[There's a clatter and the video starts with an odd vantage point of hands cooking something in a wok. It's rather obvious that their owner isn't used to the task. A soft voice hums absently in the background, then stops with pleased surprise.] ...Hey! Great, you're early! Welcome home.

[Aya walks into the kitchen and stares

It looks like you are the one who should be challenged to learn to cook…

[Just watching the black smoke roll by the Network Device’s screen… ]

It can be difficult to know what is meant to be seen and what is not… and of course once witnessed it is not like I could just forget it.

Besides, it was a fire. I couldn’t just ignore something like that.

[He was worried about you -.-’ ]

[soulofocean]

Right. Stuff like this?? It goes pretty high up my rank of Unforgettable, no kidding!

Aya took care of the flames.

[She's too pissed at the Network at large to notice. 8|]

[eagleofautozam]

At least it has been taken care of.

What were you attempting to make?

[In a very soft voice:]

...Just something someone taught me how to make...

Video

[eagleofautozam]

I see.
It can’t be helped then if was something as simple as being distracted for a moment.

[ Wondering how Umi manages to bake so well if she doesn’t have the attention span for ‘normal’ cooking.

He does of course wonder who that ’someone’ was but… if she wanted to say she would have and she wouldn’t have been whispering. ]

...Ken just said it better than I could: that's all it takes. I may give it another try without multitasking. Sometime later. If they let me.
