Why hello there!

[Snow White is in her kitchen, which is really pretty standard. This time, however, she's not surrounded by food that is being jarred, pickled, or dried. Her army of animal friends is around her, per the norm. The more observant will notice that Snow has on an apron and has several stray bits of dough and mixing bowls around her.]

Several friends of mine have asked, and I thought, well, why not offer it to everyone!

I would like to offer baking and cooking lessons to everyone who might want them, oh not these friends mind you [Snow gestures to her animals.] they already know how to cook! [Because of course they do]! I can teach you the very basics, or if you'd like, much more advanced lessons as far as I'm able to!

I think everyone should be able to cook. I can teach you how to cook outdoors as well! It's very easy to start a fire once you know the steps.

The only ingredients we won't use are apples, but if there's anything else you've always wanted to learn, I'd be happy to try and help you!

[A songbird tweets something and she turns to look at them.] Hmm? Price? I haven't thought of one, I'm sure we can figure something out. [In that, it will be very likely Snow will ask for nothing in return because she does that.]

I look forward to helping you on your cooking journey!

Oh... maybe it is called a baby grand because it is a baby fortune to have one! [Snow is only making a guess, while being a princess and living in a castle, she was a maid in her own home. She's only had luxury items after coming to Trench.] Oh, well, that's alright, learning to do something new has to start somewhere! So, I would be happy to teach you, Rose. Really, anyway I get to spend time with you is lovely to me.

Thank you, Rose. You especially make me feel cared for, I hope you know that? The dwarfs were the first to ever really treat me like a person and make me feel like a person. But you make me feel more than that, you make me feel special.

[that makes Rose grin] It could very easily be that exact thing! Honestly, the way some people like to put their wealth on display is positively obscene! [Rose no longer counts herself among them. when Father had died, it turned out that he had significant gambling debt and most of their estate went towards paying that off] Yes, I'm...don't laugh if I'm terrible at it at first. [but she knows Snow isn't that kind of person. and the rest makes her cheeks heat up in a blush] And...it's lovely to me, too.

[and she blushes even more pink. she's rather afraid that she resembles her namesake right about now] I, well...I'm glad to hear that I do. And, you are> special. You're so good and kind and beautiful. [and you bear what had to have been horrific treatment by your stepmother and remained good and kind, she wants to say]

I'm not going to laugh, I promise. If I do, it's only because we should both be having a good time. I like to sing, hum, or whistle while I work, that way the job gets done in a much more pleasant and quicker way! Sometimes I'll pretend that my broom is a dance partner and we'll sweep around the room! [Literally and figuratively.]

[At being called so many wonderful things, Snow White can only bow her head and blush.] Thank you. It means a good deal to hear it from you.

All right, that kind of laughter is entirely welcome! And...I'm much the same way, but with artwork. Not my own, I can't draw or paint to save my life! But the works of others. I like being able to focus on what an artist has to say through their work...at least what I think it is they're trying to say. But if you like, I can take you somewhere we can dance sometime?

[and Rose blushes, too] Well, I'm--I'm simply being honest?

Oh, yes! Let's dance together! I love to dance almost as much as singing. And most of the artwork in my old home were portraits of nobility or the former kings and queens. Oh, or tapestries!

Thank you, truly, especially for your honesty.

So do I, but I'm a fair sight better at dancing! We'll need to find somewhere which plays the music you're used to and I'm used to and dance all night! And, there's so much art to show, so much more. Perhaps we could meet at the library in Gaze and I could show you books containing the artwork? I think you'd love Monet and Degas in particular.

I..try to be honest?

I shall be happy to look at any paintings with you. I actually have seen one or two more modern ones. I was looking up something, I don't quite remember what, but... Oh, there was a painting in a picture book I saw, it was about a princess. And... oh, it was one of the most beautiful things. The princess had hair nearly as black as mine and skin almost as pale, but what made me stare at it for what must have been... well, I can't even say, was that her dress was one of the most beautiful blues I had ever seen in my entire life. It wasn't just that the dress was a pretty blue... The painting... the fabric looked so real in the picture book, Rose, I thought I could reach out and touch it and I was so sure I'd feel silk and satin instead of canvas. I wish I could remember the name of the painter, I'm sure you know them! But yes, let's look at art together, let us do all sorts of things together!

It's a good thing to try to be, I try to be too.

That's a lovely portrait. I wish I could remember the artist for I'm certain I've seen it before. But, I must say that the girl in the painting isn't--isn't half so lovely as you. However, perhaps someone would be willing to make a dress for you which looked like that? And we shall, we'll do all kinds of things together. I'd ask you to tea, but I'm still getting the knack of it, unfortunately. I do have wood-burning fire, which I'm far more used to.

You are. [lovely] honest.

Oh, wouldn't that be wonderful? You know Madam Generosity gave me a beautiful red gown, it was so lovely, but I AM very fond of blue too! I made my corset the same color.

And I'll make the tea, Rose until you learn how!

Thank you.

Really? Red would be so striking on you, given how black your hair is and how pale you are. And you'd get to still wear your hair ribbon. But, blue would be lovely on you, too. I have a feeling you're the sort of person who can make anything look beautiful.

Thank you, I appreciate it! At least until I get better. [she says with a blush]

You think so? I've no idea what would and wouldn't look good on me. But I do like red. But anything that lets me still wear my bow does make me happy! Oh, you make me feel all flushed! You're the one who could wear anything and have your beauty shine through! Your red hair alone is just so beautiful!

Yes, of course I do! And, if you like, we can go shopping sometime? Granted, my idea of modern fashion is a bit out of date, but you'd look amazing in some of the clothes I had from home. And...I do, too. But now you're making me blush! Thank you for...saying what you did.

I think your modern may still be much more modern than mine. I haven't really seen most of the fashion I grew up... anywhere. Many French styles, though! You know, if I may make a confession, I love your curls, they always looks so soft, and the way it falls around your shoulders, it's one of the many things I find stunning about you.

Perhaps, but there's this one dress in particular, it was a deep wine red with black beading and a small train. I wish I had that dress so you could try it on. And everyone knows the French are best at fashion. <small[and she winks]</small> Oh--and, really? Thank you. I'm...rather proud of them, actually.

Maybe it will wash ashore and we can restore it! Or if you can get me a picture or a drawing, I could make it! I've never tried my hand at bead-work, but for you, I would happily give it a try!

My hopes are for it to wash ashore, I'd never dream of asking you to take on such an undertaking. It was beaded from top to bottom, it would take months of work! [thoughtfully] Months of someone's work I did not appreciate at the time.

Well, you can appreciate it now. Simply because you didn't do it then doesn't lessen it's value now that you know better. But still, I would love to see you in that gown. And maybe the gown I once saw at one of my stepmother's balls will appear. It's the dress I based my blue, yellow, and red ones on. Oh, it was one of the loveliest gowns I've ever seen.

Really? It must have been beautiful. Perhaps there should be a ball here?

Wouldn't that be so exciting? I know all the court dances even though I couldn't attend. I wish I could show you the dress somehow.

And I know the ones from my time, but didn't get a choice. I had to attend. Getting to is fun. Having to isn't. But...yes, I do wish I could see it.

Well, if Trench won't hold one, perhaps we should make one!

Really? You think other will want to go as well?

We won't know if we don't ask! And the worst we can be told is that we'd want to do it alone.

I can think of worse things, than to have a ball with you alone.

[She giggles, suddenly quite fond of the idea of having Rose all to herself.] Maybe we should forget to ask.
