I don't suppose anyone is home today to help make lunch?

[Nephry leaves the journal open for the sake of checking on it between cooking steps. Enjoy the sounds of a small but active kitchen for a while. ...Things are a little quiet when she comes back.]

Excuse me. I've had a small accident in the kitchen - could I speak with a healer?

[[ooc: I am posting all of this from my phone while the computer gets repaired, so I will be slow.]]

[Yep. But pity the advisers more than Jade.]

You're right. A hook will probably scare the rappigs.

It might hurt them. You wouldn't want that.

[gets him a bowl to mix the fruit in]

Definitely not. [He dumps the fruits into it.] So, is there an occasion? Are you cooking for anyone special?

It's for you and Saphir and me, for lunch. And for Anise and the Fon Master, if they return home to have some.

[~~Can't we let Saphir starve>?~~] It's good to have a full house again.

[~~He would ask the same about you and get the same No.~~]

I...suppose.

[He notices the hesitation.]

I personally prefer the chaos to the stifling quiet of waiting for someone to be returned from a kidnapping.

I would prefer us all to be safe at home.

[...Well. Except perhaps for Ion.]

Having the Fon Master here is a little...disorienting, I must admit.

...I'm still not sure what I think about those who are here when they...shouldn't be.

I think, for lack of a better answer, we should just be grateful for the extra time we've been granted to spend with them.

But it's time that wasn't... ['meant to happen' goes in there. Not in the sense of the Score...but it could easily be construed that way]

[Blasted Score. It's caused enough trouble in his life.] There's nothing we can do but accept it.

...I think...

[no. No, we decided we are not telling him about that. Absolutely not]

I mean, of course.

[What? Tell him what?:|]

Nephry...

Yes, Your Majesty?

Do you have something to tell me?

...Yes. You need to cut the rinds off of the oranges.

[:| Cutting the rinds off now.] You're becoming good at evading the topic, you know.

[an unguarded and innocent smile]

I'm a politician.

One of the more unpleasant parts of the job, really.

I've found it's quite useful almost everywhere else. It's only in the world of diplomacy, where people expect it, that it complicates things.

[Sigh. She's beginning to talk like his advisers.] I prefer the straightforward method myself.

Yes, I've noticed that.

[You're good, Nephry, but not that good.] I believe you have something to say to me?
