[h3] Mac and Cheese[/h3]
“Well, I’m certain we’re all going to have a ‘whale’ of a time on this adventure, as long as everyone likes eating frog’s legs and snails.” Mac stared up at the vast ships having cooed up at them, obviously impressed.

“Sooo, where exactly is it we’re going?” He rolled his hand in the air trying to pull forth more information. “Like, I know we’re going to France but where? Paris or…somewhere other than Paris?” Mac had never been to France.

“Paris isn’t near the border Mac.” Cheese stood a closer to Seth and Mai, with her arms crossed. “Which is probably where we’re going.”

Cheese had taken more to Seth and Mai than Mac over the past week, especially after Seth had made Mac jump out of his skin with the hand buzzer. While She did find the pair of them somewhat irritable at times, Seth spoiling her food with salt and Mai being almost too cheery and well-spoken at times, their company and games were quite welcome either when she wasn’t half-heartedly glancing through the books they’d been given or testing out the ‘transmute’ spell she was trying to learn. It had turned out to be a lot harder than just pointing and shouting a word.

Mac tiled his heads towards her and spoke in a voice dripping with sarcasm. “Really? The border? I would never have guessed. Thank you so much for your input.”

Mac meanwhile hadn’t spent as much time studying the books on history of France and instead chose to hound a few now weary guards around the castle grounds for information about the strange blade he was now able to magically summon. When it got to the point of a poor guard reaching the end of their tether Mac would then sulk off somewhere for a while, normally to see what Fredrick was doing.

There was a very tense moment between the pair where Cheese stiffened with controlled annoyance and Mac seemed to stare almost goadingly at her.

“I’m sorry.” Mac finally said like a well-rehearsed line from a script. “I shouldn’t have said that.”

Cheese simply made a noise at the back of her throat.

“How long will it take to get to where-ever it is we’re going?” She asked with a huff.
