[a small groan]

I know, right? I felt kind of bad for him. . . he handled it like a champ, but it still really sucks.

Ideally, next time won't be so personalized... But still.

[the fact that she is thinking about a next time. . .]

I wish I knew what the purpose of these. . . trials? Was.

What do the ghosts get out of making us face our fears in an underground cave? Or locking us in a room and making us search for the key to escape?

Smith guessed that it's a part of some kind of ritual, I think... I don't think it's a bad thought, even if we don't know just yet.

[DEEP FROWN

I really hate that theory.

I'm not quite a fan of it either. At any rate... I hope we have the opportunity to learn more soon.

[grumbling]

Yeah. . . though in the meantime, have you seen the kitchen?

[she nods!]

I have, yes.

[rubbing the back of his head, a bit sheepish]

That's why I'm here. I know Smith has been feeling nostalgic for some of his favorite foods from home, so. . .

[trailing off]

Oh... Thank you. That's very kind of you.

[blinks. is it?? it just seemed like the most natural thing for him to do]

What about you, Star? Are there any snacks you miss from back home?

[thinking about it for a moment, before]

I suppose... There was a stew they used to make for our birthdays. Something warming while the weather turned cold.

[PERFECT]

Do you remember what was in it?

It's not something I prepared for myself. But from what I do remember... Venison, potatoes, carrots, and a few other vegetables.

[sounds like a pretty simple stew. . . he can work with that]

Do you remember anything about the broth?

No, I'm afraid I don't. But - you don't have to go out of your way, truly.

It's not going out of my way if I could use the practice.

...I suppose. In that case - thank you.

Don't thank me until you've tasted it. It could turn out to be the worst stew anyone has ever made.

[it won't be. he knows how to make a stew]

[a little bit amused]

I'll reserve my judgment, then.

[smiling!]

That said, I'll do my absolute best! So it shouldn't turn out bad at all.

I appreciate it.

[after a moment]

...It was something my sister really enjoyed, too.

[oh!!]

I didn't know you had a sister. Are you close?

[giving a nod! and a little more fondly, even if there's some sadness mixed into her tone, more than she usually lets herself show]

Twins, so... We were rarely apart from each other.

[ah]

[a brief moment of hesitation, before he carefully prods]

Did something happen to her?
