Covering his eyes and looking backwards he saw Athorbalo sitting on the cot looking at him. She smiled and he returned it, "You didn't have to cook breakfast, milady." Wonko stood and let the sleep fall from his limbs, he looked into the sky and saw that it was nearing noon. Athorbalo asked, "Did you sleep well?" "Yes, very much so, better than I have in a long time, in fact, how about you?" Athorbalo smiled, "I was so exhausted, I would've slept well if there were oliphaunts nearby." Wonko smiled, looked at the blanket on the ground, made a connection, and asked, "Were you not cold last night? You shouldn't have given me the blanket." She only smiled and said, "No, I was fine, and it seemed like you needed it." "What's for breakfast?", he asked. "Cheese omelets, with mushrooms,"was her reply. "It's a beautiful day, I think I'll have to go find Eldarath and make him enjoy it," Wonko grinned. "Who is Eldarath?" "Merely an old acquaintance of mine, whom I thought had died, until very recently, you shall probably meet him, he's the one who gave me the nifty hat." "You're very strange, seems like you've seen alot.", she said. "And I still know almost nothing of you, milady", he replied, "I should like to learn as much as you will tell." Wonko smiled and grabbed the spatula, tossing the omelets onto plates and salvaging the forks from last night's stroganoff. He washed these off and gave her one. Wonko took a large bite of his omelet, smiling, it tasted awful. She was definitely not domestic. Wonko finished breakfast, complimenting her cooking abilities as well as he could. He stood up, "Shall we go back into Generica?"
