Author’s Note: Jenny wanted a story about Oropher and Cook, so I decided to give her a month’s worth of them.
Spoilers: For the stories of Oropher and Thranduil, yes.
Summary: Every day, I will tell a little of the story of Bellothia, cook for the house of Oropher.

Part Fifteen
Bell was kneading a huge mound of dough for the morning bread when Thranduil came into the kitchen. It was still dark out and would be for several more hours.
He grabbed an apple out of the bowl on the table and sat down.
“Being a king is easier than being a father.”
Bell hid her grin. What had Legolas done now?
“He told me that I smell like old people!”
Bell laughed out loud. “You’re younger than me and he tells me I smell like a party!”
Thranduil stuck his tongue out at her. “That’s only because you always smell like baking. Any day Legolas gets pie is a party to him.”
“Maybe we should all take a lesson from him then.”
“How come you’re so wise?”
“Because I am older than you are.”
Bell divided the dough into five loaves and covered them with a towel to rise. There would be hot bread to eat with butter and honey when everyone came to the dining room for breakfast.
She opened one of the ovens and lifted out a large baked ham, which she set up on the carving table to cool a few minutes before she sliced it.
“I have some bread already done. Would you like a bit of ham on hot bread?”
Thranduil sighed with happiness. “I thought you’d never ask.”
