{Video}

[Terra smiles shyly at the screen, it’s set up on her counter and shows a small view of her modest kitchen.]

Hello, I’m trying to learn how to cook. I’m not too good at it but I have some good cookbooks I found at the book store. I have a few people who have already offered to help but if anyone else is willing I’d be grateful.

Thank you.

[She knows a few people who will rush over after seeing her video. She’s invited them to learn to cook with her though she doesn’t know who will teach them. Terra has everything prepared with a cookbook open, the refrigerator stocked while pots and pans littered the counter tops. She doesn’t even know which would be best to use.

She’ll wait to hear a sound at the door, spending the extra time reading the intro to the cookbook while sitting at the kitchen table. It goes over food pre, names of equipment as well as common techniques to be used in the kitchen.]

[Terra nods her head.]

Maybe that's why I feel safe when you're around.

[She finishes her salad and places down her fork.]

[Ronan had finished his own salad a few moments ago, but her comment raises his eyebrows.]

You...feel safe around me?

I do.

[Terra picks up his plate and quickly begins cleaning them off in the sink. Honestly she wouldn't have let Ronan stay with her if she didn't feel safe around him.]

[He starts about cleaning up the rest of the kitchen, putting things away, stuff like that.]

Well...thanks, I guess.

[Terra just smiles and continues to clean the dishes and set them in the dish strainer. When she's finished she looks back at Ronan.]

Do we need to do anything else?

[She remembers their being milk in the fridge and she doesn't think they need anything more.]

[He looks thoughtful for a moment, before shaking his head.]

I don't think so, unless, you know, we want some dessert.

[Terra blinks.]

Do we have dessert?

...I think we still have some ice cream in the freezer.

[At least he was pretty sure he hadn't eaten it all.]

[Terra opens the freezer and spots a small container of mint chocolate chip that is half gone. She pulls it out and then splits what's left into two bowls. She gives Ronan a little extra before passing it over to him with a smile.]

Here.

[Was that really the last of the ice cream? That sucked.]

Thanks. [This ice cream was something his brother-in-law used to tease him about all the time. It was then he realized he hadn't thought about Rex since he'd showed up here. He wondered what he was up to, but then remembered time didn't pass while he was gone.] What do you think?

[Terra takes a bite and then smiles. The cool minty flavor fills her mouth and while ice cream isn't something she eats a lot she likes it.]

I like it.

[Another pause as she takes another bite.]

I'll have to pick up more.

[There will most likely be mint chocolate chip in the freezer always.]

[He smiles slightly, nodding.]

It's mint chocolate chip. It's, uh....my favorite.

[Terra's smile widens.]

I can see why. I'll make sure to buy a bigger size too.

[At least the half gallon instead of the pint. She isn't sure if ice cream goes bad or not but hearing that he likes it makes her want to have it around the house. That's also now three things she knows that he likes: smoking, catching bad guys and ice cream.]

[He scoffs.]

...you don't have to do that, Terra. I...can get my own ice cream.

[Terra blinks at him with the cold spoon resting between her lips.]

But I have to go to the store for eggs anyway.

[She goes to the store at least once a week to pick things up.]

[That gets a smile from him.]

Okay, fine. You can buy the ice cream.
