Fried rice. Please let me know if you'd like some. I made plenty!

I'm quite happy for you! It's always a mixed feeling to have someone from home here...but if you are looking out for Miss Hilda, then I am sure she has nothing to worry about. I'll have to meet her. What team is she on?

[likewinning]

That does sound delicious! I will have to take you up on that.

Yatagarasu. So she is with me. I have already taught her about Echidna quests, so I am sure she will seek you out herself in due time. She is verrrry spirited.

[rootsforyou]

I will bring some to you shortly. Are you at the dorms? Or elsewhere?

That is even better than I expected! If you're on the same team then you can look out for her while she gains her bearings.

[likewinning]

I am over in Yatagarasu! I am just taking my time getting up today, apparently.

It is verrrry nice to know that she is close by. And I can keep an eye on her during tasks.

[rootsforyou]

Please don't think that way. I have a habit of getting up early. This time of day could be considered normal to get out of bed for some people! I'll be over soon.

[it's important to note for the record that she would text this regardless of what time it actually is]

If she is as spirited as you say, she might need someone like you keeping an eye on her for tasks...not that it's a problem if people make a fuss, but it's troublesome if it impacts your chances of winning, right?

[likewinning]

Yes. It can be troublesome. And I like winning more than anything else. So I have to keep an eye on her.

[rootsforyou]

Well, hopefully she is as competitive as you, so you can steer her into helping you win!

[likewinning]

Exactly!

Incidentally, I would like to request another quest. I want to start keeping some of those healing cards on hand in case of emergency.

[rootsforyou]

Oh? That's an excellent idea. I have just the task for you.

[knock knock knock shes at the door]

[likewinning]

[ He's right there, so he opens it!

His phone is in his other hand, yes. ]

Hi Jiang Yanli! Welcome to Yatagarasu.

[rootsforyou]

Thank you for the warm welcome! I think this is my first time being here, actually. I don't stop by other people's dorms too often.

[she brought a tupperware of fried rice like a good friend. holds it up to show him!]

I can give you your task and food at the same time. Please do something helpful for one person in exchange for the token.

[likewinning]

Come on in, then! Our dorm is verrrry nice.

[ He steps back so she can come in. Their kitchen is probably immediately noticeable since it's an offshoot of their common room. ]

I can do something helpful. Do you want anything? — that is not the helpful thing. I am only trying to be a good host.

[rootsforyou]

It is allowed to be the helpful thing if you are looking to get a token quick. Hmm, do you have tea, by chance?

[likewinning]

Well, if it is allowed, then! Allow me to make some tea for you. I believe we do have some.

[ He walks over to the cabinets, digging through until he manages to produce some pouches. ]

Is— [ squints. ] "Earl Grey" alright with you?

[rootsforyou]

Oh, yes, I quite like that one. It's surprisingly fragrant for a black tea.

[likewinning]

Interesting. I am not familiar with many types of tea myself. I usually drink coffee. Or hot cocoa!

[ But, same concept. He fills the kettle up and puts it on the stove to heat up. ]

But we try to keep our kitchen stocked decently enough.

[rootsforyou]

I like coffee as well, but it's too bitter on its own for me.

[she is looking around the kitchen out of curiosity and nodding in approval; a well stocked kitchen is a happy kitchen]

What is hot cocoa?

[likewinning]

Oh! It's also known as hot chocolate. It's a warm, sweet drink. Sometimes, people even put marshallows in it!

[ He gets a couple mugs out of the pantry. They're not tea cups, but Yatagarasu has to improvise. ]

It is verrrry good at lifting people's spirits.

[rootsforyou]

Ah, then it is similar to the milkshakes, but hot instead of cold. It sounds perfect to drink on a rainy day. Though I worry about drinking that much sugar too often...

[likewinning]

I used to drink it all the time as a child. I do not have much of a sweet tooth these days. But it is still soothing at times.

[rootsforyou]

Isn't that common with things you enjoyed as a child? But that does make it a universal feeling. If lots of people had hot cocoa as children, then they'll still get that comforting feeling even once they're adults. Hmm, maybe I should be asking everyone what they ate and drank as children. We could turn the diner into a restaurant full of comfort food.

[likewinning]

Oh! That could be verrrry interesting! If you need any help with that project, I would be willing.

[rootsforyou]

Well, if you'd like a second token, then that could be another thing you could be helpful with. Feel free to ask people what foods they ate as a child or what foods are comforting to them.

[likewinning]

I will ask around regardless of whether or not it gets me a token.

[ surely this will go super well after dangerbear.

The kettle whistles, and Emmet moves to take it off the stove, pouring water into both mugs before placing in the tea bags. ]

[rootsforyou]

[comfort foods might help, who knows]

That's very kind of you. Ah, do you know if your brother has any favorites, by chance?
