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.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[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...

[They'll ignore the canned stuff...]

Ah, you're right. They do have an unusually large selection for this time of year. Then we'll look for beets and onions...How about pickled eggs, Young Master?

[ Yes. The City is so questionable... ]

They usually do... But the food isn't strange besides that.

But pickled eggs... I'll try them if you make them.

[Mushy peas could be another form of curse!]

All right, then pickled eggs shall be prepared personally for you, Young Master!
