Action: On SS First Breath or planetside
When: now

[ a video pops up. Nova is looking mmmmore rested than she has in previous videos, but thoughtful and slightly distant ]

I have a weird question... have you ever met someone in one of these places who's supposed to be dead? Or... I guess, are you? How do you know?

[ she's also available to be found just outside of town on the dusty moon, or back on her ship later ]

[He nods, then looks up at her and the bowl, a small smile fixed back into place.]

How's the mixing going?

[takeabow]

Is this good enough?

[ shows him. she can mix things! she can sense the awkwardness of the situation, though ]

[truthvalue]

That's perfect.

[Better to focus on the task at hand than let his mind drift into the past.]

Next, we'll need to press all this into patties, then let them sit in the refrigerator for about an hour, then fry them. I have some others in the fridge already that I made earlier, so we can work on those first.

[takeabow]

Okay. Sounds good. I can fry things, at least.

[truthvalue]

Good.

[Souji quickly washes his hands and starts pressing handfuls of the mixture into flattened ovals, which he places on the empty baking sheet.]

The important thing to remember about frying croquettes is to get the oil hot enough, so they don't fall apart.

[takeabow]

Okay, I can manage that.

Are we making these for everyone?

[truthvalue]

That depends - how hungry are you?

[He glances up at her with a teasing smile.]

[takeabow]

I'm always hungry.

[truthvalue]

[He laughs, so quiet it's barely audible.]

I can always make more later for them.

[takeabow]

You're too kind.

[truthvalue]

It's no trouble.
