[ Kitchen, kitchen.. Which is to be expected, as Siffrin quietly sneaks in and yet not so quietly is their rumbling tummy. Ooouf. Ready to rummage for something different until to their surprise
oops, someone else is there. WAIT I FORGOT MY FIT CHECK ok there ]
Oh, sorry. Didn't think anyone was in here.

[ lord, they need more adjusting than that. Even with their default hat on, their hair is clearly unbrushed.
But they are pointedly distracted by his ears swiveling cause.. huh. They moved? He's sure they did. ...Right, he said something oops-- ]
Oh, no, we haven't met yet... I'm Siffrin. My pronouns are he/they. [ Habit just kicks in. ] Were you in the middle of cooking..?

[ he has a little bit of a claude reaction here but after a moment, sort of bemused: ]
I'm Jiaoqiu. I - suppose you may use he and him to refer to me? [ is he doing this right. he's trying so hard to be polite. ]
Anyway, yes. I am. Are you hungry? [ he's making food but he hasn't added the insane amount of spice yet, which is why he's pausing. he's put so many people through the gauntlet already. ]

[ A nod, yeah Siffrin is starting to realize it is Not a common practice with introductions with a lot of people... how strange. Weird! ]
Jiaoqiu.. [ Said slowly, trying to repeat it properly and not mess it up. ] And he/him. I'll try to remember.
[ For a moment they grow quiet, before they nod, sheepish. ]
Yeah. Was hoping to find something filling. But I can wait until you're done, I don't mind.
[ Assumes Jiaoqiu is in the middle of preparing something for himself. ]

[ shows up to trial with an inexplicable pineapple ]
Ka Bue? [ he asks, interested. ] It'll take a moment to prepare, but it'll be worth it.
[ if they want to help he won't argue, but he's not gonna force it either. seems rude to offer to make food for someone and then be like anyway, you do half of it. ]

[ siffrin would be the nobanana cat at that ]
Yeah, Ka Bue is a country located in... [ A squint, trying to think. It was.. oh, right. ] The northern hemisphere.
[ But otherwise, for a moment, he just stands there... however it does feel a bit bad to not offer. Or do anything to help. It's one thing if he's thoroughly told to just wait, but since Jiaoqiu hasn't... ]
..Is there anything I can do? I don't do a lot of cooking but, if there's something that needs cutting or anything.. I can manage that?

[ jiaoqiu watches him sort of just awkwardly stand there for a moment, and laughs a bit when they finally offer. not meanly! just amused. ]
If you'd like. You can cut the sausage and tofu for me, provided you aren't allergic to either. [ he knew a guy that was allergic to tofu and it was the saddest thing in the universe for jiaoqiu. anyway, he gestures at a cutting board where those things are waiting. ]
Did you travel your world frequently? Forgive me, I'm just curious about where everybody has come from.

[ At least Siffrin takes no offense to it, they're used to it. Perking at that mention and shifts their cloak to slide out a weird looking knife. At least he goes into the motions of cleaning it up and wiping it down before actually doing any cutting right away. ]
I'm not, just allergic to pineapple. So those are fine.
[ Moves over to the cutting board, wielding their knife like its a part of themselves, efficiently slicing up the ingredients. Though they smile a little at the question. ]
I've also been curious so... [ He gets it. ] I've been traveling for as long as I can remember, though more recently I'd been with a group taking care of some business. ..What about you?

[ that sure is some sort of knife. it's so wobbly. ]
I've been... around. [ he doesn't know how to keep the tone light and also say yeah, i went to other planets to help fight in a war, so he doesn't. ] Mostly, I lived on the Xianzhou Yaoqing, one of the flagships of the Xianzhou Alliance. Our ship travels through space, seeking out Denizens of the Abundance in an attempt to eradicate them, in the name of the Hunt.
Though, that sounds very grand. In reality a lot of my time was spent in an office.

[ Sharp and angled like a little scythe. mini scythe knife. Sorta. ]
..You were traveling through space? [ There's a look of disbelief, bewilderment because that's just. Really out there? People are just doing that?? Seriously?? ] Hunting..?
[ ...So he says until mentioning office time. ]
Why the office?

[ HE'S GOTTEN THIS REACTION A LOT ]
I accepted a position as the right hand of an Arbiter General who is a woman of action. Someone needed to do her paperwork, and the responsibility often fell on me. I didn't mind. Mostly.
[ he loves you feixiao but also. fondly exasperated. ]
I assume space travel isn't something you're accustomed to.

[ These are Words but.. at least it seems like Jiaoqiu doesn't actually mind his job. That must be something then. ]
If you managed the paperwork, what did she do as a General? Help regarding.. the Hunt?
[ Doing his best to remember what was shared already, not that he's not listening, but his memory sure does some things. ]
...No. Most don't even think about space and the stars. It's not really something most people know about. So something like space travel is even farther than that.

[ he doesn't mind explaining! he really likes talking about feixiao more than he does about himself. ]
She led the charge, most often. The Hunt is her main priority in life, yes. To eradicate the Abundance.
[ and then, for the rest: ] I see. There are quite a few worlds like this here, I've found.

[ :mgun: too bad you'll talk about yourself too, jq. ]
I'm assuming the.. Abundance is a threat you guys? What are they?
[ i just noticed that's a bun dance. Anyways, finishes their slicing of the sausage and tofu, bringing it over to him before looking expectantly in a "anything else I can do?" way. ]
Really expresses how big the Universe is.

[ A BUN DANCE ]
It is. When I say the Abundance, I mean the borisin, mostly. They make a habit of capturing, enslaving, and eating my people, so I hold no empathy for them. Lan's judgement is swift.
[ he takes the sausage and tofu, as he's filling a pot with broth carefully. his movements are slow and deliberate. ]
This will need to simmer for a while. Thank you for your help.

[ Borisin may as well be gibberish to them, they don't know what that means. But everything else is really! Alarming! What the (fantasy magic curse) ]
...That sounds terrible. I can't.. [ Imagine dealing with that? Outside their situation back home, the world itself is otherwise pretty normal in comparison. It's like they're not a hoyoverse or something. ]
It's no problem. It's the least I could do.
[ also i hope Jiaoqiu is making this so spicy... please... ]

[ they should be glad they're not a hoyoverse because it means he doesn't have to live on the star rail wiki trying to find important world information buried in a note under a basket in the woods ]
It is what it is. [ but he appreciates it! they get a little pat on the arm. also yeah, it's spicy as fuck. he's tried to make a little more mild just because so many people have complained but his taste is broken, ]
This will need to simmer on low heat for a few minutes.

[ The pain and suffering of wiki... no instead im left scouring script project site or my recordings, or just (redacting). but truly at least it's not a hoyoverse genuinely. ripieces. ]
I guess you guys have been dealing with it for some time..? [ That little pat on their arm is so light, but for some reason or another Siffrin jumps like a startled wild animal who isn't used to be touched. Oopsie. A small squeak. ]
O-Okay.
[ Don't make it mild, bring all the heat. Siffrin may in fact be able to handle it. Also being able to try something new for a change is always a good experience for them. ]
