That... Sounded hard. But he was going to do it. He wasn't a pretty alright potion brewer for nothing. "Yes ma'ame," he said and saluted for some reason. Hugo hopped towards the counter and looked at all the ingredients. Okay. Let's do it. Hugo mixed all the ingredients and stirred. "Heh. Almost like potions isn't it?" Hugo said looking back at Kurumi. Stir... Stir... Stir...
After stirring for a while Hugo asked "Kurumi, do you think it's ready for the apples?" He didn't know much about cooking but it looked pretty boilin' to him.
Yes. Okay. He walked over with Connor and took a seat on the counter near the door. "That kid sets my teeth on edge," Hugo admitted. "He believes that the only way to treat a girl properly is to call her hot and give her compliments," he sighed and rolled his eyes. "He should just stay out of Fee and my business," he told Connor. It was very rude of him to just drop into a conversation and tell her with Hugo near that he thought Hugo didn't treat her right. And when he wanted to tell William off, the kid said to stay out of his private conversation! What. A. Prick. "I personally believe love is based on friendship," Hugo said and nodded. "You're not the only one Mate." Connor shook his head, however they were related, since Connor had recently heard that William was NOT his young uncle, He would not put up with the young man's disrespecting another girl in his presence. "He did What? Merlin that kid has no sense. I gave him a good tongue lashing for what he said to Kurumi at the lake earlier and he did me the same way. One day that kid is going to meet the wrong side of somebody and I hope I'm around when it does." When Hugo said he believed that love was based on friendship Connor nodded. "I couldn't agree more, and it's also based on respect and yes attraction is a part of it, but without the honest friendship and respect, the attraction means nothing." He glanced over at Kurumi and smiled, Merlin he loved that girl with all his heart and even if she never loved him in return he would still be her friend and that was the most important thing. Quote:

She had an idea, but she wanted to be sure, so maybe she'll ask later if there is something really big between her bestfriend and Connor. Won't that be so lovely? and she'd have someone she can look up to again, just as she did with Rex before.
Heather looked at her doll, the giant doll was nodding. It seems he was excited to meet this Theodore Bear Connor was talking about. How lovely, he'd meet one of his own kind, but then a thought struck her. Mr. Panda is as big as half Heather's size...is Connor's bear...the same? That would be awesome! "C-Connor..." she stuttered a bit. "I-is your bear...as big as Mr. Panda?" she asked, tilting her head a bit to her left; an indication of childish curiosity.
Then Connor mentioned calling Mr. Panda Pandaman. The doll looked at Heather and then back at Connor. It nodded its head but then looked back at Heather and tugged at her robe. She knelt a bit and tried to decode his series of movements. Finally, he was done and Heather only smiled. She turned to Connor.
"He-he says he'd..l-like t-to...if you're the only one...to call him that." she pointed to Mr. Panda who had his arms crossed and nodding his head. Yeah, Mr. Panda doesn't take fancy to other people calling him other names; but it was a curiosity why he agreed to Connor at once, considering they've just met.
"O-okay!"Heather practically skipped towards the counter and took the glass bowl. with a mixing spoon, she started to stir. It was fine at first, but the longer she took, it was getting difficult now. She bit her lip and set the bowl down on the counter and stirred like she was stirring a cauldron. She wouldn't dare go fast; she could get the mixture spilled on her.
"K-Kurumi..is this okay now?" she asked. She was a little unsure if the mixture looked fine now.
looking up from her work, Heather noticed an older-looking boy, leaning back at the counter. He seemed to be with Kurumi and Connor, and he looked sort of familiar. He gave her a smile-a warm one, maybe and she smiled back. She nervously waved a hand at him.
"H-hi." she squeaked. Maybe he's as nice as Connor is as well, so no need to be so ultra nervous around him; besides, he looks like he's close friends with Kurumi. Any friends of Kurumi are really nice people, since Kurumi is just the nicest and best friend she ever had-along side Cass, of course.
Connor knelt in front of Heather. "Well it's like this little one, Just as people come in all kinds of different sizes, so do magical bears. Theodore is about the size of Twinkle over there, and he wears a red and green patchwork vest and Green Corduroy pants. He told his little friend honestly. "Theodore came to me when I was two years old." He smiled.
He turned his attention to the large panda doll. "You have my word Pandaman." he smiled and bowed his head to his new friend. Quote:

"Twinkle, when you are done looking all dreamy can you grab me a few more ramekins, please?" she asked nudging the house elf gently with her hand.
Kurumi then turned to Connor and Hugo to see what was happening with them, the saucepan, and the apples.
The sweet smell of sugar and lemon filled the kitchen as Hugo's concoction came to a boil. "I have to admit, I thought the same thing," she giggling taking the spoon from Hugo and giving it one last stir. "I just didn't want to say it out loud. That is how I got a bone removed in Potions last term." After giving the pan's contents another stir, Kurumi scooped a tiny bit out, set it on a small plate, and taste tested it. "It's perfect," she nodded turning her attention to Connor now. "You can add the apples now."
Before getting back to prepping the ramekins, Kurumi walked over to where Heather was working and checked on her eggs. They still looked a bit soupy. "I think you need to beat them a bit more," Kurumi said picking up the spoon and watching the watery substance ooze off.
Kurumi then returned her attention to her task and began preparing the ramekins. She first made collars for each of them out of parchment folded each in half along its length and once more to give the ramekins a thicker piece at the base to stabilise the collar and then wrapped those around the ramekins and flicked her wand to charm the pieces to stay glued together.
With that done, she turned to the others to see how they were doing...and her stomach began to grumble.
Perhaps just one scoop of the chopped apples? Connor smiled and added the apples until the pan looked quite full. "Is this enough Kurumi?" He asked softly, then turning his attention to the trouble Heather was having with the egg whites, he smiled at her and said, "Is It ok if I help you? You might need a little more arm strength Little one." He stood behind her, leaning over her shoulder and placing his left hand over hers, His golden serpent ring glinting in the light, He helped her stir until the egg whites formed a stiff Meringue. He then took the bowl over to Kurumi. "How's this?
