It's not supposed to be spicy anyway! Focus on making it sweeter first, Kalim!

[goldencharms]

Eh? Is it really curry, then??

[aididitmyway]

Yes. Why would I call it curry if it wasn't a curry! Not everything needs to turn my mouth into a volcano!

[goldencharms]

Eh?!

That's so neat!! It's like a cousin!

[ he laughs, rip to Japan's curry. ]

[aididitmyway]

And there's nothing wrong with cousins!

But seriously, try it without the heat first. Then you can add more if you want to yours.

[goldencharms]

Oh...

[ he goes quiet, thoughtful at that suggestion. ]

[aididitmyway]

... If you want to, at least. I won't make you.

But maybe it's worth trying since it's not like the stuff you talk about?

[goldencharms]

Hmm... Maybe!

[ he can't help but be a little nervous at the thought, even though he knows it's irrational.

but he's always known his feelings about curry were irrational. but he sets that aside, ]

Anyway, don't worry, don't worry. I promise it won't be too spicy!

[aididitmyway]

... I'll just taste it as you go to make sure though, okay?

[goldencharms]

Deal! Let's go!

[ and off they go to home-- to the kitchen. where kalim will start, with zero recipe or clue.

it's fine. ]

Hmmm, let's see...

[aididitmyway]

Brown the meat, chop up the veggies and let them all cook... um... and then we can add the cubes after everything else is all cooked!

[goldencharms]

Oh, thank you!

I'll get started!!

[ and he pulls out his pen-- it's levitation time, to do multiple things at once. ]

[aididitmyway]

Show off~

[But she still takes a seat to watch the show, she's always endlessly fascinated by magic.]

[goldencharms]

It’s fun to watch though, right?? You always seem to like it, so why not??

[aididitmyway]

It reminds of this really old movie! I saw it when I was a kid once... but I don't remember the details all that well.

But I wish I could do it.

[goldencharms]

It's a lot of fun!! I never woulda thought I could do something like this when I was little...

[aididitmyway]

Sooooo... when did you find out you even had magic?

[goldencharms]

Not that long ago at all... I'm really far behind a lot of the other guys at school, honestly!

But my family hasn't had magic in aaaaaages! So, I really thought I'd never have it!

[aididitmyway]

Then how'd you figure out you had it?

[goldencharms]

Well... I wanted to try. Jamil always looked so cool with his magic! So... I thought maybe I'd try to lift a feather!

[ he looks at all the stuff that's done, slowly filtering tools to the sink to be out of the way ]

And when it did, I thought it was the wind at first!

[aididitmyway]

Did you keep trying until you knew it was you, then?

[goldencharms]

Yeah!!

[ now,,, it's time for him to start cooking! ]

My family had a huge party when we realized!!

[aididitmyway]

I mean, I can see why. The first person to be all magical and stuff in your family in a really long time? Totally worth celebrating!

[Still gonna be watching him, though, carefully, she doesn't trust him with spice.]

[goldencharms]

My mom can do magic, too... But that's different, I think!!

[ HE'S BEING CAREFUL WITH THE SPICE-- it's the sweetness she needs to watch. ]

[aididitmyway]

How's it different...?
