Home is where the tart is [Open]
Despite not requiring much in the way of food, Zouichi did know how to cook. But with friends and acquaintances from wildly different backgrounds, he figured he could stand to expand his repertoire. So today he was trying out desserts. The inside of one of the Sensoriums had been transformed into a brightly-lit kitchen, its counters covered with baking pans, bowls, fruit, flour, and a multitude of other ingredients.
Zouichi, wearing a dark blue apron, was just taking a batch of chilled dough out of the refrigerator, rolling it carefully out between waxed paper sheets. It was looking pretty good, or so he thought. Nothing had even exploded yet!
From somewhere within the kitchen, the smell of cake wafted up into the air. Caaake.

Zouichi made an open gesture. "Be my guest. You can imagine any supplies you want that aren't here, but I'm sure you knew that already."

It was true that working a task like this required quite a bit of accuracy and control... but he'd argue that humans had accomplished quite a bit to circumnavigate their own shortcomings. Put enough of them on the problem, and he had no doubt they'd fashion the right tools to do the job.
Still, it was fascinating to watch.

He thought back to what Ildraniath had said before, about the Eldar taking different paths throughout their lives, and wondered if Alendian had ever been a chef.

"Humans would consider this more of a cookie." And yes, she picked up on that off thought. "No, I never became a chef. Try not to seem surprised, I can read it on your face. I have spent a century or two living essentially on my own. You learn things like that."
no subject
"It just seems a little out of character for you to be making cookies," he said. "So? How long does it take to bake?"
no subject
"Does it? If you know so much about the Paths the Eldar take, have you heard of the Path of the Outcast?"
no subject
"I'm afraid not. Sounds a little depressing." Outcast, Aspect Warrior... Zouichi was starting to see a pattern here. "Care to elaborate?"

Odd that she'd refer to the Exodites as 'cousins'. Weren't they Eldar, too?

Zouichi observes with some interest as Alendian sets the pastry to cool. What, no comment about inferior mon-keigh oven mitts?

"So, do Rangers and Aspect Warriors always follow the orders of a Farseer?"

Also, he tended to be very curious. Just ask Ildraniath.
"Of course. But you seem to defer to her judgment even outside of military concerns."
