[IC] A Whole New World

[KatherinWinter]

"Thank you I will put some on later. Fish sounds lovely." Zack went over to the fridge and sorted through the items in the fridge until he found the fish. He set it on the table. He wasn't sure what she would do with it. "What else?"

[Soul Hunter]

"Lets see can you cut vegetables?' she asked him "If so can you start on them while I sort the fish out" she asked him as she got to work preparing the fish for them both to bake in the oven with salt. She wrapped it up in tin foil and put it on a tray before she set the timer and then put it in the oven for 20 minutes to cook on high.

[KatherinWinter]

Zack looked at the vegetables. He smiled please that he could help her with making this meal. He took the knife and carefully peeled the potatoes. One he peeled them he carefully diced them up into little pieces. Then he repeated his actions with the carrots.

[Soul Hunter]

Once he'd finished cutting up the vegetables she put hem in the pot to boil for a little bit at the same time she kept an eye on the fish to make sure it was cooked well enough. She kissed his cheek gently to thank him for helping out. "We got most of it down quicker thanks to you helping out"she smiled.

[KatherinWinter]

Zack smiled happily when she kissed his cheek. He took it as a sign that he was making head way in gaining her trust. "I am happy that I could help in some small way. Do you sell your painting? Give them as gift? What do you do with the ones you don't keep?"

[Soul Hunter]

"I sell a few yes but they're usually ones I'm doing for a little extra money anyway" she said to him "some I do give to people as gifts but then I don't have many people I can give them to as gifts" she said thinking "most of them are still here but I do have a book that has smaller paintings in and i need to get myself a new one at some point as well"

[KatherinWinter]

"Why do you put them into a book? What kind of book?" Zack found it interesting that most of her painting were here. That gave him an idea for something he could do for her. Maybe. Just because he thought she needed it didnt mean that she really did. "Do you have many paintings?"

[Soul Hunter]

'So I can have a few more and it takes p less space, but they're face smaller paintings or drawings" she explained and moved to go get the book "I'll show you it a little later, don't want it to get messed up when we're eating" she said and put on an oven glove before taking the fish out an then unwrapping it and checking on the vegetables "Can you get the water out from the pot for me, hold the lid on and the water should pour out front he holes" she said to him.

[KatherinWinter]

Zack was eager to see this book of her art. He wanted to know if she needed what he wanted to give her. He didn't know how he would get it if she did, but he would figuypre out something. At her question Zack carefully picked up the pot. He held the lid the way she advised her to do and then careful tipped the pan so that the pan drained out. When the water was drained he looked to her. "now what?"

[Soul Hunter]

"Well we need to put it on the plate with the fish" she said carefully moving the fish onto their plates before taking the pot off of him and putting an equal share on each plate before getting some drinks "want juice, water or milk?" she asked him before pouring herself some juice and smiled a little before moving the plates to the table and after he'd told her what drink he wanted she moved them over as well.

[KatherinWinter]

"Juice please." zack replied as he watched her. He suddenly wished that he could draw or paint. His art couldn't capture her in motion. She moved beautifully. He wondered if the men of this world knew how lucky they were to have creature like her.

[Soul Hunter]

She poured out a second glass of juice for him and then sat down to eat dinner with him "Well eat up" she said once he'd sat down and began to eat her own quite happily before sipping her drink "I have some ice-cream we can have for dessert afterwards as well, think it's chocolate flavour"

[KatherinWinter]

Zack dug into the meal. It was wonderful. "You are a very good cook." he complimented her. He thought as about the things that he learned since he had crashed to the planet. Things had goon much different then he had thought they were. This wasn't the planet hadn't been his original destination, but he was glad that this is where he had landed. He was even gladder that he landed so close to her. "Look forward to trying it."

[Soul Hunter]

She smiled and nodded :Glad you are looking forward to it" she smiled and ate hers quite happily "and thanks, no one usually compliments my cooking since it's rather simple really" she said as she finished her fish off and started n the vegetables. "Also I'm glad you can walk around again" she nodded "Means you can do a lot more stuff, hmm, why don't we try baking tomorrow, we can make some cakes together that should be fun"

[KatherinWinter]

"I am glad that it is healing as well. It isn't pleasant not being able to do anything but rest. I have never baked. My mother refused to allow her sons to back. She said cooking was ok becouse we needed it to survive, but baking wasnt about survival it was about pleasure so we didn't need to know how to do it." Zack explained. "I would love to try it though."

[Soul Hunter]

"Well I can show you tomorrow" she smiled and enjoyed the rest of her dinner before asking him to get some bowls out for her and then began to scoop out the ice-cream "It's cold so don't get surprised ok?" she warned him so he wouldn't get shocked. "But it's really nice and there are different flavours too" she smiled at him and handed him a bowl of ice-cream and a spoon to eat it with.

[KatherinWinter]

Zack excepted the bowl. He studied the dark creamy confection in the bowl. He watched her eat it before he made his attempt. Once he saw how she eat the ice cream he copied her actions. Despite her warning he was surprised by the cold sensation that filled his mouth. "Woo your right it is cold. But it tastes nice thought."

[Soul Hunter]

"I did warn you" she laughed as she sat down to eat her share quite contently. "Hmm, I might need to get some more soon, want to come with me to the supermarket in a few days?" she asked, we'll do some baking tomorrow anyway since I have the ingredients here already" she smiled and soon enough finished off her bowl of ice-cream adnlicked her lips.

[KatherinWinter]

"Yes you did. I am glad that you did. We do not have anything this cold on my planet. I would love to see your supermarket." Zack told her as he eat his ice cream. "What are you thinking about baking."

[Soul Hunter]

"well, thinking about doing something simple so a sponge cake would be a good one to do" she said to him "and really, you don't well must be completely new to you then" she said smiling and glad he seemed to enjoy it.
