[Gift] [Orryn]: Chocolate Pancakes

It was well past midnight and even though pretty much everyone at the church was asleep at this time, (choosing to sleep early in order to get up early and therefore finish chores early as well) one man was certainly still well awake, with a plan ready to be executed.

Orryn stealthily made his way through the corridors, making sure the coast was clear and making sure that nobody’s sleep would be disrupted by his late night field trips. Finally a few meters away, he saw his target location come into view.

The kitchen doors.

Now although he was a greed bun through and through, he did tend to exhibit some other sins or vices from time to time. For example, he was a well known glutton, always stealing snacks or bites from the kitchen, such as the case right now. He rubbed his hands together, pushing the door ajar and peeped inside. Looks like there was no one inside, as per usual at this time. He felt along the walls for the light switch and flicked them on. Slipping inside, he set Earl, his imp down unto the table. “Go keep watch buddy.” he says, patting it gently with his finger. Earl lets out a little chirp in reply, as if to reassure him he would indeed be on the lookout.

Orryn opens the cabinets and softly hums a tune as he starts rummaging around for some ingredients. “Earl. How do you feel about some pancakes right now…?” he asks, taking some flour and sugar from the shelf. “I’m feeling… chocolate pancakes.” He sets down the ingredients on the table and looks around. Where were the chocolate bars…? “Maybe the fridge.” he whispers to himself, turning around once more, and opening the fridge door. He reaches in to swipe the ingredient from the back of the shelf when suddenly….

“Well well well. What do we have here. I’ve caught a thief.” Gaius says, crossing his arms and leaning on the door frame. Orryn stops and turns. “Earl.” he says raising an eyebrow. “I thought you were on watch. The little tea cup blinks, looks at Orryn, then Gaius. It chirps like it is calling out an alarm. Orryn pinches the bridge of his nose.

“I just got a bit.. Peckish.” Orryn says, waving his hand. Gaius smiles knowingly. He steps in. “What are we making?” he asks.

Orryn smiles. He said “we”.

“Pancakes.” he says, setting the chocolate down on the table. “Chocolate pancakes.”
