who stole your heart and the key?

[steelmyself]

In the dark, you taste something sweet and tart on your tongue, almost like apple but not quite: pomegranate juice, out of nowhere. A hint of something metallic accompanies it.

You fall down.

"What? No way--it's not like that!"

The woman is young and friendly-looking, with short hair and cheerful eyes. She's attempting to cook in a pot over the campfire, humming to herself as she does so. Oddly, she seems to be using a pair of swords to stir the ingredients.

She straightens up as she sees the both of you and waves frantically. "S̛̀h̸̨̡̢i̴͏͞ŕ̸̕o͘o̴̵͟o̶͞͏͝҉u̴̧͢͢uuuu!"

Hello miss.

[Nodding to the woman and ignoring the kid's protests as she comes over to set them both by the fire.]

Re: THE FIELD

[steelmyself]

"Hey, hey!" She goes back to stirring the pot with the swords. "Aren't you guys late? I've been cooking dinner all this time!"

"Uh," the boy says, looking suspiciously towards the pot.

Re: THE FIELD

[swordingitout]

Are we late? My apologies.

[She tugs Shirou down so they're all sitting by the fire.]

What did you make?

Re: THE FIELD

[steelmyself]

She beams. "Dinner!"

Shirou leans over the pot. "You idiot, we can't eat this! It's terrible! Ugh...I hate wasting food, but we'll have to dump it out and I'll start us a new meal."

Re: THE FIELD

[swordingitout]

[She watches all this, seemingly content with the interchange.]

[Then leans over to inspect the food herself. Curious about it.]

Re: THE FIELD

[steelmyself]

They start to bicker about the food a bit. Meanwhile, as far as you can see inside the pot...this is a really bad combination of ingredients. No one in their right mind would try to make a meal out of this.

Re: THE FIELD

[swordingitout]

[Well. That's fascinating. She grabs a stirring sword to try to fish out some of this amazing dish and taste it.]

Re: THE FIELD

[steelmyself]

Really?

It tastes hideous.

Re: THE FIELD

[swordingitout]

...Fascinating.

[She chews thoughtfully.]

I've never tried a dish like this.

Re: THE FIELD

[steelmyself]

"You're crazy," the boy says, while the woman beams delightedly.

Re: THE FIELD

[swordingitout]

Fufu, but I'd like to try your dinner as well.

Re: THE FIELD

[steelmyself]

"Of course I'll make a better dinner than this," the boy begins.

The light from above has acquired a timeless, golden quality, as if you've been sitting here chatting and eating all day and yet the near-twilight of dinner time will go on forever and ever.

Re: THE FIELD

[swordingitout]

[She doesn't object to this honestly, it seems pleasant enough. Fun, even. So she settles and stretches out, resting back on her hands.] Make a more thrilling dish? I'd like to see you. I felt like I might ascend to another plane of existence from one bite of this one.
