For once it was a slow day at the restaurant and its owner and head chef was spending time out in the dining area. The two customers left in here were just heading out, now she was just waiting for some business and maybe a new face or two. Sitting at the greeting stand, tail swaying back and forth slowly, smoothing out her apron, Crimson could actually say she was bored at the moment.

Bella was down in Foxford looking for something to shop for school and she was finally finish when her stomach starts to rumple a little bit. She was really hungry. * Hmmm maybe I should go into the restaurant that fool was talking about.* She look around just to make sure he was not spying on her. She gently opened the door and look in the almost empty restaurant. * hmmm not much life on this day.* She gently rang the bell to get some service. And maybe see if she could find that owner of this place

"Hello there, welcome to my restaurant. Haven't seen you before, new to the area?" Crimson smiled as she walked up to the customer holding a menu and offering it to her. "Plenty of choices for a seat at the moment, dinner hour's going to be crazy so consider yourself lucky you got in ahead of them. There's booths, tables, and a stool by the bar." Except this girl didn't look old enough to drink really but the bar didn't have to be just for drinking, it could just be a nice place to sit.

*Well I am...* she was thinking if she should tell her name she know how wrong it could get and if she was the Gossip person in the town she have to be careful.*a new student at the school* She smiled and walk over to a table near the kitchen and sit down. She smiled at her and look down the menu.* You make Italian food? Well just ask me if you need advice on making Pizza, Lasagna or what ever you make I am raised good whit Italian food. so know a thing or tow.* She did not want to make her look like she could not make food. But a little advise hat never hurt someone

"Good to meet you then. Every new student gets a free meal here so this one's on me. Hehe, of course I can make Italian food, anything you want I can cook it up perfectly. Or if you want since we're a little slow in here at the minute, you can come on back into the kitchen with me and we could make something together. It'd be fun, having every ingredient you could possibly want available and the full kitchen to work with." Crimson was extremely confident in her food but there was one little thing with Italian food as far as she'd seen. People were always very specific if they grew up eating it a certain way, one missing or extra seasoning could "completely ruin" a meal in their eyes. And sometimes they just might praise her enough and wish she had been their mom making food when they were growing up.

Bella smiled at her. She hat never ask to make food in a big restaurant. before. Well at least she could get some information about the wired teacher.* Well I be happy to show a trick or tow. But don't worry I am not one of the people that start to jell at the chef if it is bad. Only one time I was in Germain. But that pizza was so terrible that if I could eat my self I would do it.* She walks out in the kitchen wow it was really big. It hat every thing. Even something she could only dream about getting the money to buy. *Wow it is pretty. And really clean. Well that is a great thing* She was wondering if she should make her fav Pizza or maybe her Mothers special pasta whit souse and meat balls. But the souse was really secret. Almost as big as where the Mafia head coater was

"Thank you, I do take a lot of pride in this kitchen. I light the fires for the ovens myself every day. So what would you like to make? I was thinking a nice brick oven pizza would be good." Oh the dragoness had her own fair share of sauces and such, she had taken a lot of time to learn as many recipies as she could. Anything at all this guest wanted she'd oblige, and certainly had the materials to do so. Even if she had known her history the dragoness wouldn't have been bothered.

Bella was smiling really surprises that she mate her Pizza in the oven. * well my mother and grandmother recipe for the perfect pizza is really secret so if you want to know it you have to make sure it stays between you and I* She was not kidding for her family a recipe was not just a recipe. She take of her earrings and lay them on the table near the sink and starts to wash her paws. She take a look at some of the stuff. Looks like it could be a good pizza after all almost as tasty as her mothers

"Oh it would, there are other chefs here but I'm the one who owns the kitchen and the building. If I want something to stay secret it does. Hehe, of course I hear a lot of secrets around here and get to know a lot of people. So what do you usually do to start with? I hand make the dough, make the sauce, toppings all prepped fresh, build a pizza from the ground up not taking a shortcut or two." And she was proud of her skills. The best part about her kitchen in her opinion, not counting the people cooking, was probably using dragon fire to keep the ovens running. Cooked things quicker and without burning them, very surprising.

Bella smiled at her and folded her shirt sleeves up to the elbow.* Well I start making the sauce first it is the most importing thing to do in my family. And give it a few minuets to rest in. * she find some tomatoes and begins to smash them whit her paws.* now I love to put a little bit of garlic in it to and some milk and put it on the fire so it can get warm while the dough is getting ready.* She smiled at Her maybe she could get some information of the teacher of her.* Well sins you know a thing or tow about the city do you know anything about a teacher that hat been looking after me the hole day? I think he said he was a physics teacher* she help her whit making the perfect dough. And she was really hoping she could tell something. At least she could always do as her father dose when he wanted information. But she did not want to make her a bad name in the town.

"Looking good. I usually put in a pinch of another seasoning but not all the time. Depends on how much bite you want in the sauce. Hmm, physics teacher, oh Athos. What would you like to know about him?" She wasn't sure what anyone would want to know about the snake but she could try to keep this girl informed. It was hard to know what she wanted or why she wanted it, and the dragoness definitely didn't know how she might get to what she wanted. "He's usually a pretty nice guy."

* Well I like the sauce to be more smooth but sometimes I put peeper or onions under the sauce on the pizza* Well nice guy and nice guy. Sure she could be good and nice to him but she kind of got this mission. * Well almost everything. dose he have a wife kids? And maybe something he hat done before he got a teacher.* He hat to have done something before. Maybe a spy, or a criminal... or could he be in the mafia business. She smiled at her and try to make the trick when you take the dough and spin it around your paws to make it round

"It's your pizza so we make it your way, anything you want in it we can use. No wife or kids that I know of, and I was never told what he did before he came here but whatever it was I'm sure he was good at it. If I had a guess I'd probably say he was an engineer of some kind." The snake's past was a mystery to her but not to her brothers, all she knew was how he was always respectful and never caused any trouble when she was around. "Nice work so far, you've done this before haven't you?"

Bella begins to blush. She always do that when people say nice thing to her. *Well he look really interested in me when I came to the school don't really know why.* She know that she could not get that much information out of her about the teacher.* Well I do love to have tuna, shrimp and pineapple as topping. I usually never get it home at my family because my father don't like the smell of tuna. And it is him who set the rules so like tuna was like illegal in his house. It is a silly rule if you ask me* She lay down the Pizza. down and check if it was not to fat before she put some onions on. * Well back in Italy I was as a child teach by many nannies because my parents were busy. And one of them my fav learn me this. And I just trained it.*

"Oh, sometimes he can be a little obsessive as head of security. Athos is always careful to screen students and their families more than the headmaster does, always looks for trouble when usually there's none. Drake likes to trust in everyone, Athos wants to watch his back and make sure that trust doesn't get misplaced." The dragoness smiled, getting the toppings that her guest mentioned. "Do you like the processed canned tuna or an actual fresh tuna that you cut up yourself as a topping? It might have been a silly rule but I'm sure he had a reason of some sort for it. And glad you learned how to cook, it's amazing how many people have a talent for it and never know because they never try."
