[ alex wanders into the pub eventually. she likes cooking, sure, but sometimes it's nice to ... just have food made for you? and if she doesn't question where the food is coming from too much, this is a pretty nice place to hang out.
...
especially when there's company ]
Oh, hello. Are you having lunch?

[ xie lian is absolutely not the type to take free food for granted, so. he's been in here often the past two days, trying different dishes! today, he's settled at a table with a glass of water and three or four plates in front of him, scanning through his phs. ]
Hello, Miss Alex - I am! [ he's got a smile as he's greeted, with a polite bow of his head. ] Would you like to join me? I think my eyes were a bit bigger than my stomach.

[ oh
wow yeah that's a lot of food you've got there xie lian. alex stares at the dishes for a moment, before nodding. ]
If you don't mind. What did you order?

If you don't mind. What did you order?
...Well... a lot. I'm not really sure. I think these were called "fish sticks", and some kind of stew, and there's a grilled fish that's kind of spicy - it reminds me a little of home...
[ he's pointing to each one as he goes! ] I think it's quite the blessing to be able to eat things like this whenever we please this week, so... I guess I got a little excited. Please, come sit!

[ she's looking over all the dishes with a thoughtful gaze... but they look good. she pulls out a seat opposite him and settles down. ]
It's nice to not have to cook as well. [ and it's not astronaut food. wow. ] I don't mind cooking, but it's nice to have a meal made for you.

I think I'm pretty good at it, yes.
[ oh
dear. ] I made waffles in our first week? There's so many ingredients in the inn kitchen, it's a shame not to use them.

[ oh xie lian. ]
It's a batter? You cook it in a press that give it a specific shape, and then you can dust it with icing sugar, add fruit on top or pour sauce on it. I can make them again at some point, if you wanted to try them. They're not hard to make.

[ just like. i-fuckin'-mmediately: ]
Done.
Any help with the dishes is good enough for me.

You can put whatever you want on them as a topping as well! Although people tend to stick to either sweet, or savoury and not mix the two too much.
[ waffles!! ]
[ waffles!! ]
What a wonderful sounding food.
[ xie lian nods, as if trying to keep all of that to memory! and then, looks down at his full table of dishes, smile a little soft. ]
It has been quite a blessing, to be able to try so many new and exciting foods, here. Even amidst all this chaos, there are small things to be thankful for.

I take it you enjoy your meals then.
[ she can... see from the array on the table. which she's actually going to take a better look at and maybe also a bite of? yum. ]
I'm trying not to think about where it's coming from, but it's probably another... nova and the Realm oddity?

I do. [ xie lian says with a little smile, and that's about all there is on that one. alex will get the feeling there's lore there somewhere, but, alas.
he's cutting himself a piece of fish to munch on (with a knife and a fork, even, the wonders never cease) when alex asks that question, and xie lian makes a thoughtful noise. ] Perhaps so... I think for now I won't question it. I've already gotten to try so many new things, just from being here, so for that, I am thankful.
It must mean that this - [ with a small gesture around them at the pub ] - is a normal life, for someone, don't you think? That perhaps we could even visit places in the Realm that might look like home to us.

[ how to unlock the lore. with persistence! ]
True.
[ she takes an actual plate now and transfers some of that spicy fish dish onto it, so she can properly start eating. ] We could be here without any food at all. We'd be in a lot more trouble then.
[ blessings. ]
We could... I wonder if that would make me feel a little homesick? More than I already want to go home, I mean.

[ describing ergastulum is going to be my destruction. ]
... It's... [ wow ] An interesting place. There's a lot happening there, but not necessarily great things if I'm honest.

Somewhere inbetween? [ it's like 2011 there it's fine ] Not as futuristic as before, but more modern than this.
Yeah. I ... well, know maybe isn't the word, but most of what's in the inn looks familiar to me. I can use an oven and other appliances.
[ nod nod nod nod ]
I see! It really is quite convenient, to be able to keep your food cold, and cook things so quickly... I look very much forward to the modern age with such fascinating technology! Though, I think it's probably quite far away for me...
