[video] His people would have at least nine historically known words for the stuff, after all

[warriorscribe]

*Yes, this was totally worth bringing his dinner up to the library to share. Enoch is seated in the terminal chair, a plate of glazed chicken in his lap and a glass of rosewater wine in his hand. While his words and manner are formal, there's a real, if exhausted, gratitude in his voice.*

I must give gratitude where it's due. *Enoch raises the glass.* It's much appreciated. Thank you, Riki.

((backdated to the dinner hours of the first, of course.))

It doesn't? I'll have to keep it in mind...

[starofpleiades]

Yeah! Though, with how many people are here, it's not like we can stock it with enough things to last an entire nutrition bar month... but at least we can stock a lot of the staples and less perishables like flour and sugar and the like. So there should be a lot of good things this month, like seasonings and the like - you'd be surprised how much a little spice can improve just plain ol' meats and veggies.

[warriorscribe]

Yes...seasoning can make quite the difference. Knowing Ruana's tendency to fixate on something in particular, we may well need some help from Riki's menu.

*Really, Ruana's menu was the least of their worries; her food was actually quite palatable, if monotonous, but best to focus on the lightest of it for now. Best to focus on something that can be laughed at.*

[starofpleiades]

Yeah! Um, so if you ever think of it, and happen to be going that way, bring up anything you like the from the cafteria? You never know when it'll come in handy. Plus after the weather last month, we kind of lost almost everything we'd stored there before.

[warriorscribe]

I might well bring things every day I eat. The food here is good.

[starofpleiades]

Yeah, this month it is! Eheh, I think this is the nicest it's been since I got here. And pretty too!

[It's not like she can complain about things like Valentine's day compared to nutrition bars, but wow, all pink all the time got kind of old by the end of the month]

[warriorscribe]

I haven't seen anything quite so flavorful here, myself.

*But really...he's just glad for the wine. It's incredibly hard for him to even get a little tipsy at this point, but it's a comfort at least.*

[starofpleiades]

It'd be nice if it was always like this... I guess we should enjoy it while we can.

[warriorscribe]

*Enoch nods in response - yes, best to enjoy it while it lasts. However, he hasn't forgotten that the girl he's speaking with is one of the tower's Puella Magi.*

And how have you been? You sound as if you've been able to avoid falling too deep into despair...

[starofpleiades]

Ahaha, mostly... um, it kind of got reset anyway after I, uh... died last month. [Kind of happened a few times while brainwashed]

[warriorscribe]

*There's a sympathetic grimace at that.* It was a difficult month...

[starofpleiades]

Y, yeah...

[warriorscribe]

I'm sorry...for everything you went through.

[starofpleiades]

Eheh... don't worry about me. I hope nothing too horrible happened to you?

[warriorscribe]

I survived...

*Which is all he can say - and more than he could hope for considering he forgot his job in all of that and nearly got himself killed by that...*

[starofpleiades]

I'm glad to hear it... I hope they don't do something like that ever again. It was... really creepy, not being able to control myself....

[warriorscribe]

*It wasn't likely it would be the last of it. Jason and Ruana both seemed to like that sort of thing...*

...I don't think Riki's inclined to do so. We should enjoy it while we can.

[starofpleiades]

Mm, I'm glad. We can enjoy our food with a little less worry!
