Lan Zhan, be careful, or I may fall in love with you all over again. then my accomplishments will twice yours!!

she'd advise me to use more spices than I think you'd want, love. besides, she's got her hands full with her son. I do want to try making lotus soup for you sometime, though, if you don't mind being experimented on!

[quietroom]

I would not object.

I am willing to be your taste-tester for this experiment. I have enjoyed the other lotus dishes you prepared.

[atypical]

some day, I'll make a curry for you that isn't too overwhelming. I know you'll like it, Lan Zhan, you just need to keep an open mind! and trust me not to start any other fires, it's been a long time since the last one

[quietroom]

We will buy a pan specifically for your curry attempts. I do not wish to replace our good pans again.

[atypical]

Lan Zhan, my darling, my beloved, my soulmate, have faith!!

[quietroom]

You should have the freedom to experiment without worrying about the state of the pans.

[atypical]

does this mean you'll let me try to make homemade dragon's beard?!

[quietroom]

No. Absolutely not. We will be stuck cleaning sugar off every surface in the house.

[atypical]

I won't make that much of a mess! there are tutorials online, I just need to cook sugar in a pan that you're not too attached to, and I bet the rest is easy!!

[quietroom]

The last time you said something was easy, we ended up replacing the rugs in the living room and the hall.

[atypical]

Lan Zhan, you told me you had been wanting to replace them anyways...

[quietroom]

Ah. The colors were not suitable for our furniture. But I could have waited.

[atypical]

feng shui to the rescue, huh?

what if we remove all of the precious items in the kitchen and I promise to only try making candy under supervision?

[quietroom]

That is acceptable. Under supervision.

[atypical]

yes! what colors should we make, Lan Zhan? which flavor is your favorite??

[quietroom]

Perhaps try the traditional recipe first, then look at other flavors and colors.

[atypical]

my voice of reason, as always. very well, Lan Zhan, we'll try it with plain sugar first. I'm sure it'll still be delicious and fun! we can pull the strands together, imagine the romance~

[quietroom]

Yes, pulling spun sugar strands is romantic.

[atypical]

is that sarcasm I read? have you never watched Ghost?!

[quietroom]

Ghost?

[atypical]

you know, the movie! with Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore

[quietroom]

I am unfamiliar.

[atypical]

Lan Zhan, we should watch it! you'll never look at pottery the same way again 哈哈哈

[quietroom]

have no desire to change my views on pottery.

[atypical]

it's a joke, babe. I just mean that there's a very emotional part of the movie that involves pottery! and we can recreate it with the dragon's beard
