"C'mon Genis, you don't think I'm that stupid, do you?" "You have to boil dried pasta in order to soften it," the boy remarked, and I facepalmed. I resisted the urge to yell out "BAM!" when he threw the noodles in. I'd been getting sick of all the plain stew, but it looked like Genis was gonna kick it up a notch tonight. Now he pulled out some pasta, and I grinned. Normally I would've cringed-the idea of any sort of seaweed in my food made me nauseous-but I trusted that he'd make it taste delicious either way. The mage pulled out some kelp and placed it in the pot of boiling water, with the air of a master at work. Not many kids his age got to do that every day. Not only that, Genis seemed a tiny bit smug he was twelve, and ordering an eighteen-year-old around. "Yes sir, I'll try." I replied, amused at how little faith he placed in my abilities. "Okay, you can help, and I'll tell you how to make it. "Meat stew." He replied, shifting the pot over the fire a little. "Uh, no-I mean, that's pretty much the only thing I can cook, so.so I think I need to learn more! What are you making?" I changed the subject, leaning forward to peer at the ingredients he'd placed in front of him. "Aren't you supposed to be the omelette master?" Genis's surprise wore off, and he gave me a skeptical look. "You should teach me how to cook something." I grinned, remembering what I was going to say. "What?" Genis asked, derailing my random train of thought. It looked like he was boiling water in a pot.wait, where the hell had that come from? Which one of us was carrying a cooking pot around all day? The twelve-year-old briefly looked up at me, before turning back to the ingredients he was setting out. "Hey, Genis." I called to him as I walked up, sitting down near the fire he was cooking with. I hadn't really talked to him much since that day back in Asgard, after all. We didn't even have to make him this time ever since Raine had come down with that cold, he'd taken over all cooking duties to ensure her fast recovery. Oh, it looked like Genis was cooking dinner again. I stood up from my seat on the grass, wandering elsewhere and wondering what to do. Okay, maybe it'd be best to leave her alone before she started thinking I was weird. "You really don't want to know," I replied, shaking my head. The ninja gave me an odd look when she saw me stifle a laugh. I was tempted to ask her about them, but then I remembered they were Mizuho secrets, and if she told me she'd have to marry me. Sheena was sitting on the stone steps to the large structure, reorganizing the different cards and seals she carried with her. Raine still insisted upon drooling all over the Tower, despite her sickness. Kratos went off somewhere to be all mysterious (reporting to a certain Cruxis angel, perhaps?), and Lloyd was out on a walk with Colette. Now that we'd settled in, everyone went about their own activities as usual. The blue sky darkened in hue as the sun began to sink below the horizon.
