[It's not like she's ACTUALLY going to beat someone to death with a pan. It's called intimidation.]

Yeah, I'll get right on that after I finish with my normal duties and doing an extra count of the inventory and replacing what we're lower on now than we're meant to be. I'm sure I'll have plenty of free time left to play detective then.

[el_tybs]

[It's super effective.]

We can get someone else to set it up, I wasn't suggesting that you do it yourself necessarily.

Isn't there anyone in the kitchen or elsewhere helping you with all that?

[thecookery]

Course there is. Doesn't mean it's not still a lot of work. Do you have any idea how much food you lot go through?

[el_tybs]

Would it surprise you that I know? A lot of the staff come to the healers from time to time and you hear things.

[Or when he visits the kitchen from time to time to bake something without being in the way. He also knows about demanding jobs.]

Even a small army would make a lot of stress, and we're not exactly small anymore.

[thecookery]

Well, there you go then. Sounds like you get the idea.

[el_tybs]

So if it were me I'd hire someone who can make and setup traps.

By hire I mean bribe.

[Or would it be threaten in this case?]

[thecookery]

If I've got to. If they don't just listen.

[el_tybs]

That would be good.

[Threats considered.]

What are they stealing again? Preserves?

[thecookery]

Among other things. That one's just the most obvious right now.

[el_tybs]

Wonder if they're taking bread or something to go with that. Otherwise preserves seems a bit random.

[thecookery]

Could be. Could just be someone with a sweet tooth.

[Maybe one of the refugee children? When you're little and you've been going hungry, the real kind of hungry, sometimes you just take what you can get that tastes good and you don't worry so much about whether you're eating it the right way.]

[el_tybs]

Preserves are pretty good, that is certainly true.

[As someone with a sweet tooth he can understand that, though his tastes were more in the actual fruits then the spreads.]

Well if I can anyone jam handed I'll be sure to let you know.

[Terrible joke, he knows. Sue him.]

[thecookery]

[The terrible joke earns a long pause, followed by a put-upon:]

Thanks.

[el_tybs]

[Don't tell him you weren't expecting someone to say it. Calmed down a bit at least?]

But seriously. If you need any help I'll be at the healer tents or the forge.

[thecookery]

Sure. I might do that.

[...she probably won't. Sorry, bro.]
