It took a while for Aster to finally separate himself from the research notes he'd make on this odd world they called Paradise, but separate himself from them he did as he ran down the stairs and towards the kitchen.

There was a quiet 'hmmm' from Aster as he approached -- what could they make for her? Granted, he'd cooked well enough for the both of them quite a few times, but he never really got much of an answer about the cooking itself other than that 'it was good'. Not much to work off of, but hopefully he could fix that now that Estelle was here.

Entering the kitchen, he smiled. "Hey, Estelle!" He waved, running up next to her and nodding. "Did you think of anything?"

Estelle looked up from her thought as she heard Aster's voice, and she smiled at him a little, sheepishly.

"Not much, but I did get an idea of what we have to work with," she said with a sigh.

"There's some chicken in the freezer, we could probably defrost that in no time at all under running water ... there are potatoes, green beans, carrots ... a whole assortment of vegetables ..."

"A lot of vegetables, huh...?" Aster peered into the fridge, glancing at the ingredients and nodding a little before he looked back at Estelle.

"I guess we could make some kind of chicken stew, then." he responded after a while. "Or anything else involving chicken and vegetables -- there's a lot of flexibility with those two ingredients."

"Chicken, mashed potatoes, and some steamed vegetables, maybe?" Estelle suggested, wandering over to the fridge and taking one more glance around the entirety of it.

"It's certainly healthy, that's for certain ... nothing special, but we do only have so much to work with."
