Cooking lessons?

[wontforbidtherain]

Since I'm cooking anyway, I might as well make it a bond. Interested?

[malignstar]

I'm always up for more bonding!

[wontforbidtherain]

Right. What do you already know about cooking?

[malignstar]

[ Holds up one finger ]

I can make a mean soup! And sometimes a pretty good salad. After that, we're more off-script.

[ Basically, he's decent and can ensure nobody starves. ]

[wontforbidtherain]

Well, I'm making stew now, so I don't know what I can teach you.

[malignstar]

I could probably stand to learn some fancy cutting tips, if you've got any.

[wontforbidtherain]

Keep the pieces roughly the same size, regardless of what you are making. They'll cook more evenly.

[malignstar]

That's not bad. But I was hoping for a demonstration.

[ He sets his elbows on the surface and looks back at her expectantly, like a kid waiting for a magic show. ]

better add [bond] to the subject line.

[wontforbidtherain]

Just letting you know what I'm doing.

[and will pick up the knife and a fennel bulb to demonstrate]

[malignstar]

[ Watching with genuine amusement ]

[wontforbidtherain]

What?

[malignstar]

Nothing. I just wanted to see you in your zone.

[wontforbidtherain]

Zone?

[malignstar]

You know the place where you're in total control. All focused on the objective and stuff.

[wontforbidtherain]

Ah. Like when you are performing a ritual.

[malignstar]

Uh, sure, just like that.

[wontforbidtherain]

[finsihes with her vegetables, and starts on the fish.]

How are you doing regarding... all of this?

[malignstar]

All of what?

[wontforbidtherain]

Today's trial?

[malignstar]

[ He starts tapping at the surface with a claw. ]

I'm just worried about SF.

[wontforbidtherain]

Are you friends with her?

[malignstar]

[ He runs a hand raggedly through his hair. ]

I don't think she sees it that way right now...
