Flan du Rosemary vuu Succulence Ral Thyme Sauerkraut
Much to Flan's delight quite a few of the chapter keepers and company found their way over to her. Gromgard was always a courteous fellow as he took one of her cookies for himself. There were times when she also fed the goblins but as they had...underdeveloped taste buds it was rather easy to cook to their tastes. She didn't mind them at all of course but they weren't the best at compliments. As for Gromgard himself, he was pleasant enough to serve and could easily enjoy his company.
That little stink, Zouyu had managed to take off with six of her cookies, but thankfully she had overstocked her tray so there was enough left for those who wanted them. As the gardener he was quite vital to keeping her stores in stock and so she made sure to keep on good terms with him. He was a bit hard to actually serve though, always bouncing around and never keeping still she could find him exasperating at times.
Kath was a bit of a recluse and a sweetheart. As someone who would visit all chapter keepers on occassion, except those who had no need for food like the doll Salem, Flan actually probably saw the dragonoid more often than many of the other residents. Because of her personality however, it could be hard to get the compliments and praise that Flan craved from the others.
Another taker of her sweets was the head maid Mamoru, who gleefully accepted her contributions and told her how 'sweet' she was. Flan couldn't help but melt and blush a bit at the compliment but unfortunately that was the end to said compliments as work took priority. Flan could almost always count on getting a power boost from her superior as she was not at all ashamed at lavishing her with praise. Flan quite enjoyed all the attention and how much the head maid seemed to enjoy her creations.
The void monster, Light, also had decided to stick around to devour anything that was left over. Light was one of the more unusual members of the Chateau. constantly hungry it was possible to serve Light at any time which was kind of nice, but that also meant Light could never truly be satisfied by her meals. Light was also a hazard to be around, thankfully for Flan, with her high natural resistances and status effect resistance ring she could withstand her void abilities and insanity for a short while with no ill-effects, still prolonged exposure was bad but it was easy enough to ooze her way out of any unsanctioned hugs from her. Needless to say Light actually made quite a good guinea pig for new recipes that she wasn't confident in yet.
Ashara was one who also decided to take her up on her offer of refreshments. Ashara was frankly just a joy to watch when she served her. Every swish of her tail and curve of her lips betrayed her absolute delight when she was enjoying one of her dishes. Compliments poured out from her lips and the way she reacted with every bite was downright adorable. Flan always had great fun watching her reactions to every delicious dish she prepared.
"Oh, and Miss Flan. Could I perhaps bring one of these cookies along on our trip?" Ashara asked Flan, who like any excellent chef had the equipment for take out if needed.
"Of course Lady Ashara. I have just the thing for your trip." taking one of the tea cookies, she wrapped it up in a delightful little handkerchief. The handkerchief was a light lavender with exquisite white trim, a lady's handkerchief to be sure. Actually Flan had special handkerchiefs for each chapter keeper as her own personal touch when serving them. The handkerchiefs were reusable so when a chapter keeper was done with theirs for the time being, they could deposit it in a special basket she had set up near the kitchen entrance. The handkerchief would then be washed and could be used again for the next snack they would enjoy.
"Please do enjoy Lady Ashara and have a safe trip." With a bow she handed over the handkerchief with the cookie inside.
Soon enough everyone had to leave for their various duties. Flan deposited the few left overs with the bottomless pit, Light, and then returned to her domain the kitchen.
@The Irish TreeAfter finishing the last of the dinners for the night, and cleaning up the kitchen, Flan decided to retire for the night. Flan took off her uniform, hanging it up on a peg near the back of the kitchen and slithered over to her bed, a large wooden tub. Flan slipped her way into the tub and settled down into a large puddle of purple goo. As a slime, how she relaxed was to completely let herself go, losing control of her body she conformed herself to the shape of the tub. If one were to look into the tub, it would appear to be full of purple jello with yellow orbs and a ring floating around in it, her status resistance ring which she never took off.
She had been sleeping in the tub for a little while when she was roused from her sleep by the pleasant sound of Master Rodias,
"Flan? I hate to ask at this late hour, but could you please prepare something for me to eat?"Flan accidentally blew a bubble which popped out of her body as she quickly tried to rouse herself which was a rather embarrassing thing to do but thankfully she was far enough in the back she doubted he noticed. She kind of flopped out of the tub as she tried to wake herself and clumsily created tendrils to reach for her maid uniform.
"Of course Master Rodias...just give me a moment to prepare."Flan managed to grab the maid uniform, which promptly fell on top of her with her clumsy efforts. Slightly flustered by her mistake, she trembled a bit as she quickly reshaped herself into her uniform and before long was standing upright as control over her own shape came back to her as she woke up. Flan quickly checked herself in a mirror to make sure her uniform was unwrinkled and her body was correctly shaped as the proper slime maid she was. With a nod of satisfaction, she quickly went to greet her lord.
"Please forgive the delay Master Rodias, I will whip up a light snack for you right away!" Flan flashed her best smile and with a curtsey she quickly went to work. First she directed Master Rodias to a small table were she placed some crackers and aged cheese for him to much on while she prepared his real snack. As this was technically a midnight snack it had to be light but at the same time this was a rare opportunity to directly cook for her master so she wanted to show off a bit as well. Master Rodias was a Dhampire so of course whatever she made had to have meat, so she decided to get some mutton from cold storage.
Flan fired up the stove and placed the cold mutton in a skillet, she added a little water to help heat up the meat and add some moisture. As it cooked she added spices: salt, pepper, rosemary, cinnamon, thyme, sage, onions, and a hint of mint. Within a few short minutes, a wonderful smell wafted through the kitchen as she added a few finishing touches before putting the small mutton chop on a plate and drizzling it with some lime juice. The small mutton chop was moist and tender, spiced to perfection in order to entice the mouth to salivate in preparation for the joy it would bring to the tongue.
"I hope it is to you liking Master Rodias." Flan respectfully placed the tantalizing cut in front of him and started to twirl her 'hair' around with a finger as she waited for his verdict. Had she managed to impress him with her skills on such short notice? Had she been a little too ambitious and taken too long to prepare his dish. Flan waited with bated breathe at what Master Rodias would say to her.
