Everything had to go swimmingly. She had to get every bit right, down to the sugar.

"Okay, let's start with"." She was eyeing the booklets of things to make and shook her head," No' If I let that go in first then it will be gone before everyone else will get to eat it?" Timora pursed her lips. She was not used to this, not at all.

Timora was the daughter of? bah' it didn't matter, well until it came to what she was planning on doing after Guill got back from vacation. She was going to make sure that Guill was "avenged?" In other words Timi was going to go to her mother about some certain Virgin and other various things.

She clicked her tongue for a moment, knowing all too well that Guill wanted to help as well. But a few things had to be made by her and her alone at first. That was why she had chose the kitchen at the hall to do most of her work, granted there were other kitchens she could go to.

Aja was hunting the boar and Padriq was cleaning it, she did not have to worry about that at all, well" At least yet. She knew that it would be a lot of food to cook, but Guill cooked a lot on a daily basis, why couldn't she. With a tap of her chin she went to thinking about what was about to be cooked. Okay' She could do this.

"For Guill." Her sleeves rolled up and her determination growing, little did she know that somewhere May was watching her sister work hard.

"Gnocchi alla Romana," She spoke as if the words were fluent and more of a dance upon her lips. She turned her gaze over the recipe before nodding:

" 3 cups milk " 1 teaspoon salt " 6 tablespoons butter plus 2 tablespoons " 1 cup semolina, quick cooking or finely ground cornmeal " 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus 1/2 cup " 4 egg yolks " 1/4 pound taleggio, cut into chunks

Milk was measured out, along with the other ingredients. Together this would form some sort of cheese biscuit. Licking her lips she shook her head at the product being formed before her, soon all parts would be put together and the item put in the oven.

Even the timer was set, which was a new device for Timi. So far, so good. At least she was putting as much effort into this as she could. Tray after tray was placed in the oven until it was full of the recipe at hand. Cooking one thing at a time was the best thing for Timi to do. The Gnocchi would make it out of the oven alive and edible. Thank goodness.

The next recipe however was skipped over," Nope" Guill can make it.? Was all she said. The recipe looked horrifying.

~Hunting Day~ Early Morning

Aja woke up Tuesday morning to the sound of the ocean, and Padriq's light snoring. She grinned a little, kissed his cheek and slipped out of bed before she was tempted to linger. It was early, sun hadn't even started peeking over the horizon, judging by the light outside. But she had a lot to do today. There was a client coming to the yards, several deliveries that were going to be made that she had to inspect and as of last night, a boar to hunt.

She had gotten Timi's panicked message that the wait staff for the event had canceled on her, and that something else had come up making Thursday a bad night all the way around for Guill's party. Wednesday was discussed and dismissed as everyone had plans to join Sivanna and Alec for the housewarming party, so Aja suggested Tuesday at the Isle. Timi agreed that it was a lovely location for Guill's party and then went into "Oh my god, that's tomorrow" panic mode. Aja assured her the boar would be there, so, she would make sure there was a boar, cleaned and cooking for Guill's party, if only to avoid Timi committing some act of nuttiness.

A quick shower, some clothes thrown on, a note for the sleeper, one more long lingering glance at Padriq and she was bounding down the steps. "And where are you off too so early in the AM?" Maria's voice caught her by surprise, and she grinned as she looked into the den seeing Maria standing there with a cup of coffee. "I gots me a boar to hunt." Aja grinned brightly like it was the most exciting thing in the world. "A boar?" Maria's expression looked worried about the information. "Yep." Aja came off the steps smiling broadly. "Timi's needin one for Guill's party. And I'll see she gets it." "Padriq helping you hunt it?" "Well, yeah. But he's still sleeping." Aja grinned brightly. "Boar probably is too." Maria smiled at Aja. "Which is why I am going to the yards, get a jump start on papers and then go hunt it down." She started for the door. "Aja DaMaris Bird, you take one step out that door without attempting breakfast and I'll lock you in a closet." Aja stopped hearing that order, she knew that motherly tone. No way was she making it out the house right now. "But, Maria!" she protested. "Kitchen. March." Maria pointed to the kitchen as she started towards Aja. "Hold on a second.." Aja grinned marching into the kitchen. "Don't you work for me?" "Yes. But you know as well as I do, you'd die of starvation if I wasn't here." Maria's tone was still motherly making Aja smile softly. "More than likely." Aja grinned and kissed Maria's cheek. "And I'd miss you." That made Maria smile warmly. She opened the refrigerator then looking at Aja. "Do you want eggs?" she asked making Aja scoff. "Toast, woman. I have no time for eggs." Aja waved a hand at her, grinning and swore Maria might send that egg she was holding at her head. "Fine, but you'll be coming home for lunch." Maria ordered and Aja only smiled. She wasn't going to make it home, Maria probably knew that, but it made her feel better to fuss a little.

Some toast and she was out the door, munching on the last piece, Maria unable to keep her still long enough to finish. Aja was on a mission to get things done, and they weren't getting that way sitting in the kitchen. Some paperwork till Padriq was up and ready to hunt. That was the plan. She just hope he wouldn't sleep late.
