Berjimonk Bakery
Peace..

Nestled along the main street of Esto Gaza, the Berjimonk Bakery is a lovely building done up with bricks, and always giving off the smell of heavenly brownies, the brownies which made this very bakery the most famous in all of Zelpha. It is the only bakery in all of Serdio, and it is usually full of people looking to buy and sample the baked goods which are always fresh and made daily. The bakery is well known by a yellow sign which hangs over the door reading: Berjimonk Bakery: Sample a piece of heaven!. There is also a large brick chimney which many assosiate with the bakery as it never smells like ash; it always smells like fresh baked goods.

Berjimonk is only one floor. That floor is quite large, with an array of items, but the first thing most people notice is a large glass case pilled high with cookies, cakes, brownies, and other treats. Behind the case is the kitchen, pilled full of olden stoves, ice boxes stuffed with sweet goods, and other ingredients. The kitchen is always busy, with plump Shiian chefs rushing around to hurridly finish new goods. Away from the case, there are five tables, each with two chairs all nestled in a tiny romantic corner, perfect for dates. Further past the tables is an oaken door, which when opens leads out to a small garden, with six more tables, each with three chairs. The garden is perfect for people who want to enjoy a snack outside. All the tables bare a tiny latern full of oil for when it gets dark, and all have a lacy blue table cloth. When you sit, someone will bring you a menu, or if you're in a hurry, you can order at the case and eat yours to go. There is also a bathroom a bit to left of the glass case. The bathroom is pretty bare. It has a toilet and a sink, but it's always kept tidy and is never ever dirty or grimmy.

Sign hanging near the glass case: I don't care how many people ask. My brownie recipe is NOT for sale! ~ Nickle

Drake, on his usual morning stroll down Kilou street stopped as he neared the Berjimonk bakery. It had been ages since he had last visited the bakery, 100 years to be exact! Opening the door, Drake stepped in.

The place was as he remembered it. Plump chefs in the back preparing treats, young couples enjoying a cup off coffee while discussing some poem or book they read, and Nickle. Good ole' Nickle, who had ran the shop 100 years ago was still there.

"Hey Nickle," Drake said casually. The man named Nickle waved vigorously.

"Hey Drake! I've been waiting since you got back your throne. I was wondering if you were ever going to visit me! What will you have?" Nickle asked.

"I'll take what I had before I ever got involved in this political business," Drake began.

"Okay, so a fortune tea and a slice of chocolate marble cake. That'll be 150g." Nickle replied.

Drake handed over the money.

"Have a seat Drake, I have Lana bring you your order in a few minutes."

Drake nodded and took a seat near the window. He was glad somethings never changed, despite 100 years passing.

The door opened. In stepped three ladies. The first was a frail looking middle aged woman, who wore a wide white hat. She also wore a Eden style Receiving gown. She had a parasol as well, which she used as a walking cane, she limped and looked close to collapsing. The second woman was younger, in her late teens. She was ravishingly beautiful, with black, nearly blue hair and sharp green eyes. Her face bore Sho features. She too wore a Receiving gown, and smaller more fashionable hat. The third woman was a large, dark lady, a Shii probably, from Southern Vulcan. She carried a number of packages, and seemed to heard the two pale ladies to a table, and order, all at the same time.

The Older woman sat in a half faint, as the darker lady lectured the young woman.

“I dun told ya, yo mama aint well ‘neff to go out walkin, ‘specially not in dis heya city weya all da woman dress and talk like Fancy ladies, but you, you dun say ‘pleze Mammy, I wants to go walkin’ and I says ‘yo mama aint well ‘neff to go walkin’ and den you turn ta her and real sweet like says ‘Mama, yous well ‘neff to go walkin, aint ya?’ and you dun bully her inta goin walking, just so you can get dese heya duds, when you knows right well yous can get anyding you wants from ‘Ladies’ free. And now, wes spent all dis money on dese trashy Serdian duds and yo mama is sick and ill, nearly ready to die!”. The Younger pale lady sat perfectly still, and said nothing.

“Mammy.” She said. Her voice sounded nothing like the darker woman’s parody. She had the short, clipped, over pronounced accent of the Eden gentry, not the slow sugary voice of the majority of the population. “I wont be spoken to in such a manner-” “Yous wont be spoken to? Wen yo mama’s near her death bed, and all because of you!” The older woman let out a low moan.

