down and took one, stuffing it into her pocket. In fact she took way more than she should have, leaving less than half left. "Come to my room after a while when your ready, also I'm taking these." Lynn said as she started to walk out of the kitchen.
"And don't worry about the cookies, you've got an eternity to make some more." She said with her back turned to Ukaia before walking out the kitchen door. Lynn held up her hand and waved away to the cat girl before walking out of site and down the halls...
