[Video] Kazoo 1

[ayao]

[Since he enjoys cooking, he can be found in the kitchen, following through on the chore set for his team. While he waits on various ingredients to thaw, he addresses the train as a whole:]

To those who are new to our ranks, welcome. To those who have lost loved ones, I hope my soup will bring you some comfort.

[His hands are light and gentle as he adds broth into a pot. He is also good with a knife. A little too good.]

My name is Meng Yao and I am happy to keep you company if you feel lonely. I know many stories that could, for a time, distract you from your pain.

[ Xichen is not exactly allowed to cook, beyond tea and boiling rice, but he can chop and slice and dice with ease, hence he is in the kitchen to help.

And... for the first time since he has been on the train, he has his forehead ribbon on. Since he finally has it. Even with the orange hoodie - he sometimes wears what his roommate weaves, but he is afraid she may be overworked so sometimes changes to the assigned clothes - it makes him look slightly more like himself.

Of course, he is (again) almost as pale as the ribbon.

Still, he is there, rather than avoiding almost anyone in his cabin. Or avoiding Meng Yao in particular. ]

That is a kind offer.

[ Not surprised or questioning him, merely commenting on a fact. As he helps. ]

[he peers in, wearing an apron as this is his time of the evening to cook dinner and help out in the kitchen]

Hello, you're cooking? Mind if I join you? I can help by boiling and making rice.

[Interested as she is, Sonya's in the middle of cleaning one of the carriages, so she can't really join him in the kitchen just yet.] Are we allowed to ask what's in the soup, or is that a family secret?

[Because some people could be especially touchy in that regard.]

[Lea's there helping with lunch anyway, so it's as good a chance as any to catch up with Meng Yao. Especially since he's made a fair amount of soup himself since arriving on the train; it's easy enough to fall into a familiar rhythm of preparing ingredients, allowing him to pay more attention to the conversation.]

Soup's a good idea. Especially on platform day; not only is it comforting, but platform days are hectic in general for just about everyone. Soup is something you kinda have to slow down to eat.

[Yugi hadn't really lost anyone he was particularly close to, but he knew someone who had.]

Is it okay to ask if I could maybe take some to someone who might need it? Or at least teach me how to make food that is comforting anyway?
