They blushed. "If you put it that way..." Jell got backhanded.
Jaun smiled and chuckled. "He he, what my brother means to say is that we um...are kind of bored. Bored to the point of elaving the plaane. But we don't want to leave, we like it here. Can you show us soemtrhing worth sticking around for?"
Jell's eyes and got wide, shaking his ahnds, "Besides you, Star Flower. If you asked us to stay, we'd do it."
"With bells on."
"Ding-a-ling."

She had been ready to pout and say that she wasn't worth sticking around for but they caught themselves. Those two, for some reason she actually did like them. She lifted them off her shoulders and swung Jell by his tail in her right hand and Jell got swung in her left. "Breaking Malik's dishes is a good reason to stick around. So is eating his boots. And I don't think you ever figured out what was in his hair, did you?" She racked her brain for a moment trying to think of a game for the two of them to play to keep them busy. "And there's always someone new popping in. I mean, there's a lot going on that you two would miss out on if you left." She shook her head and loifted both of them up looking into their eyes and smiled, "Star Flower would like you stay. Very much, with or without bells."

The two 'wee'd' while being swung, because hey, nausia was fun.
"We dont' get all that much of reaction from breaking the dished. And Malik's boots taste weird." But Jell smiled. "Maybe we haven't found his really good pairs yet. Or the good china...."
"Actually, we did find out. It was his skull! Who would have thought? Hiding a brain under all that hair. Really, I was certain he had a holding barge in there or something." Jaun looked dissapointed.
"I kind of would have prefered some blood sucking monster. Or a tenticle thing." He held his fingers to his mouth, making a 'blaaarblehgurge!' noise. "Like that."
The both giggled when she asked them to stay, and started making bell noises.

She shook her head and rolled her eyes. "With bells it is then." She laughed when they seemed so amazed at the fact Malik had a brain in his head, that to her was extremely funny. She swung them a bit more and racked her brain for an idea of a game. There had to be something she could give them to do. Then she thought of something and grinned at them. She tossed them off knowing they'd love it if they crashed into a wall or the floor or anything like that and stood there for a moment. "Why don't you two follow me? I have a surprise for you." She walked off toward the kitchen, kicked the few straggling slaves out and began getting out bowls and ingredients.

They actually knocked their foreheads together, and started giggling on the floor without restraint. Man, that was a good one. Then they blinked and followed Zahara into the kitchen.
"Are going to try some of Bod'es recipies? Cause while they are rather delicious, I don't think we could recreate anything she can do."
Jell's eyes got big and he held his hands to his cheek. "That girl is a goddess of cooking."
"Everything she makes melts in your mouth."
"Or melts your mouth, depending on what spices she used."
"Remeber the jalapinio and pepper dish?"
both were whiping drool from their chins with their sleeves.

She turned and raised an eyebrow glancing at them for a moment. But then it made sense. They would like Bode's cooking. Anything that tried to make their stomach explode would be right up their alley. "Well, I've been told I"m pretty good at cooking myself. Why don't we see if I can measure up to the young goddess?" She mentally flipped through the recipes in her mind and got out teh bowl cracking three eggs into it. Then she spooned the flour into a measuring cup and chocolate into another one and set the cups in front of the imps. "Alright you two. We're going to play a new game called follow my directions. I'm goign to tell you what to do and if you do it right you get to go to the next level where I'll give you another job. If you mess it up, you're out. Whoever is still in at the end wins. Got it?" She crossed her arms and held the bowl steady. "Juan, you're first task is.." a moment's pause being all dramatic. "to dump the chocolate into the bowl and not get any of it on the counter, you or anyting else. Every drop goes in the bowl."

The imps blinked at their precious flower a moment, then looked at the cooking utenslils. Why did this feel like some sort of trick?
"Are...are you sure that's how it's supposed to work? Shouldn't be be....you know....tossing thechocolate over everything possible?"
"Maybe eat the eggs whole...and shelled?"
"Yeah...this sounds rather....meticulious." The raised their eyebrows at her.

