"She must have quite an impressive voice", Val said, raising his eyebrows in a roguish expression. "But I understand what you mean. If you ever get restless again, let me know, and we can come here and work on the kitchen. There will always be something to work on. Even simply speaking with the pots and the pans should be helpful; they need to learn everything they can. And please, teach them any recipe you know".

"Really!", Adrien exclaimed. "I can do that?".

"Of course. I would love to expand my selection", Val smiled. "Besides, I need to test the kitchen thoroughly, so it has the ability to prepare anything that could ever be requested".

"Then I will", Adrien said, and he resumed cleaning the counter. "I mean, I don't know how many recipes you have, but -- I gotta know something of use", he chuckled.

"Well, at least the chestnut cake", Val said.

"Right!".

"But probably much more than just that. You cooked at home, right? What would you consider your specialties?".
