The castle gives and takes away. But, mostly, it gives.

Henry and Emma
The tale of Griselda begins with Gualtieri, the Marquis of Saluzzo, who gave more thought to nature and hunting than to marriage and family.


Zelman
Shall we take a walk, once in a blue moon, perhaps?


[ In the wee small hours of the morning, Lucrezia tries to bake a belated birthday cake!

On the kitchen counter is an instruction sheet for a Torta Pane Degli Angeli among packets of flour and sugar, piles of eggshells, a large bowl of egg yolks and one cake that literally fell flat. Everything is dusted with a generous coating of flour and icing sugar, like the girl currently beating egg whites with gusto.

Uru made it seem so easy. ]

[ ooc; as open as can be~ ]

Lucrezia

[amiable]

[ She can't help a laugh. ]

Yeah! But she'd say it's unhealthy if that's all I made!

Uru

[heloise]

Stephanie said I should grow rotund if I subsisted on cake.

Surely you can make others?

Lucrezia

[amiable]

Too much sugar will make you fat! And maybe sick.

I can cook breakfast, lunch, and dinners! I had a lot of time to practice here.

Uru

[heloise]

I will vouch for your abilities if your mother ever finds her way here.

Lucrezia

[amiable]

One time... she came by my workplace at home and we got into a fight. It took my own friends to show her I wasn't as helpless as she thought.

[ What would she do without Shindou and Ichirou, really? ]

Uru

[heloise]

Then I could be your friends for you, and Stephanie would help, surely.

Lucrezia

[amiable]

You'd really do that?

Uru

[heloise]

A small favor.

Lucrezia

[amiable]

That's a really big favor!
