I am happy to provide, especially in that case. Only be careful if you are sensitive to spice.

[Gods know he's had to tailor his cooking for a bunch of Faerghuns for ages. Not that he's gone and made it outrageous or anything -- he's still learning what's available in this world -- but it tastes like more than salted cardboard.

Budew decides it is safer to waddle back over to Dedue, and settles in his lap as he passes a plate to their visitors.]

[smashthem]

How much spice are we talking about? [She grins.] I think I can take it.

[She's used to making whatever she can out of whatever she can find. Nothing fresh, nothing green, mostly out of cans. Not since... well. Not for a very long time, anyway. Her smile falters for a moment, maybe two, lost in what used to be, before she brightens up again. Remembers where she is.]

I cooked for my friends, sometimes. But nothing like this!

[dedueordie]

If you think so, I'm sure you can.

[It's difficult, of course, to have fresh meat in the middle of the route, so the fish is indeed canned, but the cooking method and spices bring a new life to it.

He watches the emotions play across her face, not intending to be rude, but simply observant. Afterward, he shakes his head gently.]

It is a skill that takes time and practice, like any other. I am sure your friends appreciated it regardless of your skill at the time.

[smashthem]

I like to think so. If you put your heart into it, then there's nothing to fear.

[And she always does. She has trouble speaking, sometimes, about what matters. But food can speak louder when words fail her. It means 'take care' and 'please stay' and... oh, any number of things. As many things as there are memories in her heart.]

But I'm sure the spices don't hurt, either.

[dedueordie]

Agreed.

[Cooking, for him, also has its roots in showing and sharing love. It may be the only way he outwardly shows it nowadays, but it is certainly its own language.]

No, but they are ultimately a matter of taste. They can elevate or ruin a dish, depending on who is dining.
