LOL! So we had the exact same thought process at almost exactly the same time. His assumption was warranted, it would seem! Once you get past the assumption that he is the devil incarnate Gavrel's really a sweet guy, after all. (He is going to be SO delighted when we get back. Because I'm totally going to find a way to tell him that we're dating. And maybe make him promise not to be too smug.)

Since I and the tag list had fun with the last set of Terrafell headcanons, here are some more, this time about cooking, because tonight I'm making lembas bread. (Gavrel's entry is canon but the rest are my guesswork.)

Gavrel: Canonically a fantastic cook. A bit eccentric in his tastes, but perfectly capable of making weird-sounding ingredients turn into a mouthwateringly delicious dish. Just make sure you tell him normal people are eating the meal too, or he might put cyanide in the beverages to carbonate them.

Atticus: Could be a very good cook if he wanted to, but he's not all that interested in it, so he wouldn't really pay attention to what he was doing. He might try to read spellbooks while cooking, which means there's always a slight risk that the food he makes will either be enchanted, or enchant you, in an unspecified way.

Furniture Man: He has servants for that, and his tastes are rather...odd...anyway. He would try if he needed to, but I don't think he'd be very good at it.

The Doc: He feels like a bachelor professor to me. Capable of basic meals but not all that interested in cooking.

Nik: Can grill with the best of them, makes a fantastic barbeque, master of the smoker, but does not do well in an indoor kitchen. Best at making dishes which involve loads of meat.

The Mysterious A.T.: Going completely off of vibes here, I'm going to say that he's an unexpectedly skilled cook, but specifically the special occasion variety of cook. He might flounder slightly over a basic meal but he can make a beef Wellington on autopilot.

So during all our conversations where I was going 'oh thank goodness someone else who knows my friend is human and can commiserate with me!' he was going 'oh thank goodness someone who will befriend Gavrel and follow him around so he can't die or she'll be in danger!'? (I am not sure we have managed a solid coping mechanism yet but we're at least reducing the self-destructive tendencies a little?)

Oof. I would volunteer to help with that if I weren't...otherwise occupied.

I've got to ask. *Was* he angling for me and Gavrel to end up dating? Or is this just a happy side effect?

Oh, yeah, he would hate being stuck behind a desk all the time. I almost feel sorry for him. Maybe we can recruit him for...plans...

Both good reasons!

We all gotta start somewhere.

People seem to get tetchy about repeated reblogs from the same people, for some reason. One of the OPs of a post I tagged Statue in also blocked me after a few reblogs.

OH NO

That's a big chainsaw, too. HELP! *runs to get Furniture Man and Nik and possibly A.T. if I can find him*

@letters-from-himring-hill Heheheheheh a gift for Atticus. >:)

[letters-from-himring-hill]

I am! It turned out very yummy, too. I'm quite pleased with it. (I used the recipe Bri reblogged a couple days ago.)

I am NEVER not going to tease Sock Police over his cooking with poison. (Which I'm sure is also awesome, if you have a high enough tolerance to not. Y'know. Die.)

I have since been informed that Atticus and A.T. are both bad cooks for external reasons (not members of the Cooks Guild, or something comparable) but that Furniture Man does indeed make an effort to mixed success. Bless him.

Nik is not new, but he's also not a member of the current party. I met him before I really started posting about Terrafell, and he's definitely going to make a return in future parts of the story, but I'm mostly just including him in the headcanons lists because I like him.

>.> That had better not cause us problems down the road...

OK, that's hilarious. It's going to be very funny (or very exasperating, depending on the reactions) when we all get back and A.T. and company realise that someone did make Atticus eat and look after himself, and that someone was Gavrel.

Well, it's sweet of him to try! Maybe we can get him some cooking lessons at some point. Get him to the point where he can cook a steak without burning it. XD

...okay, point, weevils do just sort of happen and you have to deal with them whether you want to or not.

I'll have to make sure the cyanide shaker is properly labelled, then, to avoid incidents!

Ah, of course, I forgot about the restriction on Guild Masters. (Are you telling me that the very man who warned ME about some kind of insanity when I took one (1) single recovery potion was in fact being an awful hypocrite? XD Also are you telling me that Gavrel and I (but largely Gavrel) are standing in for the people who normally make this child eat?)

Poor Furniture Man. I know exactly who he was trying to impress too. XD Fortunately this individual probably understood and appreciated the effort regardless of the outcome.

I had also forgotten about Doc's past; that makes sense. I'm never letting him near the cooking fire without supervision, though, because weevils are NOT a protein source I want to eat.

Ooh, good point. I bet you're right. Atticus is (or at least has the potential to be) an excellent baker. Now, if only I could get him and Gavrel to share a kitchen without stabbing each other with the chef's knives, we could have one of the best dinners in Terrafell!

Very mysterious of you.
