[It's a little embarrassing, but nothing ventured, nothing gained! The worst she can get is a 'no', and then she's right where she started anyway.]

This is Sir Gareth of Orkney, I hope?

[She has, on occasion, sent a message to the wrong person.]

This might sound like a terribly strange request, but I noticed that you won the cooking competition at the tournaments in Celliwig... I wondered if you might mind awfully if I asked for some pointers. You looked very at ease during the whole thing.

[beaumains]

[ Well, Della had told her this was bound to happen. But Jane had the right approach, treating her with less celebrity and more just respect as a cook. That and resting on the mend was awfully dull... ]

Oh! Yes, that is me, and I would absolutely be available for that sort of thing! What were you struggling with, specifically?

[cantgetanyworse]

[Ah, good! This is going better than she expected it to.]

I suppose... most things?

I never had to learn to cook, you see, but my housemate makes us such wonderful meals and I'd love to be able to return the favour somehow.

[beaumains]

My specialty is baking, but I can cook just about anything, so I definitely feel I'd be able to help!

[cantgetanyworse]

That would be so kind of you! I'm glad I got in touch. Of course, I can try to offer something in return for your time.

[beaumains]

Oh, no need for anything like that. I'll consider this a chivalrous act! I already get paid to cook in Lady Rin's restaurant, so I see no reason to get paid when I teach someone for fun!

[cantgetanyworse]

Then I shall owe you a favour in return. I insist on offering that at the very least.

[beaumains]

I suppose it would be rude of me to refuse a lady's insistence. I shall agree to those terms, then.

[cantgetanyworse]

Marvellous. I'm happy to wait until you're free to arrange a time and place.

[beaumains]

Well, we can do this in my kitchen, or yours. I feel it may be best to learn in your own kitchen, of course.

[cantgetanyworse]

I suppose I do know where everything is in there! If it isn't an issue, you'd be very welcome in my home.

[beaumains]

I shall endeavor to be a pleasant guest, as well as a thorough instructor, on my honor as a Knight!

[cantgetanyworse]

And I shall endeavour to be a good host, of course. When would be a good time for you?

[beaumains]

How about Sunday afternoon?

[cantgetanyworse]

Sunday afternoon would be perfect.
