Zac pouted when you mentioned that story and Envy smiled "I'd love to hear it. and sheperds pie sounds nice" Zac agreed and followed you both back to your house

She busied herself in the kitchen, finding the ingredients and preparing the equipment used, "Emi, do you want to show them around the garden?" she wanted the three not to bother her while she was cooking

Emi nodded and took the two outside.

Arico heated up the saucepan with oil trickled along it, adding a touch of salt to the oil, which she liked doing. While it slowly heated up on the lowest setting, she chopped some carrots finely with some onion, putting them into the oil and waiting for them to cook until soft as she turned up the heat. She then took out some meat only bought yesterday, lamb fresh from the farm, cutting it up into very fine rectangles and laying it neatly on top of the vegetables, careful not to let too much fat slip in. As a preference, she started mixing up a white sauce in a different pan before pouring it into the mixing, crushing a tomato and adding it's juice as a final touch. She looked at the remainder of lamb she hadn't used, the juices from the lamb had started sapping out so she scooped them up in a cup and put a small cups worth in for flavour. While this was all cooking, she cleaned the pan and got out a bowl, putting two skinned potatoes in, also fresh from the village, less than a few days old. She mashed them up, whisking them into a fluffy mess before adding some butter and milk to make it more creamy. She then took the mince out the pan, putting it into a large dish, evening it out. She spread the creamy potato mixture on top of it and put it in the oven to bake. She sighed, starting to wash up.

You soon have a delicious Shepard's pie ready. Emi, Zac, and Envy must have smelled it because you hear them tromping towards the kitchen

She laughed, "Emi, darling, help me prepare the table" she got out the Shepard's pie and laid it down on the counter, getting out a clean table cloth and laying it down on the table. She got out six plates with a smile.

Emi helps you out and even Zac pitches in. soon the lot of you are sitting down enjoying the food.

She had taken the rest of the vegetables for herself, getting up, she prepared two more plates of food from the remainder of the pie and took them upstairs, tapping on their elderly parents door before opening it and leaving the food on the bedside table before going back downstairs so the parents don't need ref sheets and Emi won't be abandoned.

When you come back Envy asks "So can I hear that story about zac and the first shearing?" Zac starts to protest that it isn't necessary but Envy quickly kisses him, smothering any words he was going to say. Envy then turns to you and motions for you to continue the story as though nothgin happened. Zac looks dumbfounded and stays quiet.

Arico had quickly moved her hands over Emis eyes, with a smirk, "So, it all happened years ago, we dragged him along.. he was boasting he wasn't afraid of anything. He had a friend back then who challenged him to sheep shearing and of course he accepted it without a second thought. Back then, he was short" she knew he hated being called short and waited for an onslaught, uncovering Emis eyes as she spoke, she didn't want him to see any kissing until he was older, because awkward questions would ensue.

Zac looked at you angrily "I was not short! I was adorably miniature!" he grumbled but Envy put an arm around him and Zac stopped talking he looked over at Envy 'is that what it takes to get affection out of you? emberassment from me?" Envy shushed him and continued listening to the story
