Katsumori Dorm

[presgarddihellis]

[Miskatonic Smith has been resting like a good boy--

today, Arkham Raven is sporting his stapled and bandaged arm in a makeshift sling to prevent overusing it while he one-handedly, determinedly, with a grim expression makes the attempts to make some comfort food in what ingredients he brought in from the school cafeteria.

there are tasty savory smells from managing to wrangle garlic and oil but now he is glaring death at an onion for not cooperating with his single-handed knife skills.]

[coming in as she smells this]

...Should you be up?

Re: Katsumori Dorm

[presgarddihellis]

[looks to her out of the corner of his eye before returning the death stare to the onion. and the knife.]

... I don't know how long I should be resting for.

But I haven't pushed myself.

[Puck already prayed for that and he is a generous god, after all.]

Re: Katsumori Dorm

[darkholder]

What is the risk of resting longer?

[not disbelieving as much as curious.]

Re: Katsumori Dorm

[presgarddihellis]

My own sanity.

[no. he's being a bit dramatic.]

... there isn't any real danger. I am just restless.

[ To make matters worse, right in the middle of all this, there comes a knock on the door! ]

[GLARES AT THE DOOR.]

2/2

[presgarddihellis]

[... puts the flame to low and goes over to open it.]





Miss Foxglove.

[tailsofwoe]

Nei hou! Don't look so excited to see me.

[presgarddihellis]

[the psychic homesickness damage he is taking from hearing that greeting after a decade estranged from his homeland help

he maintains his even expression.]

This is just how I usually look.

Have you come to ask me to tell stories?

[PLEASE HE IS DYING OF BOREDOM OF BEING LAID UP.]

[tailsofwoe]

As promised. Is now a good time?

[presgarddihellis]

[... steps back and gestures for her to enter.]

I was making the attempt to do some light cooking...

[the onion is still there. on the chopping board. mocking him.]

[tailsofwoe]

[ As she steps inside, she looks at the kitchenette, then back at him. ]

... Isn't that a rather challenging activity to attempt with only one working arm?

[presgarddihellis]

Mildly.

Not challenging enough that I am pushing myself.

[tailsofwoe]

Just pushing yourself to the limits of your frustration, I imagine.

[presgarddihellis]

... I believed there would be more protest to my going to the cafeteria just yet.

[tailsofwoe]

Yes, I imagine you would be carried back and placed under formal house arrest in short order.

[ Motions toward the onion on the chopping board. ]

Do you require some assistance?

[presgarddihellis]

[that would be too undignified for Gehrman Sparrow. he has a rep, you know! (no one here knows...)]

... yes.

Thank you.

[tailsofwoe]

No problem. I like doing people favors, especially when it comes at no personal cost.

[ Approaches the cutting board, picking up the kitchen knife and giving it a deft little twirl in her hands. ]

[presgarddihellis]

I'll reserve my judgement for when you apply spice to the meal.

[no spice, no approvals.

taking a seat nearby, though.]

[tailsofwoe]

Wait, I thought I was just mincing.

Speaking of which, how do you need this cut, anyway?

[presgarddihellis]

Did you want me to continue to be on my feet and potentially overdoing it?

[you can't bully him about this and not have him cash in on it!]

Julienne. I was thinking a simple stir fry.

[tailsofwoe]

[ how could she set herself up like this!! ]

... You'll have to direct me. I'm good with my hands and handy with a knife by extension, but I wouldn't call myself an expert chef.

[ As she says this, though, she starts cutting the onion. True to her claim, the motions are very fluid and the cuts perfectly even. ]

[presgarddihellis]

Fortunately, I am very good at walking people through the necessary steps. And also, it is very difficult to truly do a stir fry incorrectly.

[just if you burn it to shit...]

But you do want the heat to be a bit higher. I turned it down to answer the door.

[Just a guy pinning up a cool new notice on the bulletin board, looking oddly morose about it. Well, at least it's up now... good luck lil buddy]
