Part 705: Virion (Father) A

The soup has such an... elegant aroma! Nicely done, dear. I'm sure everyone will be eager for a taste.

Thanks. I had a good teacher. I had no idea you knew so much about cooking!

I learned a lot after marrying your mother. It was that or starve...

Ha! You two really get along so well, don't you?

Yeah, I guess we do...

.......

...Heh heh.

Hmm?

Just thinking that this must be what it feels like. ...Having parents, I mean. Being a normal family. I never really got to have that, but... it's nice.

Kjelle...

But hey, enough of that. Didn't mean to get all misty.

Let's dig in to this soup! *slurp*

Kjelle, I know you're a strong girl who doesn't like to ask for help... But you can, you know? If there's anything I can ever do, just name it.

Weeell... I guess one thing comes to mind, actually.

Do tell.

Keep teaching me how to cook! This soup tastes like dishwater...

*Slurp* ...Oh gods, it does.

Actually, I've had better dishwater...

Right then. I can at least get you cooking food that tastes like food.

That'd be plenty for me! Thanks!
