One's effort another person's result it was a wonderful thing to experience. They both had a feeling of bliss form these interactions. Mary having a moment of being alive, Her smile seemed to show that Judith's smile was not her generally being a bright up person, But one showing spreading joy was something she considered important."Oh what a delightful smile."Judith could not help but comment She seemed just as she normally was.

Mary was ready to press forward and Judith for once she had for a very moment was going to back down."You are welcome in my house Mary."Judith said she would walk towards her own front door and open it."Please come in."It was small enough for Judith and her husband. The living room had pictures. It would be a picture of Judith's children and all of the people she was connected too. Her husband, both of her sons, her daughter, her adopted daughter, Three people who  She had no mentioned yet, Alice and her two children. All across various pictures in her living room, Along with three comfortable chairs and two massive book shelves.

With two hallways that lead else were, The next open room was Judith kitchen and a window and a door to her backyard. Her kitchen was about medium size with the smell of fresh herbs and spices because Judith would most likely be able to grow them easily."Everything you could need to learn are here."Judith mentioned walking into her kitchen."Do feel free to look at my house and get use to it before we settle into the cooking lesson."Judith said being happy with getting a new book, As well as she no longer had any of her plants on her they had gone away. Judith would  be humming another happy tune while she was letting Mary get comfort and happy in her home.

Did Judith just unleash an unspeakable awkward human upon her family unknowingly? Yes did she care if anyone did actually ask her about it? not really. Judith wanted her children to have new friends, also the same for Mary, In a twisted way of her own her mind, If her and Mary continued to get along Judith may try and get Mary to try and date at least one of her children, Why because Judith was a harsh mother that way wanting her children to move forward in life.

That was just in her mind."Down pours~ And Waterfalls~ So wonderful~ To see it all~"Judith was actually singing a song, her musical humming was not just a cover it was covering her actual singing voice, A well trained one at that went along perfectly with each hum she had done and match the actual note.

She would repeat the words she sung while gathering things a: A cutting board being placed, A few knives, Various vegetables and a already prepared chicken. A small container was also placed."Maybe Chicken and rice soup?"her singing  just cut off to her wondering that. Judith then would go find a medium size cooking pot.

When Mary asked her question about a knife."As long as you can safely handle it."most likely odd to hear but you did have to be careful with a knife   Judith then after placing that pot down, Would come walk over to her an area of the kitchen where she stored  various kind of breads, Mary could see that Judith walk over and place what looked like a home made loaf of bread.

So Judith would have to think about how to show Mary how to start the process."But just in case let me show you."She Judith would walk over to the cutting board pick up one of the knives. Picking up a carrot, One that would seem to need a few parts slightly cut off."You take it slow at first, make sure you fingers are away from the blade, make sure the knife straight and cut quickly to ensure it is clean."With explaining that Judith manage to get two cuts within her explanation.

Judith would then bring what she was using an example over to Mary and then take a step back to let Mary stand in."I will be not too far away just to make sure your safe."Judith as always did not show a single show of judgement but was waiting to see how Mary went to do this.

It was something never expected,Judith's continual and never ending faith in some one learning to do better."Can be lovely, simple to make and soup is always nice on a cold raining day."Judith was agreeing with Mary on this. More because Mary seem and wanted to do this completely with how she was starting off everything seemed to be working nicely,

This would also be a test for Judith as well since Mary was trying and it was not really working exactly as she hoped, But Judith should have expected this. that was the balance of teaching new people. Judith would not mention but she did hope Mary would have been a bit more careful.

The moment she saw Mary cut into her that smile just stopped for a moment, To a bit of worried one. Nonetheless Judith had an idea for this. It would still take a bit more work, Judith was not about to give up."Oh you had a understanding for the most part,But I have an idea."Judith would step to were Mary had the knife and take it away for a moment, Take Mary's arm that she had cut her finger and summon a plant that made a leaf, This leaf would be like a band aid, but well a healing spell too with in it.

She would take away the bloody carrot and cutting board and come back with a new board and carrot. She then would use the fact she was smaller then Mary to help her here, Taking Mary by her not cut up hand she would be an inch behind Judith, However they both where in front of the cutting board now."When your hands are ready and not bleeding anymore let me know."

