5th Spell: [Video/Action for Breeding Centre]

[dressofheaven]

[It's late at night. The lights are dim, and Ilya is nestled up against her loyal Houndoom. Cerberus is curled around her, head in her lap, and she absently scratches the dog's ears as she stares into the gear for a few moments silently. She opens her mouth, closes it again, frowns in thought, and then finally opens it again, though she's speaking pretty softly.]

So... did anyone do anything for Mother's Day today? Even if your mother isn't here?

... Actually, especially then.

[She stares at the gear with a blank expression for a few moments, then sighs and turns it off. The particularly observant might notice a little bit of wetness in her right eye as she does so.]

[ but it's a start. he's never quite sure how to approach these kinds of posts. but if he can offer a distraction for a bit maybe that can help. ] I didn't manage to reproduce it very well.

All the things they manage to do, it's pretty amazing.

[dressofheaven]

Mmmm, she was amazing.

[Her face falls a little at "was", and she goes silent for a bit, wringing her hands and shaking a little. But she forces it away.]

I can't cook at all either. I guess I take after her.

[She laughs, feebly and mostly forced.]

I'm sorry. [ he says quietly, not really sure what else to say to that. ]

It's something that can be learned. I said I didn't do well but that was because I didn't really have the right ingredients. If you wanted to learn I'm sure you could.

[dressofheaven]

Mmmm, it's fine. I can usually find ways around it.

[She knows that's not what he's apologizing for, but it's easier for her to just skirt around the real issue.]

I guess I could try. My maids and Shirou always did it back home, I never really thought about learning myself. But I wouldn't mind giving it a chance once or twice...

[ if she doesn't want to talk about it he won't pry. it seems something too personal and painful for him to really be able to say anything. ]

If you follow recipes it's not difficult. It's kind of nice, the feeling of eating your own food or making food for your friends.

They do have those recipes that come out in the news every couple of weeks... Maybe I'll try the next one. I know someone who will eat it even if it turns out horribly, so it won't go to waste.

[Ilya... Ilya don't implicitly threaten Saber's well-being like that.]

The ones there would be a good start, they're pretty simple and they're tasty too.

[dressofheaven]

Mmm! I'll try one or two of those out then! Maybe the next one they show.
