Sunshine has been out of the infirmary for a couple of days, now, and found that the winter solstice had caught her unawares. She might be still recovering, but there is baking to be done and Solstice gifts to arrange for her friends. Her weakened state led her to decide on giving decorative tins full of lace cookies, this year, as they are relatively quick and easy to prepare, and can be made with any kind of fruit juice to lend them flavor. She has chosen orange, peach, and pomegranate juices, as they will make for a pleasing variety of flavors and colors.

She is recovering, but the frequency with which she has to sit and rest is disheartening to her. She nearly drifts off a time or two, but makes herself get up and make another pot of tea before continuing on.

Find Sunshine in the kitchen on this grey, next-to-shortest day of the year, singing quietly to herself under her breath as she works.

(ooc: Mun is running away for Fantastic Beasts shortly, but will return afterwards! <3333333)

Her peace is disturbed by tall fellow who nearly bursts into the kitchen and seems to be scraping something off his leg on the door jam. If Sunshine looks--and really who wouldn't?--she'll see on of the elves flop to the floor outside the kitchen.

"Yes, yes," Eliot says looking up with a grin, before looking over his should to peer through the window in the kitchen door. The elf doll is, of course, inanimate. "Although I seem to be quite naughty this year."

Turning to face Rae fully, he smiles more honestly before his brows crinkle in something like concern. "Please tell me I didn't ruin a soufflé? I doubt I could live with myself."

[OOC: And I just realized I should've checked that you were okay with an elf appearing, however briefly. Sorry.]
arcane_mixologist: (how fascinating: oh yes)

"Oh, these look divine," Eliots says, but adds, "You aren't some sort of enchantress or fae maiden seeking to bespell and whisk me away to your realm now are you?"

His tone is teasing but his eyes are serious.
ostro_goth: (Serious)

Sunshine probably didn't expect Teja in the kitchen, all by himself, with neither Egil nor the cats hin tow. He's wearing black leather trousers of indeterminate history, and and ancient ratty tee-shirt that once must have been black, and still says GOTH in faded red blackletter type.

"Good morning, Rae Seddon," he says gravely.

"Indeed," Teja says, "that is what it is today. You do not look happy, though."

Eliot accepts the cookie with a little bow, picking it up carefully with forefinger and thumb. With a hint of a flourish, he turns it to take a bite and his eyes widen.

"This is fu..." he starts to say before remembering the elves on the other side of the door. "Fabulous and amazing," he says instead. "I must have the recipe."

"Are you worried for your friend, who is in the wars?" Teja asks.

Jay leans on the door frame and breathes in. Just enjoying the smell and warmth.

Jay doesn't know the song but he hums along. He has a decent voice, enough to him in tune.

Sinric brings a tray of empty tea things down to the kitchen, thanking a rat as they take it from him.

He smiles to Rae, listening to her song.

"I heard of that," Teja says. He may not have been involved, but of course takes good notice of Security matters.

"Is there any thing I may do for you to help revive you? I might bring you a glass of Pyrrha's horchata, which is a wondrous thing."

After nine years in Milliways, Teja has learned that food or drink may be more helpful than sympathetic lamentation.

Also, Pyrrha is an aspect of Loki, so who knows what her horchata might do...
ostro_goth: (Deep look)

"It is a spiced, sweet milk made of almonds, with no milk at all," Teja says. "Some that eat only plants from your time have such drinks often, but this is a traditional recipe made for pleasure, not the reasons of health or abstinence the moderns favour."
ostro_goth: (Amused)

"They are simply food, and quite delicious at that," Teja says.

That, from grim Teja! He has truly changed in those years, as he never had in his life.

"I shall fetch you some. It takes me but a moment."

Pause.

"But would you do me a favour?"