When this happen, then would place her arms with in Mary's to give her the hands example of it more close, Mary was an inch away and virtually hovering over Judith with out needing to float. Judith Smelt like the rain they walked in, But also like the fields of flower she kept. Then Judith would line up her fingers keeping in mind Mary's as well to provide enough space."Notice how my hands are?"Judith asked Mary making sure she was getting the details Judith hand that was not holding the blade had her fingers tucked away and  out of the blade's path while holding the carrot down. Then Judith would make the first cut just a bit slower."You do not need to be as quick with it,You are still just learning."Judith's never ending positivity was yet to change

Even if it was not exactly the greatest, it was already an improvements."It is because I am not nervous about it either."Judith would mention about it she was trying to figure out other ways to show example towards Mary to help her, With out trying anything that seemed too horrible."It is being able to relax and keeping the mind clear. As well as your fingers clear of the blade."Judith was explaining it at least.

Then Judith would get her hands free from Mary and show to try something something different."Try closing on hand completely into a fist to hold down the vegetable to chop, That way no fingers are in the path of the blade."Judith tried to explain it that way. Then would get an entirely new carrot.

Taking a step away from Mary to clean off the bloody cutting board quickly."Your large pieces are easily able to be used too."Judith would be fine with the larger pieces of carrot. She had pride in the work of people she was trying to teach.

There where still a few vegetables to cut up. some celery and onion. There was also the chicken to cut up as well as make the rice."Keep trying Mary, I think you can do it."Judith would walk over to her section of vegetables and pick up some celery, Cutting it up easily. To what exactly it was wanted for Judith's view.

Waiting for a moment Judith then asked."There is still Onion and Celery to cut up, Do you wish to try a different vegetable?"Judith would ask just to make sure, Maybe carrot isn't the best idea to start with, But nor was onion. If Mary said yes Judith would maybe change the carrot out for celery.

Judith would then walk over and set a the two pots up and ready one would start boiling for the rice and the other still empty would hold everything they would be cutting up here. Then stopped for a moment and ask."Is your hand better now Mary?"Judith was now just being her normal self now.

The situation seemed was always an interesting situation, Judith made remember so many things, She would mention something about it. Before she told her story Judith would put down the things she was cutting up, Got a few things of tissue paper for this situation."Maybe the onion is the vegetable that might be rough."Judith would wake over and in her motherly was start slowly cleaning up the weeping ghostly lady."My daughter did the very same thing, Same as I."Learning would take a bit and Judith knew it would, She was fully intending on doing what she could as well, Judith's unending empathy was most likely the savior of the situation.

"It is okay to stop Mary, I am not a harsh teacher."Judith wanted to make sure that she knew that. It was a good way at least Judith thought it was, Give Mary a chance to stop so she can clean up and gather herself, Let her mind balance out and be in a good place."I will understand any frustrations or worries you will have with this."Judith was also far too determine to see this to the end one way or another. They both seemed like that.

"Do you want something to drink?"It was to break the moment of worry about cutting things, Judith figuring it would be best too, Mary could prove her judgement otherwise, No matter what Judith was just allowing her to stop if she wanted too while trying to think up of another way to make show what to do, To what detail has yet to be happen, Judith still wanted to figure out how she could herself aside from just telling her

Judith would now start thinking up of what to do next to try and help with this goal mostly because she wanted to find out and help Mary actually manage to an okay level of cutting and manage to make a decent amount of progress.

It always seemed like Judith was the dream of a mother most people never had, Not that she minded it at all but it showed her willingness and dedication to her goals and causes."That is common, worry not about that."Judith mentioned trying to assure Mary in her still almost never ending positivity and blissful energy."I went through it and had to eventually just dull my senses to it."also her empathy were still alive and well. Just how much did she woman have of all this positive emotion in her?

Judith not upfront about it, But knew she was rather serious about about wanting her heart and soul she smiled and said."My heart and soul are with in my family and the members with in it."which was true, they where since everything else with her was far darker then most assume, Judith wanted no one to know.

