[He hands it over and steps out of the way.]

We don't have these back home.

[aono]

That's fine, not everything grows everywhere. It's fun to learn about new foods anyway.

[He's not going to do anything too fancy, just wash it, cut it in half, de-seed one of the halves, and then cut that half into strips. Then he offers a strip of pepper out for Nero to take.]

You can eat 'em raw like this, or chop 'em up to add to recipes to give some flavor.

[perfectdistance]

[He'll give it a try... Not bad!]

This would work well in somethin' like an omelet.

[aono]

Yeah, that's one way to cook 'em! And they're pretty good in stuff like stir fry. They come in other colors too, like green and yellow and orange.

[perfectdistance]

Huh. Do the colors affect the taste? That happens with lemons and gallon melons.

[aono]

Some people say they do, but I never noticed a difference.

[He's going to start chopping the pepper into small bits. Might as well make some eggs and peppers.]

[perfectdistance]

[He watches him go at it.]

[aono]

[He is creating food art. No really, look at the shit he can make. It's practically food porn.

...well. Less so here, he has fewer ingredients. But it smells good at least?]

[perfectdistance]

[A long whistle!]

Look at ya go. Lookin' good.

[aono]

It's nothing, really. I don't mind cooking.

[The big grin on his face says that he likes the praise though. And soon enough, Rin is pushing a plate of eggs and peppers towards Nero.]

[perfectdistance]

[Haha, he fights the urge to ruffle the kid's hair.]

Thanks.

'm a chef, there's just a lot of ingredients here I don't recognize.

[aono]

It's alright! I cook a lot, so I can tell you all about this stuff. Then you can work your chef magic.

[perfectdistance]

Thanks.

So you're a chef too? Good to know there's more than one.

[aono]

[he's grinning sheepishly.]

I'm not sure I'd call myself a chef yet, but that's a nice thought for the future.

[perfectdistance]

This's delicious, no matter what ya wanna call yourself.

[aono]

Haha, well thanks. I get the feeling I'll have to get creative while we're here, there's so many different ingredients I'm not used to here.

[perfectdistance]

It's a chance to stretch your creativity. Could be fun.
