I do happen to need a tastetester, if you know anyone interested...

No, I've upgraded to pancakes. What about you?
[ is he here to eat more of phoenix's terrible cooking and suffer? maybe ]
no subject
I was going to make myself some tea. [ ... ] I thought perhaps Beau might like some as well, but I don't know her tastes well enough to say.
[ they've only known each other a few weeks, but her suffering still struck a chord. ]
no subject
If you want to bring Beau something, you can always lend me a hand.
[ cooking assistant dimitri ]
no subject
Ah, gladly. Anything you need.
[ ... ]
She clearly cares for you quite a lot.
no subject
We've been through a lot.
[ in ye olde blues.... ] You probably have a few people like that, from your previous experience.
[ making some pancake batter!!!! dima will discover he is actually v good at pancakes but will make a mess ]
no subject
I'm sure we all do.
[ is it worse that they all have such important people here? would it be better to be strangers? ]
I'm sure she appreciates your company. [ ... ] And the pancakes.
no subject
It helps, I think.

Well, you're the only one in range, so you'll have to do. Pull up a seat.
[ he won't poison dimitri this time.... maybe. ]
That's a nice thought, though.
no subject
It's true though. I think the intent behind a meal is often more important than anything else. That's why it can be so comforting, no?
no subject
Does that apply to culinary disasters?
[ it's such a sweet thought though... ]
no subject
I do not have much of a discerning palate, so yes.
[ still... ]
But this isn't for me. You should give it your best effort for Beau's sake.
no subject
Suppose I could spare a few for you. There's a lot of batter.
[ and he is definitely making them now... they smell good? maybe he's not a total disaster after all ]
no subject
Oh, they're sweet, right? I quite like sweets.
[ he doesn't want to steal from an injured woman, but if there's extra, he won't decline perfectly nice pancakes. ]
I think Asch served them with some sort of chocolate syrup as well... Do you think Beau would like that?
no subject
Oh... Did Asch make you pancakes? I must have missed that.
[ just nodding in response to the sweet. ]
Traditionally with maple syrup... but sometimes fruit, chocolate chips, or nutella.
