[Video] You got those hungry eyes

[songbird_slayer]

[The feed's the interior of one of the many huts and a petite woman tying back a curtain of purple hair into a high ponytail, leaving a pair of lengths of hair down at either side of her face. She purses her lips and gives the hair a fluff before she decides she's satisfied.

She entwines her fingers under her chin and flashes her very best smile.]

New show, new faces. Hello, sweethearts and hungry ones. I'm Madhuri. 'Tis a pleasure.

It's taken me quite a bit of hunting, skinning and more than a few deft bits of bladework - I'm a one-woman army, let me tell you - but I have a delectable smorgasbord of things on offer for those looking to learn the art of cooking. Therein lies the catch: I will only give you the how-to, and it's my students who will be putting together a feast for the eyes, the minds and naturally the stomachs!

If you'll join me, I'll be waiting in the estate's kitchen tomorrow evening, where I will begin promptly at sundown. Dinner shant be late and neither should you!

The not-entirely-confident are welcome to bear witness, and tasters are permitted as well if you're looking to nibble and dash... just don't be surprised if a wooden spoon or twelve gives you a sound whip to the back of your grabby hands.

With all of my prattle aside, I'm here for questions, comments, and/or adoration. I'll see you tomorrow~

QUESTION

[Is it possible to hear him salivating through telepathy?

Because he's salivating.]

WILL THERE BE THAT ROASTED MARROW MEAT STUFF

[songbird_slayer]

But of course! You've been such a good boy, after all.

[mech_and_mutt]

[He's so very grateful he'll overlook some of the more patronizing tones to what she just thought his way.]

I'm there. Didn't get to ask ya last time, either- d'ya need a certain kind of bone to do that or will any old bone do?

'cause I've got a few I can bring. [More than a few.]

[songbird_slayer]

Oh! Femur. Biggest bone in the body. Holds the most marrow.

But I could take some others; I'd be happy to make you a bone broth for some future soup.

[mech_and_mutt]

I got a buncha small ones for chewin', and I'm willin' to give it a try. Close enough.

[Think of it like a fun-size serving.]

So what'll be on the menu?--I mean lesson plan.

[songbird_slayer]

A little of this and a little of that.

A girl's gotta keep her secrets, now doesn't she?

[mech_and_mutt]

[MADHURI YOU TEASE.]

Fiiiiine-- either way I'll probably be up all night drooling.

Just so long as there's more meat than just boar.

[songbird_slayer]

Ohhh nothing muuuch...

I've got some rabbit, a few lovely bucks and a manner of wildfowl. How's duck sound?

[stripartist]

[....cooking lessons?]

Do you mind someone who's only familiar with the theory of cooking? How flavors work together and...fancier things, that sort of thing.

[songbird_slayer]

I don't mind at all! The theory, is it...? That's quite interesting.

I've never heard of someone who had the theory before the core skill when it comes to cooking, and I'm excited to see what you whip up.

[stripartist]

It's interesting, but I could never afford food I might not be able to eat when I was done with it so I never got to practice much, that's all.

[songbird_slayer]

Well, that's what I'm here for! And we all get to eat what's made, so nobody goes home hungry.

[She balled a fist.]

Not on my watch.

[stripartist]

That's very kind of you, [and the slightest hesitation] sensei.

[songbird_slayer]

Ooh... Far Eastern. Does 'Kugane' ring a bell to you at all? Pardon the strange question.

[stripartist]

[Eh, this entire world is strange, Yusuke's okay with this.]

No, I'm sorry. It sounds Japanese, but not quite.

[songbird_slayer]

That's alright. I pondered if you were from Eorzea for a moment, but it seems not.

Nevertheless, I look forward to seeing you and the others tomorrow night!

[wingfic]

[The voice sounds hesitant, and almost a little sullen, as though whoever it is isn't used to speaking up like this.]

So . . . you're giving lessons. Cooking lessons. Is that right?
