An introvert and a shadow walk into a haunted house

No. We have chefs at the Order.

[Jeryy... why aren't you here... he wants his soba]

[sootprints]

Oh. I suppose it's the same at the manor I'm from.

So you're trying to learn as you go, then?

[sixillusions]

No, I know enough. [He like. Won't set the house on fire, at least.] I don't like the other foods here.

[But pumpkin is an upgrade from tummyache mushrooms from the swamp, which is what he was eating before...]

[sootprints]

That's understandable. I've only been eating the fish...

[ she did not touch the refectory food at all. ]

It's good to have some vegetables, finally.

[sixillusions]

[Kanda (handshake) Kate. K name solidarity.]

...Maybe we should be more suspicious of magic food.

[Now that he thinks about it, actually? Who grew these. No one lives on that island??]

[sootprints]

We should, yes.

It's a bit tiring to avoid suspicious food when almost all of it is suspicious for one reason or another. But still...

[sixillusions]

[Looks at this pumpkin like he isn't sure he should continue chopping it]

[sootprints]

[ ...... ]

... Perhaps Lavi should try it first.

[sixillusions]

[HELP

Normally he'd be like "yeah let him perish" but this time he shakes his head.]

His body can't handle it if it's bad.

[sootprints]

Really? Does he have a weak stomach?

[sixillusions]

[Oh, it does sound like that, huh. He realizes this belatedly.]

No. [He doesn't think so?? Lavi's never said he does, anyway] But he heals normally.

[Like a regular person... who presumably would die from poisoned pumpkin bite]

[sootprints]

Normally, as opposed to...?

[ ??? how else would you heal. ]

[sixillusions]

...Nothing. Nevermind.

[Thanks Kanda

Anyway, moving on:]

It'd be stupid of them to poison us, so it's probably fine.

[sootprints]

[ thanks kanda ]

Truthfully, I was more worried about mind-altering substances than actual poisons.

[sixillusions]

[Oh, he didn't think about that.]

You think they want to knock us out again?

[sootprints]

It's not unheard of for kidnappers to use such things to make their victims cooperative and complacent.

[sixillusions]

[Yes, she has a point. Though...]

If they got us all here, I don't know if they'd need food for that. [...

Muttered:] But they seem like idiots...

[HOW DID THEY EVEN MANAGE TO PULL OFF STEP 1.]

[sootprints]

... True. I'm sorry if I've been sounding paranoid. It's not that I've actually encountered such a thing directly... I just get too caught up in thinking about the possibilities.

[ paranoia is probably the last thing kanda needs, actually! ]

[sixillusions]

[Don't worry Kate he can't get any more paranoid than he already is]

Until there's an opening, that's all we can do. [Consider the possibilities, even if they seem ridiculously paranoid. Kanda isn't the type to say things like "it's okay, you're fine" or "don't worry," so this as close as it gets.]
