Relena glared at Silfer as the dragon smiled at her innocently, "Back off before I make you!" The dragon snorted in disbelif as its rider when off in the direction of the kitchen.
Relena entered the kitchen to see Ryu starting to cook, "Can I help?"

Ryu opened his bag and pulled out a peeler. "Think you can shave a few potatoes?" Ryu asked tossing the peeler to her. "Peel the brown edges off of five potatoes." Relena rubbed the peeler against the side of the potato and saw how smoothly it cut the brown skin right off the spud reveling its baige colored insides. Ryu kicked a bowl over to Relena, to give her something to pu the potatoes in. Ryu grabbed himself an onion and began to chop it up into fine pieces. "You almost finished peeling?" Ryu asked. "Almost." Relena said, still working on her third potato. Ryu huffed, and walked behind relena. "Here, let me help." He reached around and grabbed her wrists, but not too tightly. He began to move her hands and peel the potato twice as fast as Relena was going before. "It's okay to go a little fast, its just potato skin, we're not eatting those parts." He said as the potato finished being peeling and put in the bowl. "Now peel two more potatoes." Ryu said as he began to cut the shaved potatoes in the bowl into shreds.

Relena peeled the other two potatoes with ease now that she had been shown. Whenever potatoes had been used back on the farm they were just chopped up skins and all and thrown into a pot. She was extremely curious to see what he has planned for cooking if she was asked to do this with a potatoe. She walked over with the bowl full of peel potatoes, one standing out amongst the rest, "Finished. Where do you want this?"

Ryu finished slicing a potato to shreds and grabbed one of the potaotoes out of Relena's hand and began to quickly shred it into tiny pieces. After he finished he grabbed the last potato out of relena's hand and shredded it up too. "Follow me. Ryu walked over to the river side and put the bowl in quickly and pulled it out, the bowl was now full of potatoes, onions, and water. "Could you go to my bag and get me a strain?" Relena walked over to the bag and pulled out a wirey device. "That's a wisk, I said a strainer.... uh... get me the bowl full of hole and a handle." Ryu said, decided to skip using terminology. Relena dug through a little but found the strainer and gave it to Ryu. "Good." Ryu poured the bowl's contents intot he strainer and made sure the water was all out. Ryu walked over to the counter and rolled out a towel. HE dumped the potatoes onto half of the towel and fliped the other half of the towel over onto the potatoes. "Okay, now I want you to GENTLY pat the potatoes so they dry." As Relena causiously patted the potatoes, Ryu grabbed a skillet from his bag and a spatula, a mit, two small shakers, and a small jar. Ryu started a fire on his burner he left out the other day and laid down his skillet. "Now I add butter, so the food doesn't stick." Ryu opened the jar the scooped out some butter onto his fingers and quickly smeared it across the heated skillet. "Okay, bring over the potatoes." Ryu called out to Relena.

Relena did as told as she brought over the potatoes, "Here you go."
She looked down at the skillet and back up to Ryu with a curious look, "What are you making?"

"I said it earlier. I'm making hash browns." Ryu said as he poured the potatoes and onions into the skillet. They intently began to sizzle. Ryu grabbed his two shakers and seasoned the mix with a little bit of salt and pepper. He grabbed the pan handle. "Step back." Ryu told Relena. Relena took two steps backwards and Ryu flipped the contents of the pan up and it landed back in the pan upside-down. "Go get some plates...er.... please." Ryu added noticing his rudeness.

Relena picked up a few plates and moved over to the Ryu as he did another flip with the skillet, "Please don't think to much on it Ryu. Brom has a reason for doing everything, most of time it is some test he doing that you don't know about...and slifer...please just give her time. You two didn't really start off well."
Relena placed the plates next to Ryu and smiled up at him, "Besides I am the only one to impress and befriend because I have both of those two wrapped my finger." She stuck her tongue at Ryu and winked at him.

