[Hi, Johto. Hve you been enjoying your...odd weekend? Hopefully so, because it's about to get weirder. Enjoy your view of Lightning hunched over a stove in the Cherrygrove Pokémon Center, stirring something in a pot. It's an odd sight, both with her hair twisted up into a messy bun and the fact that she's...actually cooking. Anyone who knows her knows that's not a good sign. Especially when she's starting to look a little bit frazzled.]
No, no, no...come on. Don't you dare burn.
[Yes, she's talking to her pot of...something. Unfortunately, this doesn't help her with the cooking and it's with a rather frustrated sound that she takes that pot off the stove, camera tracking her movements while she places it in the sink before scrubbing her face, leaving smears of chocolate down her cheeks as she takes a breath to regain her composure. Is she giving up? Not on your life.
She's just turning back to the counter, where there's enough ingredients for one more try along with a recipe book she's looking back at.]
You could always help, you know.
[A startled "Pika!" and...end feed. Spark still enjoys being Camera-chu, it seems.]

Date: 2012-02-14 04:19 am (UTC)[She's ignoring the dancing, all right. Focusing on her recipe is the only thing on her mind.]

Date: 2012-02-14 04:22 am (UTC)[...Focusing. Haha.]

Date: 2012-02-14 04:28 am (UTC)--he pauses in the center kitchen door, slightly alarmed by the scent of burning. As he suspected, he finds Lightning there, unhappily glowering at a pot of...something in the sink.]
Is that...chocolate?
action;
Date: 2012-02-14 04:34 am (UTC)It's supposed to be. Not that it's working the way I'd planned.
[Case in point, the recipe book Spark is pawing through. The one she'd settled on shows homemade chocolate hearts on a plate, covered in powdered sugar. Yep, Leon. She'd been trying to make those pretty things.]
action;
Date: 2012-02-16 04:13 pm (UTC)[Dropping his bag, he moves over to her. Her face is easily cradled in his hands, as he examines the spackle of chocolate she's left behind. Without pause or hesitation, he bends and kisses it away, mouth, lips, tongue wiping her clean again. The taste, though slightly burnt, is effective.
When he pulls back, his expression is intense as ever, but there's the edge of a smile on his face. He gives the recipe book a glance.]
You didn't have to go through that much trouble. Thank you. [A beat.] For thinking of me.

Date: 2012-02-14 05:54 am (UTC)Chocolate's pretty tough to get right, at least for me. Maybe we could both tackle it?
[video]
Date: 2012-02-14 06:31 am (UTC)If you don't mind the smell of burnt chocolate, sure. It'll take a while to clear that out.
[video]
Date: 2012-02-14 07:40 am (UTC)Course I don't mind, I got pretty used to it last year. But Minnie gave me some pointers that'll help this time.

Date: 2012-02-14 06:35 am (UTC)[Said in a distracted tone: she's pretty busy trying again, and therefore doesn't really care about the peanut gallery seeing her choice of fancy, homemade chocolate. Probably not the best thing to start her cooking career with, though.]
video;
Date: 2012-02-14 06:37 am (UTC)[ peering around, peering around...gosh, these feeds are so small. he'll blame the funky vibes for making him so talkative later. ]
Have you got a cooking thermometer there?

[video?]
Date: 2012-02-15 03:30 am (UTC)It's fine. I'll figure it out.
[Hopefully before the day ends, but still.]
[video] yes, sorry!
Date: 2012-02-16 09:35 pm (UTC)[Take it as a compliment - he's a blunt kind of guy, but always sincere.]
[video] no worries~

Light?
[... What was she making? The smell of burnt sugar was lingering now. Mmmm sweets!]
Need a hand?

Date: 2012-02-15 08:37 am (UTC)I'd appreciate it. It's not as easy as Serah made it look.

You've got a little...

Date: 2012-02-15 08:27 pm (UTC)[A thoughtful pause. Everyone seems to be in such good spirits and it looked like a holiday was coming, but Aqua's got no time for romance and lovey-dovey things.
...Even if normally she loves chocolate.]
What kind of recipe are you using?
video;
Date: 2012-02-16 05:06 am (UTC)[Said as she focuses on her recipe, determined to get it right this time or die trying. ...You know. Minus the actual dying bits.
As for the recipe itself, Lightning shifts so the gear can show the pages she's looking at. It's a pretty fancy recipe, what with the heart shaped chocolates covered in powdered sugar. It's probably not the best thing to start with, but she's doing it. At least it only calls for basic ingredients?]
The only one I could find. They didn't have much else to work with.
