Calls are made.

Aaren would be absolutely delighted to do a cooking class! Or just cook for people! Either or, he's just very happy to do any kind of cooking really!

Would he mind terrible to make a small scale demo? Cooking something for a small group while teaching them what they are doing?

He would be utterly delighted to do that.

Great! They can settle a time, and they will provide a place. And the test drive pupils.

Ten pupils is probably a good starting point? Not too many, and Aaren's not actually taught like this before...

That sounds like a good number to start with. They should be able to find that many people interested.

If they can't, no worries, but ten is best as a maximum. He'll be there on the agreed day.

That's settle then.

The brothers will ask around for volunteers. How about Parafi?

-He's allowed? Yes! Please!

He is absolutely welcome to do so!

He'd be absolutely delighted to!

Perfect, here is the time and place.

They get around to finding other volunteers.

And Aaren will be there in plenty of time before the actual time to make sure everything's set up and ready to go.

With Inara, although 'Chelle doesn't appear to have joined them today.

Here is another student. Who reads the sign at the door explaining what this kitchen space is being used for and looks relieved.

Because when a Vaesteri heir asks you something you say yes, no question asked. Her brother agreed with her in this.

But you definitely should have paid attention to what he was asking instead of freaking out that a Vaesteri heir was talking to you. As her brother told her.

Well, positive side: a free cooking class, sounds fun. She doesn't work on the kitchens, so she rarely has the chance to cook anything.

"Hi! I am Ima-Aidala Costu, but you can call me Ima." She says to no one in particular.

Aaren smiles warmly at her. "Hi, Ima, I'm Aaren, this is Inara. I'm delighted you could join us."

She inclines her head, approaching. "An honor to meet you, sir. Hi, are you here to learn to or are you his assistant?" Ima asks Inara.

"Mostly just to be in the way," Inara says brightly. "It's a well learned fact that me doing anything cooking related isn't the most advisable thing."

(Parafi slips into the back of the room.)

Imag giggles. "If it helps, my lack of cooking failures is entirely a lack of practice, so you're not alone in this class."

"Just don't slice your hand open and you're already doing better than me."

"I will try."

The triplets walk-in one by one.

Ima glances at the sound of the door opening, freezes, turns beet red and then forces a polite smile on her face. All in very quick succession.

She does not, however, actually say anything to greet the triplets.
