It was an early morning Konoe mansion for Sanae, the arrival of Miss Cookstone was something to cause a commotion in the home. The letter stated that she was family, but Sanae had never heard of her. Sanae was peeling potatoes over a garbage bin at the time, her hands were nimble as one sliced quickly precise peels of skin and the other timed perfectly the tunring motion. She never once cut herself, even though she was reading a cookbook laying on the table throughout every cut. Her pile of potatoes was steadily sinking, as the pile of skinned and slice potatoes formed on the butcher-block inlet of her island.
The kitchen was gorgeous, only the best at the mansion. Sanae fell in love the moment her eyes fell on it, and soon became the master chef. She placed her knife on the black granite counter-tops, and wiped her forehead.
It's almost time for breakfast, William should be arriving soon with The Young Miss' request...
She scooped up the slices and plopped them into a large bowl pull of water, and picked up her cookbook. She never took her eyes off the page as she navigated the gorgeous all wood cabinets. She grabbed spices and bowls, pots and pans hanging from the rack clinging to the ceiling.
She finally set the book down, next to folded cloth, with a fish tale sticking out. She went to the fish market early this morning to pick the perfect fish to serve to the Masters. She watched the door for William as she unwrapped the fish and layed them out. She grabbed a boning knife and began scaling them.

"Well Then, I Should Take My Leave. Mizuki-sama" William Bowed as He Turned his Back and Made His Way Outside the Room.

He Walked Down The Stairs to Head To The Kitchen. When He Arrived at the kitchen, He Saw Sanae, who was Scaling The Fish.
"Good Day, Sanae."William walked near to her then He Smiled.

He Prepared His Masters Meal Very Fast, After That, He Moved to Sanae.

"Even Though You're Working for This Mansion for Years, Nobody's Perfect, Right? You Can Always Accidentally Get your Finger Cut. I Should Help You. And Also, I Had Finished Preparing her Breakfast."He Smiled at her as he Held her Hand from The Back.

Sanae watched as William entered, and dropped her face to her work when he did. She always felt a little clumsier when he was around. Something about him...his gate, his grace, his dedication to the young Miss...she had admired him since they day he found her and her sister wandering in the forest.
She slipped and sliced the tip of her finger just lightly. She winced and popper her finger in her mouth, looking up at William as he approached her. She couldn't help but smile, she hoped the young Miss liked the croissant. They were still warm in the oven, and William had plated it perfectly.
"Thank you," she said washing her finger, and wrapping it in a thin strip of cloth. Sanae looked up to see Yoki peeking around the corner and picked up a wet towel and chucked it in the direction of the doorway, smacking her right in the face as she peeked around again.
"Yoki, we have a lot to do, stop fooling around."
She looked to William and asked, "Would you like to have a cup of tea, I have a little time. It could be ready by the time you get back. I want to run tonights menu by you."

The wet towel smacked Yoki in the face, messing up her hair. It sluffed off and onto the ground, and she made a face as she spat out some dishwater.
"That's not nice Sanae!" she cried, "William make her stop!!!" She made a crying motion with her hands.
"Yoki, we have a lot to do, stop fooling around, "her sister scolded, and Yoki reluctantly became serious. Sanae handed her a neatly handwritten list of things she needed for their guests dinner party tonight. Good China... Thorough cleaning of the first floor dining room...fresh flowers from the garden... she tucked the list into her pocket and grabbed her bucket of cleaning supplies, making her way down to the first floor to begin her cleaning.
"Bye sis, Bye Willaim!" she waved as the kitchen door swung closed behind her.

Sanae rushed over to the tea kettle when it whistled away, signaling that the water was ready. She poured it into pretty little yellow teapot, and brought it over to her little table. It was tucked next to the window, and small. Two chairs sat around it, facing each other and she had a little vase with a fresh rose. She placed the pot on the table and gathered the cups, placing them out with sugar and milk.
There, it shall steep until William arrives.. she sighed a little at the thought of him being close to her. She knew this was just business, approving the dinner arrangements and what-not but she enjoyed their little meetings. Only when guests arrive was the menu cared for so delicately, so he usually left it up to her. This was another reason she was excited Miss Cookstone was arriving.

Sanae dropped two lumps into her tea and a little milk. She sipped it and let its warmth spread through her.

"Sorry if I Took so Long. After Our Tea, Would You Like To Join Me Later for Groceries?"
That would be lovely, she replied touched her list in her pocket.
"Do You Remember The Day When I Found The Two of You In The Forest?, My Scar is Still fresh at That Time Though."
"Yes, you startled little Yoki and I. You are only a couple of years older than me, but you are so much taller," she chuckled, "I'm happy you convinced them to let us stay."
She chuckled to herself, I'm happy I learned how to cook at the monistary...
She tipped the teapot to offer him another cup, smiling she asked, "How is the Young Miss today?"

