Smiling warmly she accepted his turn down of her offer without complaint. "If you change your mind, let me know." It warmed her that he enjoyed her company as she enjoyed his.
Without trying to be rude, Menolly took a few moments to look around the home. Walking the farthest from him up to this point she walked briefly around the living space appreciating the home. "This place is amazing." He may not have built it on his own it was still impressive. Stepping past the hall, she looked down curiously before gravitating to the kitchen. "It is a stunning home!" That kitchen was wonderful too. The cooking that could be in the kitchen was boggling.
There was nothing like this down below any more but reminded her so much of her childhood.Tartara Seabreeze XD Menolly wouldn't complain, Kurt would! They are so going to get through this rp without knowing either fact: Who Menolly's father is and what Raken did. Observant Menolly is not.

Raken nodded in appreciation to her offer, but it was one he did not plan to take her up on. The only thing he'd really need, was to send word to his family. But the only non-family pae he trusted with that information, was some where in the mountains herding alpaca.
"They set me up really nicely. It reminds me a lot of headquarters, minus the running water of the bathhouse and a fully stocked refrigerator." Since he practically never left the house, it was kind of the fairies and the order to gift him such a nice abode to borrow. Though it was very, very different than his cave. He moved over to the kitchen to set the rabbits on the counter. "It's almost nice enough to want to keep it as a winter place when it's safe for me to return home." Would Dyas like it? Perhaps the big comfy chairs at least for her reading.Evilsilverdragon 3 rp's later - YOU'RE the guy who blew up the Tree?! -Your FATHER is KURT?!

Turning to him when he spoke, Menolly moved closer eyeing around the kitchen to figure out how she could help. Not knowing how he set his up, there was no telling what each drawer had in it. If she was alone long enough she could learn the kitchen as it stood that still felt rude.
"It reminds me a bit of home too. We lived right next to the HQ and had a kitchen similar to this. You don't see that anymore down there."
Living so close they could visit frequently for things that couldn't be gathered. When she last awoke that was the first stop to find home. Only, there was no home to find. "Where is home for you?" She didn't have an answer herself but was sure he did.
Tartara Seabreeze I can see it now, a good three rps of strong relationship building. Followed by Kurt getting rescued and back in the city. Raken talks about his lady love, Kurt is supportive congratulating him. Find out its his daughter and has an internal melt down war xd

A blue hand reached down to pull out a knife from a drawer. "In a cave down in Loka Nei. I've lived there for years, since before HQ fell." He skillfully flipped the knife in his hand before moving it to one of the rabbits. But right before making the first cut, he noticed she was just...standing there. Looking slightly out of place. "Have you skinned a rabbit before?" Raken straightened with a faint smile. "I can show you how."

At least she knew where that was, "I've always lived either in the HQ or right near it." It was easy to get to and from in her old home. "Though I did live in a tree house for a little bit." Thinking about the tree house made her miss Wolfwood. It had been so long she didn't frown over it but he was still in her thoughts.
Shaking her head she told him, "No, I've never skinned a rabbit. My Dad did that. I've cleaned fish though!" Not connected but it was a skill! Stepping closer to Raken in order to learn, she tried hard not to think about how cute the rabbits were. At least these weren't alive so she couldn't hurt the poor things.

Tree houses. Dameon lived in a Tree house with his rather large family. He grudgingly missed that yellow demon and his kind wife.
"There's a method to it so you keep the fur intact. First you cut around the ankles of the hind legs, right above the joint. Like so." He moved the knife back down, and gently cut through the skin. "Being careful not to cut too deep. We only want the skin." He set the knife down momentarily to pull out a second one from the drawer. "Would you like to follow along on the second rabbit? Learning hands on is best."

Looking at the knife with wide eyes, the angel chewed on her bottom lip for a few moments before reaching out for it. Using a knife was no big deal, she knew how to use it. Cooking was fun, a great activity with her mother. This..this was cutting up an adorable bunny.
Trying to hide how she felt about it, she averted her eyes from Raken and looked down at the bunny. It didn't help. "Okay," She said mainly directed to the rabbit,"I am ready." Grabbing the hind legs she placed her knife about where he placed his ready to follow along. Also had the strong urge to find a live bunny and pet it.Tartara Seabreeze Que Menolly apologizing to the next bunny she sees

He could see her hesitance, but didn't really understand it. This was a crucial part of survival, and the rabbit didn't feel any pain in this. If they didn't eat it now, that would be the true shame as the rabbit died for nothing.
But she still resolved to do it, so he would resume teaching. He picked back up his knife after handing her the one he just fetched, and made the circular cuts. "Then we're going to cut from the incision down until about it's hip. Remember not to cut into the meat." He carefully made the slices before looking to the side at her work.

In trying to be gentle, the cuts were not happening how they should. In turn she put more pressure which cut too deeply into the hind leg. No pae had to tell her she cut too deep. Pouting then taking a deep breath, she kept going trying her best not to mess this up--more-- despite how she felt about it. When she lifted her knife and tried again, it went better as she followed his instructions.

He watched her intently as she cut too much at first, seeing if she would catch her mistake. To his surprise, she did, without him needing to say a thing to her. "Good, good. Now we're going to gently roll down the skin from the ankles and along the torso..." As he spoke, he gently began pulling down the skin to reveal the pink meat underneath.

Following his instructions she gently stared to peel the skin back. While she fought a frown, a smile could not win leaving a pretty neutral edging on serious expression. Of course it was times like this, when one's hands were gross that a nose itches. In her case a little bit of her blonde hair came free from behind her ear to wave in her face.
That did not help matters as it did itch her nose a little but with her hands the way they were, there was no way she was touching her hair! This then started a game of puffing air out to cause the lock to fly up only to fly back and hit her on the nose. The epic battle took some of her attention from what she was doing and helped to distract her from the bunny. The less fur, thus less like a bunny, the less it started to bother her.

Since he was watching her progress, he of course noticed the 'epic' battle of her against her hair. Despite himself he found himself grinning. Not a small smile, but a full grin. "With the fur down to it's stomach, we need to cut the tail off. Be very careful around here, as we don't want to puncture the bladder which will ruin the pelt and the meat." He pulled up on it's tail bone and gently sawed through. "With this we're halfway done."

The warning was taken seriously, ruining the meat would be tantamount to wasting the poor rabbit. The adorable--though not so now-- creature would have died for nothing. That was a tragedy she could not inflict on the already fatally wounded creature. Unfortunately her hair was still being uncooperative. As touching it was absolutely out of the question, she continued her unarmed battle.
Tossing her head up and to the side it helped a little. This didn't rid her of the persistent lock, but did provide a different solution. Tilting her head to the side she was able to force the hair to fall against her cheek allowing her to have an unobstructed view of the not pleasing to look at rabbit. This at least allowed her to cut the tail off without risking cutting something she wasn't supposed to cut. She was able to follow his directions closely if just a little sideways.

"Alright, now cut the circles around the front legs as we did with the hindlegs. Then we'll pull the skin down further until where it's arms are." He carefully made the cuts before rolling down the skin. "Then like taking off a coat, we pull the arms out."

Please guardians let this be over quickly! Menolly made her silent prayers to the merciful Guardians as she continued her work. Having used the knives many times in the past she was surer with her work and did follow his instructions well. It was getting easier but having to see the face and picturing the little nose twitching all adorable like twisted her heart strings. Taking a deep breath she finished with the last leg just as he instructed.
