The next week passed with ease, when I stopped to eat I would visits the hactchling, I had inquired to the outher keepers about him a and they told me that his parents were dead from trappers and had been caged for most of his hatching, and he didn't trust any of the villagers currently, I made it my duty as a mother and a dragon at that, to help this new hatchling, he slowly got used to me, he still won't come too close to me but will occasionally engage in a small conversation if he wants. Today however the healers had the dragons contained there hasn't been much injuries or ail was that they needed my help with and I've tried to take up some of my older habits, like cooking again.

Today I made one of my favored meals that eret loves too, when eret was little he called it a "warriors lunch" and that's what we called it, it was quite easy to make, and could be hot or made for the road,  there was drumsticks of any animal of your choosing, sweet molasses bread, aged Munster, hard boiled eggs and a mix of berries and nuts for a smaller snack before or after if needed. I decided that I would wrap the leftovers and deliver them to eret and hiccup who have been holed up in hiccups house talking about something, I left valka a helpeing for her in the kitchen and I had my own but that also meant that I had a larger portion left over.

Thinking about it I remember that Gobber said he doesn't have much time to cook when he's working and that means he probably hasn't eaten yet, smileing I pack up the rest of the helpings and place it at the bottom of the basket next to my own, decide if I'll stop at the armory last.

I drop off lunch at hiccups hut and eret nearly melts at the sight of his favorite meal, acting like an animal who has eaten eaten in years as he tears into it, I hand hiccup his and make my leave with a goodbye. Halfway to the forges I see valka pauseing to tell her that I left her some lunch in her hut whenever she has some to eat. Takeing a dee breath I make my way closer to the forges and soon it's in front of me, there's not much villagers here and I see Gobber running around and tinkering with various things. Grump is off to the side resting looking a lot better then last I saw him. Walking in I stand to the side out of Gobber a way, my basket that I had used to cary the luncheon at my chest.

" Gobber? "

With a start he turns and looks at me in surprise,
" OH sorry about that I din see ya there, now what can I help you with alayah? Did you finally get herself a dragon to ride?"

He turns to look at me and I laugh a bit, placing my basket onto the nearest and least clutterd table i strat to unpack the meals.
" well, no actually I'm here because I had some leftover luncheon and I remembered that you said you don't have much time to do anything out here outher then work so I figured I would give you it, that is of course if you don't mind me joining you?"

" ....oh, ahem well thank you alayah for the lunch, but I have many of things to get done and I, er would like to get them finished."
" oh come on Gobber, I'm fairest sure that your business won't be dwindled just because you took a few minutes to eat with me if anything it would help you in the end giveing you energy to finish them."
" oh alright, but only for a little bit"

Smileing I place out our lunches onto the table as he sits down and starts to eat, I wait for him to take the first bite to see if he likes it, a look of shock crosses over his face and he looked at me and then the leg in his hand, I frown worried that it isn't good.
" do you not like it? You don't have to eat it I can find something else if you want-"
" no no no! It's absolutely perfect alayah! This is probably the best meal I've had since my mums cooking, I love it thank you."

Takeing a deep breath I sigh happy that i didn't accedently poison him,

" I'm happy to har that, this is eret's favorite and I was worried I was out of practice cooking for outhers, now let's finish eating, maybe now you can tell me about that recipe you've been trying to get right."
