A Return

[Anastasia]

GULP!

Vayley's jaw distends as her mouth expands massively, swallowing the cow in one huge gulp. Not even a bulge going down her throat. "Mmmm....beef." The slaad licks her currently human lips. "I only have one question: what about cheese? There's cheese here, right? Oh, and onions and carrots and peppers. Oh, and lead dipped loaves of bread, those are good too."

Amaryl watches on calmly, "Oh, and if you can eat like a normal human, that would be lovely."

[Corwin]

"Actually, Amaryl might be onto something here. Eating that much cow as a human would take quite a bit longer, allowing the enjoyment of the food and process of eating to extend. Something to keep in mind." To answer the actual question, Seira responds with, "As head maid, part of your duties would be to choose the dishes under most circumstances. Therefore, if we don't have a rare ingredient at home, we could take action to secure it."

[Anastasia]

"I accept," Vayley agrees right away, "On one condition."

[Corwin]

"Which is?" Seira asks pleasantly.

[Anastasia]

"You show me your secret treasure," Vayley says, "All deities have one."

[Corwin]

"Of course," Seira agrees right away, gesturing at Amaryl.

[Anastasia]

Amaryl smiles and blushes, "Seira," she murmurs, taking your hand in hers.

Vayley sniffs in Amaryl's direction, "Then I accept." Licking her chops, "I should start planning dinner right away."

[Corwin]

"Excellent! Say hello to Donald as you settle in, and I'll prepare a list for you later that I expect you to turn into a proper itinerary for me, Vayley. Welcome aboard~"

[Anastasia]

As Vayley comes in, you hear a voice in your mind.

'Seira,' Waukeen sends to you. 'I believe I need to come visit you. There are things to talk about, as well as a recent faux pas your daughter made. Dearie, is 20 minutes enough preparation time for you?'

[Corwin]

'Twenty minutes is fine,' Seira responds, appraising Amaryl of the situation as she does so. 'Expect a unique culinary experience.'

[Anastasia]

Any prep or good to move along to Waukeen dropping in?

[Corwin]

We're good to move, although Vayley will be told that Waukeen is coming for dinner.

[Anastasia]

As Vayley gets to cooking?

Waukeen arrives in a golden carriage, pulled by teams of snow white horses. She proceeds in, attracting attention as she descends down to your palace and...

Goa head and set up.

[Corwin]

A rush of daffodils twist in mid-air to form a path for Waukeen's carriage, spiraling all the way to the lake of lava before Seira's gingerbread palace! To its sides, winged serpent sculptures rise, forming fountains that shower the carriage with golden coins as it passes.

At the end of the woven path, Seira and Amaryl await. This is a private business, so Seira's decided to forego the formulaic parts of the formal reception while keeping the fun ones.

[Anastasia]

Waukeen emerges, every inch the merchant queen. She wears a dress of white and gold, walking forward, "Seira, Amaryl, good to see you. Let's go inside," she says right away.
