How unfortunate indeed...

[ Thoma gets to live another night not leaning over a toilet, thank the archons. ]

[acquirement]

Maybe next time.

{ today he's a safe man, tomorrow he may not be. }

[localweirdo]

Why wouldn't I be? You are a guest in my humble home.

[She giggled before getting some other ingredients from the cabinet. There, he will see the usual. Salt, pepper, basal, sugar, mushrooms, some cilantro...]

Anything else you want me to add before I start cooking?

[acquirement]

I wouldn't dare suggest I know what would be required in a dish from Liyue.

Do you mind if I watch? I'm rather curious to see how it's prepared.

[wayofthehousekeeper]

Next time.

[ Note to self, find a way to escape next time. ]

Let's go see then.

[localweirdo]

Not at all! Prepare to be amazed at how good of a cook I can be!

[Nevermind that she only knows the basics considering she's too busy with work but that's fine! Smiling to herself, she quickly got the pan ready! As she boils a bit of oil to the pan, she starts getting ready to cook it up. Now she could attempt to impress him with her own fire skills but that may or may not be a good idea considering she might burn the place but!

As she continues to do so, she was eying Ayato to see if there was anything that would suggest he was amazed or not....]

{ hu tao don't lower your hp to do cooking... save it for an important fight.

nothing on his face seems to give much away, if anything he seems lost in thought, just watching the process quietly. }

Did you cook often at home?

{ he hates small talk really, but it's hopefully going to help her feel more at ease when he's literally watching her every step of the way. }

[localweirdo]

[As she continues cooking, she gave a small shrug.]

Not really, I'm afraid I'm too busy with the affairs of the dead to focus on cooking. If anything, I have my friend do most of the cooking for me. She just happens to be a chef so I might as well!

[And see that? hat is with a smile on her face!]

[acquirement]

I'm a little concerned with Liyue's mortality rate with the way you say that... but I can understand it. My work keeps me busy as well, after all.

You never cooked with her then, I take it?

[localweirdo]

You make it seem that people are dying left and right. Rest assured, death can certainly wait for them!

That said, I can cook with for her short periods of time. My job simply does not allow time to spend with her.

[acquirement]

Hopefully it's willing to wait a lifetime.

{ he turns, leaning against the counter while she chops and sizzles away. }

Is she not here? { his voice is softer as he asks this time, already presuming the answer. }

[mahoraga]

Ayato-san. How far are you from home?

un: kamisatoayato

[acquirement]

Hello. I'm not certain of why you're asking, but I'm currently in Amberfall. Did you need something?

[mahoraga]

Are your keys in your pocket?

[ the answer is NO ]

[acquirement]

I knew I'd forgotten something. Are you willing to bring them to the library?

[mahoraga]

I don't have anything else to do. [ He doesn't have a job yet and he does owe them for helping him out. ]

I have a feeling it will rain. If you're fine with me visiting your room, I can bring you a coat.

[acquirement]

I have nothing to hide. { yet } Though I doubt my coat will do much against the rain. Do we happen to have any spare umbrellas left?

[localweirdo]

[As she kept on looking at the meat and then back at Ayato, there was a moment of silence.]

No, I'm afraid not. Although, I'm not too sure if I want her here.

[After all, she doesn't know what this world is like nor does she know what will happen next.]

[acquirement]

Understandably so, it is a rather difficult situation to be in.

{ hu tao's demeanour so far had been rather playful, but even she's quietening at this, he notices. }

And how are you faring?

[localweirdo]

I believe I'm doing fairly well. Although, if I have to honest, I could probably be doing better.

[That said, as she looked at how cooked the meat was, she added the other ingredients into the mix.]

But I can't complain, not when my other best friends are here too.

[acquirement]

I'm glad you aren't alone, at least.

{ and he does mean that sincerely, she is younger and likely may be finder it harder to fit in -- sometimes it's a little hard to tell, mind you. }

Will you be cooking for those friends as well? Or am I a test subject for this?

[localweirdo]

I plan to! They are aware of how my cooking can be rather tasteful.

[Take that however you will as she puts on the finishing touches to said dish.]

[acquirement]

{ thankfully, that doesn't put any fear in him. in fact, it does the opposite. }

Oh? Now I truly an intrigued. I'm rather looking forward to it.

[localweirdo]

[With that, when she is done, she dumps said meat onto a dish. As she places it in front of Ayato, Hu Tao couldn't help but lean in.]

Now, please. Do eat and tell me what you think. I don't think you'll be disappointed!

[acquirement]

{ well, thankfully she didn't seem to put anything questionable in there, the coast feels clear. }

Very well. { he'll take the chopsticks set aside, lifting the plate with one hand and lifting the meat with the other. carefully, he'll blow on it first before taking his first bite.

he chews, staying quiet for a long moment. honestly it's hard to tell what he thinks right away, it doesn't seem to be a good or bad reaction? it looks like he's taking this very seriously though! }
