Oooh...
-Leans in-
I wish I could eat with my feet...
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Kitchen (Aichi)
-Aichi's in the kitchen attempting to cook again. At the very least he's able to crack eggs without getting eggshells in them.-
"Eggs... and then..."
-Aichi's attempting to make a Japanese Omelette.-
"... Soy sauce and..."
-He's attempting to read through a recipe book he found in the library.-
Note: I'm actually reading a recipe on another tab about this because I have no idea how to cook Japanese Omelettes.
Kitchen (Aichi)
"Hello! I'm just trying to make an omelette. I haven't made a really good one yet, but maybe with this recipe I'll do a little better..."
-So far Aichi has set out the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and oil to the side and has gotten a few eggs in a bowl. He hasn't attempted to beat them yet.-
"W-Would you guys like some? I can try to make you some..."
-Aichi's trying to be nice with his offer, but he's also a little worried about how badly the dish might come out.-

-Aichi is happy that they seem to trust his cooking enough to eat some of it.-
"All right. I'll make some for you!"
-And thus begins Aichi's first attempt at cooking for others. So he adds more eggs into the bowl and starts to beat them... Or attempt to beat them. It's clear that's he's still not quite prepared for this as he seems to be a little slow.-
"..."
-OK, after a bit he's finished. Now he needs to... what does the recipe say? "Add a tablespoon of the soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. He goes to do that, but it seems he got a little carried away with the sugar and ends up with a little too much going in.-
"W-Wait... was that too much...?"
Kitchen (Aichi)
-Aichi gets a little sheepish.-
"Y-Yeah, it should be fine."
-So Aichi has finished adding those ingredients, but quickly realizes he needs to add 'a little salt'... Just how much is a little?-
"Um..."
-Let's try just a pinch? He grabs a little bit and puts it in with the rest of the ingredients.-
"Now I'm supposed to add oil to the pan..."
-Aichi does that, but sadly it splashes a little outside of the pan. Poor Aichi's being a little clumsy out of his nervousness to make a decent dish for Leos and Sthesia. Regardless he rushes to get a rag and clean it up.-
"O-OK, turn it up to medium heat..."

Do you want some help there?
(As much as it is probably good for Aichi to try cooking the omelette on his own, Sthesia might be wanting to help a little. Must be that Big Sister Instinct.)
Hmmm...
"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."Kitchen (Aichi)
-Aichi shakes his head.-
"I appreciate it, but I'd like to try to make this myself..."
-After all he needs to be able to take care of himself... and he wants to make a good meal for both Sthesia and Leos. It wouldn't do to have him need their help.-
"Ah, I think it's hot enough!"
-He adds the egg mix to the pan and starts tending to it. Before long he's pushing the egg to the side of the pan like the book says... Although he might be doing it a little too early.-
-He's slowly but surely following the recipe. At the very least it's seeming like the end result will be edible.-
Kitchen (Aichi)
-Aichi's just about done! He's been adding more of the egg mix when needed and just needs to get it out of the pan.-
"All right. I think it's about done. I just need to get it on a plate."
-Aichi grabs the pan and starts to get the omelette onto a plate.-
"...? Oh, it says here we need to wait for it to cool before slicing it... It doesn't say how long though..."
Kitchen (Aichi)
-Aichi nods.-
"All right."
-And so he waits... albeit anxiously. Just how is going to turn out? It was less of a disaster than usual, but it's still not perfect by any means. What if it tastes disgusting?-
"..."
-Perhaps it has finally been a minute? Aichi grabs a knife and slices the omelette. He then divides the slices among three plates.-
"... I didn't think of something to go with this..."
-... Well... a little late now. He decides to give Sthesia and Leos their omelettes since they've been waiting.-
"H-Here you go! I hope you enjoy it."
-The end result is a little unrefined looking. The slices aren't evenly sized and aren't straightly cut... Regardless they look like they're edible... They're probably rather sweet though.-

-Aichi's omelette is somewhat overcooked and is sweet... a little too sweet. It seems to overpower the other ingredients somewhat. It's also a little tough. Not unbearably so, but it's enough to be a little off-putting.-
-Overall it's not terrible, but dang it could be a lot better.-
"H-How is it?"
(still chewing) Not... bad? I like the sweetness, but I can't really taste anything else. (munch munch) It's still good.
(Sthesia looks a little guilty though) Yeah, sorry, Aichi, you might need a little more practice. But it's still a good start.
(Damn, you two, Why'd you have to be so honest?)
"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."Kitchen (Aichi)
-Aichi's very disappointed in his terrible cooking, but manages to give a small, sheepish smile regardless.-
"S-Sorry... I still need to practice a lot more..."
-He clasps his hands together.-
"Let's eat!"
-He takes a bite of his omelette... OK, it tastes rather sugary... and it's tough... After finishing a bite of it he has an even more sheepish smile.-
"W-Well... At least it's not burnt and there's not a fire... Last time I tried an omelette it ended up brown all over and tasted burnt..."
-Yay, progress? Despite the progress he loses his sheepish smile.-
"... I'm really sorry, you guys. I wanted to make a good meal for you, but I'm still not quite there yet..."

-Aichi is still a bit depressed about his lack of good food, but he can't really stay very upset when Sthesia and Leos are so kind to him. With Sthesia's sweet smile and Leos's kindness Aichi can't help but smile again.-
"Thanks. I'm going to keep trying to improve. Maybe one day I can make you something that tastes good!"
