"I must say, this meal is divine."
The seemingly out-of-place comment stunned the man's listeners once more. But that didn't stop him from raving about the food, "I would go on to say that you're as great as the best chefs money could buy. If the circumstances were different, I would've hired you in a heartbeat, Ania. Truly, an impressive meal. And though you've just begun learning from her, Puula, consider yourself blessed to have such a maestro sharing her secrets and skills."
No one knew how to respond to such comments. They were all still hung up on the new information. Except for Ania. Strangely, she was far too accustomed to the praise, enough so that it actually emboldened her.
"Why not just take away our clan and make me your personal chef? Wouldn't that be better than all of this?!"
