Who: Alisha patrimony & you!
When: IC 5/1-5/5
Where: Residential and shopping district!
What: Just a catch all log for those interested.
Rating/Warning: None!

a) practice makes perfect!

[ For those who are wandering around the residential district, Alisha will be practicing swinging her lance in one of the more open, more abandoned areas. She'll try various ways - swinging her lance to the side, and then thrusting it in front of her with faint cries.

When she stops, she lets out a breath, as though having been tense while practicing her movements. She looks to her lance warily, and then to the ground. ]

I cannot allow myself to become rusty now...

b) the sheltered princess wants to... practice cooking?

[ After practicing her technique, Alisha makes her way to the shopping district. She nearly looks lost as she looks from store to store, hands tucked behind her back as she leans in to read different signs in the window. She frowns faintly, tilting her head slightly in confusion.

She straightens herself, sighing slightly. ]

I suppose I should have done my research before shopping for ingredients. Perhaps I can bake a decent desert for Sorey and the others for now instead.

[ She wanted to expand her cooking knowledge somehow, but... She has no idea where to start. She's always had someone to cook for her, even while she's been here. ]

c) (closed to rose)

[ They've made their way towards the darker areas of the city. It might be dangerous with just the two of them, yet Alisha knows that Sorey and the others need all the time they need to rest. She looks to Rose with a frown, concern evident in her features. ]

I appreciate your help, but are you certain? There may be monsters lurking within.

[ She knows that Rose is strong. She's Sorey's Squire, isn't she? Yet, she knows that strength is easily to exhaust all the same. ]

its all good

[sayonaradumbass]

What, like protecting your stuff? Or your girl?

[patrimony]

Something from another world? It may be a good idea to surprise others, but... I'm still fairly new at cooking, so I'm uncertain if I'll be able to make anything especially impressive.

[ Though, she does wonder if she'll be able to cook something that they'll like. ]

[patrimony]

My motivation for fighting lies within wanting to protect.

[sayonaradumbass]

Guess that's pretty admirable...Lemme guess, protecting your town or something.

[earthpulse]

Is that all?

[ Why...does Edna sound a bit disappointed at that.........sure, Edna. Although it brings to mind her culinary abilities, or her potential lack thereof. ]

...Have you even ever prepared a meal by yourself?

[ It's not meant to be a disdainful question at all, just genuine curiosity. ]

[imano]

Why don't you ask a bakery around here? They probably have a good idea what's quality stuff... but you'd have to ask just right or they think you're out for their secret recipes. You can really only get the ingredients here in this district though so... I don't get the fuss.

[ HImano shrugs. After all, it's always "love", right? That's supposed to make food taste better, always. He shrugs, but his face lights up with an idea. ]

I know a place that sells the best fruit though! My friend Sayo showed me it. Fruit can go well in desserts, I think.

[patrimony]

Kingdom would be a more fitting word.

[patrimony]

Not yet, but-- I plan to work hard and use Lord Mikleo's teachings to the best of my ability!

[ .......... who only taught her how to bake. ]

[patrimony]

I'd love to see it, in that case. My teacher told me that fruit can help to make the best desserts, so I believe that your friend is also correct.

[ She offers a soft smile towards the other. She really is thankful for all the help... She feels like she's going in a little blindly here. ]

[sayonaradumbass]

So you're a lady knight. Interesting.

[patrimony]

"Interesting"--Do you truly think so? Please, treat me as you would any other knight or fighter.

[earthpulse]

Didn't he only teach you baking?

[ She heaves a sigh, as if it's some great imposition to do what she says next, an idea forming in her mind. ]

...If you're that determined, then I, out of the purity and goodness of my heart, will offer to teach you how to cook properly.

[ She's never lead them astray with her meals before...this will be the first, unfortunately for Mikleo. ]

[sayonaradumbass]

Well yeah-- I mean no, if anything you're that much more badass and cool! Cause you hand those guys' asses to 'em.

[patrimony]

I-- "hand those guys' asses to 'em"?

[ what... this person is really crude... ]

[patrimony]

That's right, but he also told me that cooking in general was simply following recipes. I feel as though I'd be able to do that much.

[ She's determined to try... It can't be too difficult, right? Though, she stops when Edna speaks again, eyes wide in surprise. ]

--You would, Lady Edna?! I would be honored to learn from you!

[sayonaradumbass]

Yeah! You beat the shit outta them, no problem. Keep 'em in line.

[niceguypose]

[His intensity does dies down a little.]

I am sorry! Did I startle you?

Ah... I am not the best chef, but I have learned about preparing meals on the go! It is part of our life when we ninjas travel a lot!

[patrimony]

Is that what the knights do where you're from?

[patrimony]

A little. I suppose I was too consumed in thought for a moment.

Your level of skills never ceases to amaze me. Though, I suppose it would come in handy for one who travels a great deal.

[sayonaradumbass]

Hah! We don't have those where I'm from. We've got cops, and they're all lame.

[niceguypose]

[He's a little flustered by her commendation.]

A-ah, thank you, Alisha-san! I am not especially talented, but you are correct. Gai-Sensei helped us to learn how to prepare food while we traveled! So, it may not be much, but I would be glad to share what I know!

[imano]

[ That sweet smile of hers is pretty uplifting. Like a... princess? Hehe. ]

Okay then, follow me! It's not too far, just down the... I think you call it a block, and around the corner. Fruit stands remind me of home, I like that.

[ And off he goes. Imano may not always have the deepest wallet for actual shopping, but he sure does love moving out and about with it as the fun backdrop. ]

[earthpulse]

[ Following recipes...that's pretty much true, but what separates decent cooking from great cooking (in her opinion) is precise timing and knack for telling when something is ready or not. You can't pull off a 100 point drago stew without knowing your stuff. ]

I'm a very strict teacher, but well...you know what my cooking is like. No pain, no gain.

[ Amazing...when she actually puts in the effort, that is. Without further ado, she scans the surrounding area for ingredients. ]

Do you have any type of dish in mind?

[mysophobic]

[ Shigeru nods in understanding as he thinks for a moment. ]

Something simple is probably best. Simple doesn't mean it won't taste good either. There's lots of savory dishes that only use a few ingredients.

[patrimony]

That's something my friend has told me, too. I think that you're right. In this case, it may be the smartest choice, as well.
