[afineknight]

Mm. Let me know how that goes when you do?

[ohlord]

'Course.

Gotta remember to drop off that mutton for ya later. Just gotta butcher 'em.

[afineknight]

You can just bring the dead sheep if you want. Biscuit and Muffin would be happy to take care of the rest.

[ohlord]

Oh, good. 'Cause I don't got much experience with butcherin' animals for food.

[afineknight]

Tart hunts for us, and they are usually the ones who take care of it. I myself haven't done it in years and I'm more used to fish, but I could if need be.

[ohlord]

Yeaaah. Mentioned I'm from a desert planet, yeah? Don't really got any fish or livestock or wild animals to work with. Sandworms and thomases, sure, but sandworms get fuckin' huge and might eat ya. Thomases are also transportation.

[shrugs a bit.]

[afineknight]

Ahh. That makes sense, yes. Do not worry, my friend! We can handle it.

[ohlord]

You're like the first person to say "that makes sense" about "desert planet" bullshit.

[afineknight]

I live with beastmen. I have learned to accept things and not ask stupid questions.

[ohlord]

I keep havin' to remind people I don't know a lotta shit 'cause of that.

Like... the hell's a paella?

[afineknight]

[ He laughs softly. ]

It is a Spanish dish that is primarily rice, but mixed with other things — vegetables, meat, sometimes even seafood depending. And, of course, spices.

[ohlord]

Pasta's survived. Rice... plant-generated if it's around.

[rice needs lots of water and therefore not an abundant crop on desert planet]

[afineknight]

You could probably make something similar, then. Not exactly, but . . . similar.

[ohlord]

Meat's easier to get...

Either way, dunno the recipe. So kinda a moot point.

[afineknight]

Good thing I do. Does Lily have a kitchen of some kind? I can teach you.

[ohlord]

Not... yet.

We don't tend to do well in those rituals, so we gotta go about gettin' stuff from herd mentality and the like.

[afineknight]

Ah, yes. That seems more reliable anyway, given how these rituals are.

[ohlord]

There's the communal kitchen in the cafeteria in town.

[afineknight]

Great! We can use that. And if anyone else from Lily wants to tag along, they are more than welcome.

[ohlord]

Think Lethe wanted to show me some recipes... 'cept he's from some place called Korea or somethin'. Not Spanish.

[afineknight]

Ah, Korea. They have some good cuisine.

[ohlord]

Dunno anythin' about it. He showed me an illusion of it once, though.

[afineknight]

I had some once or twice in my university days. It's been awhile.

[ohlord]

University, huh. Guess ya actually did get yer degree for bein' a doctor?

[listen, it's just that he's used to shady doctors and shit]

[afineknight]

I am a legitimate doctor!

[ biologist. details. ]

In fact, I was younger than most when I started university.
