[Flashback RP] Apprenticeship (Sal/Na)

[Eight]

"Ha! Found it." She grinned, giving the hazelnut a triumphant shake with its lid replaced onto it again. However, when she turned she realized two things.

One, the coffee had stopped brewing again.

Two, in her search for the hazelnut she had mistakenly placed the not-hazelnut jars in the same place she'd kept the creamer and sugar.

"Damnit," she hissed.  

[Eight]

The brewer was ignited again, giving her time to search around. Luckily she found the sugar quickly, now she needed the cream...  

[Eight]

The cream was found, the sugar, the hazelnut. Everything was in order again. Feeling proud of herself, she turned to the coff--

Damnit!  

[Eight]

"Salbei needs new equipment," she muttered to herself as she turned the brewer back on. As she turned to collect everything again, a large beetle had at some point found its way into the room and had knocked everything to the floor. All of the jars were mixed again.

Golden eyes widened. She wanted to cry.

She picked up the jar of cream, putting its lid back on. Some of it had spilled in the crash.  

[Eight]

Cream found, now she needed the sugar and hazelnut again.

Ugh. No. That was salt..that was cocoa...

Where did it all go.  

[Eight]

"I swear the hazelnut only shows itself when it wants to be found. It has been here so long it has become sentient." Na'ima was quietly talking to herself, paying no attention to whether she was loud enough for Salbei to hear her whispers or not.

He likely could.  

[Eight]

"Did it grow legs and walk out?"  

[Eight]

"Cocoa powder is like hazelnut, right? Would it make much difference..?" Na'ima eyed the incorrect jar in her hand.  

[Eight]

The burner turned off. Again.

"It takes after its owner."  

[Eight]

It was only after turning the burner back on that she finally, finally found the hazelnut again. Finally.

"I need a way to label these."  

[Eight]

Na'ima turned away for one second, one second in order to look for something to label the jars with. When she turned back, the hazelnut was gone.

"What.."  

[Eight]

"Oh, there it is." Chuckling, Na'ima shook her head and then sighed, plucking the jar up off the floor.  

[Eight]

How long did coffee take to brew...  

[Eight]

Na'ima tapped her fingers on the counter. Waiting.  

[Eight]

((KICHY TOOK PITY ON ME))

When finally it sounded and smelled and..seemed like it had been long enough, Na'ima poured the coffee into the best looking cup she could find. One sugar, one cream.

What the hell was a hint of hazelnut. Na'ima still didn't know. She guessed, and then when that was finally done with she returned to Salbei's chamber, offering the cup out to him. "Do you always keep everything in unlabeled jars?"
