Nope, no worries there right now, at least. You're the best, Tifa.

If I were to hypothetically plan to make a giant breakfast, and I mean a huge one, for a couple of kids and teenagers that live with us, how hard would that be.

[starshower]

Do you mean Fremi and Nimona?

[How cute...]

That depends. How would you rate your skill of flipping pancakes on a scale of 1 to 10?

[activatingcombatmode]

You got it.

I think I can flip a mad pancake. I'd say... at least a generous 8/10.

I want to do something nice for those two. You probably heard about Freminet.

[These two kids... Have had it rough.]

[starshower]

Well that I gotta see.

But yeah, I did hear from him, and he mentioned he talked to you, too. Poor kid looked like he was on the verge of just running away that whole conversation. Think whatever we both told him seemed to help, though.

[activatingcombatmode]

Yeah, poor kid is a shaking leaf in the wind... I want to make sure he feels safe with us.

But let me do all the work, I can scramble all the eggs, crisp up all the bacon and flip all the pancakes. You don't have to lift a finger.

It's just as much for them as I want to do something nice for you too.

[starshower]

Wait, were you gonna be cooking for the whole crew!?

[activatingcombatmode]

Yeah! I can figure it out, no problem! I'm great at handling some cooking!

[Hmm.]

Or at least, I want to learn to get better at it.

[starshower]

Well then, you've come to the right place.

I really don't mind helping if you need it, but I think pancakes is the best place to start. I've been wondering where I can find a waffle maker, though. I've yet to see a proper one around...

And we could get some fresh sausage and bacon! I know a butcher on Eltrut that has the best meats!

[activatingcombatmode]

Okay. Yeah, I'll go with your plan on that then. I'll start with a pancake breakfast and work my way up. And fresh sausage and bacon! Let's do it!

A waffle maker, huh... Don't supposed someone made some sort of magitech one lately.

[starshower]

I could try asking around. I think the bar's breakfast menu could use some sprucing up with waffles. I've always thought they were fancier than pancakes.

[activatingcombatmode]

You've got that right. I'd say waffles are the luxury version of a pancake. Add some berries and whip cream too.

[starshower]

Exactly. And I think these kids deserve some good waffles. So do we, actually.

What kind of berries do you like on yours anyway?

[activatingcombatmode]

Hell yeah we do.

As for berries? I dunno. Probably strawberries or blueberries.

What's your go to choice?

[starshower]

Gonna have to go with strawberries for me, too.

They were always so hard to come by in Midgar fresh, and when I could find them, they were way too expensive. So now I take any opportunity to enjoy them when I find one.

[activatingcombatmode]

Yeah. Can't go wrong with strawberries!

Midgar was always a pain for the good stuff... Makes me think, maybe we could ask Aerith what she thinks about us planting some strawberries.

[starshower]

I'm sure she would love the idea, and having some around the ship's garden would make things SO much easier. You think she knows how to grow them?

[activatingcombatmode]

Aerith? Even if she doesn't I'm sure she could pull off growing them without even trying.

[She's still the best green thumb he knows!]

[starshower]

That's true. I could pick up some seeds next time I'm in town.

Any other fruits we wanna shove into her hands to grow?

[activatingcombatmode]

I heard that those crystals that were found in the abyss can help things grow faster up here too. I want to get my hands on some for her.

What about some berries? Blackberries or raspberries?

[starshower]

I'm pretty partial to raspberries myself, but I've heard blackberries go really good in salads. Not that I imagine the kids'll wanna eat salads much. Good thing any berry pairs well with pancakes.

[activatingcombatmode]

Yeah, Nimona was saying she wants chocolate in her pancakes already. Pretty sure we can stuff both chocolate and berries into a pancake.

[starshower]

Then let's do that for the kids. I can grab some fresh berries from the markets, and I know a place that makes chocolates, too.

[activatingcombatmode]

And I'll grab together the rest of the breakfast pickings we need. Sounds like a plan!

Thanks for the help, Tifa. I think they're going to love this.

gonna 🎀!

[starshower]

Anytime. You know I love talking recipes and food. Maybe I'll stop by to try them when you do make em.
