[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!

[ Her video gets answered by a brunette who may or may not look familiar. Unlike when she met her though, Konoka's hair is down, and she's dressed much more casually.

She was peeking in curiously at her question, though her eyes also flick towards those fox ears. ]

I can help! Though to start, what have you tried to cook?

[badluckblues]

if you can make a salad taste good then you are well on your way to being a gourmet chef

[systembreaker]

Find some poor fool to cook for you then!

All you can do is salad? That’s... [ Insane, basically, but that’s rude to say. ] Uh.

Well, I can help. I’ve got some simple stuff that you can do bulk batches of pretty easily. It’s mostly staple foods, too, so it’s pretty affordable.

[A fellow hungry fox-eared friend! Yusuke can relate.]

The key is to maximise nutritional value while minimising cost. Salads are as wasteful as frozen meals in that regard, because they're not filling and not especially nutritious, if composed only of green leaves and the like.

If you're able to follow recipes, the next step is to experiment with ingredients. Don't be afraid to throw unusual pairings together and find things that you enjoy.

I'd be happy to help. It won't be anything fancy, but I can at least keep you fed.

[Or, you know, she'd also be happy to skip directly to the moonlacing part. That just... won't actually help Cyrus build any cooking skills.]

I'd be happy to help!

[ Not that Cyrus doesn't already have plenty of people who are willing to teach her how to cook, but still, her friend needs help. ]

I wouldn't say I'm a great cook except with baking, but I should be able to help you learn how to at least make some meals that taste good.

Hello, my name's Azura. I would be happy to lend you some assistance.

Don't worry too much about payments! I'm just interested in seeing what kinds of things you're able to make.

Even a simple dish can be quite exquisite. Do you have time now?

Hmm... that seems like the sort of thing that should be done in person if you haven't had much luck following a recipe.

[His fox ears twitch a bit thoughtfully...]

I've done a bit of cooking in my time, so I wouldn't be averse to giving you a lesson or two. I'm an amateur, but it usually works out well enough for me... and it can't hurt getting lessons from a variety of people so you won't just be making one thing all the time.

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