Hey guys, mom send over some snacks, and honestly? It's waaaaay too much for me to eat before it'd go bad, so gonna share the bounty.

So who likes baklava or maamoul?

Yeah it was pretty rough, but thankfully I got a knack for languages, and the neighborhood I'm in had a high immigrant population - so the school's well-equipped.

[conquerorofwaves]

They're good, no allergies to nuts, right?

[lifeforced]

Nope! It's basically impossible for me to have any allergies, actually!

[missleading]

That kind of sounds like a dessert croissant but with extra stuff inside
It sounds really good!
How hard is it to make?

[conquerorofwaves]

you're better off buying the phyllo dough than trying to make it unless you really wanna get good at it - homemade's better, but phyllo's a bitch to work with.

the dough's paper-thin and you gotta layer it, so they tear easily if you're not careful.

otherwise, it's actually not too hard to make

What the fuck are those?

I swear, the longer I'm here the more new shit I find out about.

They're snacks and really good. The first's layers of baked dough with nuts and honey, the second's a cookie stuffed with dates, nuts, and figs.

[strings_theory]

... Why would you stuff a cookie with dates and figs? Nuts sound fine, by why ruin something with fruit? [Not that she has any room to talk.]

[conquerorofwaves]

It tastes way better than it sounds. You're probably thinking fig netwons, right? Forget those, these are way better!

[conquerorofwaves]

They're both nutty snacks, one is layers and layers of thin crispy dough rolled around nuts and glued together with honey, and the other's a cookie stuffed with nuts and fruit - which is really good with coffee or hot chocolate

[strings_theory]

Iiiiit's still fuckin' figs, dude. How the hell do you make figs taste good?

[conquerorofwaves]

Pftt. Trust me, this stuff isn't processed all to hell. That's what makes stuff taste gross.

[strings_theory]

Are you sure we're talking about the same fruit? Because pretty sure they're not good from the get-go?

[bolderfell]

And then you came here?

[After all that work?]

[conquerorofwaves]

Given the choice - heard the magic schools in England are full of snotty assholes - I'm not 100% human - and I pick up languages pretty easily now.

This seems like the best place to stay for what I need.

[seasonsofdeath]

Oh

They sound really good.

[missleading]

Hmmmm
Sounds like a fun challenge!
I bet we could find somebody who's good at baking to help
I'm fine with buying it, but homemade is always better!
It helps that we've got a baklava expect!!

[bolderfell]

Really? There's all types here, I guess, but the road we're taking's not exactly a cakewalk.

[conquerorofwaves]

Trust me, I know it's not the Magical World of Harris Patterson.

[bolderfell]

Then whatever you're staying for must be that important.

[conquerorofwaves]

There's someone I'm looking for, place like this is my best option for leads.

[bolderfell]

I see.

Tried asking any of the seers yet?

[conquerorofwaves]

Yeah, least I know he's still alive, but old trails are hard to narrow down.

[bolderfell]

Guess if this is the place you came for leads, he'd have to be uncommonly difficult to track. Anything to do with the Outlands? I could see that complicating things.

[conquerorofwaves]

[A few minutes pass before he replies]

It's my father - he's a Djinn. Outlands or here, whoever has him is not going to make it easy for anyone else to find him.
