"Well, how was I suppose to know it would smell like that?" She said before she could stop herself. She gave a half squeak when her cousin question her, she shuffled her hoof on the stool a little before jumping down and walking about the counter. "I am allowed in the kitchen!" Regardless of what her brother said, she was allowed in the kitchen.
She sighed, pouting a little, might aswell be honest with Ikebana, and maybe he won't tell her mama she kept a customer waiting. "But, yah...I was suppose to be out here..."

"I... thought that might be the case," replied Ikebana with a little wave of his hoof, as if trying to show that it was all water under the bridge.
"Anyway, why don't you put up a bell on the door? That way you can hear in the kitchen and you can keep making -- making --" Ikebana paused, considering. He never smelled anything that smelled like that. "What are you making, anyway?"

"There is a bell on the door" She pointed it out. "I just didn't hear it..."
Barley tilted her head and smiled brightly at the other's curiosity of her drink-in-the-making. She gave a suspiciously look from side to side before leaning in. "Beer!"

"Oh..." said Ikebana, turning around to look at the bell he had missed on the door. Then he looked back over at his cousin, just as she was leaning in and divulging her secret. He felt stunned for a moment, blinking his bright eyes. More than anything, he was shocked one could actually make beer. He knew of it, of course, and he knew that it must be made somewhere, he just didn't expect somewhere to be in his aunt's house, by his cousin!
Then, of course, came another realization. A strange realization.
He wanted to try it.
"That -- that is amazing!" Ikebana said. He lifted one hoof, rubbing his chin. "Say... I don't suppose... I don't know if there'll be enough gold bits left over after I pay for my mother's cake, but if there is, do you think I might be able to buy a... a taste?"

Barley nearly vibrated in place with excitement that someone wanted to try one of her drinks before she even herself got a test taste. She took a deep breath to calm herself and gave a little laugh. "I would love to take your last bits, cousin, but the beer the book I got says it won't be drinkable for another few weeks."
She gave a light smirk. "Maybe by then you'll be able to buy more then a taste with your own bits then your mama's." She gave with a teasing voice, having no actual plans to make Ikebana pay to try her beer. While she was the guine pig of almost all her drink concoctions, it was always nice to have a second opinion.

Ikebana's eyes rounded as Barley explained the time table for the beer, but all he could do was nod. Then, as she teased him about the gold bits -- which he had to admit, none of which were gleaned from his burgeoning business -- he could only laugh sheepishly. "You're right," admitted Ikebana with a shake of his head. "We'll do it the right way -- I'll buy your beer with my own money when it's good and finished. And you make sure you keep an eye on the store in the meanwhile."

A bit of blush appeared on her cheeks when reminded of the duty she had neglected. She quickly recuperated and started to walk back to the other side of the counter. "Right, that's what we'll do. Now, if ya'll follow me, I'll pack up yer cake. The books says mama made it, so it should be in the fridge."
