❝Greetings. You have reached Kamisato Ayato, however, I seem to be occupied currently. Leave a message and if it is important I'll get back to you.❞

Greetings.

My name is Archer. I wanted to suggest something for the Support Group you have. Namely, I want to offer some cooking lessons, with also a focu on how to cook while out in the wilderness.

I wanted to see if you'd think there'd be use for something like that.

[acquirement]

{ oh ayato definitely finds her entertaining, he just wouldn't trust an entire nation under her care. }

Perhaps one day I could introduce you. { though he likely doesn't know what level of chaos that would cause. } Nor are you boring me. The... distraction is welcomed.

{ he'll focus his gaze on their surroundings again then, unsure of where to pick, or where to begin. }

Where do you normally stay when you visit here? Around there will be fine.

{ which may speak volumes for where he wants to be at the moment, and why he accepted this offer to begin with. }

[acquirement]

Good day, Archer.

That does sound incredibly helpful. There are lot of people here without the ability to look out for themselves when traveling. { himself included. } Depending on how you wanted to go about it, either a business or charity would be helpful. Either way, you'd need space and equipment depending on how you wanted to do it.

[If there's one thing she can do it's offer a distraction. She listens to what he says, hearing the meaning in what he does not say as much as what he does, and she smiles warmly as she slips her hand into his again and tilts her head towards one of the glowing bridges.]

This way, then.

[It should give him a good view. Though it isn't visible from where they are, as they cross two of the bridges to the highest point of the floating islands a cosy little cottage comes into view. There's a forge tucked against the side of the building and several tables strewn with half-deconstructed pieces of technology and papers covered in sketches.]

This is where I usually stay. [As if it wasn't obvious. She looks up and him and squeezes his hand.] Sorry about the mess.

[acquirement]

{ inazuma was always so overly restrictive when it comes to touch that he sometimes wonders how difficult it will be to go back there, especially when the warmth from her hand offers comfort. especially at the moment. }

No need to apologise. This is your space, after all.

{ and he won't say it, but without thoma his own rooms would be absolute chaos all the time. the only reason it looks organised is because the other still cleans up after him, even here. }

It's very beautiful here.

I don't know. Eating that cookie might be a bad idea....

misfire

[mistsplitter]

I ordered some prawns from the market. May I ask you to pick them up on your way home? I'd like to surprise Ayato with freshly cooked tempura for dinner.

( ˘⌣˘)♡(˘⌣˘ ) I also can't wait to see you again. I'll be waiting.

[acquirement]

When is eating a cookie ever a bad idea? (´･ω･`)?

that kaomoji is so cute pls

[acquirement]

I'm afraid your surprise has already been foiled.

{ he could have tried to pretend to be cloud, but even he has no idea how he'd actually message ayaka back. and he wouldn't go low enough to snoop on the man's phone for details. }

[godofdust]

I modelled it after the mountaintops of Liyue.

[To a point. The light there never quite reaches this level of golden clarity even at sunset, but it was never meant to be a perfect copy. It's more of an ideal. Liyue through Guizhong's eyes, rather than the reality.]

I would hope that you can see them yourself, one day.

[But then, she would hope that everyone would be able to see the beauty of Liyue at least once in their lives.]

You can set up wherever you like, and I'll bring some of my work over and join you. How does that sound?

[starryaied]

Not when they're burnt! I'm not even sure if one of them was baked the right way! (¬▂¬)

[mistsplitter]

[ ... Ayato sucks. Ayaka isn't even embarrassed about the contents of her message getting to her brother. She's more disappointed the surprise is no longer a surprise. ]

Indeed it has. I really should have just called.

[acquirement]

Then Liyue must be very beautiful. Sadly the likelihood of me being able to leave Inazuma for long isn't high, but I may have chances to in the future if Ayaka is able to take on more responsibility once Cloud is able to help her.

{ but he'll nod in return. he's used to sitting on the floor, so he takes a spot a few metres from the edge, overlooking the side where the glow of the bridge is visible along with the next floating landmass.

then he'll start by sketching an outline, very lightly on the canvas he has with him. }

[acquirement]

Is there a right way to bake something?

{ this is a genuine question- }

[starryaied]

Depends on chewy or soft you want them.

It depends on how long you put it in the oven, right?

[acquirement]

How are they supposed to be?

I haven't tried one yet, so I certainly couldn't say how to bake one.

[acquirement]

{ would she have rather have been lied to and he pretended he never saw it, when it's clearly showing as 'read'? doubtful. }

You could always think of another surprise, or leave it for another day. I would have pretended I didn't see, but when you noticed my name later I didn't want you to feel even more disappointed.

[starryaied]

I heard from people that it depends on the temperature too.

But wait, you never tried a cookie? At all?

[No seriously, what?]

[acquirement]

Does it? I never asked for details at the bakery other than flavours.

They aren't a treat we have where I'm from. At least where I live. Mochi and dango are the ones most common. I've started trying some from this world, but I don't intend to try everything at once.

{ he's giving a good go sat it though... }

[mistsplitter]

The prawns are fresh. They would not taste their best if they're not cooked soon, however.

We'll still have it tonight. Though since it is you who received this message, I don't suppose you have the time to pass by the market, Ayato?

[starryaied]

Then we need to make sure you get a cookie right away! And you need to try the chocolate chip, they're the most famous and easiest to make!

[Pause]

...As long as you know what you're doing anyway.

[acquirement]

I understand that, but you haven't purchased them yet, have you?

Or is this an order for collection that you paid for before?

[acquirement]

So this cookie in question was made by someone who didn't know what they were doing?

[starryaied]

…

But at least they tried, right?

[unknowntodeath]

I was thinking more of a "charity" for now. Who knows, maybe I'll expand in the future, but right now I have no desire to actually start a business up.

Would you have any suggestions where I might be able to ask about a space for it? You seem to have a lot of connections, which is why I contacted you.
