I'll put in some ingredients

[yousaytron]

Who: Keith and Yoon.
When: December 14th, backdated.
Where: The temple of Yog-Sothoth
What: A crash course in cooking.

[Not putting the recipes left behind in the wake of Saori's disappearance would be a real shame, but Keith, being not exactly well equipped with the kinds of skills to pull of some of them on his own, figures the best bet would be to pull in some assistance from someone more well-versed with this sort of task. After getting Yoon to agree to come over, the biggest issue to overcome is actually getting him into the temple. The weird, non-euclidean atmosphere, confusing scenery, eerie pulsing light... he knows that trying to navigate the grounds without having some idea of what to do is virtually impossible.

So, Keith waits outside for him. Phone in hand, just in case his guest needs extra directions, he waits... maybe not too 'patiently', but he is at least keeping himself within easy sight despite some pacing around.]

Ah, you made it...! [He calms down a bit once Yoon arrives, for what it's worth...!] Hope you didn't have any trouble finding the place.

[ Yoon waves from a little distance off even as he approaches, and jogs the rest of the way to come up in front of the temple Keith is staying at now. ]

Not at all!

[ He grins proudly. ]

I'm actually really good at finding my way around, now that I've been here awhile, but I even made a map of my own with major locations so that I can notice if things change too!

[yousaytron]

[Impressive...!]

That's gotta come in handy. [He can't imagine how much of a nightmare it would be trying to keep a record of all the locations on the Far Shore, considering how often people come and go.] If you ever want to get an updated aerial view for it, let me know.

[The offer to go flying is, as always, a standing one. But, for now,] Let's get inside.

[handsome_genius]

Keith! Really? That would be great!

[ He's beaming. The lion has more or less ceased being utterly foreign and scary, and is instead just huge and impressive. ]

Maybe after we start the cooking, while it's marinating we could fly around? You wouldn't want to eat it fresh anyway, if it's like the casseroles and stews I've made before. They're better warmed up the second time.

[yousaytron]

I figure if you guys are going to insist on keeping the offer of staying at your temple open, I don't have a problem with keeping my end of the bargain going, either.

[Still, he wasn't expecting the offer to be taken up right away! But, thinking about it, that's pretty sound logic,] Saori usually did make too much curry for us to eat at once. [By merit of it being the kind of dish you make a lot of at once and also trying to nail down a specific recipe. Curry for days.] Letting it sit for a while is probably a good plan. We can definitely use that time to take a trip out.

[handsome_genius]

Yes!

[ His hands get tucked at his side in his excitement. By the end of the day he'll be comfortable calling the Lion by its name too. ]

Saori is...?

[ Surely a temple-mate, or a friend of his goddess. Yoon starts looking into Keith's hands to see if he brought the recipe with him for Yoon to look over yet, alternately scanning the temple grounds for why Keith was worried he'd get lost. ]

[yousaytron]

[Alas, he did not think to bring the recipes out with him, he figured that'd better be suited to once they're inside where it's less chilly.]

She was the other shinki Futaba had. [His tone is... even. Deliberately so, and coupled with that 'was', it's probably easy to figure out why. Still, he doesn't particularly want to dwell on that absence right now, and so he continues.] She was trying to nail down a specific recipe, so there were... a lot of sample batches to go through.

[Not that it was a bad thing, really. A nice meal is always welcome for shinki who never actually fill up on meals. Keith stops the two of them at... not a door, not a building, but one of the large floating balls of light hovering close to the ground.]

Here, this one should get us inside.

[Yeah. A normal way to enter a temple.]
