[Jenna is smiling but it is fairly clear that she feels a touch awkward using this thing's video function. It was nice that someone had explained it to her, but she still didn't get how it worked. As long as it got the job done, though...]

Hi, everyone! My name is Jenna. A lot of you probably don't know me, since I only arrived here earlier this month.

This is probably really bad timing with everything that's going on, but I wanted to ask for some help. I don't know how the months from my world carry over here, but based on the seasons, I think my friend's birthday is in a month or two, and I wanted to do something nice for her. I'm a terrible cook, though, [A twinge of annoyance is fairly clear to see on her face,] so I was wondering if it might be possible for someone to give me some quick cooking lessons so I can actually make something for her on her birthday.

I'm not asking you to do this for free! We can work something out if you want payment of some kind. I'm a warrior, so I can provide protection if you're a good cook but you're not one of the people with powers here. I'm also pretty good at hunting, so I can get you some actual food instead of that nutrition bar crap. And we used to make our own clothes where I came from, so I can sew too! That kind of thing. There's more I can do too, if none of that sounds good to you.

[She smiles brightly into the camera.] Thanks a lot in advance!

[Oh my. No matter how bad he's feeling, France will never deny himself the chance to help a pretty girl in need. He keeps video off so that he won't have to make himself look presentable just yet, but he manages to keep his message sounding friendly as ever.]

Pleased to make your acquaintance, Jenna. My name is Francis.

I would be happy to help you out if you still require assistance. ♥ Does your friend like French food?

[As with the response to Rick, there is a delay in the response to France's message. Her typing is atrocious and she can't figure out how to make the bigger letters. She also hasn't figured out that the comma button, while it looks like an apostrophe, is not an apostrophe.]

it,s nice to meet you francis and it,s nice of you to offer i don,t think either of us have ever had french food before what does it taste like

[That's certainly some... interesting grammar she's using there. Not that France can blame her, as his own typing skills were horrendous up until just a few short decades ago. He refrains from commenting on it.]

Why, French food is made up of so many interesting and unique flavors that I cannot possibly list them all at once! If you've truly never indulged in such a pleasure, I can assure you that you will not be disappointed.

I'll let you taste some, and then I'll show you how to make it yourself. How does that sound?

that sounds like a great idea i can,t wait to try it is it hard to learn to make though because i have a tendency to burn things

[Oh boy. He desperately hopes he's not dealing with someone who has the cooking skills of England.]

We will start with some simple dishes, don't worry. Or perhaps ones that don't need to be heated up.

[It's not so much that she has English cooking skills as it is that she is very passionate about barbecue.]

that sounds like a really good idea when do you want to do this and where should i meet you

We should wait until we have proper ingredients next month. I'm a Culinary Assistant here, so I'm always in the kitchen during meal times.

Feel free to ask for Francis the next time you're in the cafeteria. I'll come see you right away. ♥

ok i,ll do that i,m looking forward to meeting you francis

thank you for your help

Of course, dear! It's no trouble at all.

I'll see you then.
