She may have sounded the same as before, but the fact that she actually greeted him was.... monumental. She didn't look toward him, not truly, but she at least greeted him.

She was also up and about, and he could see that she at least had pants and a tank top on, likely something that Syraene gave her.

Overall, it was an improvement, even if he couldn't properly hear it.

"I am as I am." was Hazels almost cryptic answer. However, it really did say plenty about what all Syraene had done.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" She then asked. Seemed that submissive streak was still there, strongly, but the way she said it... it wasn't an ask for an order this time. At least, it didn't seem to be, as it had been previously.

Hazel was silent.

"No." She answered. "No preference." She added.

"However, I am good at cleanng." She then said. "So while I have no preference, I will take the kitchen.... as your kitchen is... a... uhh..." She paused, looking around for a moment.

".... A disaster."

Hazel was silent for a moment before shaking her head. She didn't feel hungry, ever, anymore. It was something she just accepted when given to her, no matter what it was, but she never felt it.

"I will get to work on the kitchen." She stated simply as she stepped around him and made her way to the room in question.

"Would you like me to prepare you food while I work?" She asked, not realising how he likely wouldn't kjnow she could cook. It was one of the things that Encrae had allowed her to do, surprisingly enough.

"yes." Hazel answered.

"I am quite adept in the kitchen." She stated.

"I can prepare most things you might wish for."

"I shall do that, then." Hazel answered. Something to her voice though, made it apparent that she likely wasn't going to eat something of the sort herself. She was clear of the mana, but most certainly not clear of the overall effects.

She made her way to the kitchen and started to look around, planing out what she was going to do, and how, as she went. She had to familiarise herself with the room, and everything within it.

"If you would like me to stay, then I shall." Hazel answered as she withdrew some cleaning supplies from under the sink.

"I will not fight you if you would like me to leave." She then added.

"Also, is there anything out here you do not want me to touch?"

"Noted." Hazel said in confirmation before setting to work with what she'd been tasked with; cleaning and cooking.

Sometime later, after ash started dozing on the couch, he was woken by a steaming bowl of something or other being set ahead of him on the coffee table ahead of him. When he woke, he saw Hazel heading back to the kitchen, leaving him alone to eat.

When he looked over, he could see the immensely clean area. He couldn't see the entirety of the kitchen, not at all, but what he could see was clean.

"I did eat, yes." Hazel answered after a few seconds befor ehe heard her footsteps approaching. Her face was red, but that wasn't too hard to guess why. He could smell the chemicals on her.

Easily, at that.

"There's plenty remaining." She told him honestly.

"Half is in the chest freezer you have, and the other half is in the refridgerator." She added.

"Hm?" Hazel asked.

"Oh. No. No problems." She told him.

"Mistress usually has me doing more, anyhow." She added with a shrug.

Hazel didn't say anything, just shrugged.

"Truly, I am all right." She added.

"Just about done, as well." She then told him.

"So, I shall get back to that." She said before turning to return to the kitchen.
