       [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.
