[ my immediate thought: is he trying to poison her without realizing she's a roomba

she, on the other hand, doesn't really care, but- ]

Were you not able to find anyone else to assist you...?

[ has he scared everyone else away with spice ]

[givethemhell]

[WHY WOULD HE POISON ANYONE RIGHT AFTER TRIAL that'd be hilarious though.

But no, he's gone and made soup for everyone YET AGAIN, but he also knows not everyone enjoys being openly fussed over or mother henned. He's taken to bullying people into "taste testing" for him, instead... What a shit.]

It's a sad thing, really! You tell people you've burnt a hole through a wok one time...

[A theatrical sigh... Inside the container is a pretty hearty soup, that said! Like the one he'd been working on last week, it has plenty of fresh vegetables from the garden, but a more robust broth with sesame oil and garlic. He'd replaced the pork with beef this time, too. On a whole, it's a pretty good bowl of soup, even if there's a definitely telltale kick to it because he can't control his hands around peppers.]

[ the spice levels of wwx's cooking should be counted as a deadly poison to anyone with a regular sense of taste

which doesn't apply to anyone present so nvm ]

In their defense, burning a hole through a wok is fairly impressive, just... not necessarily in a good way.

But sure, sure, I'll help you.

[ it's playful, but still more- muted, maybe, than usual. the same sedateness from trial, and he didn't see her last night so who cares about how she was on friday ]

[givethemhell]

[Half the people in this camp don't count as beings with a regular sense of taste, honestly. In any definition.]

It happens to the best of us!

[Burning a hole through a wok???? But he grins at that, and makes no mention of the sedateness. Sometimes...... a lot happens. And everyone just wants to take a long nap.]

Let me know what you think, alright? I've been getting mixed opinions about what's best for soup flavors, hah.

[recrypt]

[ yeah they really don't ]

Then I guess you must be among the very best, huh? All right, let's just go settle down by the bonfire or something while I play guinea pig for your concoction...

[ gib bowl ]

[givethemhell]

[Her punkass teasing just gets him to laugh... ANYWAY GIBS BOWL. He'll follow after her to the bonfire, plopping down with his feet way close to the flame. As always.]

No need to be shy with your critique! Not that I get the feeling you would be, haha.

[HAHA.]

[recrypt]

Hmmm~? Aww, do you not trust that I can be gentle when needed?

[ anyway, time to monch on the soup. as it turns out, living in post-apocalypticesque wastelandia means that sometimes, you get accustomed to pretty bland foods, and even though you've had better for the last several weeks, the kick still takes you a bit by surprise.

that said, it's not killer. it's just a nice surprise. ]

... hmmmm. I think I need to reevaluate. Are you sure you're not just fishing for compliments?

[givethemhell]

[He just grins a little goblin grin at that, propping his chin up in his palm.]

Me? I would never! [HE, AN INNOCENT WEI WUXIAN...] But what do you think? Do you think now's a time where you need to be gentle?

[recrypt]

[ ah, goblins. ]

Now I definitely know you're fishing for compliments. The soup's fine. But you didn't need me to tell you that, did you?

[givethemhell]

[He just chuckles, then. CAUGHT REDHANDED IN THE GIMME COMPLIMENTS JAR.]

Never hurts to have different sources reaffirm it! Everyone has different tastes, after all.

[recrypt]

I think we certainly learned who can and can't stomach spice, this week...

[ so many people complaining, and she can't relate, because she doesn't strictly need to eat... ]

[givethemhell]

[That moment when you get to cheat with your robot stomach...]

Mm, I'm actually impressed! More people could tolerate a decent level of spice than I expected.

[recrypt]

[ rip to squishy humans but she's different ]

Do you usually find it otherwise?

[givethemhell]

[Can he join the honorary robot stomach squad with his hearty stomach??]

I do get a lot of comments about the amount of spice I tend to put in my own food, at least...

[recrypt]

[ does he really want to be an honorary gun ]

I suppose that's one way to ensure that your food doesn't get stolen...

[givethemhell]

[no]

But it's terrible when you just want to share!

[recrypt]

[ yeah ]

Well ... then you wouldn't be cooking for your own tastes anyway?
