Ren watched everything Nicholai did with fascination. He couldn't identify the vegetables, they looked so different, he'd only seen the processed products on his plate. He could do gardening? It was tempting. "I...I'd get dirty" he said almost to himself more than to Nicholai. "I'm not used to getting dirty. But...I think I would like to learn. I think I would like to do gardening with you."

Ren looked utterly horrified. Skin and gut meat? The man was being humorous, surely? He took the piece of carrot proffered and examined it. "The colour is different. I'm used to carrot that is more yellowish, this is orange. And it feels hard." He popped it into his mouth, crunched, chewed and swallowed. He smiled at Nicholai. "I like the texture very much! And it is much more flavoursome. I want to try more foods!"

He watched Ren eat take a bite of the carrot half and studied his react to it. He liked if, which was good. "You will. Don't worry. But, you have to be careful. Some foods, like meat, are bad for you eaten raw. Others can't be eaten at all because they're poisonous. Some berries can paralyze you, while others will kill you in minutes. So, don't eat anything new without asking me if it's safe or not. Okay? Anything I make will be safe, of course."Out Of Creativity: --

Ren was greatly relieved by Nicholai's reassurance, he really didn't want to have anything to do with killing or preparing meat. He was mortified by the notion. He listened to the immortal's advice about food. Really, it did sound terribly dangerous to live out here. No doubt he would not last long if he were alone if much of the apparent food sources were poisonous. "I will not eat anything without checking with you first" he assured him.

Now, would you like to try a potato piece? Just a small piece. Raw potatoes are dangerous when consumed in large quantities."Out Of Creativity: --

Why had Nicholai laughed just then? What had he said or done that was humorous? Ren had no idea. Potatoes were poisonous? It seemed there were so many dangers he'd had no idea about. He nodded and took the small piece of potato offered. He popped it into his mouth, chewed once then pulled a face and spat it out onto the floor. "That's disgusting! It doesn't taste anything like potato at all!" he exclaimed. "Clean it up!" Why had the other given him something that tasted so horrible?

xx✎I'm all alone There he went. Nicolai shook his head and ate a piece of potato before returning to cutting up the vegetables. "I draw the line at someone else's bodily fluids. Clean it up yourself." Nicolai wasn't going to be a compliant pet allthe time. He had limits that weren't going to be ignored. Even if it angered Ren.Out Of Creativity: --

Ren first looked very surprised and then looked angry, proffering a dark scowl. "But...you have to do what I say! You're....I.... Oh dammit! Fine. It can stay there!" He marched out of the kitchen to the living area and flopped down on the couch, arms folded, pouting. He sat there sulking for about ten minutes. Then he reappeared in the kitchen, grabbed a cleaning cloth and cleaned up the spat out potato without saying a word.

xx✎I'm all alone Nicolai glanced at Ren. He couldn't tell if he was angry because Nicolai refused to obey him or because he couldn't bring himself to say what he wanted to say. That Nicolai was his pet and he had to listen to him. The immortal returned his attention to preparing the stew, and he'd just set the pot on the stove and turned it on when Ren returned to the kitchen and cleaned the small mess. "...Can I assume you're not a virgin, or is that stereotypical and insulting?"Out Of Creativity: --

Ren was kind of relieved that Nicholai made no mention of the small incident and the Burondai's caving in and cleaning up. But then Nicholai asked that question and he would have much rather have been railed over the sulking than talk about this! "That depends exactly what you mean" he replied. "That is, in one way yes and in another way no. My experience is limited."

xx✎I'm all alone Ren's reaction was...not what Nicolai was expecting. He looked so surprised and startled by the question that the immortal couldn't help but laugh a bit. However, he ceased doing so and looked through the cupboards for any suitable spices. "Forgive me. I asked because I was wondering if maybe you being so quick to anger was caused by sexual frustrations. Of course, no longer taking the chemicals the city fed you could also cause it. Unless you're naturally this irritabls...." And, what did that even mean? You were either a virgin or you weren't. There was no in-between. Not that Nicolai knew of anyway.Out Of Creativity: --

"Oh, I see. Well, no, I'm not usually so on edge. I do feel very on edge but so much has happened so suddenly" Ren replied. "And...yes, it is partly physical frustration. I'm used to certain outlets I don't have available to me right now. Outlets you would admonish me for. And I'm sure you're right about the withdrawal of the drugs we're given in the water, yes."
