Was? [She's not sure if she should take him seriously, but she may as well use this time to get to know him. She's going to open the fridge though and pull out a bowl of dough. Huh. Did she know he was going to say spaghetti, or was it just in there? Well anyway!]
The consistency of crushed tomatoes stews better for the sauce. [This is said even while she's busy looking for a rolling pin to flatten their dough.]
I don't really know. It just sort of happened, I guess? [There's a grin.] But I like it and I've been doing it for a while. It's hard to imagine doing anything else by now. With cooking, there's always something new to learn. And with the last events the Master's hosted have given me time and opportunities to learn, too.
No, it's okay! I almost have it....[She's stretching hard to try and reach both a rolling pin and pasta cutter. Please help.] The events the Master holds tend to vary. This is the biggest group of guests we've seen for a while...maybe even ever. But then again there's always a surprise or two.
[Thanks Phoenix. She grins a little when he grabs the pasta cutter and gestures for him to put it on the counter while she finally grabs a rolling pin.]
Ruining surprises isn't something I like to do, Mr. Wright. [But she's curious.] What did they say about Master Blue?
[She laughs but it's hard to say what she's laughing at. Hm!]
Sounds like you've been talking to Plum. [Give her a second to wash her hands before she begins rolling out the dough, procuring a different rolling pin and a glob of dough for Phoenix to do the same. Clean your hands, hobo.] But she's right! Master Blue is very sentimental and tends to be...curious, I guess? The Master doesn't always know how to speak to people though and sometimes underestimates how busy these events can be.
She does! She observes a lot even if she doesn't always talk to our guests. [Peach loves her sister?? Even if Plum isn't always as enthusiastic about her, rip.]
It's not really about having trouble communicating. Sometimes I think the Master's a little shy is all. Ever since we started working here though we've been able to help out and get to know guests on Master Blue's behalf instead.
Be nicer then. [That definitely sounds fake. Also goddamnit Sipp FINE I'll ask...]
Well...we were born. [Phoenix asking how they all met means Peach can be a little shit about the fact that they're sisters even if that's not the only question he's asking.]
[But she's suddenly focused on the question about Plum instead.] If you mean something besides not wrecking the house...? [She ponders.] Plum likes keeping to herself, so maybe just making sure to pick up after yourself and stuff. She might like you more then.
You asked how we all met, sir. My sisters and I obviously met at birth, and we've worked for Master Blue for many years. It feels like we've known the Master forever but I think we've lost track how many years it's really been.
[But she makes a face.] If you must give her something, maybe some tea? Or I can teach you how to bake a strawberry rhubarb pie.

i gotta...
Well you're very punctual at least. That's a good start. Did you think about what sort of meal we should make today?
no subject
I gave it a lot of thought.....
[ dramatic drum roll. ]
Spaghetti.
no subject
Spaghetti, huh? [Hm...] There would be plenty to feed people...and it's easy! Ever used a pasta cutter before?
[Binch she's going to make you cook from scratch.]
no subject
[ he may or may not be useless at cooking but he will try ]
no subject
Why didn't you?
no subject
[ be is waiting for instructions ]
It was actually a boat rental shop... not much of a pasta place.
I did like the sound of "Phoenix noodles", though.
no subject
[And while he does that:] What did boats have to do with noodles?
no subject
Not much, but it is a convenient cover story. How about you? How'd you get into the chef business?
no subject

no subject
[ that's why she's the expert!! upon depositing the cans, he drifts over to where she is. ] Need me to reach something?
[ there's also a thoughtful little pause ] Were they all like this? No variety?
no subject
no subject
I guess telling me about the other events would ruin the surprise, no?
I am curious as to what type of boss they are. Your sister had a few things to say about that.
no subject
Ruining surprises isn't something I like to do, Mr. Wright. [But she's curious.] What did they say about Master Blue?
no subject
[ gopher phoenix does as instructed. ]
That they are a sentimental fool, among other things. We haven't had the pleasure of meeting, so I can't say how accurate or not it is.
no subject

no subject
Got it in one. She's got lots of opinions.
[ phoenix probably needs a little nudge to clean his hands, but he goes to do it. ]
I'd say they've got their hands full with this lot, especially if they have troubles communicating.
no subject
It's not really about having trouble communicating. Sometimes I think the Master's a little shy is all. Ever since we started working here though we've been able to help out and get to know guests on Master Blue's behalf instead.
no subject
[ being shy is also like having trouble communicating!!! ]
Huh. How'd Master Blue hire you if they're shy? Must have taken a lot of courage to pull off a job interview.
no subject
[Rolling dough, etc etc...]
Master Blue already knew we'd be perfect for our jobs so there wasn't really an interview or anything. We were a good match for each other.
no subject
[ sounds fake. despite his laidback hoboness, he really gets into pounding out the dough....... play pl vs aa ty. ]
How'd you all meet?
no subject
Well...we were born. [Phoenix asking how they all met means Peach can be a little shit about the fact that they're sisters even if that's not the only question he's asking.]
no subject
[ since plum won't let him be her assistant!! ]
Huh. Knew Master Blue since birth, then?
no subject
[But she's suddenly focused on the question about Plum instead.] If you mean something besides not wrecking the house...? [She ponders.] Plum likes keeping to herself, so maybe just making sure to pick up after yourself and stuff. She might like you more then.
no subject
[ not letting this go. ]
Hmm. Can't promise that. Maybe something else?
no subject
[But she makes a face.] If you must give her something, maybe some tea? Or I can teach you how to bake a strawberry rhubarb pie.
