Third floor common room, Saturday morning

[giveherahand]

Mara was up and had already run, dressed, and showered like some kind of hugely productive person. She decided to reward such high class adulting by treating herself to pancakes, which she had a vague idea how to make.

She pulled flour, eggs, milk, and baking powder (or maybe soda, was there a difference?) from various cubbies, started to heat up a pan and got to work.

Mmm, pancake-like food.

[OOC: Weetiny weekend means someone has to make pancakes. It's a rule.\

Naishe was hungry, so she followed her nose to the smelling of cooking.

She paused in the doorway and studied Mara, trying to decide if tying sad eyes at her would work or if she should just help herself while the older girl's back was turned.

[giveherahand]

Mara glanced up from her stirring. "Are you lost?" she asked, arching up an eyebrow.

[good_for_six]

Definitely not one for sad eyes, Naishe decided.

"No," she said. "I'm exactly where I want to be." Near the food, which would be hers one way or another.

[giveherahand]

Mara smirked. "Would you like a pancake?"

[good_for_six]

Oh, sure, ruin her would-have-been-brilliant plans to steal some, Mara.

"If you're offering." Because she wasn't going to turn down free food for the sake of those ruined plans.

[giveherahand]

"I am," Mara said, "but you have to see if there's any syrup or fruit or something in the fridge over there to put on top of them."

[good_for_six]

Naishe wasn't sure what a fridge was, but since she could recognise the pantry and cupboards, it was probably the white box.

Huh, it was cold, she started looking for the frost runes enchanting it. Maybe she could pry them out and Hari could sell them.

[giveherahand]

Mara watched her closely as the pancake in the pan got a little too brown. "Find it?"

[good_for_six]

"No," Naishe replied as she pulled a container of some kind of berries out of the box. It was like the universe was conspiring against her.

[giveherahand]

"Berries are good too," Mara said with a smile. "You can eat those while the pancakes finish."

[good_for_six]

The berries were good, but frost runes were worth good coin.

"I think they're burning," Naishe said around a mouthful of berries.

[giveherahand]

Mara made a face and scraped the burned pancake into the trash. "Don't tell anyone, but I'm not very good at cooking."

[good_for_six]

Naishe weighed the desire to make a smart comment against the risk of losing out on pancakes, even not very good ones. "I won't."

[giveherahand]

Mara grinned. "Thank you. I'm Mara."

[good_for_six]

Naishe stuck a few more berries in her mouth. "Naishe."

[giveherahand]

"That's a pretty name," Mara said. "Where are you from?"

[good_for_six]

"Rivain," Naishe replied with a shrug. "You Fereldan?" They were supposed to be pretty pale.

[giveherahand]

"Coruscanti," Mara said, shaking her head. "Well, Imperial Center now."

[good_for_six]

"That near Tevinter?" Andraste fighting the Imperium was the only part of the Chant Naishe had ever bothered to paid attention to.

[giveherahand]

"I don't think so," Mara said with a light frown. "But there's a lot of the galaxy I still need to learn."

[good_for_six]

"Tevinter's a country."

What did stars have to do with it? Didn't Mara know anything?

[giveherahand]

"Then that's definitely why I didn't know it," Mara said. "What's it like there?"

[good_for_six]

Naishe shrugged, never having been there. "Doubt it's good, they have slaves there." That was enough to make it terrible a far she was concerned.

[giveherahand]

Mara nodded. "Slavery's around in a lot of places."

Oh, Mara. It's not a GOOD thing.

[good_for_six]

"Terrible places." Naishe had already developed a very flexible sense of morals, but that was one thing she knew was wrong.

[giveherahand]

"Some of them are," Mara agreed, nodding.

[good_for_six]

"All of them." Naishe wasn't going to budge on this.

[giveherahand]

"Have you been to all of them?" Mara asked.
