cozytober2024: 7. The Smell of Fresh Baked Goods

"You do understand you're paying us a kings ransom to what amounts to burnt cookies," Shatina asked Magda, still skeptical.

"They might not all be burnt," Carlos, wearing what was clearly one of the maid's flouncy white aprons, says like a damned optimist. Carlos wasn't an optimist, being around Magda just made him stupid.

Magda gently took another sharp utensil from Gocheau and patted him on the arm. "Back when we first had the mercenary tea party, I just thought it would be fun to spend some time together like this, just doing something fun without the weight of expectation," she smiled, and damn if that smile didn't do things to Shatina. No wonder she made Carlos stupid. "And now that things have changed, I have the means to treat you all for once, so yes, a king's ransom. Because I earned it." Various mercs laughed from around the kitchen, even Mona, who'd been clinging to Magda's arm ever since they'd been introduced, managed a smile. Bethala had been the only one to get banned from the kitchen outright. She simply couldn't help but stick everything edible she touched into her mouth. One of the harried house staff could be heard from the dinning room, trying to placate her with tea and sandwiches. Those poor fools.

"I, for one, am honored to be invited," Carlos piped up. Shatina tried to glare him down, but he was too busy making eyes at Magda to notice. She signaled Mona, who burst into tears in a moment, pulling all of Magda's attention away from Carlos. Ha!

Shatina slapped the back of Gocheau's head when she started getting thoughts about chopping fingers bleeding into her head. "Would you stop trying to cut things," she snapped. Shatina grabbed the kitchen knife from Gocheau and switched places so he was getting gross goo under his fingernails, mixing dough. Shatina went at the apples with a vengeance.

Magda looked over her shoulder. "Ah, slime might be too fine a consistency for a pie." They both looked at the sludge the fruits had turned into. "Maybe that means we don't have to cook them, since they're already gooey?"

"That's not how that works!" called Bethala from the dinning room. She was the only one of this lot that knew how to cook. Too bad she was too much of a bottomless pit to be a chef.

Michelia let out an unholy screetch as she tripped trying to squeeze past Magda and Mona, dropping a bag of flour almost heavier than she was. Like a massive explosion it spread through the kitchen in a thick white wave.

Magda's head chef finally kicked them all out, since, apparently, flour is flammable and they'd rather the kitchen not turn into a smoking crater. The mercenaries were all shuffled outside to several blankets that had been laid in the garden under the autumn leaves. Harried looking house staff tossed them some greens to mix into a salad, that being the only thing they couldn't possibly ruin, and ran off to save dinner.

Carlos was no longer wearing the apron. It had been, admittedly, one of his better ideas since he was only mostly covered in flour, as opposed to everyone else's completely covered in flour.

They could smell pies, cookies and cakes being fixed in the kitchen. Shatina leaned over to ask Magda, "Are we still getting paid?" Magda laughed and agreed so Shatina yelled, "Job well done!" The rest of her group cheered in response, and even Magda joined in.

From Helix Horizon: “Colonel Luer ever served in Knights Amber, later he quitted because of his discordance with the captain. After leaving the knights, he established Border Guard at the request of Lynn Gwen the Deputy President. He laid down his ornate knight spear and equipped a simple blade, and set out to pick young men to join Border Guard. Later, Luer met Aaron, a passionate and kind-hearted boy, who didn't know how to refuse others. Luer likes Aaron and started to cultivate him. Also because of Aaron, Luer raised his hope for the future again. By the way, Colonel Luer likes Jewell very very much.”

Colonel Loire (Luer) of the Guardsmen is actually a very prominent character in Helix Horizon. In Helix Waltz, he’s still a mentor figure to Alan (Aaron) and in Shatina’s (Shatyna) bio it mentions that she and Loire are familiar with each other, but he’s only mentioned three times and has no character sprite.

In HH Loire was a former nobleman who founded the City Guard himself. The nobles of Finsel (Vanssal or Verselle) didn’t want to volunteer their own knights or family to take care of smugglers on the borders, so they passed the issue onto Linglan’s (Lynn Gwen) father who organized the border guard. Loire was given charge of the border guard because of his position in the Senate and former affiliation with the Amber Knights, which nobles believed meant he would act in their interest rather than the interest of the people. Loire then made himself a problem by giving up his social position in order to guarantee the Guardsmen’s neutrality. This makes sense in HW as he has to go about sweet talking money out of nobles to get funding for the Guardsmen on top of the very small salary the City Assembly allows them. He’s become notably popular among noblewomen for this reason. In HH he supplemented the budget by entering Alan into an underground fighting arena and “confiscating” gear from arms dealers smuggling weapons over the borders.

The reason the Guardsmen won’t take part in Senate factionalism or be bribed is so they can remain defenders of the public, something they could not do were they beholden to the Senate. This has made them very unpopular to some in the Senate who actively seek to break up the Guardsmen. In HH Loire nearly gets assassinated because of his interference in the Four Families’ plans.

Linglan (Lynn Gwen) was talked into giving Loire her worst property, Number 37 on Square Road, in HH so that he could turn it into the Guardsmen barracks. Linglan mostly agreed because she didn’t think it was salvageable, which made her the City Guard’s landlord. It’s likely that Loire and Linglan do not have this relationship in HW as it would put him in the debt of the City Assembly and Chamber of Commerce and would give Linglan more power over the City Guard.

In HH Loire ends up being a bit of a softie, falling just as hard as the rest of the Guardsmen for Jiu’s (Jewell) childish charm, even after he was initially wary about housing a Sulla child during the war. He had always wanted a daughter and spoiled Jiu whenever possible, even more so than Alan. He’s also mentioned to be romantically interested in the elf Mica. Mica is an elf mage and the only non-Sulla (Sura) resident of the Sulla Forest. Formerly a Senate guard, she left the city to become a hermit because her ability to converse with forests meant she found the trees in the city to be boring. She rarely uses spells and instead devoted her life to making herbal medicines for nearby villages.
