Seeing Varda has become occupied with what she believes to be a Candidate boy, she's suddenly reminded of her own flit egg. "Oh dear.." she mutters, untying the make-shift sack from her waist and opening it to check on its contents. Seeing that it had remained warmed by her body heat, she sighs with relief and leaves the spit for a moment in order to deliver the egg into Varda's care. "I'm terribly sorry to interupt, but I want to get him, or her, taken care of before I get whisked away into my own little cooking world again," she says, grinning lightly and handing the egg to Varda before making a dash back to the kitchen.

Thinking that the roots aren't going to bake themselves, she gives the spit a few more turns then runs into the storage room to gather some of the white roots she'd seen before. Stuffing them in a basket discovered on the floor, she leaves the store room once more and puts the basket of roots on the table. She gives the spit a few more turns, then gathers some wood and kindles a fire in the smaller hearth next to the one that currently blazes. She gathers a clay pot from beneath one of the stone sinks and empties the already peeled roots into it, then sprinkles a few herbs onto the vegetables before putting the lid on the pot and setting it to bake.

She returns her attention to the spit for a few more minutes, slowly rotating the meat and judging from the smells that begin to drift out of the hearth, notes that it will be at least another fifteen minutes until its finished. She also notices the scent of the boiled grasses, and quickly removes the pot from the hook in front of the hearth and sets it down by the fire to keep it warm. She then draws her focus to the still unmade rolls, and deftly gathers a large bowl from the cupboard and begins the process of making the dough, every so often walking back to give the spit a few more turns.
