Lotus listened attentively to Babble. "Well I'll have some roast for sure." She took a quick glance at her Counts, before looking back at her plate. The glance was as if to check that it was still alright for her to be at the table. She took a bite of the roast after cutting it, and placing it into her plate. It was divine! It was amazing! ... Well, not as good as drinking blood, but she could enjoy it! Such a pleasant experience, senses she never used before suddenly roaring into action. Bite after bite, she devoured her food as fast as etiquette and table manners would allow her. She brought a piece of cloth to her lips, to clean off any crumbs from her mouth. After such a suggestion, she made sure to listen to the rest of what Babble had to say.
"Why don't you keep trying, Father?" A quizzical look appeared on Lotus' face. "I am first and foremost a servant of the Contiello family, and shall forever be one. But my trade is clothing making, and I still find enough time to devote to my Goddess. Enough time that she has gifted me with her powers, and made me one of her clerics." She paused to look at Barbara with a kind smile. "Barbara I'm sure you could find some time to teach Father Babble how to cook one or two things. Even being a slime surely Father could cook certain things."
The rest of Lotus' attention was devoted to Babble's next suggestion. The Dream Pocket. Lotus started at the dish, as if looking at something unreal. Some ancient artifact, some forgotten text, some huge pile of money. "Even if it's just a story, there has to be some grain of truth to it right?" She thought for a while. Maybe the pastry did have magical powers. It wouldn't be unheard of, if she could cast magic anyone could. Were there magic chefs? She wondered for a few moments until an idea popped into her head. She took a single Dream Pocket from the tray, and brought it up to her mouth. Using only her vampiric canine teeth, she softly bit into the cake. She made sure not to dig her fangs to deeply. Then, she sucked on it as if it was the neck of one of her victims. The suction brought the sugar and fruits into the servant's mouth, where she then ate it normally. Slowly, she ate it carefully drinking the insides and eating the outsides. She performed this way until the good luck charm fell out. Lotus mentally cheered. My dreams will come true. She thought. Lotus turned her gaze to the Countess and the Count. I will keep serving the Counts, I will keep working as a seamstress making the lady look beautiful, and I will make everyone proud. I will do this forever, for the end of all eternity.
