I suppose it would make sense not to have that many resources under the sea... even still, what you've had smells very good!
[ Or you're going to open those wounds. Anyway, Niah watches the ferret... That's it. He doesn't react much other than that, but San Lang is acknowledged. ]
I don't think that's an excuse considering they have such technology to make a protective bubble. If anything, they should have a bigger array of spices.
[ oh. joonghyuk is really passionate about cooking, huh.
he makes a noise of assent about his injuries - yes, he's being careful - and then comes over, folding his hands gently in front of himself and tucking them into his sleeves. ]
Have you asked the Watchers if they could provide you any...? They seem forthcoming with those sorts of things...
Mm... I think the Watchers are very kind. They want to help us - that much is clear.

[ You'RE JUST SAYING THAT bEcAUSE ONE OF THEM MIGHT BE YOUR BOYFRIEND. He starts cooking even faster? If that's even possible? The sizzle seems to be louder? ]

No...? [ has he??? ] I don't particularly have anything to ask for... Though, if you would like, I could also try and get some sort of spices from them, to make a bigger collection.
...I don't think so? [ ??? ] I thought to ask for a change of clothes for my robes, as none of the clothing here is really to my taste, [ not quite ye olde enough ] but then our things were returned to us, so...
...There is not really much in that regard to have, left.
[ hm, ]
I suppose I could ask for a dish similar to my mother's cooking, but - well, that is something no one should ask for. [ whatever very brief cloud of sadness crossed his expression vanishes, and he laughs, a little. it's a joke!! ]
[ he reaches up and scratches his cheek. ] She's only just learning how to cook. Once, I ran to the house because I saw smoke billowing from the windows, thinking she'd been attacked, but she was just trying to make stew.
...Well. It is only very recently that we have had to cook for ourselves at all.

xie lian shifts a little, tucking his hands in his sleeves. ] Mostly the basics. How to cook a few types of meat, and how to make rice... I can make beef stew, and mantou. But, beyond that - I am really only learning what not to do.

Make sure not to make too many abrupt movements.

I have. They seem reasonable in their exchanges which comes to a surprise. I would never be so lenient, considering we have so many troublemakers.

You're very good at this, so I thought maybe I could pick up some skills...
