Paralogue 16.4: To Cook For Him


Featuring: Sula, Vivianna


[10:18 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: Sula is fast asleep again in the stables. With his goods relocated from the camp outside Amaterasu, he all but lives here, and the workers have given up trying to prevent it.
[10:23 PM] Mika: Vivianna yawns as she walks into the stables. "Este mommy's here." She giggles as the foal walks over to her, nuzzling her. He was looking much healthier already. She smiles and pets him softly. "I brought some treats for you, since you can start eating a little solid food."
[10:24 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: Around the foal's neck is a beautiful Hoshidan necklace, the perfect size, meant to ward off possession and evil spirits.(edited)
[10:27 PM] Mika: She gasp and lightly touches it. "Who in the world got you such a beautiful thing.."
[10:28 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: Este shakes his head. It makes interesting noises as it rattles.
[10:32 PM] Mika: "My babies already getting such gifts!" She leads him out to the other side of the stables where she sits. "I got you some caramel bites and something that taste like cinniom apples."
0:33 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: Este follows her over. Sula, sensing the little one's absence, stirs and mumbles.
[10:36 PM] Mika: She finally notices him and smiles..ah there was that warm feeling..how horrible. "Did you tire your father out Este? Such a healthy boy." She grins as she feeds him.
[10:37 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: Este's got much more of an appetite this time, happily eating the food.
[10:38 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: He's not quite used to solid food, so it's a little messy.
[10:40 PM] Mika: She laughs happily, hugging him as he eats. She was so happy her little one was feeling better.
[10:40 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: "E-este...no..."
[10:40 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: Sula reaches into the air, clutching at his robe with the other
[10:43 PM] Mika: She looks. "Ah seems like father is having a bad dream, lets wake him with something nice!" She walks Este back over grinning as she and Este lay on Sula.
[10:43 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: Sula's eyes jolt open in shock.
[10:44 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: "!!! ...Vivi-i..." Then he sighs with relief, embracing them.
[10:45 PM] Mika: She tries to hide her laughter. "Sula, it's ok, we're safe. In face Este was enjoying some treats I bought him. He has such a big appatight." She feels warm and happy and from the look of it so did Este.
[10:47 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: "A good appetite means a good boy, ha ha! Kwemo, Este-i. Kwemo, Vivi-i."
[10:49 PM] Mika: "He's messy though, still needs to get used to solid foods." She tickles Este under his neck.
[10:50 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: "Already? So fast!"
[10:51 PM] Mika: "I know! But he can't be drinking milk forever."
[10:53 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: Sula pets Este. "I wonder if he looks too mighty for an Este...but that is not my decision, ha ha."
[10:54 PM] Mika: "His name suits him, I think you named him well." She hopes he hasn't noticed that she's melted into his embrace.
[10:56 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: "All I did was receive the truth, Vivi-i. He cracks his neck back and smiles. "The gods chose his name...and his fate."
[10:57 PM] Mika: "Ah Sula did you get that necklace for him, it's lovely!"
[10:59 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: He nods upwards. "I...received it from a travelling healer. It will help with his growths..." Sula grins, out of a strange mix of gratitude and pride. "...as long as it is surrounded by positive thoughts."
[11:02 PM] Mika: "Positive thoughts..." She frowns..oh last night..well her baby didn't look sick..still. "It really is a lovely thing, I think I'd like one for myself."
[11:02 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: Sula stops for a moment, fumbling with his robe. "That is why I took so long returning here..."
[11:04 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: He reveals a feathered reed necklace, not unlike the ornaments of his own clothing except for the distinctive pink flower petals. "So I could make this." Sula hands it to her. Kwemo, Vivi."(edited)
[11:07 PM] Mika: She looks down at it in shock. "O-Oh Sula it's wonderful!" She throws her arms around him, hugging him tight. Este chews a little on Sula's robe.
[11:11 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: Pleasantly surprised, Sula returns the hug, just as tight, stroking the horse to try to push it off. "Of course, of course! I used to make much more of these, before I met Shimi-e." His eyes close. "They do not have any special enchantment...but if this brings you positive thoughts then you are Kwemo all the same."(edited)
[11:13 PM] Mika: She pushes back a little, looking up at him, a soft blush on her cheeks. "Sula..please could you put it on me."
[11:15 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: Sula looks distraught for a moment at the sudden resurgence of a fever. He hadn't realized just how urgent his charm was. Then he nods, smiling at her. "Of course, Vivi-i." Sula takes it from her hands, lowering it gingerly over her head. It was only a little too big.
[11:17 PM] Mika: Her heart flutters as the weight of the necklace settles on her. "It's big but I think that makes it special." She slowly places her hand on top his. "I do truly love it Sula."
[11:19 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: "Truly? I know the Dwabi style is strange..." He looks at his Este-bitten robe. "...and many here just laugh at it."
