[axeofoath]

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.]

action!

[axeofoath]

[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!

action!

[stargathering]

[ 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. ]

action!

[axeofoath]

[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.]

action!

[stargathering]

[ Not at all. :'< ]

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

action!

[axeofoath]

[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?

action!

[stargathering]

[ 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.

action!

[axeofoath]

[Mushy peas could be another form of curse!]

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

action!

[stargathering]

[ Especially if when these two love their food so much. ]

Thanks, Gremio. We should still have eggs at the apartment...

action!

[axeofoath]

[Where would they be without it? :<]

Oh, how many? I was hoping to cook some for your breakfast in the morning.

action!

[stargathering]

[ They'd be lost! ;_; ]

[ Oh, Gremio, Tyr has missed you so much. ] We could always use more. Besides, we'll need some for the pie, too.

action!

[axeofoath]

[Yes! Stuck just cleaning. ;_;]

[Which is why Gremio wants to spoil him a little!] We certainly will. In that case, two dozen eggs should give us enough to work with.

action!

[stargathering]

[ Noo, not cleaning! ;__; ]

[ He smiiiles. ] That's right. Especially if you make Riou and Luc breakfast, too.

action!

[axeofoath]

[It's important, too! Just not as fun as cooking. :<]

[And Gremio blinks for a second. Oops, he was so focused on Tyr that he forgot about them...] O-oh, yes...Ah, p-perhaps three dozen would be a better idea, to be on the safe side!

action!

[stargathering]

[ Nope ;_; There's not as much to enjoy afterwards! ]

[ What's new about that? ] We can always come back for more eggs later if we need them. I'll give you the money you need.

action!

[axeofoath]

[Well, a clean house is nice...but they can't eat it! ;_;]

[Nothing at all~] I suppose we could, although...Young Master, did you earn all of this money yourself?

action!

[stargathering]

[ Which is plenty of reason to cook! ;~; ]

Yeah. I work with my friends in a couple of jobs. It's not so bad. [ He can almost hear you fretting. ]

action!

[axeofoath]

[For delicious nutrients!]

Y-Y-Young Master has a--has a couple jobs?! [Almost?] I...M-my apologies for having to rely on your earnings! B-but, Young Master...I-I'm so proud of you for supporting yourself all this time...

action!

[stargathering]

[ And some much-needed sugar if Tyr has a say! ]

[ For a split second... ] Don't worry about it. I'll support you, too. It's pretty boring to just lay around here anyway...

action!

[axeofoath]

[He gets lots of say! :3]

Y-Young Master... [It's so hard being fretty and touched at the same time!] I-I thank you--However, I too shall get a job to assist you!

action!

[stargathering]

[ Dang right he does. >:3 ]

I'm sure there's something... You could work with me. The guild would probably take you happily.

action!

[axeofoath]

[So there will be plenty of sugary goodness~ X)]

W-with you, Young Master? [His face lights up! Yes, he's very excited with that prospect.] I would be honoured! What type of work shall we be doing?

action!

[stargathering]

[ Yes~! For today, Tyr wants candied yams! ]

The guild does a variety of jobs, though I think the restaurant I work at might still need a chef...

action!

[axeofoath]

[Coming right up~!]

Y-you also work in a restaurant? Young Master Tyr, you must have been so busy all this time...I will assist you with whatever I can!

action!

[stargathering]

[ Yay! :D ]

Just part-time as a waiter... I've actua-- [ ...Maybe shouldn't mention he's been taking time off lately. ] I prefer taking guild missions, but it's not a steady sort of income...

action!

[axeofoath]

[He gets all the treats he wants! :3]

I see, you wanted to ensure a steady source of money...Y-Young Master, you're such a responsible, hard worker-! [He's practically brimming with pride and joy here!]
