"I suppose you could help cook.....are you any good at cleaning too?" She broached the question gently.
He did the little tap salute to his forehead.
"My room's a mess, never had time. Mum always told me that if we set our heads to it, we can do anything so... we'll see what I can do about cleaning. Cooking's a-okay with me."
"I used to cook when mum and dad were working late, so I've gotten good at it...cleaning still isn't my forte." She said with a slight grimace causing him to laugh lightheartedly.
She poked her tongue out at him, leading him into what appeared to be the kitchen. A pot hanging on a hook above a pile of embers, which she added some slivers of wood to.
"I would like a little help if that's fine with you Haruo...would be nice for a change of pace." She said easily before looking in a small wicker basket that had ingredients in it. "So...what do you think we can make with this stuff?" She asked as she moved to the side so he could see in too.
"Always around to help people, me." Haruo joked about his position, then peered over at the basket. "Well... we probably won't do much with those..." He brought up his menu and prodded several items, all appearing and accumulating on his palm, then winked at Kaoru. "What if we added these?"
Dropping the items into the basket, it was filled with many different things, ranging from red garlic-like things to white spring onions and several outrageous looking vegetables and slabs of meat. This was a game after all...
"Nobody ever says no to the big prize." Haruo added before slapping down a large piece of rather aromatic meat, the <Zernes Meat>, claimed to be the game's greatest food item drop from the crystal-like deer creatures and said to taste heavenly. "Don't ask me where I got the <Zernes Meat>. All I can say is that those critters are really annoying, hard to catch and even harder to get drops from."
Slapping his hands together and rubbing them with delight, he smiled at Kaoru, "Now then... shall I get to cleaning and you to cooking? Or do I need to work double time with as many limbs as I can manage?"
