Okay, I'm getting a bit tired of coming into the kitchens in the dorms and running into the scent of charred food. So I'm doing something. I'm offering cooking lessons for people still in the dorms. Or I will if there is suitable interest.

I can definitely get suggestions for what people want to learn to cook, so I will also take requests for recipes.

What is there you don't know? [ He could be one of those people that brags about knowledge they don't have but he hasn't really struck her as the type. She's impressed and more than a little curious. ]

Quite a few things. My dad was a chef. I picked up his skills along the way.

[ Huh. That explains why he might be so bothered by burned food enough to offer lessons. ]

You could solve your problem by just visiting one of the other kitchens. Third floor is usually fine and it'd probably end up being the same amount of work as trying to teach. [ Not when you consider things in the long term, Heather. ]

It's bad for a stove to have things happen to them like water boiling over. I'm trying to help. Which seems to be pointless.

Who're you trying to help here? Them, the stove, or yourself? [ She's mostly joking. She'd also argue the pointlessness of it but then she'd have to admit she didn't know that about stoves. ]

[helpdesk_hero]

All of the above. Just like when I was teaching you mixed drinks. It helped all of us.

[What, is it wrong for him to be helpful? And maybe try and find some more company?]

[ She laughs beneath her breath. The hero Dualis didn't know it desperately needed. ]

I'll make sure to let the stove know to send you its gratitude. [ Not her customers, though. No, may they forever be in the dark that her knowledge extends beyond just easy to serve beer. ]

[helpdesk_hero]

[It takes all kinds, Heather.]

I'm sure stomachs would send me the gratitude too. I will win the heart of this city through its stomach? Ah, maybe that's the angle that people should be taking.

Well, I heard it works to catch a man so I guess it could work for a city? I wouldn't encourage others to pursue it, though, not if you want to save the stoves.

Yeah, most people don't clean them down afterward. Still, it's a nice thing to be able to do. Cook for yourself, for those you care about. It's...

It's actually sorta peaceful.

[She even gets a warm smile at that observation. More for himself and some unshared memory.]

[ Her lips twitch upward. Everyone has those things that help ground them. ]

I, uh, wouldn't really know, cooking isn't my thing, but I bet that pleases the people you care about. [ It's really never not nice to partake in something that brings someone else joy. ] Especially if you're actually good.

[Well, he can prove quality easily enough.]

Well, come down to the third floor kitchen. I'm doing margarita chicken. You can have some, on the house.
