[After an interesting conversation a while back, Fuuka couldn't help but wonder a few things. While she was new at being a trainer, she didn't want to seem like a heavy to her fellow friends. Sure, she was still getting use to making and creating new things but the fact was? It was going to take her some time.

As Fuuka was wandering around the city, she simply stared at the pieces of chicken she created. While she knew better than to cook anything, if she wanted to get any better, she had to listen to other people. Even if those harsh words were going to hurt her.

With a heavy gulp in her throat, she gave a nervous chuckle as she prepared herself for the worst]

U-Um...excuse me, do you think you can try this? I want to hear what you think about it?

Oh!

[Lucas is wandering through the city today with a fluffy piece of cotton attached to his head; he looks up when he's addressed.]

Hi. Miss... Fuuka, right?

[He remembers speaking to her at the Sanctuary discussions.]

Sure thing! I'd be happy to.

Ah, it's Lucas right? It's nice to meet you again!

[She said before staring at said piece of cotton attached to his head. While she might address it later, there were more important things to discuss!

As she stared down at her food before looking back at the boy. Does she dare...?]

U-Um, go right ahead! I must warn you though, it might still be pretty hot! [And probably destroy your taste buds]

Oh, that's alright. I'll be careful!

[Lucas cheerfully reaches for the piece of food -- and belatedly realizes a moment or two later that he has no idea what it is.]

This is...

[...Hm.]

Meat!

[That seems like a safe bet.]

I don't usually eat meat; I'm sure it's really nice...!

[With that, she just stared at the young boy as she felt sweat dropping down her back. While her Pokemon picked up on her uneasiness, the Espurr just continued to pat her back in an attempt to calm her down]

Y-Yes, it is! But if you don't eat meat, you don't have to! I'm not going to force you to, Lucas! It might upset your stomach!

[She's giving you a chance to run away! Take it while you can!!]

Oh, no, it's alright. You worked hard on this, right?

[Lucas is far too nice to do anything of the sort. As the cotton fluff shifts to reveal curious eyes, Lucas will reach out for a piece.

Here goes nothing! Down the hatch. How does it taste?]

[And somewhere, somehow, there was a part of Fuuka that was screaming to not let the young boy get anywhere near her cooking! Which was why as soon as he ate it?

There was nothing but silence. As she stared at him with wide eyes and an open mouth, she had no idea how he would respond. Instead, all she could do was just watch.

While she knew it probably would have been bad, her cooking couldn't have been that bad right...?]

[Chomp.

Munch munch munch. Swallow. ..............Hm.]

It's good!

[It's not really that good. It's pretty rubbery and he's not quite sure what it's supposed to be still..... but Fuuka, thankfully, has stumbled upon like company. Lucas's attempts at baking result in indigestible messes 100% of the time and so his standards are low.]

I like the... spices!

[hopefully there were spices]

[Again, Fuuka and her Pokemon just stared at him with shock. He was okay?? He wasn't sick or kneel over from the pain in his stomach?? He was fine and nothing happened to him??]

A-Ah...well, I'm glad that you like it Lucas! For a moment, I thought that you would have gotten yourself sick from eating it!

[Can he hear how nervous she sounded right now?]

But really, are you sure you're okay though?

Sick? What do you mean?

[did you feed him food you knew was terrible, fuuka]

Has that happened before? ...Should I expect it to happen?

[Is he going to need to perch on the toilet later]

W-Well, I wasn't sure if the food might be good or not and...I was worried if you might have gotten a bad stomach ache.

[Or rather, she knew it might be bad but...you know, just in case! Still she gave a mumble before she shook her head]

No, I don't think so. If nothing has happened now, I think you'll be okay, Lucas. Just don't worry about it okay?

[Ahahaha..ha..ha...haaaaa...]

[...

Lucas thinks it might be a good idea to take some pills for indigestion in advance, just in case.]

Erm.

I... see. Well, it hasn't! Not yet, anyway. ...See, you should be more confident!

[That...didn't really help Fuuka all that much. If anything, it made more scared even more!]

I suppose but it still makes me worried though. I'm afraid it might only be a matter of time before something might happen!

Perhaps we should get you something to drink? Or something that might calm your stomach?

Everything is fine.

[And now he's so dedicated to being fine that even if he feels urgent indigestion coming on, he's going to have to pretend nothing is wrong. Lucas smiles.]

Actually, you should tell us how you made it! It seems like a good recipe.

[And here Fuuka just continued to stare at him]

Are you sure? Because if your stomach doesn't feel right, I can always quickly find something in a nearby store to do something!

[Nevermind she's ignoring his second comment, Lucas's safety was more important!] Actually, I think maybe we should go now just in case!

[A slight pause.]

Um. ...Miss Fuuka, if you think your food is that bad, why are you giving it out to people...?

[At first, she didn't bother to mention a word. She just stared at him mumbling to herself when she finally did]

Well...I just thought...a part of me wanted to hope that maybe it wasn't as bad as it seemed. And maybe it did turn out good but it doesn't stop me from worrying.

[He, too, pauses a bit awkwardly. While he can understand that, it seemed terribly self-defeating to spend ages trying to convince the other person that they were probably going to have an awful stomachache afterwards. But Lucas is far too polite to say anything about that.]

Well... I think it was alright! At least... it was better than you thought it was, I'm sure.

[And he'll leave it at that.]

It's OK; I'm not any good at baking, either.

[Fuuka only gave a sigh in response. It was really rude of her to simply use other people just for her own gain. But then again, here she was...trying to see if it was as bad as she thought.]

If you say so...

[And yet, she doesn't sound convinced]

Really? I'm pretty sure you aren't that bad! Perhaps it’s not as bad as you think!
