Chestnuts On an Open Fire - Or Is It To Early? [ Action ]

[wishmadeinfire]

[Stuck in a painting for a mont left you wanting to be outside. To be walking around, to be in motion! It was a bit to nippy to take Svitana out, the poor reptile, so that left doing things more or less on foot. Wrapped up in a warm wrap, Ashura stopped by the kitchen for four very specific items, set them in a cloth bag, and then went out into the gardens. 

He found a bench, brushed it off, and sat. Promptly he opened the bag and set out a metal bowl over a smattering of rocks and a long, metal spoon to the side. Concentrating, he began to heat the bowl until the air shimmered with heat. He took the next item out - pecans. He and come to enjoy the sweet nut. He tossed those in, and finally brought out the last item - brown sugar. He took a generous handful and sprinkled that onto the pecans in the bowl. 

Picking up the spoon, he carefully began to turn the tasty treat in the bowl to thoroughly coat all the pecans, the smell of sugar filling the air around him.

Yes, he was a king, but what can he say? There was something just so satisfying about making your own sweet treat, and with them the outside was not so bad. He might as well be outside as much as he could before the real winter weather forced him into hibernation, right?

So, anyone want some?]

[Chell's outside, enjoying the fact she's no longer four-legged and fuzzy, when that smell of roasting nuts hits her nose. Mmmm. That smells tasty. So, being a curious person, she stalks over to watch. She's never seen anyone roast nuts of any variety before, and those look incredibly delectable.]

_{[Ashura finishes turning them over with the spoon and sets it aside, cooling the fires he had been using to heat the bowl. Even with his power over fire, he did not yet reach for any, just smiled and breathed in the sweet scent.]}

[Chell was getting more and more curious now. Edging closer, she perched on the opposite end of the bench from him, peering at the bowl of nuts. She really would like one, but 1 they looked really hot, 2 she didn't know this person, and 3 She really didn't want to disturb him.

Wishing up a notebook, so as not to rip pages out of her journal, she wrote a message to the man on the opposite end of the bench, before reaching out and very lightly tapping him on the shoulder and offering the note, on which was scrawled the following.]

Hello,
I don't think you and I have met. But those nuts smell amazing. Are they tasty? I've never had nuts like that before... Well, I'd never eaten a nut before finding myself here that I can remember.

My name is Chell. What is yours?

[Yup. She's trying to be friendly.]

_{[He blinked when he was tapped and took the note. He read it quickly and laughed, looking at her, handing the paper back with the jingle of bracelets.]}

Surely, I will share. Though, you could have simply asked. Or are you like another friend of mine and cannot speak?

_{[He tapped his throat for emphases.]}
