Claudia smiled back at Samuel. Once she got talking about Orcade, no one could stop her, but it seemed that the walk to the kitchens was shorter than she'd imagined. She peered around Samuel's shoulder to see inside, and her eyebrows went up at the scene in front of them. And so many elegant ladies and gentlemen were inside, Claudia felt a little abashed that she was still wearing her muddy riding clothes. Still, nothing could be done about it, and she edged inside behind Samuel to get a better view.
"Oh." Claudia said, looking at the slippery floor and the maiden who had fallen down. She looked around at the state of the kitchen, and inwardly shrugged. She'd had a few cooking lessons from the family cook back in Orcade. Her parents had encouraged it, to keep her out from under their feet. She had been a boisterous child. "Would you care for any help? I know a little bit about cooking..." Claudia said, addressing no one in particular.
