[You know, food is food and the fact she is making it makes her a very important person in Sokka's life. His grin widens. ]

That smells great. It's been so long having to eat the awful stuff Atroma sends us. Normall,y I'd offer up some meat to go with it, but our supplies are pretty much out until I can get onto a planet with good hunting again.

[asphodels]

[ She doing her best! And she smiles brighter, nodding her head. ]

That's okay. I don't think it'll taste too bad. [ Though she does peer at it a little. ] Do you do all the hunting here?

[alwayscomeback]

I'm sure it'll be delicious, it sure smells it.

[Of course, Sokka will eat gunk on a cave wall, so his opinion probably isn't the best here. ]

Mostly, but I don't mind. I did it a lot back home, and it means we get fresh meat instead of the weird gunk Atroma give us.

[asphodels]

I hope you're right.

[ She's still not entirely sure about her cooking skills... ]

I'll do my best to make something good if you hunt again.

[alwayscomeback]

[If she can make something vaguely edible, she's quids-in. ]

I appreciate that! Hopefully, we'll come across a planet with game again. I've missed having real meat.

ANYway, who're you settling in? Need anything?

[asphodels]

I hope so too. [ She hums quietly. ] It would be nice, to have something different and new.

[ But, oh! Aerith smiles. ]

I am! It's lovely here, and every is very nice.

[alwayscomeback]

Welll, you'll get plenty of that in the Fleet. Different and new.

[He smiles at that, glad to hear it. ]

Great! I like to make sure my crew are about as happy as they can be- what with being kidnapped and all.

[asphodels]

It's not the first time I've been kidnapped. This is much better than before.

[ No one's died yet! ]

[alwayscomeback]

Oh? Were you taken to another world, or is this just a regular kind of kidnapping?

[asphodels]

Just the regular kind. [ Wow, someone who isn't shocked by it! ] Ever since I was a little girl.

[alwayscomeback]

Oh wow, that's...a really long time to be kidnapped for. Unless there were a lot of little kidnappings?

...Which, isn't actually any better is it, wow.

[asphodels]

Lots of little attempts! They were only successful one time.

[ And she holds up one finger as she says it. ]

[alwayscomeback]

Oh, well that's a lot better than I thought. I hope you got away that one successful time. And also kicked their butt- that part is super important.

[asphodels]

I might have kicked a little butt. [ And she beams. ] It's fine!

[alwayscomeback]

[A grin spreads across his face. Yes. This is excellent news.]

Great! Glad to hear it. I'll always advocate ladies sticking up for themselves and kicking butt.

[asphodels]

I don't know if I kicked butt... [ She sort of died in the end, but, alas. ] But they never kidnapped me again!

[alwayscomeback]

[WELP, that sure would put a dampener on things. ] Well, hey, that's good! They sure learned their lessons, then- so you had to of made some kind of impression on them.

[asphodels]

Yup! That's right! [ And, hey, look! Food! She puts some on a plate and offers it out. ] Here you go.

[alwayscomeback]

Thank you!

[And lo, she has fed him. She has his loyalty forever. He'll happily chow down, making pleased little noises, he's so happy. ]

This is really good!

[asphodels]

[ Success! And he seems like he's enjoying it, so she's pleased. ]

Thank you! I haven't been cooking for long.

[alwayscomeback]

Really? This tastes like you're a pro.

[He will ALWAYS butter up the person who is going to provide him with food. Always. ]

[asphodels]

Maybe it's the augment? [ She ponders. ] Or maybe I'm remembering what my mom did.

[alwayscomeback]

Orrrrr maybe you're a natural and you just never realised it until right now.

[Please feed him forever. ]

[asphodels]

Maybe! [ She pauses, thoughtful. ] I suppose I should test it more, hm...

[alwayscomeback]

Well, if you ever need a taste tester, I am so there. I'm calling dibs on that job right here and now.
