Hey everyone! So, now I've seen we have animals....you remember how I was talking about making ice cream before? Well, it might take a bit longer to make enough if everyone wants some, but. Come over and we can make our best effort!

[Because of course this is Sora's priority here. Finding out there were animals and having asked the Gods regarding...well, a freezer to keep it cold, of course. He's trying at least, to make plenty of it for everyone, especially with having heard that some people have never had any ice cream before. Of course the initial flavor will be sea salt, which might not be to everyone's tastes but he can also figure some others that are more traditional as well.

He now only has Naminé from home with him, but he is still trying to do what he can. Possibly in part because he knows this is something Roxas and Xion would have liked, and as something to keep him from getting too down about missing them and Ventus. Keeping busy helps. Between wanting to do this, figuring his training in wanting to learn about his new powers here, and continuing his attempts to not get too rusty with his Keyblade, he keeps busy enough. He is probably making a right mess of the kitchen doing this but that is half of the fun aside from the taste testing, right? Of course it is.]

It's... unique. That's what's so nice about it, [ she agrees, voice quieted after the mention of the others.

Which is funny, really, because even though she knows intellectually that there are other, less odd flavors of ice cream, she hardly has room to pass judgement on them when she's never even tasted them. But that's not what has her shoulders rising, melancholy eyes lingering on the in-progress foodstuff. ]


… I think it's important, too.

[ To try to make sea salt ice cream, even though they're the only two left. Naminé is not quite so likely to falter under the pressure of being alone - for she has been already, hasn't she, for so long? But it still weighs on her, how their group has thinned, how she can no longer see those familiar faces. Just for a second, her eyes squeeze shut - and then she opens them again, head raising. ]

So... what can I help with?

[ Better, she thinks, that they keep busy indeed. For both their sakes. ]

That's probably a good choice, [ she agrees, in spite of how blasphemous it could potentially be to say such a thing were one of the others around. No, it's a practical call, really. Naminé steps a bit closer, hands stretching out before her slightly to rest fingertips carefully on the table. ] That way no one has to be disappointed.

[ Ideally, anyway. Anyone who wanted a common flavor would be happy, at the least. To his suggestion; ]

Sure. [ It's easy enough to acquiesce to that; she would likely have taken just about any option, really. Her lips part slightly at the caveat, however, head tilting. ]

Were you not able to find any?

Oh, [ she breathes, shoulders relaxing slightly in small but obvious relief. That would have been unfortunate, not having one of the things that should have been easier to get, compared to the animal products. In any case, with thoughtfully pursing lips, ]

Then, may I see it?

[ The recipe, that is. ]

I don't-- really know how to cook very well, but if I only have to follow the directions...

[ She can work it out, right? Right. ]

Thank you, [ she responds softly, stretching out a hand to take the recipe. Though she's curious, she remembers herself well enough to return his smile before letting her eyes fall to the object he's given her. Her attention is taken up with it quite quickly, though she does nod at his offer of potential help.

Which. She might need, really, because before long she's giving the recipe a perplexed look. Carefully, she looks over what's arrayed before her, then collects the vanilla beans to move them over onto a cutting board. Thereafter she starts to reach for a knife, pauses, then think to glance up at him to ask, ]


You aren't using that one, are you?
lethechained: (uh....)

[ With another soft word of thanks, she reaches to pick up the knife in a careful grip. When he checks on her, he might find that she's set to work trying to prepare the vanilla beans for use in the ice cream.

Although it's. Not an easy task for someone as inexperienced as she is. She's chosen the smallest knife possible, which makes it a bit easier, but she seems to be struggling to actually wedge it into the bean properly. The first time the bean slips, the second time she's not quite pressing hard enough with the knife.

She'll... get it eventually? She seems to be very concentrated on the task, at least. ]
lethechained: (wh...what?)

[personal profile] lethechained 2019-10-13 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Um--

[ The bean rolls a little again as she looks up, then looks back down again sharply, fingers pulling back instinctively so as not to risk cutting herself, though there wasn't much danger of that this time. ]

Yes, I think so...! It's just-- harder than I expected, that's all.

[ Which goes for the task, really, but-- ]

The bean, that is.
lethechained: (calm)

[personal profile] lethechained 2019-10-19 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
-- Right.

[ Her lips press together thoughtfully, expression a little more determined. Delicately she presses her fingers around the bean again, returning her attention to it as though it requires genuine focus for her to figure out how to cut the darn thing. This time she adjusts the angle of the knife a bit, and-- ]

-- Oh.

[ Well, that works better - enough so, at least, for her to finally wedge the point in there. Now she just has to... cut along the rest of it. ]
lethechained: (Okay over here)

[ action ]

[personal profile] lethechained 2019-10-25 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
Okay...!

[ Naminé is... quite unused to encouragement of any kind, much less such immediate gratification. But his cheerleading brings a careful smile to her face all the same as she glances up at him, then back down at the bean. Slowly she makes the cut in question, which-- ends up a bit wobbly, really, but she makes it to the other end of the bean eventually, and that's Progress. ]

That's right, isn't it?

[ Surely he'd have mentioned it if she were cutting the bean the wrong direction, or something. ]
lethechained: (Heh.)

[ action ]

[personal profile] lethechained 2019-10-26 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
That makes sense. Otherwise it wouldn't taste like much of a flavor at all, I guess.

[ Just generic ice cream, whatever that tastes like. A bit more confident now, she starts to work on the next bean. ]

[personal profile] lethechained 2019-10-27 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Like a blank canvas. Or-- a sketchbook?

[ Her eyes switch between him and the beans as she starts on the next one. It's easier this time, now that she has some idea of how much force to use. She's a pretty quick study in general, all things considered. ]
lethechained: (Oh :O ?)

[ action ]

[personal profile] lethechained 2019-10-29 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
Hm...

[ She hums quietly as she works, as if she's considering something. ]

… Those are lots of brown things, aren't they?

[ Honeycomb not entirely included. It's a silly thing to notice, maybe, but-- ]

What about fruit? Would that be okay to add to vanilla?

[ She may wear a lot of white, but she has a distinct appreciation for more vibrant colors. ]

[ Naminé pauses in her cutting the beans, knife poised in one for a moment as she considers. ]

I hadn't thought that far ahead yet, [ she confesses. ] Actually, most of those things sound pretty good.

[ She turns her eyes down just for a second, then they come back up as she realizes, ]

-- Oh. What about oranges?
