"I don't use anything artificial. Even the food coloring we use here is all natural and homemade. Then again, though, even natural food can be bad for you if you eat too much of it. Corn syrup is a common sweetener, but it's still not healthy even though it's all natural corn product. All in moderation, you know?" She smiled easily, taking a bite of the waffles she had in front of her, mixing it with one of the mustard leaves.

"I'm glad you seem to like it. The most important thing to a chef is that the person eating their food enjoys it. You have to put a lot of thought into each dish so that the person it's for is in mind, so that every bite is made with interest for that particular person. After all, everyone is different and likes different things. That's part of what makes cooking fun though, to me."

[Evil Tink]

He smiled and nodded as she spoke, finishing off his bit if waffle before speaking, "You take this very seriously. Are you going to major in the culinary arts when you go to college? I can't imagine why you wouldn't. You're very passionate about your work, and that makes it high quality."

[Juneberry]

"I was planning to, yes. I've always wanted to be a pastry chef. Richard said that when he retires, he might have me take over for him. He's always treated me like family, so I guess he sort of thinks of this bakery as a family business. But...It makes me happy to think I can do that. This place is my home, and it's a place I love to be. So if I can keep working here even after school finishes, it'd be very nice."

[Evil Tink]

He nodded, "He thinks very fondly of you. I bet it's nice to have a 'father figure' sometimes." He shrugged then smiled, "Pardon my asking, but what year of high school are you in? I can tell you're obviously not a freshman..but beyond that, I'm at a loss."
[[Pardon my lame ass post..xD]]

((It's fine. It still gives me something to work off of, no? :3))

"This is my senior year," Chloe replied simply, smiling. "I know, I'm a little smaller than the other girls our year, but it's sorta nice to think that this year I can work more on my cooking afterward." She giggled slightly, smiling back as she finished her food and stood up. "I'll clean up. Your free to do as you wish, of course. But let me know if you decide to leave if I'm still washing." Taking each plate into one hand, she split from the scene, heading back into the kitchen and running the water to give the dishes a good cleansing.

[Evil Tink]

"I'm not just going to eat and leave, Chloe. That's just rude." He smiled, following her into the kitchen, "You sure you don't want me to take care of those? I feel a bit bad that I'm just standing here."

[[Blaaahh Im just not feeling it
xD]]

[Juneberry]

"Cleaning is part of cooking, you know." Chloe responded swiftly in response. She was quick with the dishes, working them easily from any dirt that had gotten on them during their meal. "Housework is another thing I enjoy. That's why some people at school say I'd make a good housewife, though I don't ever plan on such a thing. I'll always work on cooking for customers if I can help it."

((How can we gt you more into it then? xD))

[Evil Tink]

[[I have no idea..ive been a bit down cause i think i failed a class
Dx]]

He couldn't help but chuckle at her, "You're a strange one Chloe. I've never met anyone who likes to do housework. Hell, I don't even bother with it. I have..people for that."

[Juneberry]

((That could be part of why you're not as into it, can't it?))

"It helps keep me moving," Chloe replied with a smile. "I was in charge of it for a long time when mom got sick, before she passed away. It helped me keep going though, somehow. Just doing it, seeing the way mom would smile when she found out I was working so hard for her... It made her so happy, it made me happy too. And even afterwards... It was a great way to keep busy. So I sorta just ended up liking that aspect of it."

[Evil Tink]

[[Possibly.. :3
Sorry..Im just like...BLLAAHHH RPING..xD
/eventhoughyoucan'tpullmeawayfromtheotheroneimdoing withbovice]]

Nicolai nodded as he listened, "I really do live a lazy life..thank you for putting that in perspective." He laughed a bit, shoving his hands into his pockets, "Is there anything in particular you would like to do today? I hear the weather is going to be very nice."

[Juneberry]

[[Is there a way to make you feel less "blaaaaah rping" =o We must find something that will help! This shouldn't be a chore, after all.]]

"Haven't I troubled you quite enough already?" She chuckled a bit, finishing up her work. She took a simple seat on the counter, though it wasn't the most graceful thing to do or see. Her legs swung idly as she did such, trying to keep moving even after having done quite a bit already. "It isn't necessarily bad to live more idly. Everyone has their own needs and thus has to live in a way that fills those needs. Most people say I'm just too much of a busy body."

[Evil Tink]

Nicolai laughed, "You haven't troubled me at all. I've quite enjoyed our time together. Not many humans stick around to get to know me, and many of the other vampires seem to..extremely dislike me. I have no idea why," his last sentence was laced with intense sarcasm.

[Juneberry]

((Yay! A post! Oh...And...We seriously need some sort of plot twist.))

"By the tone of your voice I'm guessing that's a lie, but...I'll ignore it for now." Chloe smiled, looking upward towards the ceiling slightly while still letting her legs hand in gentle motion. "To be honest, it's not really common for me to stick around someone for very long in general, no matter what race they are. I don't really know why I've been doing it today...But it still makes me happy to hear even if it's uncommon. Maybe I just have trouble with humans...Normally I don't meet many vampires or otherwise. I can usually tell, too. I don't know why though...I wonder if my mom could when she was around?"

[Evil Tink]

Nicolai shrugged, "Not a clue. Honestly." He chuckled, giving her a smile, "It's my charming personality and devilishly good looks." He looked up slightly,lifting his hand and doing a little twist/circle with it by his cheek. "Not to sound conceited, of course. Perhaps she could? I couldn't tell you. It's extremely rare for a human to be so sensitive to us like you are, but it's not always a bad thing."

[[Like whut o3o]]

[Juneberry]

((Not really sure, but I feel like we're just droning on now xD))

"You do realize the way you said that made you sound a tad narcissistic, right?" Chloe couldn't help but laugh, smiling in respond anyway. "Though, I won't say you're fully wrong or anything, and self-complimenting is a good thing for one's self esteem...But still." She shook it off, soon jumping off the counter, landing well on her feet, though not the most graceful landing there could be. Noticing a calender nearby, she frowned upon noticing the date, as well as the red circle around it.

"Oh...I have something to do today. I got so out of myself that I forgot!" She laughed nervously. It was uncommon that she'd forget that day. In fact, it was the one day of the year she almost always took off from work, to her boss's pleasure. "I'm afraid I have an...errand to run. I won't impose on you any longer, then, I suppose. It would be foolish for me to do so.

[Evil Tink]

He shrugged, "Hey, what can I say? I only speak truths! Ah, but don't worry, I don't usually keep up that front for long. I find it rather annoying. Either way, I don't want to keep you form something so important." He stepped aside, motioning for her to go first, "Lady's first, of course."
