When he looks towards Olly, it is out of the corner of his eye, lips pulling up in an amused smile. "I hope you're giving the stew equal attention."

In a pie dish, he pressed in a layer of pastry in preparation for the filling. Satisfied with his work, Qifrey dusted a little flour from his fingertips. "You're remarkably diligent," he began, pausing briefly as he stirred the fruit, "...when it comes to watching me."

Without looking, Qifrey could sense those occasional glances cast his way, quietly smiling to himself while working on his own task. Cherries were added to the pot, along with the other necessary ingredients, and set to simmer.

"They're a little tart, but if you judge them too quickly, you'll miss the sweetness." He let his gaze shift and settle on Olly, before busying himself by measuring flour into a mixing bowl, giving the other witch some space to recover. "Perhaps you can return to the stew while I work on this."

‍ ً𝗝𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡. ‍ @netherlamp.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

Qifrey watched the blush spread across Olly's face with quiet fascination. The shy smile, the lowered gaze, the faint blush colouring his cheeks... It unexpectedly difficult to look away. "...You're welcome." Plucking a shiny, red cherry from the basket, he held it up between his fingers.

‍ ً𝗝𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡. ‍ @netherlamp.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

"Perhaps I did," he retorts, voice carried on a light chuckle. Qifrey gave a thoughtful hum as he considered which type of pie they (yes, th͟e͟y͟) could make. "Hm... How about a cherry pie? They are deliciously in season at the moment, slightly sour and perfectly sweet." ... "Just like you." ☺️

He let the silence rest between them, before following Olly's change of subject, recognising the sudden pivot for exactly what it was. "Dessert sounds nice." A hint of amusement returned to his voice, stepping beside Olly and reaching for a mixing bowl. "I assume I'll be making that as well?"

‍ ً𝗝𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡. ‍ @netherlamp.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

There was a softness to his smile that he made no attempt to hide. "In that case, I'm relieved the arrangement suits us both. You needn't sound so surprised. I've enjoyed your company for quite some time."

"Oh? You define dignity by the hemline? Then I assume your objection will disappear the day you graduate and your robes become ankle-length." Hehe ☺️

"I wasn't referring to your actual teacher. You're wearing 𝒎𝒚 apprentice uniform." He raised a brow at the comment that followed, casting a glance over Easthies' form.

‍ ً𝗝𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡. ‍ @netherlamp.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

How wonderful! He's circling around him(self?), checking him(self?) from head to toe. Incredible! "Olly would love to see this."

000

‍ ً𝗝𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡. ‍ @netherlamp.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

Easthies looked catastrophically unhappy, which wasn't new but this was impressive levels of displeasure. "And certainly in respecting your teacher. But everyone has room to grow." A pleased smile, reaching out to adjust how the cloak sat on him. "Ah, perfect. You look positively distinguished."

000

‍ ً𝗝𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡. ‍ @netherlamp.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

That's right. There could be one or more of his darling apprentices hidden beneath his cloak. ☺️ (There isn't, but they are never too far away!) "Pity. You'd make a rather striking apprentice. Of course, you'd require extensive lessons in patience... and perhaps smiling."

‍ ً𝗝𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡. ‍ @netherlamp.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

"If it helps..." he began, the words trickling out like a purling stream now that he had started, "I don't dislike doing this with you." The confession was unembellished, offered as naturally as though he were commenting on the weather. "The cooking is only half the reason I'm here."

010

‍ ً𝗝𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡. ‍ @netherlamp.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

His words and tone were gentle, spoken with the confidence of someone who knew Olruggio inside and out. "And that isn't the face of someone who's offended." His voice held a hint of fond amusement, turning his attention back to the pot.

‍ ً𝗝𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡. ‍ @netherlamp.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

A quiet laugh escaped him, a soft and easy sound. "You make it sound as though I've wounded you." Sitting the wooden spoon in the side of the pot, Qifrey turned to face him fully, the warmth in his expression unguarded as he met Olly's lingering gaze. "I'd know if I had."

He looked up once he noticed Easthies had returned, very clearly trying to contain his amusement. "Don't be so hard on yourself. I think you'd look dashing as one of my apprentices." Just rubbing a little salt in the proverbial wound.

‍ ً𝗝𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡. ‍ @netherlamp.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

Without looking at the other, Qifrey lit the stove and placed the pot over the live flame, a clear thread of amusement woven through his tone when he next spoke. "I accept your denial in the same spirit in which it was offered." A pause... "Entirely unconvincing, but appreciated nonetheless."

010

‍ ً𝗝𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡. ‍ @netherlamp.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

He glanced at Olly, expression calm but still lightly amused. "If I am ever drowned by vegetables, I’ll concede you were right. Until then, I’ll continue trusting them more than I trust your sense of probability."

110

‍ ً𝗝𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡. ‍ @netherlamp.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

Another thoughtfully considered pinch of herbs sprinkled into the pot.

010

‍ ً𝗝𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡. ‍ @netherlamp.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

"You've had me chop the vegetables, and now you're trusting me with the seasoning." A small, knowing smile tugged at his lips. "At this rate, Olly, I suspect you're simply finding increasingly creative ways to have me cook the meal for you."

110

‍ ً𝗝𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡. ‍ @netherlamp.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

Qifrey blinked, before letting out a soft huff that was almost a laugh. "I don't hate vegetables. They're considerably less inclined to try and drown me." Qifrey reached for the spices without complaint, studying them for a moment before measuring out a careful pinch.

‍ ً𝗝𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡. ‍ @netherlamp.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

His eye narrowed, casting a cold and sharp glare at him once the girls were mentioned, before his expression transformed into one of manufactured ease. "I know you don't mean that, Easthies~!" he called out to his back once he began trudging off.

‍ ً𝗝𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡. ‍ @netherlamp.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

The steady rhythm of chopping filled the kitchen for a moment before he slid the bowl of precisely chopped vegetables toward Olruggio. "So, Chef. Anything else your assistant to do?"

010

‍ ً𝗝𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡. ‍ @netherlamp.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

Qifrey glanced sideways at Olruggio with a warm, teasing smile. "As for whether I have the abilities..." He held up a perfectly even handful of diced carrots. "I'd like to think I've mastered this much."

110

‍ ً𝗝𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡. ‍ @netherlamp.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

Qifrey let out a quiet, amused huff, the corners of his mouth lifting as he reached for the cutting board. "So that's the great emergency." He rolled up his sleeves without another complaint, and began cutting the vegetables with practiced, precise movements.

Handing him his apprentice's signature uniform; the cream dress, teal cloak and matching cap.

Richeh was not a fan, thus he tended to make them a less notable presence in her dishes. "You seem to have a handle on things, what is it you need help with?" Seasoning? Emotional support?

010

‍ ً𝗝𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡. ‍ @netherlamp.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

"I’ll reserve judgment until I see the pot." Gently teasing, he moved around him with practiced ease, peering into the pot and clutching his chin as he examined the progress. "Perhaps the veggies could be a little smaller."

110

‍ ً𝗝𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗡. ‍ @netherlamp.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

(Dickhead 😒) Please be more careful in the future, Easthies.

(Feigned shock, gently placing his hands over Coco's ears.) Oh, my. Kindly refrain from using such language in front of the children. (Arsehole 🙄)

"Coming, coming." He appeared within moments, as though he were already halfway there when he was summoned. "Let me see what you’ve done first."

(His thoughts are very loud all the same.) [ (¬_¬) ] ( ◜ᴗ◝ )✨ You’re very expressive today, Easthies.
