[There's something about the rewinding NPC-like nature of this place that truly sits ill at ease with him, but he focuses instead on everything that isn't that. Their interaction, however brief, and how cute it is. The garden itself. This new person, whom he has never and likely would never meet.]
Ah, Bonnie! I see. They do look very young... [A LATTLE BABY.] And even then, to be such a talented cook is a wonderful thing, indeed. I'm glad that they're able to enjoy keeping everyone fed. Dear Yves could have learned a thing or two from them, maybe.
[ No no, it's totally normal. If Siffrin notices at all, they don't seem like it, just continuing on with their introductions because everything is okay! ]
Mhm, the four of us were traveling when we came across them escaping from the King's curse. They've been with us since. [ A very good chef-in-the-making! Though curious... ] Yves cooks?
I can't really speak for them, but... it's been.. nice. Traveling with them.
[ It's been the happiest they've ever been, but they can't say that. Not again. Can't say how much traveling with them all has meant. But it's fine.. they blink over at that. ]
[There's just a faint little laugh at that but you can bet your ass he'll dodge to physically intercept anyone who looks like they're going to eat some of Yves' food in public...]
I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with what an onigiri is... Not suited to apples, I take it?
[ So true queen, you know some people would be nice to try Yves' food.... Siffrin is def some people. ]
Onigiri is a Ka Buan recipe, it's a rice ball that you usually form into a triangular shape and wrapped in nori? Normally they have sour or salty fillings. Like pickled plums.
Bonnie just assumed by plums, maybe any kind of fruit might work and used apple slices instead.
[HE WILL SAVE THEM FROM BEING OFFSCHEDULE MURDERED.]
Ah! I see... Goodness, that must have been a strange taste, then, if it's not meant to have sweet fillings. Apples and plums aren't very much alike even without pickling them...
[ It'll be worth if it makes Yves happy for the 0.2 seconds that they're still alive. ]
They aren't, and honestly it didn't taste really good but they look really happy when you eat what they make. [ And Siffrin never wants to upset them. ] There's still one more of my companions to meet, if you want to?
[ BINGO YIPPEE. A nod, and the scenery will change, being on the opposite side of the village now where there's a big tree in the distance. The biggest tree to tree around here. It is so big.
On the pathway to it though, there seems to be a rather large and tall man. this man is like 6'5" or smth TALL. Siffrin is so smol in comparison i tear up.
Anyway, as Siffrin approaches - ] Isa.
[ The man perks, raising a brow with a friendly smile, "Sif. Woke up on the wrong side of the bed? I get it. Anyway, I was just looking at the Favor Tree! Isn't this tree cool???" And Siffrin seems to shift, as if remembering something. ] Yeah, it is...
[ Freezes suddenly. There's another sound, a little of that rewind thing as the man goes back with his arms crossed and looking very pondering with his face crunched in thought and eyes closed. Siffrin turns to Lucas like nothing happened, registering where they are. ] That's Isabeau, he was the first to join Mirabelle in her travels to try and stop the King's curse. He used to be a Defender back in Jouvente, helping people, he's kinda the rock in the party. Always supporting and being there for everyone.
[ me voice and he also has a massive crush on Siffrin but thats not important enough to share. :( ]
[HE IS JUST WATCHING THIS REWIND HAPPEN AGAIN AND HE IS SO CONFUSED truly he has no idea if it's an effect of the cave or not and he is too polite to ask just yet, especially on the heels of accidentally being like "DAMN, YOU DON'T KNOW COLORS???", my god. Maybe this too is just normal for their world...
But the extremely tall man is charming, and he smiles. THIS TRAGIC LORE THAT LUCAS WILL NEVER KNOW. NOT THE CRUSH.]
Oh! He sounds very reliable, indeed... And he looks like he has quite a jovial personality, too. The kind of person that's warm to be around, I imagine?
The tall man is such a big oversized puppy, the biggest sunshine ever. Siffrin does watch Isabeau a little, a flick of sad but they control their expressions mostly otherwise. ]
Yeah, he is. [ Even now, the ache of yearning is there. Terrible. ] He will always join in when I have a good pun and joke in mind, too. The group relies a lot on his support probably more than he knows.
Yeah, I thought so too for a bit. [ But unlike Isabeau, Yves isn't afraid to reach out and touch. ] If they were in the same room together, I'd definitely think "two of them."
[ Even if Isabeau body wise is more like Marcoh. zetsu voice these men got tiddies ]
It's a shame they can't meet easily. [Do not die, Sif's friend who... hopefully isn't... dead already... my god.] I feel like they'd get along a bit too well, though? The type of friendship that would age everyone around them.
[ hey god i've been good this year give me the pillowy chests ]
Considering Isa and I already do that enough with our tag teaming with puns to our group, I'd agree on that. They'd be a dangerous duo.
[ Said softly. It's too bad Siffrin is here instead, but if their group was here as well... (...) No, they try not to think about it. Because everything is fine. They'll be fine. They're fine. ]
Maybe once this is all over, there will be a chance for new meetings.
[ (You know that won't happen. Once you go back, that'll be it.) ]
[boob pillow for zetsu under the christmas tree in february
Lucas isn't able to beat up the brackets narrator, so he just laughs, light and airy and in good spirits as he often is, just thinking about the hilarity of these two very puppy-like people meeting.]
Maybe so! I would like that, at least. [But after a last glance toward Isa, he'll turn back to Sif and offer a smile.] Thank you for sharing this much of your home and your life with me, dear. Even if it wasn't the real thing, I enjoyed meeting your friends very much.
..Of course. [ It isn't really home but... their family - no, their friends, they wonder if that would be what home feels like. ] It was nothing. It was a good break. Though.. I think I could use something to eat now.
[ An easy convincing smile that they have practiced so many times that comes with ease.
BUT ALSO THEY CAN CHILL AS I END THIS THREAD yaaay thanos snaps us ]

[ Yves cooking.... ]
no subject
He doesn't say anything about it just yet, at least...]
Ah, what a fortuitous meeting, then. I do hope you've all been able to enjoy one another's company? [Not counting the potential DEATH they faced.
He also just kind of goes quiet for a second at that.]
...No.

[A little, encouraging nod.
And then he just shakes his head.
THAT'S IT. THAT'S THE ANSWER. JUST NO!]
no subject
Also, help me. Siffrin just watches like.. wait. ]
..Not that good of a cook?
no subject
Also don't worry about it. Except he just says, with a kind of vacant smile:]
I did eat a dish prepared by dear Yves once and almost met my God that much sooner because of it.

Sorry, they laugh. ]
Sounds like an enlightening meal.

[ Teasing. It's funny. ] The most Bonnie has done in their experimenting is swapping a plum out in an onigiri for apple slices instead.
[ It was not good. ]
