[ Look... Hien would also eat sand if that's all there is, but you're allowed to have preferences!!! ]

"I'll keep that in mind. Here. Hold my hand."

[ He holds his hand out to him. ]

[oversea]

[ okay.

he holds it......? ]

[selfconcept]

[ Okay! Once he feels Thorns's hand in his, he teleports to the monochrome kitchen! Because walking there is too much of a hassle when the maze changes directions whenever the heck it wants, especially when you can't see!!!

Luckily, Hien's vision is restored briefly so he goes to gather ingredients quickly and gets to cooking right away while he still has his vision!! aaaaaaa

Thorns can either sit and wait or just watch. Hien wouldn't mind either choice. ]

[oversea]

[ well!

once he resettles after TELEPORTING, he watches hien scurry around. ]

Let me know if there's any way I can help.

"How good are you at meal prep?"

[ Not like Thorns has to be a pro, but Hien is also curious. ]

"I'm fine though. This will be simple to make."

[oversea]

I can do it.

[ he needs to know how to cook in order to survive, anyway. ]

But if you're sure.

[ it just feels odd to let someone else do all of the works ]

[selfconcept]

[ Hien thinks about it and pushes two carrots and a kitchen knife over to Thorns's direction. ]

"Can you dice these? Into very small pieces."

[oversea]

[ okay.

he will silently do as instructed. ]

[selfconcept]

[ This would feel oddly domestic, if it weren't for the setting's effects that keep driving Hien to make the best soup that's ever been made and trying to think of a sob story connected to that, but he's... holding on pretty well.

After the carrots have been diced enough, Hien gathers all the ingredients and cooks them. The end result is a very creamy carrot and sweet potato soup! He pours that into a bowl and hands it to Thorns with a spoon, just in time for him to go blind again. ]

"This should be good enough."

[oversea]

[ thank you, convenient blindness.

but he will take the spoon so that he can dig in. ]

... It's good.

[selfconcept]

"Good. I'm glad."

[ Just a little proud that Thorns likes it despite the probable lack of standards or expectations. ]

"If you want to eat some again, let me know. I'll make it for you anytime."

[ He'll even make gazpacho after their sparring routines... ]
