It isn't the kitchen, but close. When Korrin next properly catches sight of Araceli she'll be sliding down the crumbling chunk of tower (she assumes it was part of the tower once) that signals the beginning of the battlements that share a wall with the stables, where there's a lower section of wall. A pile of hay has been set up once again since the lessons are back on and so Araceli can dive off if she chooses but she remains where she is, toes curling over the edge of the wall as she takes a breath and shakes out her hair again.

Stretching her arms high above her head, she wonders if she should pretend to be surprised or not by Korrin just so happening to be there, or if that spoils the game. As she doesn't have much time to decide, she calls out as soon as she catches sight of Korrin.

"Sirena, you caught me! That means you win."
