It still tastes good! I was going to compliment you on it, if you'd made it yourself.

[sageguidance]

Would that I could say I did! But I shall not take credit for that, this time. Perhaps I could ask Souji if he knows...

[guestservices]

He sure knows a lot of things, doesn't he?

[giving off :3 vibes...]

[sageguidance]

[ vul's eternal :3 vibes ]

He claims to have always done most of the chores whence he hails, so I suppose that does explain his cooking expertise... Unlike me, who has only touched a stove once or twice before this.

[guestservices]

Skills like that come with practice! Do you find that you enjoy cooking, now that you've been doing it more?

[sageguidance]

Hmm... 'Tis given me a new appreciation for culinarians, that is for certain. It is a challenge, but satisfying when you get the end result you want.

... Though, no one should hope I become the Scion's new cook, if I were to ever return.

[guestservices]

They shouldn't? Why not?

[sageguidance]

There are already those much better at it than I, for one! But... we do tend to be quite busy, anyroad.

[guestservices]

Hmm. Someone else having more experience at it than you isn't really a reason to just give up on it... if you're all so busy, maybe helping out would make the cooking go by faster?

[sageguidance]

Oh—worry not, I should not give up on it, I know. I am simply a better diplomat than I am a chef.

[guestservices]

That's fair enough! As long as you're not giving up on it, then.

[sageguidance]

Not at all. 'Tis a useful skill to have, regardless—one that should come in handy while travelling, for one.

[guestservices]

It should! Are the ingredients over there very much like the ingredients in your world? Or will you have to change your recipes up?

[sageguidance]

[ He shakes his head. ]

Differing names aside, 'twould seem most ingredients are fairly similar. I've yet to run into much that's drastically different from what I am familiar with.

[guestservices]

That's convenient!

[ :3 ]

[sageguidance]

[ you are so :3 today ]

Hah, quite! But enough about cooking, yes? How fare you as of late?

[guestservices]

About the same as ever, honestly... what about you?

[sageguidance]

Flooded with work as usual? Hm... Mayhap we ought to change the scenery, then. How about something to your liking?

[ that doesn't answer her question. it's fine. ]

[guestservices]

Why are you changing the subject, Alphinaud?

[sageguidance]

—Hm? What ever do you mean?

[guestservices]

I asked how you were doing, and you started talking about the scenery...? That's like talking about the weather, in a dream.

[sageguidance]

Ah—forgive me. I suppose I have gotten ahead of myself. I was simply thinking how perhaps you could use a pleasant change in scenery—more so than myself, I would think!

[guestservices]

Mmmmmhm.

So. How are you doing?

[sageguidance]

... Hah. Better, now that we have our peace and quiet returned to us. Last week was—well.

[ you know. ]

[guestservices]

Last week was ... a lot, from what I heard.

[a beat.]

But it sounds like you all dealt with it well enough.
