We arrive in the cook-house, & I am pant making.copyright protection298PENANAlj0qP1MO3T
Try making to skip arm in arm with someone that is more active than yourself is exceedingly tired-making.copyright protection298PENANApPlXZ9TVYn
My neyes keep flash making about my condition. So annoy making. I knew I should have taken them out.copyright protection298PENANA3xftBsoqgl
I just woke up, too.copyright protection298PENANACZv4Im3g6i
" Why! If it isn't the young Master & Ara! What 'ould you like today?" the round, bustl making woman that is the head cook lyrically says as she bustles about, cook making. It somewhat reminds me of myself in the lab.copyright protection298PENANAvJh5H8m4Lt
" We would like a little basket with something for break-fast, Tilly, if you please." Her full name was Matilda, but from the time I can remember, she told me to call her Tilly, so I did.copyright protection298PENANAHla9ZWK95G
" Aye, lass. I'll have it ready soon enough. I'm a mite busy with what of yer beau com making o'er, but I'll 'ave it done in a jiffy, so don’t worry yer pretty lil' head."copyright protection298PENANAkobYwxbN1m
She walked into the Frosteam Box & shook her head.copyright protection298PENANAtO3w9dqQEC
" I know you aren't supposed to do our work for us, but would ye mind pass making by the hen-house & pick making up the eggs on yer walk? That eggler bot has been malfunction-making recently. That's the other thing I was meanin' to ask ye. Do ye think you could take a look at it? The contraption is a glitchy thing, it is." She grabbed the basket I made & dropped some ham, & a few boiled eggs in the frosteam side, along with a couple glasses of creamy milk.copyright protection298PENANALpweRMcvkp
I can smell the deliciousness that is the food & my IEMP growls again.copyright protection298PENANAopq2WzIRBS
" Say, Tilly, is that milk fresh? Everything smells so good.. It could almost make you full just by smell making it!"copyright protection298PENANAO3IEQuRA8H
" Aye, that's one bot that isn't malfunction making. Fresh milk from a few minutes ago, matter of fact. That there milk tube contraption ye built works wonders, it does."copyright protection298PENANAir2KWqIAaN
" Compression Pipe Transporter." I say.copyright protection298PENANAVL50XeOPMD
" I dinna know why ye come up with such complifiscated names for yer contraptions. I say we just call 'em as we see 'em & we'll be set. Then, I'm just a lowly kitchen cook. I s'pose nobody would listen to me after all."copyright protection298PENANADJCbEhJatF
I chuckle at this. She would say something like that.copyright protection298PENANAx5qmM0G9ZB
" I almost forgot, Tilly." she was pack making the heasteam side of the basket now.copyright protection298PENANAzZGBUIFwsE
" Yeah?"copyright protection298PENANA1450IUQbBc
" I'm sure we can pass by the hen-house on our way back, right Peregrin?"copyright protection298PENANAOOp26AwtkK
She looked up oddly when I said his name. I wonder why.copyright protection298PENANAWn27P8h6rr
" Sure, darling. We can do that."copyright protection298PENANAZuu7yDsMGa
I controlled myself & plastered a smile across my face while Tilly looked back & forth at us, her brow arched. copyright protection298PENANAsWJ5aiWix1
She finished pack making the basket & walked over.copyright protection298PENANA8NLZHPKFw4
Then, instead of hand making the basket to me & being on her way, she placed the basket on a table & put her hands on her hips.copyright protection298PENANA3hWOoA3i5X
" Now, I know it's none of my business, but all the same... Is there anything I'm a-miss making here? If I didn't know any better, I'd say something out of the customary is go making on between you two."copyright protection298PENANAIaMkqL1JHA
I look at Peregrine pointedly, tell making him with my stare, with all my being, tell making him I told you so. Burn making into hi-copyright protection298PENANAvElZoRcmGK
He grins.copyright protection298PENANAMZf1l7n3IC
" Well, Matilda, I think that's a proper question to ask my darling, as I'm not certified to answer it myself. Is there anything going on?"copyright protection298PENANAY049QTQerd
He leaned on the table & wiggled his s&y-coloured eyebrows at me, remind making me of some sort of old fishwife listen making in on some common town gossip.copyright protection298PENANA6h1dL2X4Ij
" Peregrine! Go making on? Us? Peregrine! We're cousins, for Zeus's sakes!"copyright protection298PENANARrut27JLGg
He turns to Tilly & gestures.copyright protection298PENANARmOwfEJ7aR
" & there you have it."copyright protection298PENANAVKDnDyDKTB
Tilda frowns.copyright protection298PENANAsRFWus5JRj
" Well, if it counts for aught, again, I say, none of my business, but I have always shipped you two to the aether. Besides, I never really like that foppish fellow. Always seemed bit foppish to me. I had the hope that my ship was go making to sail. I s'pose I shall have to wait on christen making it."copyright protection298PENANAwQ1dh58Yhn
I look down. The truth is, he's always been a rather effeminate person, I truly can-not deny it. I wonder what all that stuff & balderdash about ships & christen making is, though. Know making Tilly & her completely bizarre expressions, it probably refers to her think making Peregrine & I would make a good couple or something along those lines.copyright protection298PENANAC0gSNV7BYR
" Tilly... We are cousins! I can-not believe you would even ponder such a thing in your head! perchance a couple centuries ago it should have been all fine & d&y, but.. It's an outrage! Why do you even consider it?"copyright protection298PENANATwV4iEuoav
Tilly smiled a bit & shook her head, retir making back into the room & wash making her h&s.copyright protection298PENANAE6rCpA6mhq
" Now that, Ara, is not something I should answer. That is something should ask of your dear fellow, there. That's what, aye. Ask that of the master, not I."copyright protection298PENANArbh5OBXUum
I arch my eyebrows at Peregrine, a-wait making an explanation.copyright protection298PENANA0xXPULItlM
He sighs, plucks the basket off the table, & takes my arm again, head making towards my lab. Or rather, his parent's lab that they gifted to me so that I could take care of my... peculiarities.copyright protection298PENANASsF9KCY5ax
" Come along, darling, we should do a check-up on your facilities before go making out."copyright protection298PENANATXlmXcFHCX
He skips along the halls until a servant stops us, shock written on her face. She bows, & then says a few quiet words.copyright protection298PENANAPmaxvGLQTq
" I know perchance it isn't my place, missus Gadaranine, but I'd say it's not quite proper for you to be dressed in that sort of way. It's not proper."copyright protection298PENANAiQUUr5V4RS
Peregrine steps in front before I can muster up an answer.copyright protection298PENANAodoxbPDB70
" I dressed her that way, is there still a problem?"copyright protection298PENANAYkLPPMQP9L
The servant turns scarlet, her eyes dart making about in embarrassment.copyright protection298PENANATMoO3voQQg
" No, sir. I apologise for my words, if you are gracious, please act as though they never were uttered." & I watch as she scutters away, still mumbl making about the preposterousness of it all & how indecent how she didn't get paid enough to do that & such.copyright protection298PENANAltBhzZBloH
I st& in front of Peregrine, releas making my arm from his.copyright protection298PENANAvTtcxH1Bp6
" What was the mean making of that, then? You must know that she took that in a completely wrong way, Peregrine! Do you want Hermes's parents to hear of this? Something is seriously in the wrong with you today!"copyright protection298PENANAY76T7E8I41
His only response is a twinkl making in the eye & a slight smirk.copyright protection298PENANA7b2ClZsgrz
He grabs my arm, & off we go again.copyright protection298PENANA5DDrF1XB4V
