[The video starts with Cyrus just trying to get herself in the frame so she can be seen, but it eventually settles. There’s a proud smile on her face as her fox ears perk up and her tail can be seen swishing happily behind her.

Okay, proud moment over as she starts speaking.]

Hey, so I have a major request to ask. Can someone teach me how to cook some easy but decent meals? I mean, I learned about frozen dinners and they’re great, but they also deplete my Chroma buying them just as fast as, well, being like this. [She motions to her fox ears, allowing them to twitch a bit.]

Right now, I can make a decent salad! Everything else just tastes bland. I follow the recipes, but it just doesn’t turn out any better than ‘I guess it’s edible’. Anyway, I’d super appreciate someone helping me. I can repay with moonlacing, I guess, since right now my Chroma balance is fluctuating being like this.

Thanks!

My experience lies only with coffee. It does, at least, provide energy.

[bubbleblaster]

[ Aqua can't help but giggle a bit in response.]

Alright. When do you want me to come over for your lessons? And is there anything in particular that you want to start with?

[acquittals]

They do, don't they? Almost makes it seem like they're meant to be...

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Maybe being a fox is your spirit animal...?

Have you felt them up before?

[acquittals]

[She's almost bouncing waiting for this girl to arrive. They seem very sweet which makes her want to meet her even more. Once she arrives, Cyrus is greeting her with a large smile, equally excited to see her as she is the ingredients.

Until she realizes they hadn't exchanged names.]

I'm Cyrus! I guess names are in order, huh? [She feels silly having forgotten that.]

[acquittals]

My ears? Of course I have. I mean who hasn't at least touched their own ears?

[acquittals]

Yes, I have. I go by them all the time, but nothing turns out well.

[She just has the natural ability to not be able to cook and she hates it.]

[acquittals]

Maybe I should do that. At least so there's something on hand for that reason. Though if I get vegetables, I'm more likely to just make a salad. Without knowing what to do with them, or how to properly cook them, they're unfortunately just a waste.

[Which is what's happening right now. She wants good food, she wants to make good food, it is not possible to make good food.]

[acquittals]

Something easy, and you're free to come over whenever. It's not like I'm really busy right now or anything. Just give me a heads up.

[For Aqua, her schedule is always free.]

[acquittals]

Even learning how to make coffee would be great.
I always make it far too bitter.

[acquittals]

Whatever it is, it sounds delicious and very customizable. Maybe it's something I really should start with if it's that simple.

[And huge batches? She's totally sold on this, the hungry girl she is. Granted, she fears she might mess up a batch, but on the other hand if she learns how to cook well, this could be great.]

I'm totally in!

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Ah good point.

Have you let anyone else feel them then?

[hunksmash]

Awesome! [ He's so! Happy!! To help!! ]

Where do you wanna meet up? Or do you just want me to shoot you a recipe and hope for the best?

[acquittals]

Not really? Not that I'm against anyone feeling them, but it's just I think so many of us are used to these parts that it's not a big deal.

[acquittals]

We can meet up at my place or your place! Or if there's somewhere else you'd rather meet, that's totally fine, too. But I would prefer that you teach me because even if you send me a recipe, I'm bound to mess it up.

[There's a nervous laugh from her.]

I think I'm just a visual learner, is all.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

I haven’t felt anyone else’s animal ears though! Call it not being here long enough, but I really want to feel them!

[ More for the reaction than the sensation, because Konoka knew how furry ears felt thanks to having her own. ]

[hunksmash]

If it works for you, maybe your place? It might be good to know what tools you're working with before we get into it.

I can bring groceries, though. I can probably handle rice and stock and eggs.

[purport]

Some prefer it bitter.

But I can teach you how to make milk coffee, if you'd rather something sweet.

[bloodisthicker]

That's definitely the spirit! Honestly, part of the fun of this place has been learning about different foods from all sorts of places and cultures I've never even heard of. It's a great place to be adventurous.

[songspring]

I'll be sure to remember your name, Cyrus. You've shown me a great amount of hospitality so far.

[She's hoping that they can be good friends. ]

We've got a few things to take care of um. Can you show me to your kitchen?

[bubbleblaster]

[ Okay, that... actually doesn't give her much to go on, to be honest. But she's sure she can figure something out.]

Alright. I'll try to think of things I know that are easy to cook, and then I'll head over later tonight?

[acquittals]

I guess different animal ears would have different sensations, that's true.

[(Un)fortunately, she's naive enough to not question this...]

[acquittals]

Yes, my place would be best. After all, I wouldn't want to mess up your supplies and you're being generous enough to bring food over.

[Given she's known to mess up things, some will probably go to waste, she imagines.]

Shall I send you my address?

[acquittals]

Yes, I would actually. That sounds wonderful if you could teach me that!

[acquittals]

Hopefully I don't get too adventurous. I'd hate to find out I made something out of cow's gut or tongue or something. Ugh, that sounds so gross...
