Cassie took the rag, graciously muttering a thank you as she tucked it into the waist of her apron. "Thank you...My brother lives in the apartment I rent. It's not to far from here and it's a reasonable price. Our neighbor sits in with him during the day. She's old and her husband passed a while ago so I think she likes the company. He keeps saying he's 8 and can handle a few hours on his own but" For the first time her smile wavered and a look of concern barely flashed across her face, but then the smile was back "I mean, he's 8, obviously you can't leave an 8-year-old even in the best health to his own devices, that's how you get a burnt down house." @dansavoie

Cassie reached into the cupboard and pulled out a tin cup, she filled it with water from the clean water tank and took a sip. She had learned to stay hydrated in the kitchen, especially during the summer "Stable, horses are kept in the stable. I've been working for the Bridgertons since I was 17, so about a year now. When my father passed Lady Bridgerton was kind enough to take me in-it was difficult finding someone willing to do that when I had no experience as a servent. The family is very kind in that way. Last Christmas she gave me presents for my little brother, some toys for him that he can play with while in bed. He's sick I'm afraid so it meant so much for her to think of that." @dansavoie

Cassie gave him a sympathetic look. "No need to appologize, I think you're doing very well considering it's not your birth language. Besides, knowing this much english in and of itself is hard. I only know english and a few German words. And even thouse I only learned when my father got agrivated and would slip into his mother tounge. I'm reasonably sure I'm not suppose to say those." She laughed a little at her own joke. She had a light, giggling laugh, "I'll be sure to get you some chocolate Croissants when they're out of the oven."
She gestered to where the pastery wrapped chocolate was cooking away under the fire. She had grown use to the heat of the kitchen long ago but still her skin glissened with a thin layer of persperation. "How long have you been in England?" She asked as she went over to poke the fire, making sure that all the pateries had an even amount of heat.

Cassie beamed with pride. In her experience, french people were very protective of their food, so having one tell her that he liked her cooking felt like a national award.
"That's so sweet that your mother bakes. My father, he was Austrian, came to this country not knowing a single word of the language rest his soul, but he was a baker, used to run a little shop back home, he taught me everything I know. You should come in more often I always wonder if my french pastries are accurate to what they have in France. I can make a lot of them, I think my croissants are actually why Lady Bridgerton hired me. Or the Chausson aux Pommes I make for special occasions. Where in the estate do you work? If you want I can make sure to send you some of the less pretty pastries or the ones the family doesn't eat. I'm making chocolate croissants for their picnic lunch today and there's always one or two that come out with a bit of a dent on the side." She babbled off, content to do the talking for both of them since he seemed unsure of his English, much like how she was unsure about her french.

Sweets in the Celler | She was putting away the ingrediants she had used while her pasteries cooled. There was flour in her hair and smudged under her right eye. She heard the sound of someone in the kitchen and quickly finished loading everything up before hurring into the kitchen.
He was tall, or at least taller then her, with soft eyes and longer hair. She couldn't help but smile as she saw him. Then again she smiled when she saw anyone. "Oh, hello. Welcome to the kitchen, I see you've found my Canneles" She said, blissfully unaware of how much she butchard the name. "Do try one of them but go for one of the less pretty ones, I like to give the family the pretty ones. I'm Cassie Kellner, I'm a kitchen maid but also I do a lot of the baking here. The head cook actually doesn't care for baking that much. So I make all the pasteries and breads and everything that he doesn't-I'm sorry I'm being terribly rude I haven't even asked your name" |

.:Birthplace:. Aberfoyle Scottland,
.:Family:. Grace Kellner (Mother, deceased), Felix Kellner (Father, deceased), Lucas Kellner (Brother, 20), Jason Kellner (Brother, 8)
.:Occupation:. Kitchen Maid in the Bridgerton estates, though for the most part she handles pastry making for the Bridgerton family
.:History:. The story of Cassies family starts romantically. Her father, a baker from Austria, came to scotland looking for a new life after his family was lost in an outbreak of small poxs. While in scotland he met her mother, and while he could not speak the language he baked her small treats and goodies and bite by bite she fell in love.
From there the two got married, had two children and loved them greatly. While Cassies brother ran in the wilderness and explored Cassie stayed close to her fathers bakery, and learned everything she could from him. It was there that she learned her love of cooking and baking, where she learned the science of making beautiful things with sugar, butter, and flower.
When she was ten a tragedy and a merical came to her family. Her mother, despite many miscarriages, managed to carry Jason to term, but their mother passed during the birth. What was worse was something was wrong with the baby, his right leg wasn’t right, it was all twisted and weak, and he would have horrible fits where he couldn’t breath if he over exerted himself. Cassie learned to care for him to, and to live in fear of any time he coughed. The doctors would come and look at him after his fits, but esides that the family just learned to live with it.
Their father died about a month after Lucas left to serve in the navy. There was a house fire in town and her father went to help. He had been releasing the horses when the fire spread to the barn and trapped him. Just like that, Cassie and Jason were orphans.
Cassie did what her father before her did, went off for a better life, but with her 7 year old brother in hand. They sold everything they didn’t need, keeping only a few things for sentiment, and went to London. It was hard, finding work, some people seemed to believe that Jason was Cassies illegitimate son. But eventually Lady Bridgerton gave her a shot and Cassie proved her worth. Now her and her brother live in a small apartment together, and try to make ends meet and pay a local doctor who keeps saying he can cure young Jasons lungs.