"Same as I Always Have seen, I Miss The Old Mizuki-sama."William looked at Sanae, Smiling.

William Finished Sipping his Tea.
"Well Then, Shall We Go to The Market?"William said to Sanae while taking off his coat.

"I Might look Weird when i Get outside wearing My Coat."He Smiled.

A While after that, he Wore His Glasses then he Tied his Long, Silver Hair.
"Hmmnn.. Lets See... Tomatoes, Green Tea, Salmon, Carrots, Darjeeling, French Bread. I Think That's All." He Checked The Refrigerator.

Sanae cleaned up the tea as he examined the kitchen. He peeked through her cabinets and refrigerator, she smiled to herself, Luckily I keep things so clean and organized!
Once she had finished cleaning up she unties her apron and draped it over the chair she was just sitting in, leaving her in her blue dress, with a white frilly blouse underneath. Her black maryjane shoes tapped across the tiles as her white stocking legs glided over to her bookshelf. She took one last check of her menu and slid the book up on the shelf with her collection, pushing it in the last bit with her wrapped finger. She tugged on the cloth a bit and tightened it up. She grabbed a white sunhat with blue ribbon and slipped placed it over her silver hair.
"I'm ready when you are," she said with a smile as she gestured toward the door. She waved to Yoki as she and the butler made their way down to the ground floor.

Sanae nodded to William as he hastily left the kitchen. The bags were lined up on the counters and she began stocking the kitchen,
Once everything was in its place she made her way over to a bowl of dough in a covered bowl.
"You should be nice and ready," she said, talking to herself as she placed it in the oven to bake. The lit of her pot started rumbling so she rushed over, a thick plume of steam rising as she removed the top and stirred the soup, adding some seasonings she they had gotten today.
As her soup boiled and her bread baked she once again pulled out the fish and began slicing lemons for her marinade.
She worked hastily, and watched as a strange boy wandered past the kitchen door. She called out to him, "Hello, sir are you looking for something," assuming he had something to do with the mess in the entryway, he must be a guest.
"If it's your stomach leading you here, well I could always use a taste tester, or make you something else."
She wiped her hands on her apron and bowed to him, "My name is Sanae, and I am the Head Cook here."

Hevra spent a while wondering randomly around the mansion, looking for the place where they kept the food. The place was very large however and he didn’t have much luck for a while, since he had no idea about the layout of the building. Then he began to smell something pleasant, something that made his stomach growl in hunger once more. He followed the smell through the maze-like halls of the mansion until he heard a voice.

He looked into the room he had heard the voice asking him if he needed anything. Even though the woman had called him sir, he figured she was talking to him since he didn’t see anyone else around. As he entered the room, he saw the pot on the stove and identified it as the source of the intoxicating smell. The woman then said something about taste testing or making him something. She then said her name was Sanae and identified herself. Hevra remembered the Businessman had called himself a cook whenever he made food at the apartment instead of calling for it. He stood there for a moment, looking her up and down.

“Then you will make me food?” Hevra asked after a moment of looking her over. He wanted to confirm that this Head Cook was the same kind of cook that the Businessman had referred to himself as.

Hevra felt good that he was going to have something made for him. Since he had arrived in this new place with the businessman, he had quickly found that the food here was much better than anything he had ever had in his home country. He quickly went over to where the woman had st the bowl and spoon. He merely nodded at her beverage question. Then picked up the bowl, put his lips to the edge, and began slurping the soup down. Though it burned a little due to its temperature, it tasted as good as any food he had eaten since coming here. He used the spoon to quickly shovel the soup into his mouth. He ate as quickly as he possibly could, as in his experience the faster you ate the less time someone had to take your food from you. However, though he at very quickly, he made sure to waste none of the nourishment and was careful not to spill.

As Hevra was finishing, a few short moments after he had started, he heard the woman ask if it needed anything. As he licked the mostly empty bowl, he thought about the question. It was good, but soup never really tended to fill him up. “Meat.” He answered after he had finished licking the bowl. “It needs meat.” He though for a moment. “Like chicken backs or something.” He stated as he put the empty bowl down and sat the spoon inside it.

Hevra quickly chugged the glass of lemonade that Sanae had sat on the table beside him. Then he watched as she worked at preparing the fish. He listened as she listed off the dishes she was planning on making for dinner. Though he didn’t recognize any of the names and didn’t know what they would be like, he figured that they would probably be as good as the soup. He looked forward to eating them. Then he watched as the woman took sight on a bee that had entered through the window and was flying around the kitchen. He was surprised to see her talk to it, then fling a small sharp object through the air and pin the insect into the wall.

