Hello, I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction for finding cooking ingredients. I'd like to make a cake, chocolate cake. There's an occasion coming up and I'd like to be able to share something special for it.

So any direction would be appreciated.

[Private to Tyrion]

I was wondering if you'd want to go out with me, it's for my birthday this week. I thought since I am away from home maybe I could go with friends and so far that list is mostly you and Remus.

I look forward to speaking with Petunia if she ever arrives ...

[gifted_witch]

So do I, I almost wish she would.

[tallasaking]

You are a glutton for punishment, aren't you?

[gifted_witch]

I don't think so. I just always want to hope for the best, because maybe it will happen.

[tallasaking]

I have never found that to be particularly helpful ... but then again, perhaps if I had been as kind as you, it would have turned out better for me.

[gifted_witch]

Perhaps this is a new start then, and you can be whatever you want to be.

[tallasaking]

I am not entirely sure I should be promising anything regarding that.

[gifted_witch]

Then I won't ask for promises, this is your life Tyrion, and that makes it your choice.

But no one else can judge you or tell you what to do here either.

[tallasaking]

...Now that, is a very true statement, my dear Lily.

[gifted_witch]

Truth is the best, don't you think?

[tallasaking]

Truth is always relative.

[gifted_witch]

Ah, but are relatives always true? [Come one, there had to be a laugh for that one. ]

[tallasaking]

My relatives never are. [His mouth twisted upwards into a grin, as he laughed.]

[gifted_witch]

SO few are. But maybe that's why you can make your own family, helps even things out.

[tallasaking]

Hmmm. Then I suppose I should be hopeful that we are, in fact, like family here, eh?

[gifted_witch]

Yes, and I couldn't ask for better.

[tallasaking]

Tsk, you shall turn me crimson, Lily.

[Is Tyrion's amused response, but incredibly fond, response.]

[gifted_witch]

Fitting enough, that's half my house colors. Crimson and gold field for our lion standard.

[tallasaking]

[There is a pause, before he stares at her and then bursts into laughter.]

You're joking! Surely, you are joking. You are putting me on, yes?

[gifted_witch]

I'm not though! It's the symbol for Gryffindor house! When I dig up some of my things I can show you. It's really a very noble creature, my house is based around courage and loyalty and all that so we're lions.

[tallasaking]

I ...

[A pause.]

Loyalty and courage?

[Another pause.]

...well. Those are all the symbols of House Lannister. Which I can tell you, only about half of us fall under honor and loyalty. On a good day.

[gifted_witch]

Really? [This was something that pushed the bounds of being believable, they could have such specifics in common?]

What are they otherwise?

[tallasaking]

Power and greed.

[Is Tyrion's wry response.] Our creed is 'Hear Me Roar', so honestly one can assume we're simply going for the fear angle, truly.

[gifted_witch]

Well, that's very... thematic I suppose.

[tallasaking]

Oh is that the tactful phrase we are going to go with?
