The Giggling Pear! [Retired FW 09]

[The Queen Lana]

Lana shuffled timidly towards doors, and away from the center of the kitchen, she looked behind her at the hectic kitchen and the smell of cooking.

She had no home, she didn't know how she got in this castle, and her master was gone. But she was to go find her master. As that is what house elves do. 'Goodbyes' She whispered. And left the kitchen.

Rose makes her way into the kitchen for what might very well be her last few days in. She has just filled out her Sorting Test and is very anxious for the results. "I will miss everyone though," she mumbled to herself as she got to work washing dishes and cleaning. "but I can always come back to visit," she smiled to herself.  

[Lady Enoimerah]

The house elf named: Ianto (pronounced Yanto)

Ianto nodded to the other elf, a little startled at the direct look she sent him before she scurried off to her own tasks. Perhaps things would not be too bad after all?

Following her advice, Ianto wandered over to several elves who seemed to be making deserts. He watched for a minute as they effortlessly moved around each other, each of them absorbed in their own tasks. No, things would not be so bad but it would certainly take some getting used to.

Not wanting to interrupt the others, Ianto decided to make one of his late Masters favorite desserts; Empire Biscuits. For the first time since entering the kitchens, Ianto took a moment to glance around the actual room itself. He blinked in awe as he took in the high ceilings, the rows upon rows of hooks lining the walls that held everything from pots and pans to the many utensils one might need.

Feeling a little overwhelmed once more, he decided the best way to start would be to gather the equipment he would need. Grabbing a large bowl and spoon, he found an empty area on the long table the other elves were working on and set the two items down before turning to find the other items he would need. He grabbed several cooking sheets, knowing there were many students above them and he would need to make several batches of the sweet treat.

Ianto continued collecting items, balancing them seemingly precariously upon the tray which was now settled on his head, allowing his hands free reign. His earlier unease had all but left him as he was left in his zone. Cooking had always been one of his favorite tasks and he found himself forgetting where he was, completely absorbed in the project before him.

He hummed softly to himself as he prepared the ingredients, mixing everything in the large bowl before folding the dough out onto the table surface. He smiled slightly as he began rolling and cutting each cookie, setting them one by one on the trays he'd laid out. Once all the dough had been used, he set both trays in the oven to cook and turned to repeat the process, starting on the second batch. It wasn't long before he found himself completely absorbed in the task before him, suddenly appearing to blend in and fit just as the other elves around him. Ianto didn't even notice.

...is being at your service.

((OOC: Empire Biscuits are a real scottish treat and if anyone's curious I'd love to share the recipe. They're very tasty!))

Elf Daisy enters the kitchen after being gently pushed through the doors by one of the castles mistresses. Daisy looks around the room at the other busy house elves and looks to seek someone for instructions.

Seeing no one Elf Daisy picks up a broom and begins to sweep up some of the things dropped by other elves and watches other elves work.
