Alys
Alys grinned, pleased that her friend was pleased, and laughed at his mock suspicion. "Of course not," she told him. "But there's always my cooking to consider." It was only half teasing; truth be told, she rarely cooked. The Academy dormitories were comfortable, but they were noticeably lacking in kitchen space. Instead, she often ate out or joined her friends.
With the potatoes chopped into chunks ready for mashing, Alys went over to them and began to carefully collect them into the bowl, avoiding the dagger. "That sounds delicious," she said over her shoulder. "Be right back!" She took but a moment to fetch the milk and butter from outside the door, and returned in time to hear Tal's question. "Why don't we do salad?" she suggested. Soup and salad sounded like they would go well together in her book, anyway, and she had all the makings of a simple salad in her bags.
As she began to mash the potatoes, stirring in a bit of milk and butter as she went, she asked, "How goes your search for an apprentice?" She remembered that the last time they'd spoken about it, he'd had a candidate in mind, but had been unsure about taking the person on. "Are you still searching for someone less nice?" she teased.
