[his expression falls at that, even as he uses the knife to push the chopped vegetables into a pile at the side. he is going slowly for Flayn's sake]

Yeah. Me too.

I've never been good at keeping secrets.

[fishingforcompliments]

...nor have I.

[she sighs. the few secrets she does have, she guards jealously - because she knows if she lets herself slip, even just once, it will all come tumbling out.

she keeps her eyes on the vegetables as she speaks.]

Someday, this will be over, and we will not have to keep secrets any longer.

[survivaltricks]

Yeah. . . we won't.

[his lips twitch a bit at that, smile wry and not quite reaching his eyes]

Anyway.

[why talk about secrets and sad things when CURRY]

Have you ever had curry before, Flayn?

[fishingforcompliments]

[curry is a very good distraction - and to answer his question]

I have not, but I have heard that it is delicious. I cannot wait to try it!

[survivaltricks]

The recipe I'm using is a family recipe passed down to me from my guardian.

You'll have to sign a non-disclosure agreement before learning it.

[. . . . . . . he's joking]

[fishingforcompliments]

[she doesn't realize he's joking, so.]

Oh, of course! I shall keep this a carefully-guarded secret. Where should I sign?

[survivaltricks]

[ah--]

Nowhere. I'm just kidding, don't worry.

[fishingforcompliments]

Oh...

[she would have understood! family recipes are important]

In that case, I shall not worry.
