[ well!

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

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

[selfconcept]

"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... ]
