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.

Inara notices, but doesn't say anything, instead smiling at the triplets and waving.

Parafi continues to loiter near the back of the room.

Feliaris waves and smiles at Ima, but is merciful enough not to push it and instead just turns to Inara and Aaren.

Yeah, Ima will just take a few steps back.

Actually she will find herself next to Parafi, mildly surprised in seeing him there. "Hi?"

"-Hi?" He seems a little surprised she's speaking to him.

"Hi, I have seen you around. Uh, are you excited for the class?"

"I- think so? It sounded interesting?"
