Her fingers pause as she slowly sets the bowl aside.
"That was our agreement."

She happily hums, blushing a bit as the forerunner... pets her?
"C-Can I have that kiss now?"
"𝖨'𝗆 𝗇𝗈 𝗈𝗇𝖾 𝗌𝗉𝖾𝖼𝗂𝖺𝗅..."
Her fingers settle across the top of Caroline's head, gently digging in as they flex in softly circles.
"I always appreciate the efforts of others, regardless of the outcome."
𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐉𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥
She hugs Lumi's leg.
"Thanks... it's nice to be appreciated~"
"𝖨'𝗆 𝗇𝗈 𝗈𝗇𝖾 𝗌𝗉𝖾𝖼𝗂𝖺𝗅..."
"Aya," she affirms with a small lift of her lips.
"You should take pride in your work."
𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐉𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥
She giggles and claps happily.
"You really think so?!"
"𝖨'𝗆 𝗇𝗈 𝗈𝗇𝖾 𝗌𝗉𝖾𝖼𝗂𝖺𝗅..."
Accepting the bowl, she offers a soft thanks before tasting some.
Rich notes of sweetness, countered by a dash of sharp yet pungent cheese that's all swept up in a savoury liquid. It is a bold dish, and while she has had such things before they are not so common anymore.
"It is lovely."
𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐉𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥
She pours a large bowl and holds it up for Lumi.
"I hope you like it!"
"𝖨'𝗆 𝗇𝗈 𝗈𝗇𝖾 𝗌𝗉𝖾𝖼𝗂𝖺𝗅..."
Folding away her work, she rises to her feet. A small smile touches her eyes as she slips over into the kitchen.
"It does smell quite delectable."
𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐉𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥
"Hmm, makes sense..."
A few more minutes later and she beams.
"It's done!"
"𝖨'𝗆 𝗇𝗈 𝗈𝗇𝖾 𝗌𝗉𝖾𝖼𝗂𝖺𝗅..."
Her attention has returned to her work even as the note of curiosity makes itself known. She offers it time to bloom before interjecting herself.
"Where possible I avoid the consumption of others."
𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐉𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥
“Yes ma’am!”
She makes the note for the substitute, curious as to why but working quietly.
"𝖨'𝗆 𝗇𝗈 𝗈𝗇𝖾 𝗌𝗉𝖾𝖼𝗂𝖺𝗅..."
"A rather old dish for your people..."
With a near appreciative hum she tilts her head. The noise trails off as she glances up from her work.
"If it is intended to be suitable I would recommend using an appropriate substitute for the meat stock. Artificial is acceptable."
𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐉𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥
"French Onion..."
Quietly working, occasionally stealing a glance at Lumi and smiling.
"𝖨'𝗆 𝗇𝗈 𝗈𝗇𝖾 𝗌𝗉𝖾𝖼𝗂𝖺𝗅..."
An amused smile tugs slightly at her features, but she remains lounging in her armchair.
"What type of soup might this be?"
𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐉𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥
She's cute as she works, wearing an apron that says 'kiss the cook'
"𝖨'𝗆 𝗇𝗈 𝗈𝗇𝖾 𝗌𝗉𝖾𝖼𝗂𝖺𝗅..."
Sitting back with a small screen of hardlight, Luminous continues her work as she occasionally glances over.
𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐉𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥
She does a playful salute before starting on the soup.
"𝖨'𝗆 𝗇𝗈 𝗈𝗇𝖾 𝗌𝗉𝖾𝖼𝗂𝖺𝗅..."
"Wonderful, I do rather enjoy your little creations."
𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐉𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥
“Yes ma’am!”
"𝖨'𝗆 𝗇𝗈 𝗈𝗇𝖾 𝗌𝗉𝖾𝖼𝗂𝖺𝗅..."
Were you not making soup earlier? Such a task could count...
