Yes, very. I hope the knives here do not go missing as well...

[Please!! They need to eat!!]

Are you also hungry?

[axilium]

I bet they will.

[he shrugs.]

Now that you mention it—I guess?

[fishingforcompliments]

[They'd better cook now while they still can, then.]

If you would like, I could attempt to prepare something for us both - but I must warn you, I am not a very talented cook.

[axilium]

... Well, now that you've said that, I'm curious to see how bad it'll be.

[fishingforcompliments]

[That gets a small smile out of her.]

Do not say I didn't warn you.

[But okay... back into the pantry to find ingredients for a meal for two!]

[axilium]

I live life on the edge.

[fishingforcompliments]

[rummaging around, rummaging around...]

Are there any dishes that you dislike?

[axilium]

Hm... I guess nothing super sweet?

[fishingforcompliments]

How do you feel about spicy?

[axilium]

Spicy's great.

[fishingforcompliments]

Spicy it is!

[time to get to work. she emerges from the pantry with an assortment of spices. there are so many of them. they will probably breathe fire if she uses them all. maybe she just wants to have them on hand just in case?]

[axilium]

[...

he raises an eyebrow but says nothing.]

[fishingforcompliments]

[with the spices set aside, she goes to find some vegetables to chop up! ...they're not very evenly cut. at all. at this rate they're going to cook unevenly.

anyway, now she's coating the vegetables in olive oil and ... every single one of the spices she picked out before. oh dear.]

[axilium]

[belph moves to fetch a glass of water.]

[fishingforcompliments]

[and into the oven they go to roast!

flayn looks pleased with herself. she even opens it up every couple of minutes to see how it's doing.]

[axilium]

Can I ask what you're making?

[fishingforcompliments]

I call it a volcanic vegetable medley!

[BAD.]

[axilium]

That's... a very interesting name.

[fishingforcompliments]

With all the spices, I believe the name suits it.

[axilium]

You sure did dump all of them in there.

[fishingforcompliments]

They are all delicious, so they should be delicious together, should they not? And very flavorful!

[axilium]

I don't think that's how it works, but okay.

[fishingforcompliments]

Why not? A little of this, a little of that, and you are treated to a variety of flavors.

[



she stopped checking on the oven because they're talking. it's starting to smell kind of smoky.]

[axilium]

[UH]

Hey—you might want to turn that off!

[fishingforcompliments]

—oh, not again!

[COOKING IS SO HARD

anyway she switches the oven off, opens it up, and reaches in to grab the baking sheet, then yelps. HOT.

time to grab a hand towel and bring it out again.

it's so smoky. the vegetables are unrecognizable. dinner is ruined.

flayn pouts.]
