[ Mhyk your recipes. ]

Then what are we waiting for? You promised!

[perfectdistance]

I didn't. I said I'd do it.

[He does get up with his small bucket of fish though.]

Lead the way.

[powerplay]

'Tis this way, Cook.

[ And she heads down the street, but she is definitely hovering over and around Nero's bucket of fish, much curiosity. ]

You fish?

[perfectdistance]

Usually don't gotta, but. [He shrugs.]

Not like my usual ingredient providers are here.

[powerplay]

Why, are you going to start up a restaurant here too or something?

[perfectdistance]

Maybe. Mostly I mean, I gotta feed myself with something.

[powerplay]

Fishing is easy! You just sit there and wait for the fish to swim right into your line! Don't you get bored?

[perfectdistance]

I'm borin', remember. Suits me fine.

[powerplay]

Boo. What do you even do in a day?

[ As they wander closer to the cafe. ]

[perfectdistance]

At home? Cook, mostly. Clean up afterward.

[He gets stuck with missions and stuff, but He's boring.]

[powerplay]

...And?

[ ???? ]

What if things are already clean?

[perfectdistance]

Garden.

This cafe?

[powerplay]

See?! Now there's something new! Do you garden flowers?

[ She just opens the door and heads right in while talking. She doesn't hold open the door, you can just catch it. ]

[perfectdistance]

Herbs, mostly.

[He keeps it open by kicking the door.

Who's gonna yell at him?]

[powerplay]

[ Nobody! Least of all Power, who is already rummaging around the Cafe. ]

For cooking!

[ What else would herbs be for! Anyway, she holds up a sealed, unopened bag of chicken meat. It's dangerously close to the expiry date (probably), but it just makse the cut. ]

[perfectdistance]

[Well it's... as good as they're really gonna get, he'll start prepping it for getting fried.]

Exactly. For cooking.

[powerplay]

Why don't you just buy the herbs also, though?

[ She will... as usual, start to hover around him. ]

[perfectdistance]

They're better fresh outta the ground.

[As usual, this has only happened twice so far.

Again if she tries to steal it, he'll smack her hands away.]

[powerplay]

[ Noooooo.

This time, she does reach out for a bit of food and gets smacked away.

Single tear. ]

Does it really matter that much?

[perfectdistance]

It's better cooked.

[Don't be a Bradley in the kitchen, or else he really will kick her out to wait.]

Yeah. Herbs can vary in taste dependin' on how fresh they are.

[powerplay]

[ She's pretty close to being a Bradley in the kitchen. ]

I don't notice these kinds of things. I think humans put a lot of weight into food.

[ Well, cooked food is delicious, of course. She's just, you know. UNCULTURED. ]

[perfectdistance]

[Terrible.]

You like it better cooked, right?

[powerplay]

Hmm. Well, I like it raw, too. Before I came to the city, everything I ate was raw.

[perfectdistance]

Humans can't eat most stuff raw.

[Mithra's not a human.]

[powerplay]

[ NEITHER ARE YOU. ]

Then why do humans have stuff like basashi? That's raw meat!
