A-ah...I didn't finish all of the laundry...The kitchen needs to be swept, too...

[It's the hushed voice of a young man, sounding both longing and peaceful. Gremio, sitting against the side of a building near the fountain, doesn't register the change in scenery quite immediately. But several seconds later...]

E-eh? C-could this be-?

[He's not sure what he expected to see upon dying, but this...probably wasn't it.]

Maybe next month, then. One apple pie is enough for now...

[Both relieved and disappointed, between not having to clean up the potential mess and the idea that Tyr baking pies is simply too cute. Oh well, there will plenty of time for that!]

Very well, Young Master. Then we'll make this one together.

[ It doesn't help he still looks like the same cute little kid, huh? But helping Gremio bake is the closest they're going to get. ]

That's right. It's not hard, is it?

[Exactly. But he's quite happy with that, too!]

Not at all! Once you learn the basics, it's really very simple.

[ And that's what matters. :> ]

Good.

Let's see... [ Looking for more ingredients. ]

[Yes~! X)]

Do you remember, Young Master? We'll need flour, butter, and sugar for the pie--and spices, too. Oh, and we can't forget meat and herbs for the stew!

Ah, right. [ No, he didn't remember. ] ...We still have plenty of other food back home, too, you know. But let's get spices now. I don't think we have many. [ Leading! ]

Oh, yes, you must have some staples...Fresh herbs and spices will give us the best flavour, in any case. You deserve only the best I can make!

You always make the best, Gremio. [ Stop exaggerating, gosh. ] So what ones should we get?

[Aw, Young Master~!] I'm very honoured you think so--all the more reason I can't slack off! [Thinks for a second. Even still, he can't go spending all of Tyr's money.] Let us start with cinnamon and rosemary for now.

[ Tyr nods. ] All right.

[ Then he thinks about it. ] Is that just for tonight? What happened to gathering supplies in case we're snowed in?

O-oh--Yes, there is that too, isn't there? [Whoops, he got distracted!] All right, we'll look for dried meats and pickled vegetables. Those should keep well.

[ uugh, pickled vegetables. ] Isn't there something other than pickled vegetables we can get?

[Don't be so picky, Tyr!] But Young Master, we won't have to worry about them getting spoiled.

[ But but ] But the taste is... Will we eat them?

[But nothing! :<] Of course we will. It would be a waste otherwise!

[ ~~Moooom~~ Gremioooo ] ... All right, if you say so... As long as I don't work with them...

[He has to eat his veggies, pickled or not!] Come on, it's better than starving, isn't it?

It is, but... [ They're bitter. ]

... Let's not get too many just in case we're not snowed in...

Better safe than sorry, Young Master. [Meaning they should stock up! Since Gremio probably doesn't know about canned food in the City.]

[ And despite thinking microwaves and refrigerators are the coolest things ever, canned food is weird. ]

You're right... I trust your cooking.

[Very weird. Who knows what strange magic they've used on that stuff?]

Perfect! Then let's pick up enough for a month's supply!

[ And their colour is so weird sometimes... D: ]

All right, all right... You know, they probably have the materials to pickle ourselves... [ If Gremio knows how. ]

[They're not very appetizing. :<]

It seems a little late in the season, Young Master, but possibly... [He must! It's an essential homemaking skill.]

[ Not at all. :'< ]

Well, there are still fresh potatoes, so...