[11:20 PM] Mika: Her hand slowly tightens as she nods. "I..I really like it. It suits you. D-Do you think I'd look good in it?"
[11:22 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: Sula's grey eyes are shining. "You look beautiful in it, Vivi-i. The petals suit you better than Sula, ha ha."
[11:25 PM] Mika: Had Este not butted himself against her side..s-she might have done something stupid. She tries not to look at their now linked hands. "Thank you Sula, I like that we sorta match now." She uses her free hand to feed Este more caramel.
[11:27 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: He nods, holding her hand tight. "The Dwabi dress for warm days, busy days...more comfortable than kingdom clothing. Not so different from some of the things you wear.."(edited)
[11:31 PM] Mika: "Oh like the outfit I was wearing when I first came here in. I think I'd enjoy wearing Dwabi clothes then." His hand was warm and much larger then hers.
[11:34 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: Sula thought back to when he designed his outfit, a quixotic hybrid of Khlinese and Dwabi. "Unfortunately, in these lands no one could trust a holy man... With no shirt! Ha!"(edited)
[11:35 PM] Mika: She giggles. "Well it is a little shock to see...oh! Sula I brought you some cake I made for you. It's banana flavored."
[11:38 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: Sula's eyebrows raise. "Ah--Thank you Vivi-i, but yesterday I--" His mouth remembers the picnic. "You made the soup, that night? When you rodeShimi-e?
[11:38 PM] Mika: "I did."
[11:39 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: Sula's stomach quickens in anticipation. "Show me this cake."
[11:41 PM] Mika: She stands, not really ready to let go of his hand. She lets go, letting her hand linger in his before quickly getting the cake.
[11:41 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: Sula flattens the hand, humming to himself. He rises.
[11:43 PM] Mika: She giggles, seems Este already got into some. She returns and hands him a slice. He didn't even notice they were holding hand huh...she tries not to let it get her down.
[11:44 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: Sula finishes his meditation, looks at the slice...and devours it in almost an instant, as if this were a battlefield.
[11:44 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: "Omm......" He ponders the meal, letting its flavor resonate to his very soul.
[11:45 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: "Vivian-na...This milk. Is it...coconut milk?"
[11:45 PM] Mika: "Well yes I did use a little coconut milk. Makes the cake moist."
[11:50 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: "Perfect. These are truly bananas, too. They only grow with the Dwabi, you know."(edited)
[11:51 PM] Mika: "Is that right? I was wondering why they were so pricy." She hands him another slice, letting their arms brush as she touches his hand again.
[11:52 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: Sula eats this one even faster. He might be messier than Este. "And the timing! Just long enough, even with a Frey-zen oven..."
[11:53 PM] Mika: She grins. "Like father like son." They are holding hands again.
[11:54 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: Sula looks directly into her eyes. "You are a great chef, Vivi-i. And that is very rare on the mainland."
[11:55 PM] Mika: It wasn't fair that his eyes, once she had thought boring was so..so magical now. "I-Is it? I'm sure there are better chefs out there."
[11:58 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: "Of course, ha ha." He felt the warmth from her hand. It didn't feel Nanyo, but... "But they are much older. Born to the Dwabi. You have a disadvantage, and yet the gods have still blessed you so..." Sula remembered someone back in Khlin, filled with hope from Vivianna's cake.
July 8, 2016
[12:00 AM] Mika: Her smile turns a little bitter..blessed her..not at all. Her stomach flips making her finally look away from him. She didn't blush but..but she wonder what it was like to be kisses by him. Vivianna watches Este run with some other young males.
[12:02 AM] [SWEET] Kwakado: Delighted at Este's recovery, Sula holds her closer. "Do not worry. The cake was...Kwemo, indeed. Better than some of the Dwabi food here."
[12:04 AM] Mika: Did he have to do that..hold her like this. "I could always make you some more and others things to...if only you asked."
[12:07 AM] [SWEET] Kwakado: "Please, Vivi-i." Sula felt a sting of hunger, a little higher than normal. "I would love to have more of your cooking...."
[12:08 AM] Mika: She grows bold. Vivianna touches his cheek softly. "I'd love to cook anything for you Sula."
[12:11 AM] [SWEET] Kwakado: Sula feels her energy flow into his cheeks, warming them..."Then...could you--" "Oh, Sula!" Elwyn's voice tugged at his soul. "Should you use the necklace, be sure to keep any objects that could attract evil spirits away!"(edited)
[12:12 AM] [SWEET] Kwakado: "Uu...D-do you think you could learn how to cook Dwabi food?"
[12:12 AM] [SWEET] Kwakado: ...Sula blushes.
[12:15 AM] Mika: She blinks before giving him a tender smile. This was the first time she'd seen him blush. "Of course I could, in fact I'd be more than happy to."
