[Heartsfire] Hot Chocolate, Dear?

Glenna puttered about the kitchens, running one last check
before retiring for the evening. Sweeping a rag over the
counters, she looked about to ensure the klah pot wouldn't find
itself boiled to nothing or left cold, but she saw something
else. Hearing footsteps, she glanced up to see a shadow moving
about. In the entirety of Westwind, the one man or woman tall
enough to be the owner of that shadow was Haurchefant. What was
he doing awake? Glenna sighed softly before returning to the
kitchen. Finding her old tarnished tin, she set about making a
Pernese delicacy she knew was Haurchefant's favorite: hot melted
chocolate. It wasn't a complicated recipe, but the ingredients
were hard to acquire.
But tonight, Glenna was willing to pull out the stops for her
own little show, for affection's sake. After all, Haloneth had
risen and laid a fine clutch, though it was bound to make her
bonded worry and fret more than usual. As such, Glenna finished
making the sweet drink and poured it into a mug, topping it with
just a dash of sweet baking spice. Perfect. With care, she
picked up the drink and followed after the shadow belonging to
Haurchefant until they reached the Dining Lodge. "Och!" she
exclaimed at the pinched frown she spotted on his face. "Come
sit down, lad. I made ye some o' that warmed chocolate; yer
favorite." Set the drink down at one of the tables near the
glowing hearth, she pulled a chair for Haurchefant and dusted
the seat before patting it with a smile, inviting him sit with
her.

The sands were unbearingly hot again and Haurchefant was stiff
and sore from months spent sleeping on a cot near his nesting
Gold. While he would do anything for his dragon, he was reaching
limits, his muscles protesting, his body aching and he felt the
pressure in his head increasing from overheating. Thus, he rose
from his cot and walked outside, sighing in relief to the cool
night air. It was not long before his body craved sustance and
despite the late hour, he figured he could sneak inside and find
a snack.. perhaps make his favorite comfort drink... hot
chocolate.
However, it seemed Glenna was still at it in the kitchens. He
should have known, the woman was like him, always on the go and
always busy. That.. and by Faranth, she seemed to have him
pegged and figured out like the mother he never had. When she
called out to him, he offered a sheepish grin, he was busted!
" You are ever my heroine, Glenna my dear!" He said and hobbled
over and took the offered seat and then gestured for her to sit
as well. " If you can spare a moment, I would very much like to
sit in the company of the most lovely of kitchen goddesses in
all of Pern." He replied, grinning playfully.