Hevra tensed at seeing this display of ability, which told him that the woman could be very dangerous. He narrowed his eyes, and looked her over once more as his expression became more serious. She seemed so unassuming, yet she was clearly capable of being very dangerous. Hevra did not like dangerous things. He watched as she continued to cook as though nothing had happened.

Hevra did not understand. Was the woman trying to intimidate him? What other reason could she possibly have for going so out of her way to kill a random insect? She hadn’t made any demands of him though and still seemed to be in a pleasant mood. It didn’t make any sense to him. After a few moments of frantic thought, he dismissed the occurrence. Figuring that the people here must have some sort of hatred of bee’s.

Hevra watched her as she looked up at him. He stared back at her. She offered to let him try the dish she was working on when it was done. Then she said something about the Konoe’s and being a family member, then asked him where he came from. He thought for a moment. He vaguely remembered Konoe. The Businessman had given that as the name of who he was going to be staying with.

“I do not know Konoe. I was staying with the Businessman before I came here.” He stopped for a moment, thinking. “…before that I lived far away. The Businessman called it “a shithole of a country”. He was right. I like it better here, it seems much safer.”

Hevra listened to the woman, Sanae, talk about how she and her sister were attacked and forced to flee from where they lived. Though he did not know the meaning of the term “monks” he did remember the feeling he had when his home had been burned, his family killed, and he had been taken to fight for the people who did it to him. He long gotten over that feeling, but he remembered it. He also noted from her demeanor that the woman still dwelt on what happened to her and her sister. Hevra felt something at that realization, but hadn't felt it before so he didn’t know how to respond. So he ignored it.

Then he watched Sanae sit more food in front of him and refill his glass. He quickly scooped the food into his mouth, ignoring the burning sensation that came with it’s temperature. Then he took a few large gulps of the lemonade. “What are monks?” He ask absentmindedly as he sat the not quite empty glass back down.

Hevra listened as Sanae told him the monks were people who had taken care of her and her sister. He didn't really understand most of the story, particularly the part about the woman's sister taking down some of the men in the temple. He hadn't really been exposed to any information on temple's, monks, or even martial arts for that matter. However, he did understand the part about how their family had been killed. Though he thought them lucky to have not been taken to fight for their aggressors like he had.

Then Sanae sat down beside him and finished her story. Telling him that someone named William had found them in the forest and that had led to them working at where they were now. She concluded by asking Hevra if he had any family. At first a scene flashed through his mind, where the solders were trying to brainwash him and the other children into being loyal. Brothers, brothers, brothers! The men and boys had chanted while banging butt's of their rifles against the floor. However, that scene quickly faded. It had taken him little time to figure out that no one in the militia had cared for him, nor were any of them his brothers. Beyond that, he knew that his parents and siblings were all dead. He had seen that happen with his own eyes.

"No." He responded to the question after a short pause. Though there was no hint of sadness in his voice or features. Not having a family no longer mattered to him.

Yoki collected all the pieces from the floor and placed them in her basket, hanging it on her arm she made her way up the stiars, wiing the droplets of blood from the floor as she passed them. The basket was heavy from all the stone pieces but she heaved it all the way to William's bedroom. Slowly turning the knob she wiped her shoes before entering, and heaved the basket up onto his desk. She sat for a moment to wipe her brow, then hastily exited the room pulling the door to a click behind her.

Her arms and legs hurt from running up and down the stairs, and carrying the heavy pieces. Shaking them out she entered the kitchen on the third floor in search of Sanae
"Onee-san," she grumbled, "My arms are sor-"
She stopped to see her sister sitting with the boy from earlier, and bowed, "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to intrude!"

Sadness welled up inside Sanae, hearing that this boy was alone, and she sensed that he was troubled. She thought for a moment and stood, pulling the tea kettle off the warmer and bringing it over to the table, "It's always good to wash down a filling meal with some nice hot tea," she smiled as she poured him a cup and removed the lit from her bowl of sugar.
"I am not much for sentimental conversations myself, but you are always welcome at this table. I know it's not as glamorous as the Dining Table, or the Tea Room," she tenderly brushed some crumbs to the floor, "but there will always be delicious food and tea for you if you ever just want to get away. The Konoe's don't ever come in the kitchen really, so this is my private little spot."
She sat, gazing out the window and dropping three lumps into her tea, "And I am always willing to listen if you just need to vent."

She heard as Yoki walked in the kitchen, apologizing for interrupting their tea. She could tell by how Yoki slouched that she had a long day so far, and waved her over. She stood to let Yoki take her seat, "Here Yoki, rest for a minute with some tea."

