His death was expected. I can't help but wonder if the environment quickened or slowed his death in any way; certainly the extraction method was different, but the deterioration afterward...

He will return. He was doubtful of it, but I'm sure he will return. How they stabilize his body without the Rune is another matter.



[voice]

Rune... Hn.

...I like how I find out my owl had owlets three weeks after the fact.

... I beg your pardon?

[chikaidestroyer]

One of your ... yes, hobbies would probably be the best way to describe it ... is to try your hand at cooking. You get exceedingly creative with the recipes.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

You say that like it's a bad thing.

[chikaidestroyer]

Lemons, Professor.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

You don't like them, I take it?

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

I'm beginning to think they are your favorite fruit.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

Perhaps there's a reason for that.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[There's that ... look. Well, it looks like that mindset is still intact.] Perhaps cooking would spur some memories, too. Though I don't think Genis will take well to you messing up the kitchen.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

If it helps, I'm sure he would understand. [She's quiet for a moment, then tilts her head slightly at him.]

... Is there anything that you would prefer? If we're... going ahead with that thought.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Tea. [Let's start with something with minimum opportunities for error.] That should be fairly simple.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

All right. Tea... hmm. So that's just hot water and... leaves for flavoring, correct? [And opportunity for lemons... hm.]

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Oh, if he could hear those thoughts, Raine... 8|] That's right. The leaves should be clearly marked in the spice cabinet. [Another small favor was that Genis was so tidy with his organization of ingredients.]

[action]

[wise_maiden]

[It's off to the kitchen, then! She turns to head in that direction, moving to first wash her hands before studying the spice cabinet for sign of the marked leaves. Aha. She reaches in and takes them down, though not before letting her eyes study the cabinet's contents.

... Ooh, what's in here...]
