I don't know. I've eaten apples and I've liked their crunchy sweetness. But all the prepared food in the castle doesn't "taste" right. [ At least, she assumes a biscuit shouldn't taste sour. ] Most fairies would see a picture of the finished meal and recreate it with a miracle, but they don't know or care about "the contents" or the process of making it. They skip that.

[arturiarex]

...I see. Perhaps they should experience proper cooking and that might persuade them of its usefulness?

[bwrw]

Oohh. I see. Maybe if they ate good food, this land's fairies would be better behaved?! [ From henceforth, she shall be now as Aesc the Chef. ] Um, never mind that! But I still think it's worth a shot if I could learn to cook for my parents.

[ ooc; Castoria after her rant about how much she hates everyone. ]

[arturiarex]

I encourage you to try. Food is an excellent way of expressing how much you care for someone.

[ ooc: ow, oof, my heart. ]

[bwrw]

They don't have a favorite, so I can start simple too. [ Juuuuuuust in case. She's crossing her fingers that she won't burn down the castle. That would be very hard to accomplish in the land of the rain. ]

[ ooc: whoopsie, forgot the previous ss. Also her last stand. ]

[arturiarex]

Unfortunately I don't have much advice to give in this case, but I will wish you luck.

Unfortunately I don't have much advice to give in this case, but I will wish you luck.

[<ooc: guhhh even in an alternate timeline she's so willing to give it all up for the sake of others. </Small>]

[bwrw]

That's all right! You helped me a lot already. Maybe someday, I could ask your assistance to sample some of my cooking.

[ooc: Castoria's an interesting case, because she starts the story refusing the Call and hiding away from it. She's also jaded and cynical and definitely has unheroic reactions. A lot is her mentor's influence: Oberon is her Merlin. That makes her actions more devastating. She is aware she isn't a larger-than-life heroine as Artoria or Aesc (there's even a section where she sees Artoria's life and literally can't understand her at all), and even admits she could never best Morgan, but that's ok. She'll step up and complete the task. It hurts a lot. ]

argh my html

[arturiarex]

I would be honored. And very pleased.

[ ooc: oooof. Poor girl. She sounds quite tragic. ]

it's ok! i got it

[bwrw]

Do you have any favorites? I could learn those first. If King Arthur likes it, maybe my parents will too.

[ ooc: yeah. but everyone in lb6 is tragic including the comic relief characters who get an awful send-off. there's like a competition for horrible and traumatic backgrounds, unfair fates, or doomed love stories. ]

[arturiarex]

I'm not sure if I can indicate a favorite... Any kind of good food seems to suit me perfectly well.

[ ooc: wehhhh. ]

[bwrw]

Then, what about the ones you dislike? [ Those exist, right? Right?! ]

[ ooc: the ost also slaps. ]

[arturiarex]

Well, I suppose I dislike cheap junk food... but you shouldn't be cooking that for family in any case.

[ ooc: doooope ]

[bwrw]

Oh. Got it!

[ Strike down "junk food" from her list.

...
........
............. ]

Mmm... Mm... What is "junk food"?

[arturiarex]

...food that might taste good tends to be too filling or has too much sweetness to it or might otherwise be unhealthy in large quantities. Like sweets, for example.

[bwrw]

So that's what it is! [ She feels guilty of imagining people eating literal garbage. ] Ehh? Sweets are bad?

[ ooc: Castoria's leitmotif track. ]

[arturiarex]

In excess, yes. They don't provide all of the necessary nutrients one needs.

[bwrw]

Umm, um, but do you need nutrients, Your Majesty? Fairies don't, and I can't imagine you requiring them in your diet.

[arturiarex]

I am still human, if only partially. Although these days perhaps I don't need them quite as much...

[bwrw]

I was thinking about baking cookies as my first attempt. It was a suggested recipe for beginners. But if it doesn't suit your palate, I can try something less sweet.

[arturiarex]

I certainly wouldn't turn them down.

[ Ahem. ]

I just can't eat them all the time.

[bwrw]

Then I'll be honored to bake them!

[ Lemon or orange flavor. Choices, choices. ]

You don't have to eat them all on the same day, right?

[arturiarex]

One doesn't have to, no. Although some might be tempted to do so regardless...

[bwrw]

I see... Maybe I could cast a spell to punish those who fall into temptation and break their healthy eating habits.

[arturiarex]

I don't feel that's necessary. [ Ahem. ]

Sometimes people need to learn for themselves.

[bwrw]

Oh. Like self-restraint training. Maybe I shouldn't use a curse, but... [ See those gears turn. ] How about a cookie guardian? I can make a familiar!
