Welcome Back, Adventurers!

[thecanopycrew]

The wagons rolled in, the ship anchored, and the wayward journey has ended back at the tree.

After putting the sword where it now belongs inside the life Stream, it's time for a little award, isn't it?



Appearing outside the tree after the sword has been inserted is normal-sized slice of chocolate cake, enough to feed everyone in tree and more!

Come relax, talk about your adventures and catch up. Enjoy your victory!

Suit yourself.

[He's not really here to chose how others go about things. Maybe it's because of the number of people who 'went' missing? He's not been keeping great track of that as it is.]

[knight_king]

[She nods. She'll do that.]

I hope you will enjoy it. There may not be many chances to eat something as sweet.

[finallyfallen]

No, there's not.

Judar is probably around here somewhere.

[No way would he pass this up.]

[knight_king]

He enjoys food?

[She asks, not knowing well his companion besides his obvious chaotic and bratty nature.]

[finallyfallen]

What little he likes, yes.

['A bit fussy' is an understatement.]

It just has to be something he likes.

[knight_king]

It is good he is not a glutton.

[She is a bit fussy with food too, thanks to Shirou spoiling her. Before she has been able to eat all those awful meals Gawain cooked for her without a objections.]

Meals must be well-prepared to optimize the flavor.

[finallyfallen]

[If only that were only way he were fussy. They lived in a palace, the food was always highest quality. The kitchen staff must have gotten so frustrated with Judar.]

Oh, he could be, if he found something he likes enough.

[But his actual fussiness really isn't the point.]

[knight_king]

[She just wanted her nephew to be happy and he seemed happy making her food that was completely unpalatable.]

That would not make him a glutton, unless he devours voraciously immoderate amounts of food without making any distinction of their quality.

[She might be a little defensive about her own eating habits. She's a gourmet, not a glutton.]

[finallyfallen]

No, no, he's just fussy. Nothing spicy, nothing with too strong a smell, no vegetables, etc.

He can eat quite a bit when he's got a mind too.

[It just has to fall into the category of 'will eat' instead of 'won't eat.']

[knight_king]

Hm. I understand now. There is nothing wrong with any of that. Spicy food and vegetables are good as long as they are well prepared.

[She'll only refuse to eat what contains tentacles. She nods.]

And you? What kind of food do you enjoy the best?

[finallyfallen]

I'm not so fussy, though I do prefer to make my own.

[He'll eat someone else's but he can make his own and he's good at it. So why make someone else do the cooking?]

[knight_king]

What is your favorite recipe?

[It is good he likes a little of everything. She envies he can cook a little, she used to divide the housechores with Kay. Kay did the cooking.]

[finallyfallen]

[Something he could teach...if they had the supplies and ingredients to do so. Interestingly his favorite food is also his least favorite and as non specific as 'his sister's cooking'.]

It's more who's cooking then any given recipe, not that it's something I have the option of anymore, when I let other people cook.

[That's what happens when you ditch your family, but he's already agreed to sacrifices...if it could actually be called such.]

[knight_king]

[She listens to his wording and she can make an educated guess.]

Dishes made by a specific person, then?

[She thinks about Shirou and Rin. The food they prepare is good but also there is warmth behind their cooking. She preferred it over the meals she ate during their date.]

I see. Perhaps one day you will have that option back.

[finallyfallen]

Maybe.

[It's not something he's hopefully on.]

[knight_king]

Do not look so glum.

[She shakes her head.]

We will return. I promise you this.

[finallyfallen]

Of course.

[That's only half the problem, of course, but he's not going to mention that.]

[knight_king]

Find your friend in the meantime.

[Even if Judar isn't a pleasant sort of person in her opinion, Ren esteems him, therefore he must find joy in spending time with him.]

Food tastes better when shared in good company.

[finallyfallen]

Yeah.

[Who knows the mischief he's getting up too...nothing too bad or he'd have heard it by now.]

Hopefully yours isn't too far off.

[knight_king]

[The tree is so changed in those weeks, the animals she has hoped to use as cattle are long gone too. This has thrown a wrench to her plans.]

I do not think he is.

[Shirou's not part of the missing people.]

[finallyfallen]

[Bugs won't last in the cold either, maybe something else will make the tree home?]

Then shouldn't you go ask whatever it is you wanted to ask?

[knight_king]

[She has planned to make use of the rabbits meat and fur. The news of their departure because of the difference in the time fluctuation annoy her greatly.]

Were you listening...?

[To what she uttered before he interrupted her.]

[finallyfallen]

[The proper answer here is 'no'. He knows that.]

You were muttering to yourself. Is there any more to it then that?

[Well, ok, he's not great at this social things, but it's an attempt at giving options.]

[knight_king]

[She looks flustered someone listened to her. She should have stayed quiet. She shouldn't blame him for accidentally catching up whatever she said.]

No. It was my mistake.

[finallyfallen]

....

[If she says so he's not going to pry into it. Secrets are secrets.]

Then there is no problem.
