Carol leans forward too, giving Lumi a sweet kiss.

The floor moves to bring them nearly level, and Luminous slowly leans forward.

She blushes and holds up her hands.

"๐จ'๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐พ ๐๐๐พ๐ผ๐๐บ๐

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

๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ข๐๐๐ฅ
She happily hums, blushing a bit as the forerunner... pets her?
"C-Can I have that kiss now?"
18d
"๐จ'๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐พ ๐๐๐พ๐ผ๐๐บ๐
..."
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."

She hugs Lumi's leg.
"Thanks... it's nice to be appreciated~"

"Aya," she affirms with a small lift of her lips.
"You should take pride in your work."

She giggles and claps happily.
"You really think so?!"

"๐จ'๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐พ ๐๐๐พ๐ผ๐๐บ๐
..."
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."

๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ข๐๐๐ฅ
She pours a large bowl and holds it up for Lumi.
"I hope you like it!"
1mo
"๐จ'๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐พ ๐๐๐พ๐ผ๐๐บ๐
..."
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."

๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ข๐๐๐ฅ
"Hmm, makes sense..."
A few more minutes later and she beams.
"It's done!"
1mo
"๐จ'๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐พ ๐๐๐พ๐ผ๐๐บ๐
..."
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."
1mo
๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ข๐๐๐ฅ
โYes maโam!โ
She makes the note for the substitute, curious as to why but working quietly.
1mo
"๐จ'๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐พ ๐๐๐พ๐ผ๐๐บ๐
..."
"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."

"French Onion..."
Quietly working, occasionally stealing a glance at Lumi and smiling.
1mo
"๐จ'๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐พ ๐๐๐พ๐ผ๐๐บ๐
..."
An amused smile tugs slightly at her features, but she remains lounging in her armchair.
"What type of soup might this be?"
1mo
๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ข๐๐๐ฅ
She's cute as she works, wearing an apron that says 'kiss the cook'
1mo
"๐จ'๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐พ ๐๐๐พ๐ผ๐๐บ๐
..."
Sitting back with a small screen of hardlight, Luminous continues her work as she occasionally glances over.
1mo
๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ข๐๐๐ฅ
She does a playful salute before starting on the soup.
1mo
"๐จ'๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐พ ๐๐๐พ๐ผ๐๐บ๐
..."
"Wonderful, I do rather enjoy your little creations."
1mo

Were you not making soup earlier? Such a task could count...
1mo
๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ข๐๐๐ฅ
Ummm... d-do I have to?
1mo
"๐จ'๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐พ ๐๐๐พ๐ผ๐๐บ๐

1mo
Hm?
Have you earned one?
๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ข๐๐๐ฅ
Can we kiss?~
