I thought I told you to leave me alone.

[ Oh, hot pot! The (1) dish she knows how to make thanks to Yoon. ]

Let's see, how did it go again?

[ Ai's going to take the knife to chop up the ingredients. What is there? ]

[strawsandals]

[ The same exact ingredients he used when he taught Ai, actually! :) ]

[idealies]

[ There's no mistaking whose Palace this is now. Is Yoon himself nowhere to be seen? ]

[strawsandals]

[ He is nowhere to be seen, yep! ]

[idealies]

[ Gotcha! So after seeing the ingredients, Ai has an announcement to make! ]

Yoon-san taught me how to make hot pot once. The ingredients look like the same ones he used before. He had a recipe -

[ And here I forget if phones work in Nekiya but if she can't retrieve her notes, she's going to try to recite his recipe to the best of her memory. ]

I think this dish must be important to him. Could you all help me to make it the way he would like it?

[emptyself]

Ah, that sounds like a good idea.

[ he smiles. maybe that's why he wasn't eating anything soujuurou put out for him? homesickness-- he gets it. ]

Tell me how I can help.

[idealies]

Could you chop these? Like this -

[ Ai demonstrates slicing the veggies. If she were cooking for herself she wouldn't be so nitpicky about the way she cuts things, but Yoon was very thorough with his instructions! ]

[emptyself]

[ and, in the exact same manner as ai does, soujuurou starts quickly chopping the vegetables, each piece exactly the same. after a few minutes, he'll hand them back to ai. ]

Here. Hope this helps.

Now that I think about it, he was making hot pot when I first met him.

[With a nod,]

Yeah, let's recreate it.

[idealies]

His hot pot was delicious! Just the meal everyone could use right now~

[ THANK GOODNESS WE HAVE A REAL CHEF IN ARVEN. Ai may have the recipe but a recipe does not a good cook make, please help her watch the fire. ]

[supherb]

With how cold it is and how hungry we are? Definitely. Yoon's meal proportions are gonna come in handy.

[He's on it! He'll oversee what's being added and when to make sure it turns out right.]

[destage]

I'd be happy to lend a hand! I'm gonna make sure the fire doesn't go out, but let us know how we can help, Hoshino-san!

[LET'S COOKING MAMA THIS SHIT!!!]

[idealies]

Thank you, Maizono-san and Atropos! We'll want to bring the broth to boil and season it.

[ Let's goooo! ]

[gardenful]

[ Oh, she feels lucky that someone here knows what they should do. ]

I'm no chef, but tell me what you need me to do and I'll do it.

[idealies]

Could you get these chopped into about thiiis width?

[ She passes over...let's say carrots I'm making this up and gestures with her fingers. ]

[moodwrecker]

...I can help.

[idealies]

[ Ai beams brightly at Aubrey.]

Thanks! We still need the mushrooms prepared...liiike this.

[ Mimicking the way Yoon had chopped them. She's the least fussy person about food but she knows Yoon takes his cooking seriously! ]

[idealitas]

[ That sounds really cute... ]

I hope for your success in recreating it.

[ He isn't going to help unfortunately, but! Moral support. ]

[idealies]

[ Ai throws him a thumbs up from across the room. Every idol needs a fan just like every cook needs a cheerleader... I'm not sure where I'm going with this metaphor, but that's just to say, Yi Sang's support is appreciated! ]

[metagame]

Hey... We have some extra potatoes from earlier. Would that be of any help to you?

[idealies]

Yes! Could you help to peel them and cut them?

[metagame]

Yes!

[There wouldn't be an extra knife around, would there?

If not, Atem's the kinda guy to hide a utility knife in his belt, linen apron and skirt. In case of assassins, y'know?

He sets to work to help. The potatoes are going to be extra lumpy from clumsy peeling job, but at least they'll be evenly sliced!]

[idealies]

Thanks!

[ While he works on the potatoes, she chops the veggies. She's a little slow with the knife because she's trying to slice it in the way Yoon taught her. ]

We can add it to the hot pot when the soup is boiling and seasoned. I don't know much about cooking, but Yoon-san taught me this much!

[metagame]

We should save him some.

[Some musing outloud as he peels extra lumpy potatoes.]

[idealies]

Absolutely.

[ Chop chop. ]

It's fun cooking with everyone, isn't it? We should have meals together like this more often.
