If you don't know anything about cooking, anyway. Once you actually know what you're doing it isn't really that important.

[sealeted]

So you would think. It feels that way to me, but outstanding cases to the contrary do exist, all the same. At the very least, I've always gotten very good verdicts on what I make for other people.

[guerrilla]

Oh, me too. The ones I poisoned didn't get a chance to tell me what they thought about it, but they ate it, so that's a good review by itself. I think it's just you and some other guy that I've cooked for without poisoning it to hell and back, though, so as far as real reviews go you've probably got more than me.

[sealeted]

Well, speaking as one of those precious few, I found them delicious. If you want, I'll return the favor sometime. You can judge for yourself.

[guerrilla]

Only if I can watch you make it.

[sealeted]

Deal. Do you want to go ingredient shopping together too?

[guerrilla]

If you don't mind.

It's not anything personal.

[sealeted]

It's fine. You'd feel anxious otherwise, just out of habit. Right?

[guerrilla]

Right. I'm working on kicking that habit, but it's going to take a lot more work than I thought.

[sealeted]

I'm the last person you have to explain that to.

[Her insomnia may jump to mind.]

[guerrilla]

It's because I knew you'd understand that I said it.

Wrote it. Whatever.

[Sometimes all someone needs is a little bit of commiseration.]

[sealeted]

[Augh, her heart.]

Thanks, I think.

[guerrilla]

I go out of my way to say something nice and that's your response?

[sealeted]

I'm half convinced if I'm too enthusiastic I'll just spook you.

[guerrilla]

I'm not SCARED, you know.

[what a liar]

[sealeted]

I didn't say you were.

[guerrilla]

How else am I supposed to interpret "spook?"

[sealeted]

Startled by something you don't expect?

[guerrilla]

That just makes it weird that you're so concerned about startling someone.

[sealeted]

You have a way of getting startled that makes it worth the concern.

[guerrilla]

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

[sealeted]

It means when I pinch a nerve I don't know is there, it usually ends in you getting mad and blowing up at me.

[guerrilla]

[Oof. He's glad this is happening through notes so she can't see him reacting.]

I didn't last time. And I'll try not to next time. I d

[There's no indication of what he wanted that third sentence to be, just that he's thought better of it.]

[sealeted]

I know. But there's nothing wrong with both of us putting in effort, is there?

[guerrilla]

Even if I said yes, you'd just keep doing whatever you want.

So I guess there's nothing wrong with it.
