Chapter Text
"Where'd Sarai go to?" Rayla asks, checking Sarai's bedroom.
“No idea, she never disappears unnoticed though.” Callum responds, not very worried, moreover confused on why she just disappeared.
“I think she might be in the kitchen. She’s been spending a lot of time there.” Opeli chimes in.
“Why’d she be there right now?” Callum asks.
“I’m not sure, find out yourself.” Opeli shrugs.
The two went to the kitchen, confused.
On their way there, Rayla took a deep breath.
“What’s that smell?” She asks.
“I’m not sure, but it sure seems delicious” Callum responds, confused, but excited to try whatever was going on in that kitchen.
They burst into the room to see Sarai with jellybug, mashing biscuits with hot brown morning potion.
“All this time…You were BAKING?!” Callum said, bewildered. Rayla just chuckled from behind her husband, going up to her to see where that smell came from.
“Yeah.” Sarai responded, confused by her parents outburst. She began to pour the mashed biscuits into a humongous tray, and added the leftovers to a smaller tray.
“Why?! It’s the king’s birthday tomorrow! Shouldn’t Barius be here?” Callum asks, while Rayla just stared in awe at her daughter’s skills.
“I’m not supposed to tell anyone this, but Barius was really sick, and he needs to stay home, at the worst timing ever. So now, I’m baking for king Ezran, but Barius has left a happy birthday note, and some doughie-o’s” She said, a fat grin on her face.
Before they could react, Soren burst in.
“What’s that smell? I’m hungry.” Soren said, and before he could even touch the cream in Sarai’s mixing bowl, she pointed to a box of day-old jelly tarts.
“Oh come on, that smells delicious.” Soren whined, Callum was silently laughing at him, he hasn’t changed one bit since he was a toddler. While Rayla stared at him, arms crossed.
“So, what’s all this for?”
“King Ezran’s birthday.” Rayla responded. “Barius isn’t feeling well, so Sarai’s making this thing.” She explains.
They eventually leave her in peace, and Sarai has time with Jellybug.
“Well, that was..an intresting reaction” She tells jellybug, who responds with a grunt and grabs a slightly stale jelly tart.
Sarai was done now, the biscuit at the bottom, cream in the middle, and more brown cream on top, topped with hot brown morning potion powder.
As if on cue, Soren burst in.
“Yes, you can have some, but bring mom, dad and Opeli too” Sarai tells him. “And DO NOT let King Ezran OR queen Aanya know about this.” She adds, preparing a smaller piece of the confection.