A majority of the people turned to watch the out burst between the older Shiian woman and the younger more beautiful Edeniese girl. There was alot of uproar, mainly because the people in bakery KNEW that the Shii had to be a slave.

"How dare those Edeniese bring their slaves up here and tout them around like they can do anything!"
"Trash? Atleast Serdian duds don't cling to you like a nun's outfit!"
"Fancy ladies? I object to that!"

Those were just a few of the whispers, a few including why the king was just sitting there watching the scene. Why wasn't he asking them to leave? Drake to be honest, found the uproar funny. Not to mention that he had no right to force people out of Serdian stores just because they brought their slaves into the country. Just because Serdio outlawed slavery, didn't mean it was illegal for foreigners to bring theirs into the town.

"Quiet down, everyone..foreigners are allowed to bring personal property with them into the country, and the law of slavery says that slaves are properity. Now go back to enjoying your drinks and meals, and let the Edeniese go about their business." Drake said in a clear-crisp tone, causing the Serdians in the bakery to quiet. With a sigh, Drake turned back towards the window.

The Edenese had largely ignored the whispers and comments about them, as they were involved with their own problems. However, when Drake quieted the cafe, they became aware that the cafe was looking at them.

“Stop yo starin” Mammy announced loudly. “nogoodwhitetrashaintgotnorightstaring atdecentfolk” she muttered under breath. “Sir.” The young lady said, standing and pulling her slight train around her skirt elegantly. She had a vague idea that the man was the King of Serdio, but that didn't impress her too much. Eden was a introverted society. They didn't concern themselves with the outside world. In fact, in the young ladies social group, it had been seen as very odd that she should want to take holiday in Serdio, when there were so many more pleasant places in Eden to spend her free time.

“I am Cosette Hamiliton. My uncle is the People’s Governor of Virginia.” In the inward looking society of Eden, and in the opinion of Cosette, that ranked higher than a monarch of a foreign country. “Thank you for your kindness” Her white gloved hands clasped her light violet satan skirt, and she curtsied, ever so slightly.

"It was no problem, I try my best to ensure that everyone has a pleasant time in Serdio, although I must say I can't be everywhere at once.." Drake replied with a smile. He really had no idea what Cosette thought of him, nor did he know much about Eden's society following it's freedom from Meira after it was destoried. He didn't trouble himself with the details.

"It seems odd to see someone from Eden so far north though. Most of the Edenese people prefer to stay in Thesily or Hevana, as they are closer to Eden than any other province of Serdio. I'm quite glad you've come so far however, Esto Gaza enjoys tourists muchly."

“I’ve never been to Esto Gaza” She replied. Mammy was glaring up at her. It wasn't proper for a young lady to talk to a strange man, even if he was the King of Serdio. However, the darker slave was trying her hardest to keep her mistress comfortable. This was not easy, because Cosette’s mother kept moaning, and saying little things like “I fear I am expiring” and “oh, what an attractive light! Ought I walk go into it?”.

Cosette’s mother was a frail woman, but she had been a frail woman since she had been born. She was also a hypochondriac. And, a s everyone knows, there is nothing worse than a sickly hypochondriac.

“Yes” Cosette continued. “The Tarlatans-” Another sign of her introverted thinking, she felt no need to introduce the Tarlatans, even though it was doubtful that any of the Serdians this far north would of heard of that obscure planter family. “-Have kin in Thesily.... or Hevana, I don't really remember. I must say though, Esto Gaza isn't quite as large as Augusta, is it? We had to take a train through there, and it was simply huge. I haven't ever been to Augusta before either. Hopefully, we may stay there a while on our way back to Virginia. Have you ever been to Virginia?”

"No, Esto Gaza is as large as Augusta. It's location just isn't suitable for a metropolis to grow. It's too hot in summer and too cold in winter."

When she spoke of Virginia, he shook his head.

"Yes, over the summer. But it was on foot and I didn't really have time to stop and look around. It was a sort of quick passing-through."

“Have you ever been to Augusta?” She inquired. “Get yo self ova’ heya chile” Cosette turned. Mammy was helping her mother up. “Well, I suppose we are leaving. Good day sir” She turned to leave.

He waved good-bye, and as he waved, the waitress named Lana set down what he had ordered. He thanked her, and enjoyed his meal, leaving an hour later, following the scene by the Edeniese.
