I have a question for you. Both of you. I hope that's okay.

[Filtered from Extra Saber]

Um... I have a question. And a request. Is it possible to make things in the tower? Food, I mean. I know they provide us with food, but I'd really like to try making something of my own.

[She frets a little, but doesn't hesitate much when she speaks up again.]

... And that's where the request comes in. I was hoping someone would be able to teach me how to make something. A... a cake, to be exact.

A cake?

[ Rika the sixteen year old girl who spent way-too-long trapped in 195s0 America perks. She's made quite a few cakes. Baking is what girls do, you know. ]

I know how to make quite a few cakes. I could write the recipes down for you, Miss.

You're really worried about cake? Man, I thought you were practical, too.

...I know how to bake cakes, Miss. I could help you if you'd like. Or just give you a recipe.

[She frowns.]

What do you expect me to do? Sit in shock after everything that happened? I did that yesterday, actually.

I just... don't want to dwell on everything that happened, okay? So I'm trying to occupy myself with something else.

[There's something... off about Saber's expression. Not that it's normally cheery or anything, but the normal stoicism isn't there. There is a darkness in her eyes that gives away the level of her taint and the anger she suppresses regularly. Clearly, she's not doing too good of a job of keeping it contained.]

What is it?

[He's obliged to sigh long-sufferingly at that, because it's actually a sensible line of thinking and he doesn't want to admit it.]

Fine. But seriously, why a cake?

[Weird... her clothes almost look like they could still be one of the weird costumes they were stuck in all of last month. But everyone can take them off now, so that can't can't be it...]

Recipes would be nice. I'm not sure what kind of cake I should make, so I'd like to have options...

perma-voice

[doesnotgetit]

I mentioned it to someone else, but yeah, recipes would be nice. I think for now I'll just collect a few and figure out what I want to make after that.

[whiteblackknight]

[Drooool.]

....

[Minding his manners, he whips his face with his sleeve.]

Cake....

I concur.

[doesnotgetit]

[The look in Saber's eyes causes her to hesitate, but only momentarily.]

Um... after everything that happened in October... I think I realized I might need to learn how to fight on my own. I know I can rely on you and others, but... I'd like to learn something if I'm ever caught alone. Just a precaution, you know?

[The frown fades as she tries not to smile at the sigh. Whoops, looks like she frustrated him...]

A friend's birthday is next month. I know there might be some weird experiment that could get in the way of that, but I figured it might be nice to do something for her. It's not like there's anything else I can do.

[He just looks at her for a long moment. He knows he should just mock her some more and then blow her off. Since when has he been a chef? Well, aside from Rin conscripting him for that purpose lately--not for a very long time. But...

Even if it's been such a long time, he likes Hakuno, and he likes her intention of making a cake for a friend's birthday.]

Yeah, you can make a cake here. Well--

A certain princess-type has been making me cook for her anyway. If you lend a hand with that, I'll lend a hand with the cake.

Don't expect wonders.

[doesnotgetit]

[...]

... Uh... w-well I'm glad someone agrees with me...?

[doesnotgetit]

Really? Thanks! [The smile widens.] I'm not really looking to do anything incredibly fancy or too hard to make - I want the thought to count, so I can't do anything too difficult for my skill level.

[puppy_lancer]

Well, we've got a neverending supply of fresh meat. You just need to hunt for it.

[chainsawn]

[ There's a pause, during why Urotsuki just more or less blanky blinks.

But then, almost as if to (only half, really) answer the girl's question, there's cake on her head. Out of nowhere, yes. ]

[whiteblackknight]

[Smooth.]

Wo-woah, that was just...weird...

I like cake. [He smiles sheepishly.] A lot. And just food, really.

video

[doesnotgetit]

... Meat isn't really something you put in cake, though.

[doesnotgetit]

[Wh

Wh...at....]

... How did you do that?

Re: video

[puppy_lancer]

Oh, yeah. If it's cake, it's gonna be more difficult. I guess you can find most of the ingredients in the cafeteria, but the problem is the recipe. I think you'd be better off finding someone who has a cookbook.

[scorchedchivalry]

[Saber's eyes narrow at that first sentence. October. Everything that happened.]

You wish me to teach you?

Video

[doesnotgetit]

[She nods.]

Yeah. You don't have to, if you don't want to... but I'd like to at least learn the basics.

[eternallily]

It's definitely possible. My friend Kazumi would be more than happy to help you. She's a fantastic cook, and she loves it when she gets to help share something she loves so much.

video;

[swordedpast]

Well, I did say I'd help you...

But, you know, you are insufferably good-natured. I might have to do something about that, as well as your lack of kitchen skills.

[doesnotgetit]

Kazumi? You mean Saber's... "vassal", right? I've met her, so if you think she'd be willing to help, that would be great.
