"That's okay, I actually have another employee in the same sort of situation. Little green dragon, stops by when he's got free time and nothing to do. He's a gardener at the school, takes classes, and his dad wants him to keep his grades up. Now let's see how that pizza's coming along, nice and crisp hopefully." Crimson carefully slipped the pizza out of the oven on its tray and checked the crust, giving it a light tap. "Nice, looks like it turned out great."

* I think I heard of him. he sounds like a sweet boy. he look a bit like me only that my father don't really care how I am doing in school he only need me to run his company when he got to old. But I kind of don't want to do it.* She look at her now she know if she ask about it that she will tell her all she know. * mm it looks great let me cut it out.* She find a pizza knife. she smell that. It smell like being home at her grand mother when she mad food

"No other siblings that might actually want to take on the burden of whatever his business might be? No way you could hire trusted family friends to basically do it all for you? Well maybe in time he'll see that your happiness should be the first thing on his mind and not his business. Some of those places out there like that are really vicious, they go right after anyone that takes over and try to get rid of them." Oh how accurate she was without knowing it. Crimson was referring to normal businesses that had a bunch of greedy cutthroat people in them but it worked just as well for her guest's sort of family too. "Well dig in, have as much as you like and any leftovers I'll finish myself. Would you like a drink with it?"

*No I am the only child he got and in some way he don't trust my mother to run it or one of his brother or one of my cousins. I have told him that I don't want to do it. And when he said. Do as I say and shut up. It is like he think I am just like him. But I am not completely like him* She gently whip one tear away. She hat never cried in front of someone before.* Well I like a alcohol free drink. And I love them spicy if you can make it. And if you want to taste it I can share it whit you*

"Sure I can do that. Sounds like he's a bit paranoid, and won't take No for an answer. That's usually where dragons would get into a fight to try and prove that he'd have to accept your opinion, but, that's a different culture I suppose, and you can't just invite someone like me in to tell him for you. Well at least for a little while you don't have to play the role of his servant, you get to be yourself while you're here. Even if that doesn't go outside this restaurant, in here you're your own person okay?"

Bella runs over to her and give her big warm hug she was so happy that she could have a safe spot here if her father would give her a visit. *Well have you ever seen a real cat fight? If you take that and multiplies it by ten you got a look of how I think it will end. I have try to told my mother that but it is like she want to support my father more than me. And I can see why she is really scared about him too*She gently let go of her hug.* oww sorry it was just like the kitty was running wild. If you know what I mean* She use to say that every time she got a little to careful. She did not know if it was to much for her she hat only know her for some hours. And you are not a little kitty anymore she could still hear her farther say in her mind.

"Hehe, it's okay, I'm like that too sometimes and I'm a lot older than you are. I wouldn't worry about him right now, he's not here and you are, so you get to have at least a little freedom from his rules. Maybe he expects you to do things, but you do them on your time not his. If he wants you to run on his schedule then he'll just have to figure out how to be in two places at once, and one of them better not be in my kitchen, hehe." Very few people scared Crimson anymore, and the few that did never came around her restaurant anymore so she didn't even worry about it. Here she was the strongest force, nobody could mess with her in her kitchen.

Bella smiled at her she did fell like a kitty in a warm basket.* well thank you. By the way don't think I give you my name. I'm Bella that is Italian for beautiful. Just a fact if you like to know.* She take one of the pieces of the pizza and starts to eat at it. *mmm It is really good not that I think that you could make it taste good whiteout my help.* She smiled at her she love the taste of the fresh tuna. And it was really crispy so that was a good part too

"Nice to meet you Bella, it's a very appropriate name for you. I'm Crimson, hehe, and I'm sure your help made the pizza that much better than it could have been. Or at the very least it was more fun." She took a slice and ate it happily, enjoying their work together. She was a confident one, very proud of her skills, and the dragoness could easily relate. To her it was a good thing, but others might not agree so readily, others like Athos.

*Well I have been doing It for many years. So I guess I did have a nanny that have bring my talent out of me even if I only was five years old.* She smiled at her and she acutely remind Bella of that nanny so that just got to be a good thing. * And yes I guess I was lucky that my name and my look match good together. Not that I am too diva but every girl like to look pretty sometimes. Am I right?* she smiled her hope she not think Bella was one of the cats that will die if she got her fur dirty

"Oh of course, and once in a while we all want someone to drool over us a little right? Even better if they drool over the food you can make too." Crimson knew exactly what she meant, and was the same way. Nothing wrong with looking pretty, or having people admire you, but you didn't have to be one of those princesses that cried if you got a spot of dirt or something on you. Or broke a nail or claw, or anything like that.

* you are so right I would say that if were my nanny as I was little you would be the best . * she was sure that if she was working as her nanny she would be be the best. She take the last Pizza slice and break it into tow.* Here you go you can have the other hafe* Her mouth water was running a little bit and she take a small drink form her drink. It was nice to taste a little bit of spicy in her drink. Every time she was getting a spicy drink it was always a little bit of sweet in it

"Hehe, thank you. If I had been then maybe once in a while your dad would have learned he couldn't pull the old "Do as I say" on you whenever he wanted." Crimson took the offered piece of pizza and loved the taste. Of course she was one of the people that made it so it had to be good, but her guest Bella did a great job helping out. Though speaking of all that nanny stuff it did remind her that she should probably check on the kids upstairs in a little while. And she was surprised her little girl Scarlet hadn't come down yet to see if she could help.

Bella smiled at her. She was really kind to her. * what about you do you have wife and kids? you don't have to say anything if it is a sad story.I hat personal never hat one and have never seen a reason to get one. I guess I'm just not ready to have one. or at least my daddy did not think I need one. so all my friends he scared away if I have one over to play.* she look at her she probably did have the best man in the world. and the prettiest kids too. at least she think that

"Well the long story cut short, I had a wonderful husband, a siberian tiger, and he was killed in action. We have five kids though, and they're all growing up with a bunch of "Uncles" and I've started dating someone but not sure how fast it'll develop. The kids are actually in their rooms upstairs, the floor's nicely soundproofed so the noise from the restaurant doesn't cause them too much frustration. I'm sure if you ever have a family they'll be wonderful and they'll all be proud to be with you." The dragoness smiled and got herself a small drink, glancing briefly out into the still vacant dining area.
