"You think to teach rily across his chest
"No, Master Kiasz," I bowed respectfully to hirenovations, so he instructedonly the best fro as I could
"Don’t get in my way," Kiasz snarled and moved aside I made preparations to make the slow-cooked rib roast I watched it carefully too, throughout the day, beginning vegetable preparations when it calared triumphantly at me when Arvil ordered his midday meal from Kiasz directly It mattered not to me I just didn’t want the po Silently I thanked Aurelius for taking away the need to visit the facilities
I’d gauged Arvil’s evening meal very closely, and the plates of food were served at a long table inside the kitchen, just as it had been the night before Xiri had cos went The tender rib roast was served with sauce, buttered squash and longbeans with a leafy salad after Dessert was oxberry puff tarts--I had no idea how they’d gotten oxberries but I wasn’t going to argue Xiri accepted his plate with a huge s that this wouldn’t turn into another episode like the one I’d experienced with Master Cook Wyn
"The sauce is incredible," Xiri didn’t waste ti his opinion Kiasz had a frown on his face as he ate--that is until he tasted the dessert

"That’s why his father turned him out; he was the runt of the litter," cruel-mouthed wizard pointed toward me with his fork
"As you say," I ducked my head I learned then that Master Cook Kiasz had no love for that particular wizard--he began to treat me well from that moment on Xiri, too, wanted to learn what he could frolasses filled and handed out a second round of desserts to all of thehtly drunk when they rose from the table to leave "Re, be in the kitchen at --my contractor wishes to speak to the cook about where everything should go And another o amiss Inform Delvin, here, if it will be from this kitchen or the one in my home" Arvil walked out, followed by all the others except Delvin, who handed ates and allow you to purchase ss such as treats and haircuts," Delvin informedto do so I nodded--he was telling"I’ll be in the kitchen to, so you can let me know then what you want to do" Delvin walked out after the others
"I will clean this up," I sighed in Xiri’s direction and went to stack plates on the long table
Xiri shouted at soht help, who came quickly to do it for me Kiasz patted my shoulder and left--he was just as weary as I was and looking for his bed I left right after he did--I wanted a shower to clear away the smells of the kitchen I also took the last bit of the roast with ave me a bottle of wine to take with me
"That smells delicious" A man spoke to me as I rode up the elevator to
"There’s enough for two--are you hungry?" I lifted the bottle of wine Ilike that, but I didn’t feel anything bad fro a ht away
"You cooked this?" The man was astounded over that fact "The wine is perfect with it, too"
