Cooking

Claude

  1. Claude: Doesn't a meal made by a friend always taste better?
  2. Holst: Agreed. Maybe I'll treat you to something myself next time. I'm quite the skilled cook, if I may say.

Hilda

  1. Holst: Nothing is more joyous than a friend treating me to a meal and getting to enjoy it with my beloved sister.
  2. Hilda: Right, but can we not do this whole "beloved sister" thing in front of other people? It's so embarrassing...

Balthus

  1. Balthus: Free meals always taste the best!
  2. Holst: I would pay to eat this food in a heartbeat—I can almost taste the care put into it by my companions.
