[...Maybe he should just tell her? It will save her the work, and it's not like he has to pay for it. On the other hand, she might take that as a slight to her cooking, and Tisse is a long way out. It's not like he can't just go tomorrow, either. ...Or some other time, given the current state of affairs.

Besides, this is free food, and Elda's a really good cook. This is a win/win for him.]

Elda? Is cooking hard?

[...That's the conversation he's decided to have with her while he watches her cook.]

[matchbreaker]

[ What.

... She actually laughs at that. Yes, she does indeed have rice and she has some eggs and vegetables and not a lot of chicken. Solution on hand? She's going to make some home made fried rice, starting with getting the rice cooked up nice and then moving on. So this part? No. The rest of it'll be more flashy. ]

Not really! I mean, once you experiment a little, it can be pretty fun.

[feistytrader]

Don't you get burned a lot?

[Although he can't imagine it being as bad as getting set on fire by that lizard... Or a lot of other things, at this point.]

Or burn your food?

[matchbreaker]

[ what. ]

Who's wonky enough with cooking they burn themselves? I mean sure when you're starting making things and your timing isn't great you might burn this or that, but yourself?

[feistytrader]

Don't you heat up a bunch of water and oil on an open flame?

[Look cooking sounds sort of hardcore when you've never tried it before in your life, alright-]

[matchbreaker]

Well yes, but...

[ . . . Wow. She exhales, going to work on chopping vegetables ]

That's not going to happen unless you're being careless.

[feistytrader]

What about slicing your finger?

[...Silver these are questions to ask after someone is done cooking, not while they're trying to focus-]

[matchbreaker]

Same?

[ Boy, what. ]

[feistytrader]

...So it really isn't difficult? I could probably learn to do it?

[matchbreaker]

Look, are you asking to help or what?

[ Okay she's giving up on these vegetables here with a snort because this conversation is going to fuck up her chopping. Oh, wait.

Is the rice done? No, not yet. ]

[feistytrader]

I knew that asshole was lying to me- I, uh, yeah, I do.

[Holy shit, does he get to come stand next to her? He's going to go stand next to her. This is fucking thrilling.]

[matchbreaker]

Okay, good. Look, it isn't that dangerous, but you do need to be careful. If you're cropping things up, you need to watch how you're using the knife. ... Or no, actually I'll show you how to cut things in a bit. For now, can you get three eggs and some butter, salt, and pepper?

[ Teaching Silver some cooking that's...

This is nice. ]

[feistytrader]

[He goes to get three eggs! ...He doesn't stop to put the eggs down before getting the rest of the ingredients and is probably going to drop something at this rate-]

[matchbreaker]

[ Oh he better not.

... But she trusts him to handle that so she's just finally checking on the rice... nach, bit more. ]