"You can have something to drink Mary, Just let me know what it is."Judith wanted Mary to be okay and happy almost like that her goal entirely, showing and expressing joy to anyone in life even if it is most grim.

But what was last Judith said,"On the list last is. Cooking the rice and putting it all into pot and letting to cook nicely together."Judith mentioned, She would get the pot for rice,she had showed the ghostly younger woman the dry rice, Then picking up everything else they prepared and put it into the larger pot.

Putting water into the pot with the rice turned out the heat and turned on the heat on the larger pot and start."Just give the rice a bit of time to cook and absorb the water, Then add it into the post with the chicken give it a bit more time to simmer then food is ready!"Judith mentioned in delight. Judith then would go and slice and piece of bread from her collection of bread she went through before and offer it to Mary."I made it myself."She was not compelling Mary to eat it either, Just sharing as she was caring."I have four other loafs too."So there was also plenty to share too

Tea, she wanted too, who else to various flavors but the plant healer lady. Judith would have offered enough times until Mary said yes because Judith picked up she wanted something to drink, if anything if there was wish for something and Judith could give she would."What kind? I have over 30."Judith mentioned casually. It was most likely more, But she had a collection of tea.

She would even go towards where she kept it all, Right next to the door to the backyard, there was a large cabinet, About just as tall as Judith but attach to the roof just so Judith did not need to lean down, It was used often enough because there was a step ladder near it too, meaning Judith had gone through a lot of it."Green, Mint, Jasmine, Orange Pekoe, Ginger."Just were the upfront ones that she was listing. But it showed how much she had there, So Mary seemingly had endless options.

Just by the back door with her garden of various flowers and plants, as well in view was Judith's husband well made shop where he was working as well. It was just as well made as Judith kept all of her planets even a sign that said."Ander's Smithery."So that just would show Mary his name was Anders. Judith was yet to mention it.

With her looking through."I make for to five loafs a week maybe a bit more, Not only do give them to people. I use the bread for the guild because I cook and serve drinks there."So with in Fairy Tail Mary could have Judith's cooking as well as more lessons while she was at the guild or while she was here at Judith house. Either way she could also get more of her wonderful bread.

It seemed Mary was unsure right away not that Judith minded at all. At least Mary had made a choice."Oh such a wonderful kind, Good for any situation."Judith mentioned. Having to go on the tip of her toes to reach since she did not get the step ladder, But she was already far too determine with out to reach it, Even with her option of magic she did not use either."I think I will have some mint green tea myself."Judith just barely got the container jasmine tea, The mint green tea was back a bit more out of Judith's reach.

She was still trying to reach with out anything to help and struggling even more to a seemingly still normal behavior from her. Judith just barely had a reach to grasp it."I could have sworn it was closer in reach, Anders must have had some while i was gone..."The entire cabinet of being a struggle could think Judith would have clued in to get a her step ladder or stool, or use her magic to help her.

Her struggle was now at a end with a slight dragging as she finally got her box of mint green tea down."The guild is a mixture of vastly different personalities."Judith mentioned, Walking over to the where she where the pots where, Turning on a burner and setting a tea kettle on it.

Then she would take the pot of rice that was left cooking and put it into the larger, Getting a large wooden spoon sticking it into the large pot and started mixing the soup."Quiet, humble and kind folks."Judith mentioned to start with."A bit rough but meaning well types, The type to make moves with anything that wears a skirt, even drunks."Judith continue explaining getting two cups for tea. One being the green of a leaf with the pattern of leaves on it, One with dark purple roses on it.

It seemed Judith had heard Mary echo the name she just mentioned."My husband, the man in the shop at back."Judith would mention so the connection where made, So Mary hard a name and with the pictures in the living room what he might have looked and last name. All of the pieces where together for Mary, only thing left was actually meeting Anders himself but Judith assumed Mary would not just go into the backyard and meet her husband, nor would Judith force her to meet him.

