The chef's room

Samantha draws a tile and shows it to James. It was the chef's room with an event symbol.

Sammy : "I suppose it does make sense that this would be off of the servant's common room."

James still wasn't sure what the effects of Chef Barly's treat were but if it was connected to his distracting horniness since he ate it he was a little worried about what they'd find in the room. Sammy placed the tile and the lock of one of the five remaining doors clicked open.

Next Sammy drew a card from the event deck and read it allowed.

Something sweet for a midnight snack to sate deep hungers

Without giving James time to object Sammy walked over and swung open the door.

The bedroom was large and included a separated kitchen prep room where Barly was mixing up some ingredients. From what he said earlier this was preparation for breakfast. It might have been expected that someone who's bedroom door was suddenly opened in the night would be surprised or mad at the intrusion but Barly seemed to have almost expected them.

Barly : "Oh, mistress Samantha and... I'm afraid I haven't met your lovely friend. What a pleasure to see you so late in my chambers."

James : "Actually we've met, I'm James..."

Barly : "Oh, that lad who had one of Pervis's favorite treats?"

He looked closely at James, incredulous at his claim.

Barly : "Maybe so, but I can't possibly call such a lovely girl James."

James blushed deeply. Without asking first Sammy stepped in.

Sammy : "You can call them Jasmine for now if you need to"

James looked at Sammy as if betrayed but truthfully he wasn't mad about it. He kind of liked the way that name sounded.

Barly : "Jasmine it is then! How would you two like a midnight snack?"

Samantha's stomach growled involuntarily. It was getting late and she had skipped dinner.

Sammy : "That actually sounds really good..."

Despite having the snack earlier James was hungry too.

Barly : "The special ingredient must be mixed in during a kiss. How about a kiss for a hard working chef?"

Sammy would have been down but James or Jasmine's face immediately communicated that this was a step too far. Barly, reading the expression, offered a compromise.

Barly : "Or how about the two ladies kiss? I promise the dish is well worth it."

Jasmine and Sammy looked at each other. If an hour ago James had been offered the opportunity to kiss this pretty girl he would have jumped at the chance. Now, dressed as he was, he hesitated.

Sammy : "It's ok, I'll be gentle."

Her promise matched her gentle eyes
