Looking over at Rynah he couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw the speed at which she prepared the dough, asking to learn the secret for himself but she just assured him it was years of experience and a strong arm. Alfyn reluctantly accepted the answer with a chuckle and then proceeded to give shape to the dough. The elderly woman finally sprinkled some blue crystals on the cookies before the tray went into the oven, as Alfyn inquired about them, she revealed it to be the secret ingredient, crushed mana crystals.
Once they were ready for consumption, and not before they almost burned as both of them went back to their activities before Alfyn remembered in the nick of time, she offered him one to which he graciously accepted after watching her eat one to make sure they were edible. With just the first bite energy surged within him, a welcome effect to be sure, as for the taste, it was even better than he anticipated. The rest of the evening proceeded without much action and as Mitya arrived and gave Alfyn his reward, the man said his goodbyes to Rynah with a smile to which she reciprocated in kind.
