Pixi says, "I hunted a deer for the venison, then used up just about all of it's meat to use for this goulash. Also picked a few herbs to put into it, and the Sour Cream is from the place I used to work, as well as the butter on the noodles. The noodles are from Rabanastre as well...." She then smiles. "I'm not that good of a cook, but this? I've made many times before."" |
| Aerith |
Aerith nodded as she spooned up some more and dug in with relish. "This is good stuff. I didn't know you could cook!" She put her spoon down after a few moments and sighed. "So what have you been up to besides this?" |
| Pixi |
Pixi shrugs. "Nothing much. Spent most of my time hunting and gathering herbs. Training a little bit too. The deer I took down was huge. 18 point rack." |
| Aerith |
Aerith didn't know what that meant exactly, but... she whistled, impressed all the same. "Very nice!" She chuckled and spooned the stew up again. "Y'know, there's a lot been happening in Manhattan as of late... I think something big's brewing over there." |
| Pixi |
Pixi says, "18 points means the buck had lived a long time and was huge." She then chuckles. "Manhattan huh? More than likely is, Aerith. I can't really help though. I was there once and.......had to avoid vehicles, other people, and more.....just to help someone. No thanks. I think manhattan is a heartless funnel."" |
| Aerith |
Aerith shrugged. "I'm not so sure... Lately I've been feeling things speeding up, like everyone's rushing to some big end, some final conclusion. And it's not even the final-final one." She shook her head. "I'm not sure if I'm even making sense, but it's what I feel." |
| Pixi |
Pixi says, "Well, you do know when things are coming about, Aerith. You just have to work with what resources are available to you." She then sighs a bit and gets some out of the corck pot herself. It's a rather large crock pot. "Other than that, Aerith, what've you been up to?"" |
| Aerith |
Aerith giggled. "Oh not much! Saving a Casino, learning how to play cards, catching a buncha criminals, and saving my little nezumi friend from being eaten." She takes another bite out of her stew. "Nothing special." |
| Pixi |
Pixi tilts her head. She doesn't seem as surprised about the rest, as she does about her having a Nezumi friend. "What's a Nezumi?" |
| Aerith |
Aerith isn't surprised Pixi hasn't heard of them. "The Nezumi are a race of rat-like creatures. I think my friend, Faruja, said he was from somewhere called Burmecia." |
| Pixi |
Pixi says, "Strange. Of course, I'm betting he wasn't as beat up as Faruja." She then perks an ear. "Why would they call themselves Burmecians and Nezumi if they're both rat-like? That's like saying humans with different skin colors are completely different races."" |
| Aerith |
Aerith chuckled. "They call themselves Burmecians because that's where they're from. The name of the species as a whole though is Nezumi." She shrugged. "I get what you're saying, though." |
| Pixi |
Pixi says, "Sounds like the Burmecians have a lot of pride in them." This didn't surprise her because of her initial meeting with Faruja." |
| Aerith |
Aerith nodded and polished off her bowl of stew with a flourish. "Thanks, Pixi! So then, what do you think we should do now? I mean, we can't stay here in Goug forever, can we?" |
| Pixi |
Pixi says, "I don't think so. The very air is horrible to breathe. But I don't think Tifa would leave here unless you tied her up and threw her over your shoulder." She then makes a bit of a face as she finishes her bowl as well.....and looks at the crock pot. "I hope Tifa can make use of it."" |
| Aerith |
Aerith smiled. "Tifa can make use of anything she wants. She's resourceful like that." Aerith turned toward the doors. "And you're right about the air... especially since we're in a cave system of all things. There are other ways to do what they're doing... they just don't want to." |
| Pixi |
A LOT of very nice fragrances are coming from the back of Seventh Heaven.
Seems Pixi's been busy since everyone's been gone. Working on a few recipes and getting back into the swing of cooking, Pixi comes out of the back and waves to Aerith. "Hey Aerith. Did you have fun?" |
| Aerith |
Finally, back to what she considers home. At least for the time being, anyway.
Aerith walks into Seventh Heaven and plops onto one of the stools, sighing as she props her staff against the bar. With a glance around, she wonders what's been going on around these parts, since she's been spending most of her time in Manhattan and the like. And yet she realizes that she hasn't even seen a tenth of this world... |
| Aerith |
Aerith's nose twitched, almost on its own will, and she perks up as Pixi comes out of the back. With a grin, the flowergirl waves and takes in a much deeper breath. "Hey, smells like you've been busy! What's cooking, and can I have some?" |
| Pixi |
Pixi smiles to Aerith. "Of course. One second, Aerith." she says heading over towards a crock pot and spooning some of it into a bowl......then sliding it to Aerith with a spoon. "Here you are." It obviously has meat, sour cream, and noodles. |
| Aerith |
Aerith took a good whiff of the concoction and decided, why not give it a try? She spooned some up, gave it a taste... and her eyes widened. "This is great!" She pointed the business end of her spoon at the stew. "What's in this?" |