Judith would finishing making their cups of tea, Giving  Mary her cup of Jasmine tea with the mug with purple roses. It seemed to catch on maybe a bit what is on her mind."Ahh the desires of youth and the energy of determination."Judith said with a slight chuckle, friendly with intention."I am sure you will fine what you desire eventually."Keep in mind, Judith was vastly older then Mary, So these subjects were not exactly taboo to her, just weird to think about with how motherly and pleasant she was.

Judith would take a sip of her tea and allow her to enjoy her moment of internal passion with in her thoughts. everyone's human, wishes and desires where normal and human. Judith was not a type to judge. It was time for some explaining."It is more to even out all of the contents of the soup, it will not stick in one place and burn as easily."Judith mentioned which after explaining."It as it is now will be good, But i tend to let it set for a bit to cook a bit more."A content and happy moment with Judith. Also mentioned."I tend to make these soups for the guild, As long with the breads. I also bake cakes as well."Judith mentioned to keep a conversation going, Then again Mary could bring up any conversation she wished.

It all seemed rather different that is for sure, what Mary was feel Judith could only help but think to mention."Interesting thing is Anders found me first, I did not seek him out." Why she was recalling this she did not place her finger on it, Maybe there would be more to it,"If anything I was more interested in other things then courting a husband back then."So many things were more interesting then her husband at the time,That and she did even under stand how it all worked."I was more interested in other things then him for a long time."It could make Mary wonder what the things her husband Anders had to go through to keep Judith.

Judith being a target of Envy? it seemed silly to think of, Even for some one like Mary could achieve the things Judith did in time. Judith would put down her cup of tea and take pat Mary on the shoulder."Mary, I am merely a mother and product of my own choosing." Which Judith did not know if that would actually help."You shouldn't envy me, But aspire to have what you want in life."Honest advise from an honest soul as always.

But the request of her tea not was met with a word. Just a vine coming wrapping around Judith' shoulder growing out wards to the cabinet. Open it up and bring the tea to Mary."No many or payment needed." She was just like that giving Mary what she had left of that tea, not really worried Mary repaying her,  Judith just wanted Mary to enjoy a this tea rather then Judith risk forgetting about it, A spooky mage can  enjoy this tea  a lot more then her."I will get more later."

Judith was slowly realizing maybe this was having the opposite effect then again, Judith also saw it a different way. This woman felt alone for the longest time the desire for company, She most likely wanted some one to make her feel like she belonged in some way while being unsure how to go about it as well as being held back by her in Judith's view some what scary looks.

But Judith had some thing to finish."Anders found me if anything and slowly took time to get me to open up."Judith said and she chuckled about it slightly."You can ask him if you want the full details, He isn't that horrible."Judith mentioned, not trying to lead Mary into anything she could not handle, just seeing if the point of getting her to try and talk to some new was being pointed out."He is not as scary as he is in pictures."Judith was just encouraging Mary if anything, It was what she was trying this entire time.

"No potion of spell, He took time to learn and get me to open up as a person."Mary would have to picture this giant blue haired smith person trying to learn and get a tiny woman like Judith to open up."I was still a hermit then and barely spoke."It was an interesting story to learn well part of a story.

In Mary's desperate way of acting and speak, her grimness did truly seem apparently for Judith now, But under it all still prove that Mary was lonely and Judith knew it, All of this cooking, bread tasting and even tea could wait. Judith did not want to embrace that grim feeling around her but she then got close enough to Mary, Hugged her and placed Mary's head on her shoulder."I know, the pain of being alone is tough."Judith was turning away from any secrets for the moment."You want to pull yourself out of despair and loneliness, It is hard and the secrets of attach a person is there isn't any...a person even if you are a bit scary will be interested in you eventually,Fate has not chosen whom yet."Judith could only explain so much thinking about being a human experimenter for Kuriana, how many years she heard the last moments of people's lives with in the control of it in her hands, there pleads for being spared, Judith was the worst. Even before that her days in the forest alone, just living life alone reading books, there was no true secret only fate's call.

Judith really did not want the moment ruined then again she could only hold it off for so long, After Judith give Mary a moment to just feel the warmth and love she was trying to show exist. that entire chilling feeling and gloomy sense was gone."I may be naught what you desire, I still do care you in some way."Judith had a problem with getting attached to people Mary now was just added on to it really.

