[ she laughs ] I've never even heard of either of those.

[ohthehumanities]

[He looks surprised for a minute, before he remembers that they come from very different worlds.]

They're both good. Tahchin is made with rice and meat--usually fowl or fish that's been marinated in a yogurt sauce. When you bake it, the outside of the rice gets crispy, but the meat doesn't dry out. Fatteh's just bread with a certain type of beans and yogurt sauce--you can do whatever you want with it, really. It's one of my favorite dishes.

[camena]

Sounds more exciting than another hamburger.

Man, they should really give us a grocery store and kitchens. Think about how many cool foods I could be trying from everyone else's worlds!

[ohthehumanities]

I know, it's a shame. I haven't even seen anything in the stores we could use. [He wouldn't have thought to buy the stove even if he could have because he doesn't know what modern stoves are]

[camena]

If they're ever selling cooking supplies and you snatch them up, I'll teach you to use them in return for food.

[ohthehumanities]

Done! [He is far too excited about studying stove components]

[camena]

[ hehe ]

Buuut, back to right now. You hungry?

[ohthehumanities]

For anything but a milkshake.

[camena]

Then lets grab lunch. My treat.

As long as you pick something free.

[ohthehumanities]

Alright, I won't argue with that.

[He is absolutely willing to take advantage of free food tbh. It's their compensation for emotional distress.]

I haven't actually tried the food at the new restaurant--as long as we don't pay for it, it should be fine, right?

[camena]

Yeah. It's good—it's more burgers like at McDonald's. But they're, like, diner burgers, not fast-food burgers. So they're better.

[ohthehumanities]

It's like being in Mondstadt, but not as good.

[camena]

Oh, they have burgers in Mondstadt?

[ohthehumanities]

No, not quite like this. But it's the closest thing we have to the foods I've seen here--they have dishes like pancakes. And bolognese--I've never tried it, but it looks similar to that "spaghetti" dish.

[Sometimes your country is SWANA inspired]

[camena]

Huh. That's kind of interesting—that there are some foods I recognize in your world and some that I don't.

... Although I'm sure there are lots of foods in my own world I've never heard of, so... Maybe not.

[ohthehumanities]

[Hilariously the foods he mentioned are real things, which I learned by complete accident while googling to double-check the spelling]

Hah, very true. I could hardly rattle off every single type of Snezhnayan cuisine. [He mostly knows about Mondstadt food because it suits his palette anyway] I wouldn't say I'm that picky, but it would be nice to have something a little more familiar, even just a good stew.

[camena]

[ LOL yeah i googled them too but was like... no she wouldn't know these. ]

... It's hard not to feel homesick for the little stuff.

[ohthehumanities]

[Fair and valid]

It is. [He sighs.] I can't complain too much about this area, though.

[It has a library and he's a nerd... it's not a studio or workshop but it'll do...]

[camena]

Yeah, it's probably my favorite so far.

Now I don't have to worry about my roots growing in. [ that was not a high priority, but, ]

[ohthehumanities]

He looks surprised]

[camena]

[ sir, ]

Um. What?

[ohthehumanities]

I just didn't realize it wasn't your normal color.

[Sometimes colorful hair is normal where you live]

[camena]

Nnnnope. That's why my eyebrows are brown?

[ohthehumanities]

Yes, that makes sense. [Sometimes you just don't question hair color things.] Well, regardless, we might as well take advantage of what we've got, especially since it's free.

[camena]

[ hah. ]

Ever thought about dyeing your hair?
