[feistytrader]

I'm just asking. You're really into the family recipes, so I thought you might swear by them and only them.

[He opens his mouth to say more- not that there's anything wrong with her cooking of course- then rapidly decides against it before he says something really bad.]

[matchbreaker]

... No, I know how to make my own things. Hell, you've had them many times before now, especially back when you lived here! Usually I only break out grandma's recipes for important times.

[ She shakes her head, brushing back some hair and... ]

Do you remember that breaded chicken I used to make? That's an original to me.

[feistytrader]

[Breaded chicken... How is he supposed to remember a detail like that? He frowns for a moment as he tries to recall it...]

Why don't you refresh my memory? ...When we can taste things again.

[matchbreaker]

I'd love to!

[ Even if she's a little sad he can't recall it now...

Oh well.

Have some extra spicy curry. ]

[feistytrader]

[...This smells really good. Assaults his nose with spice. He calmly starts shoveling it down like it isn't intended to burn his tongue or esophagus in the process.]

Hey Elda, could I ask you something?

[matchbreaker]

Of course!

[ . . . She's his mom.... mom, ehehhee - right? ]

[feistytrader]

...Your family, the one in your memories. Could you describe them to me?

[...]

In appearance. I want to sketch them out more so I'll know them when I meet them.

[Yup. Nailed it. Perfect.]

[matchbreaker]

[ Oh... that's. Mmm. ]

I... alright.

[ INHALE. ]

The easiest to describe is actually my granddaughter. Err- her's, I mean. Her name's Karin, and she's the spitting image of me, looks petty much identical other than the fact she's much more curvy.

[feistytrader]

[Uh-huh, uh-huh--

He pauses what he's eating for a moment to stare right at Elda.]

She's you with a chest?

[Regret will come later, for now he just blurts it out. Do genetics really work like that?]

[matchbreaker]

... [ . . .

She gives him a look of really? ]

... She's also a little rounder in general. But yes, that's the big thing. We've got basically the same face ship and the same big eyes.

[feistytrader]

[...Look at how much curry he's stuffing in his face. Wow. This sure is great.]

Are hers red and spooky too?

[matchbreaker]

No, hers are closer to a dark brown color, actually. And her hair's a darker shade of purple.

[ ... Spooky, really? She - she shifts to catlike and ]

... Did I do it? I've been trying to work it out.

[feistytrader]

[...Whoa. He stops eating for a moment to get a closer look now that Elda's doing it and isn't, you know... Super pissed.]

You managed it.

[matchbreaker]

It's a matter of tension.

[ Exhale and the eyes go back to normal. ]

[feistytrader]

[No wonder why her eyes do that all the time.

Don't... Don't say that, don't-]

Have you gotten anything else strange, like a third eye that can see into the future?

[matchbreaker]

[ Her gaze falls a little and- ]

Nothing that absurd. But I can... erase memories.

[feistytrader]

[...Oh yeah sure that's cool that makes-]

How did you figure that one out?

[It's Elda, and he's not too worried about Elda having an ability like that, but out of all of the ones he's heard, that's definitely one of the freakier ones.]

[matchbreaker]

By accident. I... Happened to brush the head of a few people and they lost hours off their day.

[ she still feels bad about that. ]

I've been working it out, how to turn it on and off and control it.
