Twelfth Song || Video/Action if you're in the Violet City Inn I suppose

[restardom]

[ 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. ]

[Naoto caught enough of that to realize what was happening.]

Rise-san, did the recipe call for your...additions?

((OOC: If you don't mind late tags? I just got back from my trip.))

[video]

[combat_butler]

Nope, not at all~ Even if it did call for tabasco, she went above and beyond what anyone should add...

(( Don't mind at all! ))

[video]

[restardom]

I didn't know there was a recipe!

[video]

[fortunatewings]

One can assume that most dishes would have a recipe, even if it hasn't been written down. We are well enough aware of our... shortcomings in the culinary arts to know we should follow the recipe.

[Naoto definitely mumbled the last bit, and now she looks at Hayate.]

I hope that the tabasco can be countered? It would be a shame to have to cook it all over again. On the other hand, it could be counted as practice...

[combat_butler]

--hm? Oh, it could be, yes... But even if I did that it would still be incredibly spicy-- just not dangerously so... Maybe I should just make this your main meal for dinner, Rise-san?

[restardom]

[ that's probably still going to be painful, but she will nod bravely! ]

[video]

[fortunatewings]

I believe ... bread and milk can counter the burn of spice once eaten, in that case.

[Naoto is trying to help!]

[video]

[combat_butler]

Mm. I will generously provide some bread and milk for her when the moment of truth comes around. ♥

[restardom]

... N-Naoto-kun, when are you getting here...?

[video]

[fortunatewings]

I will start out from Cherrygrove soon, if all goes well. I was dangerously short on funds so I took it on myself to work.

[video]

[combat_butler]

--eh? You actually took up work in Cherrygrove? That's rather admirable, mister.

[video]

[restardom]

--! [ pausing to whisper into his ear ] Actually, Naoto-kun's a girl.

[video]

[fortunatewings]

[Naoto straightens a little.]

I learned the value of potions and adequate foodstuffs very quickly on my journey to Cherrygrove. I decided the delay was worth having the funds to purchase enough supplies for the journey to the next town.

[combat_butler]

*looking from Naoto to Rise, then back again.* That's not a very good joke, Rise-san.

--ah! Wow, you seem to really have the hang of things... I bet you're going to do really well here.

[video]

[restardom]

I'm serious! Look-- [ and louder now ] Hey, Naoto-kun, remember when we did that health check-up and I found out that your measurements were--

[video]

[fortunatewings]

I am doing well in the town, yes, but I fear ... roughing it in the wild is not my forte.

[And Naoto blushes and stammers when she hears Rise start that sentence] R-Rise-san! Those are--are private!
