Almost nine months.

What do you want?
How do you obtain what it is you want?
How do you decide what the right way is to obtain it?

In the time you've spent here, how have you changed?

None of us are excluded from the above.
Enlighten me.

I've found that sometimes th'best way t'get somethin' you want is ta let all the pieces fall into place on their own.

And y'know what? Think I've made peace with the ocean.

[oblique_wisdom]

[Zelda's thoughtful for a moment.]

Is that so? What do you think of the idea that in order to make any sort of headway one should take the initiative instead of waiting for it to come?

[thenotmagician]

Well, that's alright, too. Can't just sit around and wait forever, eh? S'up t'you which y'think is the better option.

[oblique_wisdom]

But you are more the sort to let it come to you, you mean.

[thenotmagician]

Guess y'could say that. But I dunno.

Yeast makes th'bread rise on its own, but th'bread can't bake itself.

[oblique_wisdom]

A very interesting way to phrase it, Zeke. Do you often use food analogies?

[thenotmagician]

[Zeke is thinking back to the night where he made proposals to every damn person he met. Oh God]

Afraid so, Zelda.

[oblique_wisdom]

[Those were some very old days, Zeke.]

I wasn't implying it was a bad thing.

[thenotmagician]

[It totally haunts him in his sleep]

I know, I know. Didn't mean it as a bad thing.

Did you ever consider writing a book on your knowledge of the kitchen? They could put it in the ship's library. It'd be useful.

[thenotmagician]

[There is some silence. And then some laughter]

Zelda, there's no way I could ever get around t'writing a book. Just gonna be honest. But back where I'm from, they always had television shows where people cooked. Could always dig uppa video camera and do that with the kid.

Y'could even be an assistant, if y'wanted to.

[oblique_wisdom]

Television shows?

[That's a new word, given there are no television sets aboard. Although that isn't to say Zelda hasn't read about them.]

Do you trust me with such a task?

[She laughs.]

I wouldn't mind helping if you don't mind teaching me. I don't know my way around that sort of thing.

[thenotmagician]

'Course I do! Y'got the makings of a great chef, Zelda. It'd be great.

[oblique_wisdom]

It sounds like fun. If you decide you want to do this, let me know. I'll be happy to help, and I promise not to use any magic.

[thenotmagician]

Sounds like a good idea ta me, Zelda.

[Now if only he could find some video cameras]

[meinxxherz]

I-I'll run the camera but-b--but I'd rather not--not be in front of it, man.
