[With the two of them settled at the table, she folds her hands under her chin and leans her elbows on the table top as she watches Flynn again.]

And be totally honest, okay? I think it's probably the best thing I've made. The chefs here didn't want to try it, but I think that's just because robots don't need to eat.

You have my word.

[flynn pops the first bite into his mouth...

and smiles warmly as he chews and then swallows. everything about the reaction is completely genuine. is the food horrible by normal standards? probably, but to someone with taste buds like his, it tastes completely fine. since he has no reason to suspect anything amiss with the food, flynn stays true to his word and gives his honest opinion.]

It's delicious.

Really? [She sounds extremely excited by the news (and are those flowers suddenly appearing over her head? Nah.), hands coming up under her chin as she beams in his direction.] I'm so glad you think so! I thought maybe I let the vegetables sit too long and added a little too much cumin but that's so great!

If you want, I have some extra I can send with you too.

[let those flowers keep right on appearing because the compliments are gonna keep coming.]

Not at all. I think the taste is just right. You did a great job preparing the food.

[that warm, cute smile remains firmly in place as he takes a second bite. mmm so tasty! ...it could've used a bit more cumin, truthfully, but flynn acknowledges that as being his taste and not most people. ah, speaking of most people, someone else will surely enjoy giving this a taste!]

Please do. I'm certain Yuri'd love to try some, as well.

[RIP Yuri...

Flynn has jumped quite far in the friendship scale and she's already thinking of bringing some home for her housemates as well.]

I knew I could count on you. I'll box some up for you guys to send home. It won't be enough for your dinner though but it'll be a good appetizer! [She puts a finger to her chin, thinking for a moment.] I think I have a couple of suggestions for a real meal though. You said sweet, right? How sweet is too sweet?

[poor yuri, died so young... but at least the friendship rank jump will make his death worth it.]

I'm honesty not sure such a thing exists for Yuri.

[the guy's sweet tooth is far too intense. flynn pauses briefly, giving some thought about what too sweet would be.]

But maybe something not too overpoweringly sweet. I'd rather the main dish not taste like a dessert.

[If she looks amused, it's because she is. So that's the way to get to Yuri, huh? Good to know.]

Good point. I think I have the perfect soy sauce to send with you, too. Soy's a little sweeter than some other sauces anyway. [She's busy reaching for her CereVice, already sending her fingers flying to type out a list of ingredients and a recipe for mapo tofu and a homemade sauce.] This recipe shouldn't be that hard to follow, and we have the tofu and soy and some other sauces here.

[use yuri's weakness well, rise, but please just not enough to give him cavities.]

Something with soy does sound appetizing.

[not too sweet, very flavorful and all the ingredients here, too? you are the best, rise.]

Thank you for your help.

Of course! It's part of my job to help people and recommend only the best of the best. [And she's up again, already gathering ingredients for him. Even if Yuri gets cavities the robot dentists will probably take care of him. Probably.] Yu-senpai doesn't let us cook very often since he likes to do it, but there's so many types of recipes to try. You'll have to tell me how you guys like it! Promise?

[they'll give him new teeth with little lasers installed... actually yes, that's cool so please do give him cavities.

flynn follows suit and stands up. rise's truly the best, giving the recipe AND gathering everything up. he'll repay her one day with a meal of his own, a non-lethal meal. ...hopefully.]

Yuri always insisted on cooking when we were younger so I understand how you feel. [which flynn now realizes was probably because it was either he cook or risk food poisoning...] And you have my word.

It's still pretty hard to imagine Yuri cooking between you and me. [Please don't accidentally poison her, Flynn, that might be bad for everybody. Nevertheless with the food packed up and everything she's tucking all tofu and sauces into a little paper bag for him.]

Don't let it sit out too long, okay?

He always denies it, but his cooking abilities are nothing short of impressive.

[flynn'd liken them to a professional chef's at this point. so creative, so knowledgeable and so tasty. mmm maybe he'd request hamburgers next time yuri cooks. tonight, however, is tofu night.]

That shouldn't be a problem. I plan on putting it to use immediately.

Then definitely let me know soon. [She's about to say something else when one of the other employees at the shop calls her name from the back of the store and she turns her head to look. Oh! Right. There sure are other people here.]

Ah! I should get back to work. But I'll catch up with you later?

[oh whoops, he didn't mean to keep her from work so long! but she has successfully given him a great idea for dinner and some tasty samples to take home. you're the best, rise!]

Definitely. Thank you again for your help and for the sample.