Even if food was starting to burn Judith did not mind a settled mind meant a lot more."Oh?"Judith would let Mary, Walk over and turn off the heat, Start looking over to see if it could be saved. Judith looking it over realize maybe for the most part this was not something she would personally serve to other people."Well,I should have paid more attention."Judith seemed to shrug it off like it was nothing important, Using her magic to just make move vines to carry the pot outside.

It would already be like Judith had no idea what they had just made with it after it was gone and the plants were gone that Judith used to remove the pot form the house. She would have to explain to Anders later, But they could get something else made maybe.

Acting like nothing happen even with all they had gone through Judith picked up her cup of tea."Hmm...I wonder if there was something I came here for?"Judith was playing off the burn chicken and rice soup to maybe try something new as well show that everything was okay."Was it to make something? or just the tea?"Judith could fain old age here or being forgetful, Mary however was now in an situation that they could try all over again Or just have tea and have Judith walk her home, one of the two.

She did have a plan for this entirely. Having a back up plan was always good."I had a back up to this, Won't take long."Judith was just picky only because serving burnt food was not her standard, she was trying not to ruin the moral building moment Judith was trying to get done with Mary.

Judith's entire back up plan. Was simple walking into her kitchen, It seemed with in moment Judith came back with a well made sandwich and a Salad packed up to be able to carry, Judith seemed to not only have small bag to carry both the sandwich and the salad, There was also a few other containers of tea as well.

Judith knew generally she was a figure of positivity, even if her high standard Judith still had a some good with the situation with Mary, Mary still had some praise with Mary, With so little to known Mary did have some progress."You did well  Mary."Judith said Making sure Mary knew this bag was hers to take."You will need to learn the way back after all I did not show you."Judith also wanted to walk with Mary, just a final thing before they departed for now.

Judith still did not say show or mention anything was wrong, sprouting a large leaf she would use for an umbrella for both of them."Fairy Tail is not too far away from my house."Judith did not seem worried about being with Mary.She might be creepy but Judith seemed attached to her as she started to with almost anyone.

Judith also would finally mention a few things with her walk with her back to Fairy Tail."I have something I want to do, I will be bringing you three bowls of soup tomorrow one being yours, one being mine and one being my husbands. I want you to try them all then tell me what you think."So that was Judith's plan it seemed sudden yes, there was better intentions for it.

She would also say."If you are ever scared or uncomfortable in Fairy Tail or your house, You are always welcome at my house at anytime, I have a spare room too."Judith would mention on the walk with the building of Fairy Tail being in sight for them both."You are always welcome at my house Mary, You have my promise with that."Judith made that clear too."I will find you another day I promise you that Mary."It was a normal evening for Judith and an interesting day for Mary.

What Mary would fine later aside from her bag of a sandwich, salad, two boxes of slightly different flavors of jasmine tea. The next day Mary would have in front of her door after a knock on her door, a light one mind you. Three bowls of rice and chicken soup. which had a marked with names.

First one was marked Mary with a heart at the end of it. It was exactly a bowl of the soup from what she made with Judith, the details of uneven vegetables, But still smelled nicely and like it was not overly horrible. One marked Anders. When Mary looked upon this bowl of soup it was worst then Mary's. The vegetables looked like they were fairly worst cut then Mary's, It was super burnt by that the rice was black rather then white like Anders had burnt the rice and the chicken was like it was overcooked. Far worst then Mary's and tasted like Anders tried to bury his horrible cooking in salt. Then the last one marked Judith, It was fair neater in look then Mary's but the taste and flavor they were just about equal. a Letter with it saying."Come find me when you are able to, Telling me how they compared to one another, I wanted to show you that in you are better then what you assume."

"P.S. I am sorry that it was rude to hide it right away, I had a different kind of plan."-Judith S. Karlinus.

That was Judith's intention, She was trying but Judith seemed to wanted to make sure it was not up front right away, There was some ways in learning, Also at the attachment of the letter was also another note of having a free lunch on Judith if she was around in the guild while Judith was cooking. Mary had a new friend, one trying to get her to expand and learn, Just her odd ways of doing things.
