Fourth floor common room: Thursday morning [before workshops]

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

It was Thursday morning. It was Karal's last day of classes. He'd woken up early, as per usual, and for some reason he thought it would be a good idea to attempt breakfast.

Karal had never cooked before. Ever. But there were eggs in the fridge, and milk, and cheese. A further rummage turned up bacon, onions and some mushrooms, and, well, a lot of other things he didn't recognise. He left those where they were.

"I think I can make an omelette from these," he told Altra, who was perched on a chair, watching him. "I am fairly certain I know what one is."

:This will end well,: the 'cat drawled, shaking his head.

"No, I am sure I know what it is. Eggs and other things, all cooked up together." He surveyed the ingredients and nodded firmly, pulling out a frying pan. "It cannot be that difficult."

Altra facepawed. Luckily there was coffee already brewed, which Karal did know how to make.

Oops. Setsuna drew in a slight breath. Yeah, that just about covered it. Oops.

"No. I wasn't..."

She didn't feel it necessary to mention Mazikeen. She still had difficulty, though, in convincing herself that what happened to Mazikeen because of the burning was still better than what was happening to Mazikeen before the burning...

"Are you all right though?" Gavin asked, frowning.

Setsuna nodded. "It's a thing of the past, really. The Nest was rebuilt, is nearly the same as it ever was, and hardly anyone even remembers that it had a period where it was nothing but ash."

"Good," he said, nodding once. "Does the Devil's Nest serve different colored drinks?"

He remembered those drinks from Caritas. Evil drinks.

Setsuna allowed a small smile to break at that. "Yes; my roommate has actually gotten me into the habit of mixing various very bright but nonalcoholic ones. I bartend there on the weekend, and, unlike Caritas, the Devil's Nest won't serve alcohol to minors. I believe Lucifer, the owner, prefers a more mature patronage."

"Oh, that's good," he said, smiling. "I tried those colored drinks and felt awful the next morning. Like someone fed me to a rancor."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"Hangover," Setsuna said with a knowledgeable nod. "At least, I assume. I'm afraid I don't know what it feels like to be fed to a rancor, but I can assume it isn't pleasant."

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Hangover," he repeated. "And no, it's not. I haven't either but I've heard stories and I've made a vow not to drink colored drinks again."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"Well, don't disavow all coloured drinks so quickly," Setsuna said lightly. "It's the alcohol you have to worry about, so if you get them nonalcoholic, they're really quite good."

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Do you have any recommendations?" Gavin asked.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Setsuna shrugged. "I know Ami-chan's really fond of fruity drinks, like strawberry and fruit punch, and virgin margaritas can be really good if made just right. If you're not busy this weekend, you can stop by the Nest and I'll let you try one on the house."

"I might do that," Gavin answered. "I haven't been there yet and I'd like to see all I can."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"I look forward to seeing you there, then," Setsuna said with a nod. "And hope that it really was the alcohol and not some bizarre allergy to colourful drinks."

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"I hope so too," he said and grimaced. "I'd hate to not be able to drink some of the good drinks."
