[Lunatia's resident centaur lady is back on screen, and this time she's sharing the spotlight with... a table full of fresh vegetables? Still a bit dirty, fresh from the soil, good ol' vegetables... That Konoha bows over to start out.]

Hello, everyone! My name is Konoha... I'm a jinba, or a "centaur" if you want... I'm from Echigo in Japan, but lots of people say I'm from the past...

[She's just going to do the same introduction every time, counting off details on her fingers to make sure she gets all the good points... there's too many people on this thing and she doesn't check it enough to keep track... oops. Anyway-]

I wanted to ask people some questions about food! My husband and I have set up a little farmstead, but the crops are growing, um, way faster than they really ought to be... [we're just going to speed past the blush] and it's not like we actually have to work for money here, so I was thinking of not just taking the crops to market but... serving meals at the house? Or sending them to people elsewhere in the city? I don't know, but I've met a lot of people here who said they just eat food from the stores, and I know those are really convenient, but it can't be better than a home cooked meal, can it?


[Look at this big turnip! Isn't it healthy looking?! Don't you just want to eat it?? Konoha smiles, making the root vegetable dance around the screen.]

So... can I ask you some questions about what sort of food you like? Or what kind of things you miss from your home? Maybe what they make in your country with vegetables? If you give me some of your time, I'll send you some fresh ones as a "thank you"-

Promise!

[One last bow... and she and the turnip sign off.]

[ He can't help the airy laugh that escapes him, bright amusement on his face. ]

You can understand now why I've always been responsible for the cooking in this household.

[ Regardless of how dumb his idiot friends are, they're still his friends. He can't let them starve or anything.

While Ignis can't tell whatever expression is on Konoha's face, he has a feeling he knows what she means when she sounds so hesitant yet persistent in wanting to help him. Just the way Mercy was. Just the way Noct was. It really does make that lonely feeling a little less heavy on his shoulders. ]

Yes, I will. Your company has always been wonderful to have.

[lumberlady]

Because otherwise there's only... monster shaped chicken bits?

[Dino... nuggets... She'll never forget the dino nuggets...

But she'll also never stop wanting to help her friends, either. And that includes Ignis.]

[tayoru]

[ Gurl... he's never going to escape the curse of the dinosaur nuggies. ]

Once again, there is a reason only I do the cooking in the household. Gladio could cook, but... not well.

[lumberlady]

I mean... I get it... Gonta is a pretty good cook for a man, actually, but I like doing it... and he's much better at dressing the game anyway...

[It's just a good idea to divide the labor! Makes sense!!]

[tayoru]

[ Let big strong muscle husband do the dirty work, that's a motto Ignis could live by. ]

That happens to be of Gladio's expertise as well. He considers himself an outdoorsman, which is of benefit when you do an extensive amount of camping. He instructed me how to best prepare wild game for cooking. As we are all from a large city, hunting skills aren't exactly common knowledge.

[they've got a lot of hashtag relationship goals in common maybe...]

Ehe, Gonta clan is from the deep mountains, not anywhere near the human villages, so he knows all sorts of things about living outside... I have to learn, too, now that I'm his wife...

Maybe I should ask you for tips!

[tayoru]

Tips on preparing meals, or tips on being a housewife?
