second pact ❖ {food for thought}

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[The scent of freshly-baked cookies drifts across the Plane. Apparently it's a good time to be around, because Emil's jumping on the food bandwagon and taking over the kitchen. The counters are covered with white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies, all made in the shape of little white bunnies with dark chocolate chips for eyes and little chocolate x's for noses.

Finished with that batch of cookies, Emil busies himself with spooning some other kind of delicious chocolate thing into a pan. Brownies? Possibly.]

I hope this is enough...

Mm.

A chore. Really?

[pactum.livejournal.com]

A really scary chore...

But I should be braver. You're right. I should be enjoying this, I just... there's so many things I don't understand. It's hard.

[lamb_of_gold]

It's easy to become overwhelmed. The world is a large place, and we are but very small parts of it. But in time you will come to know it, and it won't be so frightening anymore.

[Emil gazes up at Mu for a long moment.]

... Even for someone like me?

[lamb_of_gold]

Even for someone like you.

[pactum.livejournal.com]

A-all right. I'll try my best.

... No. I have to do better than that. I have to really do it.

[He looks determined.]

Courage is magic, so... so I'm going to do this!

[lamb_of_gold]

[Smiles] With an attitude like that, you will go far.

[Mu, you are not helping the fanboying over here.]

T... thanks. The first friend I ever made told me that...

[lamb_of_gold]

[Pfft fanboys.]

Having the right mindset makes many things less daunting.

[pactum.livejournal.com]

I guess it would... T-that's what mindsets are for, right?

[lamb_of_gold]

Take care your sweets don't burn.

[pactum.livejournal.com]

My -- aaahh!

[Yeah, okay, dropping the convo and running back to the brownies. They're not burned, but they do smell very nice as he opens the oven and takes them out.]

Phew...

[lamb_of_gold]

[Juuuuuust smiles]

[pactum.livejournal.com]

Um, Mu, they'll take a while to cool, but... I can leave them out if you want them later.

[lamb_of_gold]

No, thank you. I'ven't much a palate for sweet things.

[pactum.livejournal.com]

Oh... okay.

[He sets the pan off to the side to cool.]

What kind of things do you like, then?

[lamb_of_gold]

Savory, mostly. Spicy foods as well, though I rarely make that for myself. I consider it a treat.

[pactum.livejournal.com]

Ah...

Do you eat meat?

[lamb_of_gold]

Not at all. I was raised not doing so.

[pactum.livejournal.com]

Somehow I thought you'd say something like that...

[lamb_of_gold]

Was it that obvious?

[pactum.livejournal.com]

N-no, it's just... I can't imagine someone like you killing for food.

[lamb_of_gold]

As I said, it is simply how I was raised. I could not digest meat if I ate it now. Everything meets an end someday, be it for food or other purposes.

[pactum.livejournal.com]

Ah... y-yes, I guess it does.
