[Hawk's on the observation deck, hands tucked into pockets. He's a little restless and shifting from foot to foot, though he's trying not to let that show too much.] Amazing view, isn't it? I've never seen the stars this close. [quietly, mostly to himself] I wonder if the Holyland would be like this.

[attention attention on the CAT, now] Seems like a good spot for a farewell party, if anyone wants to do that. Haven't got anything much right now, but I'm sure we can all grab things we like.

[Haha! If only she could know that!]

You're welcome! It's called an omamori and will protect you from bad luck. This one will help you with tests in particular. You don't have to do anything but keep it near you. Oh, and don't open it.

Now we'll both be lucky!

[desertdaggers]

[well, maybe sometime, who knows?]

Tests? It sounds rather handy, then. [nods] I see.

Yep!

[wind-of-reason.livejournal.com]

[With a bright smile and a relieved sigh Fuu settles back into a chair at the table. Even though there is no solution for her problem, she does indeed feel better, and even a bit optimistic. She takes up a pair of chopsticks that had come with the boxed sushi.]

Now that our luck is replenished, how about we continue enjoying this food? And I would still be happy to teach you how to make it, if you would be so kind as to show me how you make it in your world.

[desertdaggers]

[it's catching! Or he's feeling better about the chances of things at home turning out well, and picks up his chopsticks again and the sushi.]

I'd like that! Though- I didn't really get a good look at how they did it. I can still try, but- whether it'd hold together… [hmm.]

[wind-of-reason.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it will be just fine! What kind of ingredients does it use?


[ooc: Man, it's hard to get these guys to say goodbye! They are just so fun together. XD]

[desertdaggers]

Well, it's mainly fish, cooked in some kind of leaf- I think it was steamed. The place we ate served it with something called couscous, and I think they'd used some kind of sauce on it.

[*nods!* I'm feeling sad about getting there, too.]

[wind-of-reason.livejournal.com]

It sounds like some of that should be straight-forward enough! I'm sure we'll be able to make a reasonable copy of your dish.

[Well, hopefully. 'some kind' of leaf, 'some kind' of sauce... at least she's heard of couscous, even if she's never eaten it.]

[desertdaggers]

[the most helpful, clearly!] Ah, you think so? That'd be good!

[wind-of-reason.livejournal.com]

It would!
Perhaps we could each take some with us when we leave. Who knows what will happen when we return! It might be useful to have some food.


[ooc: I'm sorry, I'm just not sure where else to take this but them going through a whole cooking lesson after eating the sushi XDD]

[desertdaggers]

It can't hurt! And I'm not sure where we'll get our next meal, so it's bound to be handy. [staying in Navarre might not be so good for his health :|a. and going for another piece of sushi!]

[Sounds right. How do we want to work that?]

[wind-of-reason.livejournal.com]

[Fuu agreed heartily and therefore after eating the sushi she goes shopping with Hawk for sushi ingredients. Borrowing a suitable kitchen she then proceeds to teach him the basics (http://www.makemysushi.com/index.php/How-to-make-sushi/classic-roll.html) of making sushi, with a healthy helping of sushi trivia (http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=83313628309) on the side. As a bonus, she also shows him how to make onigiri (http://www.airandangels.com/bentobox/images/onigirithree.png), seeing as the ingredients are all there. Once he is comfortable with the techniques, she happily presents him with her plastic chopsticks. Certainly he would use them now that he knows how to make Japanese food.]

[desertdaggers]

[Hawk thanks her for that, not being sure where he'd get any back home.

Making the fish wrapped in banana leaves involves some trial and error, though that's mainly due to the sauce for the fish- which is mainly coconut based, with a taste of lemon zest and touch of spices. Steaming the fish in its leaf and the couscous is reasonably easy, though! That just takes time, even if he maybe overdoes the couscous a little.]

[wind-of-reason.livejournal.com]

[aw, with some practice he could make some ^.~ But she's glad he likes them!]

[Trail-and-error is all part of the tasty adventure! By the end of it she's absolutely stuffed and there are lots of left-overs to divide between them. Sliding most of the food over to him, she smiles brightly.]

Please, take this. When I go back I won't be too far from places to get food from, but you were in the midst of a long trek.

[desertdaggers]

Enough people to eat them, too! Thanks, Fuu. [a more gentle smile as he starts packing them all away.]

[sorry for the delay!]

[wind-of-reason.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

[She pauses, her smile frozen. She doesn't want to say farewell, but she has stayed long enough. The extra time she was able to take has made valuable memories.]

My best regards to you as you continue your journey. And thank you again for everything.

no worries!

[desertdaggers]

Glad I could help. [reaches out to squeeze her hand gently] Take care of yourself, Fuu.

[wind-of-reason.livejournal.com]

[She nods, awkwardly squeezing his hand back, trying her best to keep her face bright. Best not to take to long. It will just make it more sad.]

And you, Hawk. Farewell.

[Taking up her bag she bows deeply then walks away, turning once at the door to wave one last time.]


[ooc: Ah~! It was a pleasure! I do very much hope to see you next year! ^.^]

[desertdaggers]

[He doesn't trust his voice enough at the moment to say anything, so he nods and waves back to her. He takes a little while longer to finish packing, and then gets up, ready to head off.]

[Same here. It's been a blast. ♥!]
