the sun cooked him like a crab in okinawa. his flesh was not meant to withstand great forces.

[picky]

Yeah, it really did.
I want to say Laios isn't weak, but he did get taken out by a stomachache after eating a small parasite when he shouldn't have...

[gimu]

he what

[picky]

He ate a parasite
He didn't wait until it was cooked first
There was a smaller parasite inside... It ate at his stomach for a while

[gimu]

wh
why
how is he still alive???

[picky]

I had to keep healing him overnight until the parasite finally died

[gimu]

!
if i had not come to shade him, he would have burnt to a crisp!

[ this big pale man!!! how are they not extinct!? ]

[picky]

You're definitely right about that
Thanks for taking care of him, by the way

hER FACE

[gimu]

as an outsider his well-being is now my obligation to maintain. i will continue to do my best.

but he seems good at cooking, so it isn’t all terrible.

[picky]

You don't have to take care of him just because we're on the same team!

[gimu]

shouldn’t i? his culinary knowledge is expansive. it is my duty to defend everyone unfortunate enough to get the LILITH treatment.

[picky]

I do think we should help each other out, but I'm not sure if I'd call it a duty...
You're learning how to cook from him?

[gimu]

not yet but he offered to grill eels for me. when it happens, i intend on watching how he does it.

[picky]

Sounds fair
I didn't know you wanted to learn how to cook!

[gimu]

i do, i think.

i want to make delicious things for our companions to enjoy. is this strange?

[picky]

[ A twisty, warm feeling rises in her chest. She smiles without thinking. ]

No, it isn't
It's very good of you!
Can I try some? I've been baking recently, so maybe we can trade.

[gimu]

[ he brightens some, an uplifting of strange spirits. ]

when we get back i will make something for you, then.
that something will be tofu.
i only know tofu for now.

1/2

[picky]

I like tofu!
I know how to cook too, if you ever want help. Laios and I learned a lot from someone who traveled with us through the dungeon.

[picky]

Even if we were eating monsters back then too...

[gimu]

[ cooking. with marcille? what a delightful idea. it warms up some strange doo-dad in his chest, sets it whirling like a tiny dynamo to spread the warmth through his body like a rush of electricity. ]

how did the monsters taste? were they easy to cook? harder than regular food?

[picky]

[ Choso is so cute... If only this wasn't about cooking monsters. ]

How easy or hard it was to cook would depend on the monster, you know? There's a big variety of them.
Senshi spent ten years learning how to cook monsters, so
Almost everything he made was really delicious...

[gimu]

[ delicious… delicious…! to be called delicious by marcille even if it’s a monster, it must have truly been toothsome! ]

if you could name your favourite monster dish, what would it be?

[picky]

You and Laios really are alike.
Senshi once made a potage from dryad fruit and mandrakes when I was out of mana
It was really sweet and had a floral taste.
I still think about it sometimes
