[There's the sound of a dog barking in the background as Terra opens her journal with a sigh.]

Has anyone seen Shadow lately?

...hush, I'll find him for you. Or at least Relm. I promise.

[Filtered to Zelda]

How are you feeling? Might I visit?

[Once Terra's found Relm for Interceptor to hang with, she'll be gratefully heading out to do other

[Lazlo is just headed down the stairs out of building 7, going to go out to familiarise himself even more with the village and also pick up a few things, when he catches the smell of food baking. He pauses by the doorway to the first floor kitchen, looking inside curiously. Don't mind him.]

[Terra's humming to herself as she checks the oven, then closes it gently.]

Almost done....

[After a moment, she gets that feeling of being watched and glances around.]

[Lazlo blinks as he notices her looking around and clears his throat slightly, looking apologetic as he steps into the kitchen.]

Sorry about that. I was just wondering what that smell was.

[Action]

[esper_flight]

[She shakes her head, unconcerned. After all, the kitchen area is a relatively public place.]

It's alright. Pumpkin bread seemed like a good idea, so I decided to make some. I was meaning to share once it's cooled....

[Action]

[ninthforgiven]

So it's pumpkin bread? [Cuuuurious. Pumpkin isn't exactly a popular ingredient for anything in the Island Nations.] It certainly smells good.

[esper_flight]

Thank you.

[Terra smiles, glancing to the clock. A few more minutes....]

I don't know if it was served at home, but I found a good recipe for it in the library.

[Action]

[ninthforgiven]

I don't think we had anything like that in the Island Nations. Bread, certainly, but...

[He looks thoughtful. Foods from other worlds, huh...]

[Action]

[esper_flight]

The Island Nations?

[Terra tilts her head, intrigued.]

What are they like? They have other desserts, don't they?

[Or maybe they don't. What an appalling thought.]

[Action]

[ninthforgiven]

Well, it's a federation, now. There are quite a few inhabited islands--you have Razril, Obel, and Middleport, which is the main island for anything commercial. Then there are smaller ones with no permanent residents.

[Then Lazlo smiles and nods.]

Most of the desserts I know are made with tropical fruits you can find on the islands--there're quite a variety of cakes and cookies.

[Action]

[esper_flight]

[Terra looks thoughtful.]

I wonder if I could find anything in the library about that. Maybe I could make something that reminds you of home.

[Action]

[ninthforgiven]

Huh?

[Lazlo blinks a few times, seeming flustered.] Oh, that'd be kind of you, but that's all right.

[Action]

[esper_flight]

[Terra shrugs.]

I don't mind. It's nice to try something new, especially when it's slow around here.

[She checks the clock again, then opens the oven. Snagging an oven mitt, she takes out the newly baked pumpkin bread loaf.]

[Action]

[ninthforgiven]

Is there a lot of time here with nothing to do?

[Lazlo watches curiously, head slightly tilted.]

[Action]

[esper_flight]

Well...when there isn't an experiment or school, it can be. I think school will be closing soon for the winter anyway; it did last year.

[Action]

[ninthforgiven]

There's a school here...? [Curious curious.] What sorts of things do they teach?

[Action]

[esper_flight]

Math, science, literature, art...there's a course for filial magic, too, and one that's less a class and more a group discussion, about different worlds. I...haven't been to that one. But the others are nice!
