[ the scene is set inside the inn's kitchen, with Hayate preparing dinner for the inhabitants and Rise... helping.
OR SO YOU THINK. Kanzeon's once again commandeered Rise's PokéGear and has been recording this whole thing while sleepily observing it. At the moment, Hatate has just realized it might be a good idea to keep an eye on his helper. ]
Um, Rise-san... I was busy so I couldn't see, but... Just what did you put into that?
Hm? Oh, just a little something to spice it up! ... I think it was half this bottle... what is that, three cups?
[ ... by the way, the bottle is tabasco sauce. ]
Th... Three?! You should only add half of a cup of that at most! I-Is she trying to teach the guests how to use Ember...?!
[ at Hayate's horror, Rise offers up a guilty frown. ] ... I guess this is a bad time to say that this is the SECOND bottle, huh?
--eh?! I... I think I should go get an extra pitcher of water for the sake of taste buds everywhere...
I bet it's not that bad! [ she stops to dip a spoon into whatever they were brewing, holding it out to him with a sweet, hopeful smile. ] Here, just try a taste--
--grk! W-wait a minute, l-let me get the water first, I'll be right back--!!
[ Rise's smile doesn't falter, but when she speaks, it's in a tone that doesn't bode well for the poor butler. ] Try it, Hayate-kun.
... ... er.... y-yes ma'am.
[ insert this: ]
E-eh?! Hayate-kun?? Speak to me!!!
((ooc: Blue is Hayate, Orange is Rise, and tag order will be Your Character-Hayate-Rise.))
