I didn't exactly mean right now.

[She sticks her tongue out.]

I feel like I ought to do something in return to thank you, though...

[foolishjustice]

...I do want to learn how to cook.

[buddinghopes]

[She noticeably perks up when she hears that, then grins a little.]

That'll be no problem! And... [She scratches her cheek awkwardly, glancing away.] Well, you really could use a few lessons in the very basics. No offense.

[foolishjustice]

None taken. I...never even learned the basics, to begin with.

[buddinghopes]

Never had the chance or...?

[She's mostly just curious.]

[foolishjustice]

...Nobody ever had both the time and interest when I was growing up, and I've spent the past few years living on my own.

[buddinghopes]

... Oh.

[Oof... that wasn't... something she meant to wander into.]

Well, now you've got someone with the time and interest to teach you. Even if it is thanks to a deal.

[foolishjustice]

I'll do my best to be a good student.

[buddinghopes]

I'm sure you'll do great.

[She has no idea what she's getting into.]
