Yuri & Ingrid A

Ingrid
Finally, you've arrived! I was beginning to get impatient. Have a seat.

Yuri
What are you on about?

Ingrid
I'm not on about anything. Let's have dinner together, Yuri.

Yuri
...What is this? Did you make it?

Ingrid
I did. It's a simple dish—my culinary skills are fairly basic.

Yuri
Hold on. What exactly is this about?

Ingrid
You cook for me, I cook for you. That's how this works.

Ingrid
It may not be quite as elegant a meal as that of Adrestian or Leicester cuisine...

Ingrid
But the food of Faerghus is delicious nonetheless.

Yuri
Thank you for the meal. It was lovely, Ingrid.

Yuri
The flavors were...nostalgic. Reminded me of when I lived with my mother and the elder.

Yuri
I was actually born in a poor town in Faerghus. The flavors in this dish remind me of those days.

Yuri
Eh, sorry. I didn't mean to compare a meal made by nobility with the meager food I grew up eating.

Ingrid
No offense taken. To tell the truth, although my house is a noble one, it's also lacking in money.

Ingrid
Our territory was struck by famine, and we ate whatever the land gave us...which wasn't much. We took what we could, just like everyone.

Yuri
I see... Well, I must say that your cooking is quite to my taste.

Yuri
Any meal made with so much thought and care is bound to be delicious.

Ingrid
Heh heh! Why, thank you! High praise, indeed, from someone who knows their way around a kitchen.

Yuri
To survive in this world means to sharpen many skills. Whether it's cooking or anything else, really.

Yuri
Although, I've got to say, I do enjoy cooking. And if my meals can bring a smile to someone's face, all the better.

Yuri
Celebrating victories with friends, sitting around a table with loved ones, watching someone enjoy the meal I made them...

Yuri
Few things bring me more joy.

Ingrid
Have you ever considered giving up being the lord of the underworld and becoming a chef instead?

Yuri
Heh... A chef, huh? You know, that doesn't sound half bad.

Ingrid
If you ever do, I'd come to your restaurant and eat whatever you'd whipped up every day!

Yuri
I'd like that very much. I'd work extra hard so I could see that lovely smile of yours.

Ingrid
You are just too much! I can hardly maintain my composure around you...

Yuri
Did I say something wrong?

Ingrid
Not at all, Yuri. Not at all.
