[As Persephone walks in through the door, the first thing she notices is the warming scent of soup - the cold clinging to her skin melting away, as she steps further in. One sunset eye takes in the spread of soup presented on the table, quietly curious about... why there is so much soup.

But her question is answered once Asura speaks, slim brows raising just slightly - surprised that Asura knew how to cook human food. But he has been here for months, so he must've had little choice to learn... And a guessing game, is it? One of them does smell a bit. Overdone.

She can make a confident guess about who made that one.

Sokie, on the other hand, has shown herself as more of a skilled cook in the time she's known the other woman and that makes it much harder to guess which is hers. But her thoughts remain hidden for now, as she gives an amused smile to Asura's challenge - glancing between both Witches for a moment, the mirth clear in her eye.]

A kiss, is it? Well, I shall try my best then.

[A kiss from either of the chefs? Or maybe even both? Truly a prize she can't resist, and now it's time to do her best to redeem this prize.]

And I will let one of the chefs decide which I should try and guess first.

[weirdnecro]

I thought it'd be the nice thing to do, since it's so cold and miserable out.

[She shrugged; it wasn't a big deal really! And she knew how to cook human food, and since she couldn't live off of emotion, and neither could the other two...and it was easy to make, and cheap too. Also, Asura wouldn't have to ask her every time "did you steal this?" because she didn't steal everything! Just. Some things, sometimes.

Not that Persie knew that.

In any case, Sokie leaned against one of the kitchen walls, Her arms comfortably folded over her stomach.]

Honestly I'd just say go for not a taste, but a sniff. That'd be much safer for all of us. Just in case.

[She motioned to Asura's...greyish bowl.]

Try that one first.

[mirshikar]

[ To Asura's credit, his poker face is astounding. Any outsider unfamiliar with the King of Summer's (lack of) skill in the culinary arts wouldn't have a clue that the necromancer in the room just totally went and offered his ...earthy mushroom and hummus soup up as first tribute.

Languid as ever and as always, Asura reclines in one of the chairs flanking the dining table, his head resting atop the open palm of his hand as he surveys Persephone through hooded eyes and a veil of lashes. It's important, that the Queen of Spring eats (and eats well), Asura thinks, because with emotion offering her (and him) no true sustenance at all, he's...

Been concerned, since Persephone's arrival in Aefenglom. Though Persephone lacks the abilities granted to her by the twist and twine of fate here, in this realm, her body is still very much that of a Flowering, and with Octeuril's overcast skies, it seems like there hasn't been a single spot of sunshine during the whole of the month.

(Is she truly all right, despite having shaken off the cold...?) ]

Smelling alone won't warm anyone up. [ His gaze flits back to Sokie, then, because!! HIS SOUP IS PERFECTLY FINE OKAY... he did taste it (for seasoning)!! And he isn't dead yet?? W o w. ]

But then, I guess it all boils down to the Queen of Spring's bravery in this blind-taste test.

[ Which route will Persephone take: scent, taste, or both? ]

[joies]

[The cold is numbing and the lack of sun is a heavy, tired weight that threatens to drag her steps - but Persephone being... well, herself, refuses to acknowledge this nor let it show. Even if the cold lingers on her longer than it should.

But the smile she gives Sokie makes it seem impossible that the cold lingers on her skin, with how warm and bright it is.]

Allow me to return the favor one day, once I'm more confident with my culinary skills. [Though through her human twin-sister, she has learned a thing or two. Not that she's.

Told Asura about her yet. A hurdle to jump when they get there!!

But oh no, Asura has presented a challenge to her, and now she must answer - glancing over the selection for but a moment, before reaching for a spoon to sample... the greyish bowl! There's some worry of how it might taste, but she's never backed down from a challenge before, so she shan't start now!

So she scoops up some of the soup, brings it to her lips and then... pauses. As she tries to decipher the taste before swallowing. It's. It's a soup alright.]

It's... an interesting taste. But it's certainly warming!

[She's trying to be nice about this, which is why she doesn't immediately point to who she thinks made this. But she still points one slim finger at Asura after a moment, a brow raised as a sunset eye twinkles with something like amusement.]

I shall take I guess that you cooked this up, Asura.

sneaks in a tag !!

[mirshikar]

Oi. You're certain of that verdict, Persephone, when you haven't tasted the others yet?

[ While there's no error in Persephone's judgement (and perhaps there'd never truly been room for her to be wrong, not when one dish stands out so starkly from the rest in all its cobbled together glory), Asura does not cede defeat, his grin and game face unfaltering as he meets the Queen's gaze with his own. ]

Maybe... [ The fingers of his freehand waltzing across the table to the bowl of borscht, he taps his talons against the rosewood (leaving a curious set of indentations behind, despite the easy nature of the gesture) as an indicator— ] Try this one, next.

[ And while she does, hopefully Sokie won't see fit to out Asura as the mastermind behind a mushroom and legume one-two combo and finisher move soup. ]

In the meantime... won't you join us, Sokie? [ And if this is, in fact, about warming Persephone through—in the end, isn't that a job best fit for two? Observing from afar just won't do. ] You look awful lonely, over there.

[weirdnecro]

She does know you.

[Sokie was amused at her figuring it out right away-and knew that it wasn't just because it was just the coloring that threw it off. There was a reason why Sokie objected to Asura actually making food in the kitchen after all.

But she didn't out Asura any more then she had, and instead raised her eyebrows at his suggestion.]

Do I?

[She smiled at him. Oh, she saw what he was doing, and beamed at him.]

How can I be lonely when I'm with two beautiful people? Maybe I'm just admiring you from afar, trying to keep a hold of my personal desires.
