[ olivia spares a moment to hold back her instinctive response — she had hoped, of course, but hadn't dared to assume, and so hearing confirmation of an invitation grips her heart enough to make her eyes water, just a bit — and in the next she merely smiles brightly, clasping her hands before her. ]
No, I guess we don't really have to... [ but part of preparations of a celebration is making the food! it's fun, in its own way! and seeing everyone enjoy what you've worked so hard on...

Potato dumplings... Bratwurst... Spargel, perhaps an assortment of cheeses and pickles, and red fruit pudding, and-
[Just stop her anytime, Olivia. But. If they're not careful the cuisine is gonna be so old fashioned German people might not... Be able to eat much but the sausage. (No one has told her some of those are acquired tastes.)]

Do you know any recipes off the top of your head? I'll do my best to recreate as many of them as I can!
no subject
[She cocks her head and tries again- maybe the name... But then she just kind of stares. Cook... ing... ?]
... Did I forget to mention I was the Lord of Wolfsschlucht?
[She's never been in a kitchen like. Ever.]
no subject
well — she knew sieglinde was of noble standing, but that doesn't mean she couldn't have hobbies...! ]
...I'll take that as a no. Hm. Well—! Maybe the library might have a recipe book we can refer to...
no subject
[Sieglinde doesn't... have any interest in learning that particular skill when she could be learning way more important things.]
The food just appears so shall we... will it to be sour roast?