She should have known. She glanced at the two suspicious faces in front of her and then shook her head and pouted. "But I really want to play this game. It will be fun and.." she paused for a moment searching for something they might want, then grinned. "If you play with me, I'll give you each a kiss and you can have some of the cake when it's done. Besides after this cake I want to make another one and we'll change the rules to the game then. Okay?" Malik was going to kill her and she briefly wondered if Sevilin was still in teh dining room listening to this whole thing. "It will make Star Flower immensely happy if you play..." she added.

"Happy?"
"Kiss?"
The cup Jaun was holding was suddenly empty, not a speck of chocolate on it anywhere, except in the bowl of coruse. In a flash, he ahd transfered every last drop into the bowl without getting ti anywhre else. "Like that?"
Jell waved his hand, jumping. "Me next! Me next!"

"Juan you get to move onto the next level. Jell, you're task is the same with the flower, dump it into the bowl and don't get it on anything else." She was shocked. Absolutely shocked. The imps actually could be neat and orderly. She was definitely going to let them make their own cake next. It should be a good thing. She picked up three eggs and walked over, "And next both of you will have to crack one egg into the bowl without getting any shell inside the bowl or any part of the egg outside it." Yep these tasks were going to get slightly harder.

Jell did his task, nothing special there, beaming.
Jaun kind of looked at the eggs, lifting a brow. they had only ever thrown eggs before...didn't mother used to do crafts with them or something? Oh wait....he remebered now! Jaun winked at his brother, who followed Jaun's lead. The poked a little hole into each end of the egg with their nail's or er...claws if you'd prefer. then, putting the egg over the bowl, and their lips over the other end, they blew until all of the inside of the egg was forced out into the bowl. No mess.
Jell giggled. "Egg blowing, it's like a sport."

Not exactly what she had in mind, but hey, it worked. At least they hadn't made a mess. She deftly cracked the other and dropped the yolk into the bowl to join the other two and then tossed the shell into the trash. "Good job you two, you both move on to the next level." Oil and milk came next. She got both bottles out and the proper measuring cups. "Now this level is one of the most difficult. Most never make it pass this one," she warned solemnly. "I need a cup of milk and one of oil. You each have to pour only one cup into the bowl still without making a single mess. Think you two can handle that? Here's your measuring cups, the line you need is right here." She pointed it out to both of them and then waited. "Juan you've got milk. Jell you are oil." she added so they didn't fight.

"But I wanted the milk!" Said Jell.
"And I wanted the oil!" Replied Jaun. S,miling, they switched.
And poored.....messured, tossed into the bowl. "This is a pretty simple game, Star Flower...."

"And who said games had to be complex boys? I found it pretty simple to toss china into the air and throw rocks at it too but it was fun. Simple can be fun too." She really wanted to jump for joy when not only did they merely switch ingredients without fighting but they actually poured the correct amount into the bowl and did not spill a single drop. Thank Lloth for small favors. She picked up a spoon and handed it to Juan. "You get to stir. Make sure it's all mixed up really, really well and there aren't any more chunks in it. Okay?" Then she picked up the sugar and looked at Jell, "And while he stirs you need to pour three cups of sugar in slowly. Let him get all that mixed in and then pour more but you have to go slowly or your task won't be done right. And as usual no messiness outside the bowl. Go ahead guys." Meanwhile she would grease up the pan adn get it ready for the oven. So she found herself a decent cake pan and used the oil to grease it up right so it wouldn't stick and be a b***h to get out.

"It's much more fun the smash things..."
"It sounds all tinkly. This just kinda sounds...grindy."
They sighed. Oh well...for now they would play along. The next step was harder for them, sicne slow wasn't really their best quality. Jell's hands were shaking from trying to keep the sugar pouring in slowly, but steadily. And Jaun had to fight with himself to not stir like crazy and flix mix everywhere.
Almost sweating, and panting, they completed their little mission. "All done, Mistress Star Flower."