Ryu felt uneasy about Relena's last action, but decided it was best to strug it off as nothing. "Yeah, that's.... nice. Here's breakfest." Ryu cut the hashbrowns up into fourths and slid them on the the plates and took one for him self.

Relena flopped down on the chair and began to eat her hash brown in silence. Her attempt to make Ryu feel better failed terribly! She felt so sorry for him and wish there was something she could do for him. Silfer feared him because he was indeed a major threat to not just her but the elves as well. Brom, because of this, was harsh on him trying desperately to train and get him on his feet so he wouldn't be a threat. Relena suddenly wonder if he didn't met qualifications what would happen to him. Relena shook her head when she remember the alternative. It was purely accidental that he fell into this and because of it he either dies or is force into slavery practically.
She looked down at the crumbs in her hands and signed. Even if the elves erased him memories the king could easily pry them back up and take the knowledge for himself. Relena looked up to him knowing the only differences was that she had a dragon. If she didn't have one she would be in the same shoes as him and probably wouldn't be takening it well either. She watched him eat his hash brown before looking away once more. She was simple farm girl but he was someone with so much more promise than her. It was people like her that should be in his position not him.
Relena looked at all of the objects on the shelves, only two really looked familiar to her. She suddenly felt really stupid. An education had never been really her strong point for her growing up. Farming never required one. She remember Brom teaching her to train with the sword and noticed that she really hadn't improved much. Brom had always held back on her greatly and her sister always took her out in practice. Perhaps it was it her morals and ways that kept her bound to such a low level in the world. Why was she considered so important when Ryu had was so much better. Hell she was sure that one day of training with Brom and he could easily take her out.
Relena looked up to Ryu, "Ryu?" She watched him left his head and stared at her oddly, "Do you honestly want to leave this place? What do you want....don't say what others want or how it will effect others...what do you want!?" She had made a choice and she knew it wasn't going to settle well if she was to go through with it. There was one thing she did know however, she and the elves were no better than the king for what they were doing and she rather risk everything than be compared to the king for one second!

"I am a simple cook. I made food. That is all I was raised and taught to do. To travel the world and learn from the culinary masters and become the best damn cook there is... that's what I want..... and to get a new family title... but since what I know is food... I'll have to go with my guts." Ryu said rather flatly, Not once taking his attention away from his hashbrowns. He suddenly sat up and looked to the doorway. "Hey big Dude! Get your breakfest before it goes cold!" Ryu shouted at Brom.

Relena frowned. That was not what she wanted to hear. She rushed infront of the door and slamed it shut in the approaching Brom face. The of course did not go well and soon pounding from the other side came. She turned back to Ryu pressing her body against the door to keep it closed.
"Simple yes or no," started Relena, "Do you want to leave this place or do you want to stay here and be slave, never able to leave, and still posible be killed off."

"What kind of stupid question is that? Of course I want to leave! I thought I made that clear when I agreed to become your cook." Ryu stated snidely.

Relena nodded and grab on of the Ryu arms before dragging him over the bridge and too end of the garden, "That is all I need hear!"
She stopped shorted of the hole that acted alike that sun window for the garden. A small set of stair wrapped it way down the back of the treehouse before connecting with a bridges that connected the various trees together for travel. She turned to Ryu, "Follow me...I am getting you out of here!"
Luckily she did have one good quality and it was she didn't need to be told something twice or see it twice. She already knew the maze of bridges and stair and new the most quiet path out of the city. She only prayed it was still as quiet as she remember. She took off down the stairs and acrossed the bridge before looking up at Ryu, "Come on!"
"What are you doing?"
"A walk...private walk...now leave me alone," snapped Relena. She knew it was harsh but she had to be. If silfer found out she would get Brom and she knew that when she was mad her dragon gave her room and privacy which was she need to get Ryu out of the city.

Relena continue to lead Ryu toward to the outskirts of the city, "I am getting you out of here, giving you life and freedom back."