She turned to Hevra, "Do you mid if she sits here with you for a moment?"

Hevra quickly downed the tea quickly once Sanae had sat it beside him. He didn't much understand why the woman had made the offer for him to return whenever he wanted, but liked that he now knew where he could get food whenever he needed it. The woman also said something about a vent, which he didn't understand much. Still he cared little as long as he was able to eat.

Then the girl with the frilly dress from before entered the room and started to say something before stopping when she looked at Hevra. She did another one of her bows, the purpose to which Hevra still wondered, then she apologized for intruding. Hevra stared at her, trying to figure out why someone would apologize for entering a room. Then Sanae told the girl to sit down so she could give the girl some tea, immediately following up by asking Hevra if he minded the girl sitting beside with him. Hevra didn't care, he was now full and didn't have to worry about the girl stealing his food or anything.

"Don't care." Hevra replied flatly.

The girl paused, smacking her forehead momentarily. "Again!? Am I really this unorganized today?" Iravey sighed, placing her hand on her forehead. "He's got something else to do, I'd best not bother him either. Well, if that's the case...." She put her finger to her lip, then glanced down at the soccer ball against her hip. She smiled faintly, then made her way to the kitchen. She had already made it up to the third floor, and decided to get a bottle of water and maybe a bun.

However, upon entering, everyone seemed to be in here. She sighed, irritably pressed three fingers to her forehead, and then stepped lightly over a bucket, skirting across the table without making eye contact with anyone, and then grabbed what she wanted out of the fridge. "Hey again." She mumbled to the others within the room before quickly escaping.

I should probably get out and go make those orders.... The fem bit into the bread, a thoughtful expression on her facials.

Hevra watched as the woman who had collided into him before entered the room. He was confused at the reaction she gave when she saw him and the others, but he had little time to observe her further. She moved through the room quickly, opening the place where the food was held and take a few items out of it. Then she moved equally as fast out of the room, saying something under her breath that Hevra did not catch. As the door closed, he returned his attention back to Sanae. Who was still working to prepare more food.

Hevra watched Sanae work about the kitchen, wondering what the purpose might be at the actions she took. Though his thoughts were interrupted when the girl who had taken a seat near him quickly hopped up and went over to the counter where the woman was working. Hevra did not get up, despite the girl's excited attitude. He was full from the food he had eaten a sort while earlier, and did not plan on having any more for a while. Overeating could make you sluggish and also be painful, as he had discovered soon after begging his stay with the Businessman. Those side effects could hamper his ability to survive a confrontation, on the off chance someone tried to kill him. Though he had his doubts he would be attacked here, he did not want to take any chances.

"No, I'm full." He responded as he watched the girl reach across the counter.

Hevra watched the little display between the two sisters. He was confused at the way they interacted, though they spoke of cutting of hands and killing. They seemed cheery instead of angry or scared. He didn't understand it at all. If someone had threatened to cut of his hand or kill him, he would be very concerned and probably attack them. Or wait until they were asleep, then then kill them before they brought harm to him. He briefly thought that is what the girl might be planning, to kill the woman in the middle of the night and was only putting a happy front up now to confuse Sanae. Though, he dropped that assumption quickly. It didn't seem to hold water. Hevra once again decided that the display must be something that people did here.

After the girl had left, Hevra briefly considered returning to his room. Eventually he decided not too, staying in here and watching Sanae work to prepare food was more interesting than anything he could think of doing in his room. Though he reminded himself that he would need to exercise when he returned later. He didn't want to loose his physique now that he wasn't in combat every day. He hadn't seen combat since he had saved the Businessman, but he wasn't about to let his guard down. Even now.

After going up and down many staircases, peering into various rooms, Zabrina arrived at a tidy kitchen. Happily she skipped in, only to see 3 people already in there. Two of them looked like they worked here, but the other....he seemed different. "Oh...hi there!" grinned Zabrina cheerfully, raising her right hand and moving it side to side slightly. "Ooh that looks delicious!" she remarked, tiptoeing over to where Sanae was working. Closing her eyes, she breathed in the wonderful scent at the food that was being prepared. "Wow!" she smiled. "This smells wonderful! I can't wait until the feast." Lightly she chuckled, before walking over to the table and sitting next to Hevra. Then a train of thought swiftly zoomed through her mind and she quickly asked, "Oh gosh, sorry, was I interrupting anything?" She licked her teeth and twirled her hair before continuing. "I do that sometimes...barge in on other peoples' conversations. I can leave if you like." Slowly she stood up and looked over at the door, before making her way towards it.
