Welcome to Gaia! ::

As she spoke of someone to train her and began to tell her tale Surtr just listened standing before her with one hand on his chin and the other under wrapped around his chest. "Well if you'd like I could teach you...." Surtr said with a smile looking to her offering her his services. "I'll just need to know exactly what you are looking for and we can begin." He said nonchalantly with a shrug as if what he had just proposed was of little consequence.

He walked over to the cauldron and took another whiff before letting a satisfied sigh escape his lips. "Soups done.... care for a bowl?" He inquired looking back to her as he dipped two bowls in set one on his desk offering it to her. The black and white grains were salt and pepper used to add flavor. Surtr in his free time loved to cook and he was brewing up this soup for several hours allowing it to cook slowly so that all the flavors would permeate the vegetables and meats within in. Surtr blew on the soup to cool it before dunking his spoon in and eating. "We can begin after we eat. I imagine you'll need your strength." He said between gulps exhaling trying to cool the soup in his mouth a bit to keep from burning his tongue. An unorthodox man to be sure but a potential teacher was nothing to pass up, especially when that teacher was supposedly the archmage.
