6th Rune [Video/Action]

[Video]

[Lyon offers a polite bow of her head as the video clicks on.]

Hello, everyone.  With all of the celebrations and festivals lately, I've been thinking a little about what I can do to help around Asgard lately too.  I've gotten involved in a lot of things, but I keep coming back to the fact that I haven't practiced much with the power I've been given by Heimdall, and I'd like to do something about that.  I'm a Damage Drain user, so it's hard to find an opportunity to really practice without someone walking away from it with an injury, and I don't really want to hurt someone on purpose just so I can get some more experience with my power.  But I do spend a lot of time training at the Arena, so I was wondering if someone would like to have a practice fight if we could get someone from Sigyn House to come with us to make sure no one walks away with any lasting wounds.  That way, I could get used to using my power, and with healing available we could also train harder and for longer.  So if anyone is interested in combat training, or if you're a healer who would be all right with making sure things are safe while helping me train with my power, please let me know.

[Action; Arena]

[Later in the day, Lyon is back at the Arena, just like she said she would be earlier.  She's currently in one of the training rooms practicing her sword forms, but she'd be happy to stop and talk to anyone who wants to.  And there are a few things she wants to ask some of her more regular training partners too, so she'll be keeping an eye out for anyone she's sparred with previously.]

Two? Ok.

[he rummages around for a cup to measure flour in, and pulls out another bowl which he places near Lyon.] Could you crack two eggs into that, please?
falenandawn: (ummm...)

[....That's ok.

He reaches over, grabbing her hands before she cracks the second egg. He can fish out the pieces from the first with a spoon, but he'd prefer not getting more in there.]
Ah, wait.

I forgot, I had trouble with this too in the beginning.

It's fine. What you do is crack the side on the bowl gently and then pry it apart. Like...

[Hmm. It's hard to explain, so....] Can I show you?

[He pulls out a spoon, scooping out the egg shells still in the bowl carefully. After that, though, he picks up an eggs from the carton and places it over the rim of the bowl, tapping lightly on the edge.] You just tap it until the shell gives, but don't crack it there. Then you just....

[He pulls gently, prying the egg apart slowly and releasing the contents inside into the bowl.]

[Frey had gone about learning in a similar manner, so it much be a very serious matter indeed.]

Of course not. The recipe calls for two eggs, but we can adjust it for three, I think.
falenandawn: (ummm...)

[personal profile] falenandawn 2012-08-20 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
It's fine! We can just remove the shell. [he thinks.

If all else fails they could always throw it all out.]

[Frey goes about using a spoon to scoop out the bits of eggshell, smiling a bit as he works.] It takes practice. I ruined an entire batch of cupcakes for during one of my first house contests. They were like black sludge.

But I've found cooking is oddly relaxing, once you get the hang of not burning things.

It's taken me a while, but if you cook every day you get a hang of the basics quickly enough.

[Picking up another egg, he offers it to Lyon.] Do you want to try again? We can just make two batches... perhaps take any leftovers to work.

[He smiles brightly at her achievement and excitement over it, nodding.] Good job.

We need to mix the flour and baking powder in.
falenandawn: (hmm.... thinking face go!)

Also I am actually going off internet recipes because it's been ages since I made pancakes.

[he picks them up, one after another, to measure out the proper amounts with a measuring cup, then adds them to a second bowl he pulls down from the shelf bowl. grasping the milk jug, he measures out some of that to add to the eggs.]

Can you stir the milk and eggs while I mix the rest? They need to be added together after mixing.

Alright... [He starts mixing the dry mix in quick, through motions, watching the colors blend. After checking on Lyon's progress, however....] you can go a little bit faster, if you want.
falenandawn: (smile11)

[personal profile] falenandawn 2012-09-03 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, exactly.

[He smiles again.] It's not so hard, right?
