Amy has hot chocolate, pizza, and a pile of correspondence she brought along in the hopes of getting somewhat caught up after being away from home for nearly a month.

At least, that was the plan.

Now that she's here, though, it's hard to find any enthusiasm at all for the papers on her table, so she's largely ignoring them while she looks around the bar.

After all, there's always something interesting going on at the end of the universe.

And anyway, they'll keep.

"They are, aren't they? We all take turns in the kitchen for chores."

[kitchen_maid]

"And what sorts of things do you have to do?

"I hated stoning cherries. It was just so . . . sticky."

"Chopping stuff. I hate chopping onions."

She makes a face.

Amy nods.

"They make you cry, and you can't rub your eyes, and then your hands smell like onions for ages.

"They do make things taste better, though.

"Well, some things.

"I wouldn't want them in cakes, I don't think."

"Ugh, no," Ingress says, making a face.

"I don't mind washing dishes, though. As long as someone else dries them and puts them away."

[kitchen_maid]

"I was always so afraid I was going to break things, when I was washing dishes. They are rather slippery.

"So tell me about a part of school that does not involve kitchen chores. What are enjoying the most?"

[herald_to_be]

"I like sword fighting, of course, and other classes like that. And Megwyn and I have to practice with older Heralds and Companions, and that's exciting for both of us. And hard, sometimes, but mostly exciting. And I like history. It's all new."