[12:16 AM] [SWEET] Kwakado: Sula's eyes looked away, and his hand felt something wrong with his cheeks. "A-ah, forgive me...It is a great shame..A Dwabi who must ask a Nanya girl to cook for him..."(edited)
[12:22 AM] Mika: She bites her lips. "Don't feel shamed...please..we could cook together Sula." Her voice is sweet and soft.
[12:23 AM] [SWEET] Kwakado: "No, Vivi." He stepped back. "I cannot cook." And I should not even be here..!
[12:28 AM] Mika: She notices him stepping back..ah she went to fast..h..he was rejecting whatever this was..Vivianna looks away, dropping his hand.
[12:30 AM] [SWEET] Kwakado: Seeing her sadness, Sula realizes how harsh he must sound. "Omm..." Sula turns back, and gives her a massive embrace, lifting her feet a little off the ground.
[12:35 AM] Mika: Her shocked laughter is bright as she give him a very bright smile. Her eyes stare into his as her smile turn more loving. "Sula..."
[12:38 AM] [SWEET] Kwakado: "Vivi-e--i." He sets her down. "I would love nothing more than to eat with you. Just...not my own cooking. And not in a stable, ha ha ha ha!"
[12:41 AM] Mika: She sighs, rejected again. "I know I know. I'll cook you something from my own kitchen."
[12:42 AM] [SWEET] Kwakado: "Your own kitchen?" Sula hums. "Is anyone else staying there?"
[12:43 AM] Mika: "No..w-we'll be alone. "
[12:44 AM] [SWEET] Kwakado: "Oh, Kwemo, Vivi-i!" Sula is relieved, and overjoyed, that he could prevent another curse incident without upsetting her. "That would be perfect."(edited)
[12:52 AM] Mika: Of course it was only as friends. She sighs and plays with Este
[12:55 AM] [SWEET] Kwakado: Sula plays with Shimi, similarly. "I could try...asking around, for some recipes." He feeds her a Daikon..jealously?(edited)
[3:15 PM] Mika: She chews on it. "Would you like me to make something with this?"
[7:56 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: "Daikon? Aa, this is just for Shimi-e. But I wonder what you could do with Daikon..."
[7:57 PM] Mika: She swallows it. "It would go nice in some soup."
[7:59 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: Sula nods, looking chipper but aloof. "You do make a fine soup, ha ha." He taps one of Shimi's wings, which unfurls as he begins cleaning leaves off of it.
[8:01 PM] Mika: She looks worried...why was he being cold now. She tightens her fingers around his. "No..No I'll try something different."
[8:06 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: "I know that whatever you make will be Kwemo. Do whatever your heart receives." Sula hoped his messenger reached Drew in time. "It will take...a long time to find some Dwabi recipes."
[8:08 PM] Mika: She sighs. She would look herself..if only to see his eyes light up once more.
[8:11 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: Sula moved on to the other wing. "Shimi-e has been behaving herself quite well with Este-i. I am surprised it is so easy for her."(edited)
[8:13 PM] Mika: She breaks away from him and nods. "I know, it's so sweet. Este just bring out the best in those around him."
[8:16 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: "Uu?" Sula ponders this, struggling with a particularly sticky speck in her wing. "Truly. Even Leo-din seems to settle around him."
[8:18 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: Shimi's clean wing stirs, in a bored sway.
[8:18 PM] Mika: Este trots back over, chewing in her dress. She pets him. "I..I've always wanted to have children."
[8:20 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: Sula hums, releasing Shimi's wing. "It is...a lot of duty."
[8:22 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: "But nothing you couldn't handle, I'm sure." He looks over at her dress as he stows away the brush.(edited)
[8:23 PM] Mika: "I know." She rubs her belly, giving him a quick look before looking away. "Thanks."
[8:25 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: Sula mounts Shimi, and her tail stirs as well. "I need to give this one some time out. Too much sleeping, not enough of the sky."
[8:27 PM] Mika: "I understand, to eger to fly." Este nuzzles Sula's leg. "Please come back soon, Este and..will be waiting."
[8:29 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: The Dwabi rider leans over to the side, almost completely horizontal, and gives Este a good pat while his other arm struggled to hold him up. "Kwemo, Este-i." Then he ascended once more, preparing to signal Shimi. "Kwemo, Vivi-i."
[8:31 PM] Mika: She waves to him, trying to not look like a waiting wife. She hold Este close. "K-Kwemo Sula..c-come back soon." She bites her lip hard before taking a deep breath and blowing him a kiss.
[8:34 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: Out of earshot, Sula meditated from the back of the beast, thanking the gods for sparing Vivianna from...whatever it was that afflicted her. With everyone at the stables safe, and the "invitation" having presumably reached Drew by now, everything was in place. All he needed was a big black sheet.....
[8:34 PM] [SWEET] Kwakado: ======END RP======
