Oh no.

Re: @ peony

[strateelgic]

[That sounds about right.]

If anyone in your flock needs them, the cafeteria has a kitchen available for use, refrigerators included.

Getting you the proper amenities can come with time.

Re: @ peony

[sparksystem]

Thank you for the information, Leviathan-san!

Our priority list has grown quite long recently and a kitchen keeps getting pushed lower and lower.

Re: @ peony

[strateelgic]

That's a completely foreign concept to me, as the kitchen was my top priority when I arrived.

Don't drop it too low. You have other mouths to feed aside from your brother's now.

Re: @ peony

[sparksystem]

Food has never been celebrated in my family. It's a really fun concept when I think about it! Do you have any favorite dishes we could try when we get our kitchen?

Re: @ peony

[strateelgic]

I do! Though a lot of mine involve raw meat in some form or another. It's all about how it's prepared, but I don't think that's something Aides would be into.

Re: @ peony

[sparksystem]

No, probably not. Do you know any cute food?

Re: @ peony

[strateelgic]

Cute food?

Like apple slices cut to look like rabbits and octopus sausages?

Re: @ peony

[sparksystem]

Yes! Like in television shows and anime.

Re: @ peony

[strateelgic]

You think he would be willing to eat something like that? If so, I might be able to put together some simple recipes that would be easy to make with the ingredients available to us.

Re: @ peony

[sparksystem]

I think so! I would appreciate that! Do you need anything in exchange?

Re: @ peony

[strateelgic]

Not for something so simple. Not for my little friends in Peony, no.

Re: @ peony

[sparksystem]

Then we'll accept! Thank you.

Re: @ peony

[strateelgic]

You're welcome. I'll try to get those to you soon.

Re: @ peony

[sparksystem]

It's been quite busy lately, so feel free to take your time.

Re: @ peony

[strateelgic]

But I often prefer to stay busy. If I sit around too much I'll get bored.

[And it keeps his mind off things.]

Re: @ peony

[sparksystem]

It's good to work out stress in productive ways but using it as escapism can cause negative long term effects.

[ shrouds are masters of escapism and larp you see ]

Re: @ peony

[strateelgic]

Are you going to lecture me?

Re: @ peony

[sparksystem]

Do I need to lecture you?

Re: @ peony

[strateelgic]

I think I would prefer if you didn't.

Re: @ peony

[sparksystem]

Then you shouldn't do things that will get you lectured!

Re: @ peony

[strateelgic]

That covers a very broad range of actions with judgement based purely on opinion.

Re: @ peony

[sparksystem]

Being a shepherd means even more responsibilities and power but also it means your self-care needs to rise. Doing things for fun or because they relax you are important! As is rest, eating-well and having emotional support.

Re: @ peony

[strateelgic]

Have you said all of this to your brother already?
