Ofelia watched as some of his food went to the floor and she chuckled, pouring a bit of what she had into his wok. It wasn't going to hurt anything, she wasn't that much ahead of him, and it was important that he made good portions or whatever in order to learn more about cooking. "Yer still doin' fine, jus' slow down a bit. Rushin' never gets ya ta yer destination any better when ya cook - only when ya drive."
They only had a bit more to go and Ofelia kept an eye on Jason, her actions with the wok pretty easily done without the need to look at everything.poke mattix ofelia's a good sort, i think =/

Looking at the food that had fallen, Jason sighed, grabbing a duster to clean up the mess he had made, and when he had finished he turned to see the sun hunter was moving some of her food into his. He gave Ofelia a thankful smile, then returned to his wok and continued moving his food around, this time being more careful and taking note of how she was moving her wok. (He also considered himself a safe driver, so he didn't like to rush when driving. Unlike his cooking in this case.) In no time at all, Jason looked at his rice and believe it to be cooked (hopefully). He turned the heat off, then grabbed a plate and began serving the fried rice. "I think I'm done over here, how about you?" He asked.

"Good on mah side. Hand me my plate out an' we'll serve one'nother up our meals." Ofelia gave a few more turns of her wok, pleased with how it was looking. The rice was browning nicely, the aroma given off by the stuff they added had her stomach at a pleasant rumble, and overall Jason had done an amazing job. It would be good to sit down and eat his food, to have him eat hers, knowing that together they accomplished something worthwhile.
Jason seemed to know what to do though, he was already getting his groove on with the food to plate action on his side, so Ofelia hurried and got hers on as well. It wasn't really a contest, she'd won the moment he dropped food (if it was) but there was still something silly about the eagerness and speed to try and get things placed in order. When they both were done, food set out evenly before one another, she took a spoon in hand and used it to point at Jason. "Okay, ya wanna go first or should Ah have the honor'a the first bite? Either way yer eatin' what Ah made an' Ah've got yers so we need ta be honest 'bout the taste okay?"
Ofelia believed both would taste awesome because there was no such thing as nasty food. All food was good food and anyone who dared to waste needed to be drug out behind a shed and shot.poke mattix sorry this took so long to get back to you ;;; i blame...the meta > ___ > /excuse

Jason had no intention of lying. He had no reason to, because he was sure Ofelia's fried rice would taste delicious. He couldn't say the same about his though, but he was hoping it would at least be edible... "Here you go." He handed her the plate, then sat down with hers in front of him. With fork in hand, he layered it with the food and took a bite. It didn't take long for him to get a idea of the flavour either. "It's wonderful!" Jason exclaimed with a smile. "The pork is perfectly cooked, and the rice is nice and fluffy, the vegetables the right consistency, it's really good!" He then looked serious. "How is...the fried rice I made?"

Ofelia took a bite and moved the food around in her mouth. It tasted really good, just as she would expect it to, so instead of responding right away she simply put another spoonful in and continued to it. Several more minutes and several more bites passed before she finally swallowed everything, looking to Jason. There was rice on her face, stuck to the corners of her mouth like a child. "Considerin' yer the one who made the pork, this is most indeed amazin'. Fer a first try Ah give ya three outta five stars. The low score is mostly since ya dropped food on the ground, but the rest comes from kickin' a** wit' taste." She took yet another bite before deciding to continue, really enjoying the flavor.
"We gotta work on learnin' seasonings next, mostly ta help enrich stuff. This food ain't bland by any means so don't think Ah'm tryin' ta say anythin' off 'bout yer cookin'." Ofelia tended to be blunt in her assessments so she was backtracking and explaining herself the best she could. It just wouldn't do at all if she somehow made Jason think he'd failed when she was very clearly praising him. "Er...what Ah mean ta say over all is - good job Jason, everythin' is delicious." She smiled a warm and genuine smile, her face lit up with happiness. "Ah'm proud'a ya, ya did good."

Waiting patiently for Ofelia to give her verdict, Jason watched on with a hint of nervousness. She was taking a awfully long time, and it took a moment for him to realize that she was going to finish everything and then tell him what it was like. And she did. His eyes widened at the praise he was receiving. Was it really that good? The three out of five stars made his smile falter just a little (he needed to practice not dropping any food), but at least she had enjoying eating it. "I should be thanking you as well Ofelia. You've been helping me out a ton, I couldn't have done it without you." He replied. "I'll have to practice more though, so I can get a five out of five result next time." He'd also have to read up on seasoning, since he didn't knowing anything about it.

"No, thank yerself. Ya got such talent, an' ta tell the truth most'a the first stuff Ah made Ah ended up eatin' only little bits of. Fer givin' it yer all yer gonna make a girl like me have a crush on ya." There was a bit of a tease to the tone, Ofelia didn't really feel that way about Jason in the slightest, but a little bit of flattery was always good for everyone's self-esteem. The teen had never heard anyone call her pretty, or say they'd fall in love, but that was beside the point. "One day yer gonna be cookin' fer the love'a yer life an' yer gonna have a feelin' ya never felt b'for."
Ofelia would do that one day, she'd cook and someone would tell her it was the best ever and ask her to cook for them for the rest of their lives together. It was a silly dream that actually had her cheeks turning red with a blush, and she quickly caught herself and shook her head. "Ahahahaha....jus'...ignore Ah said that." Ofelia got flustered, it was silly.poke mattix portals are open! they need to go buy stuff and then presents!

"Well you were only young when you began, while I'm much older" Plus he was sure it was due to Ofelia's coaching that his food had tasted good. But he felt his face redden at all the compliments he received before it became red hot. He couldn't tell if she was serious or not. "Ah..P-perhaps? I....ah....haven't..had met anyone like that yet." He laughed nervously, stopping shortly at the others blush. "Oh....ummm."
It was now the moon trainee looked slightly panicked.
Rown Sure thing! Though would it be okay if we waited till after Jason promotion? BD; Just so I can count the points to his next growth

"Yer gonna met her one day, don't worry. As fer me...there's...someone Ah like but...um...Ah haven't seen 'em in a while." Ofelia looked a little downcast, though the blush on her face was still quite clear and strong. "Don't....tell anyone Ah said anythin', please. Ah don't think anyone would be flattered ta have mah affections." Hopefully that made it pretty evident to Jason that he was not her object of affections, rather just someone she was quite fond of.
She rubbed the back of her neck and stuck the spoon back in her mouth, hardly knowing what to say. Ofelia was seldom, if ever, speechless so this was a rare occasion that someone should have marked on every calendar across the compound.poke mattix Of course! you points lover you >D Also! what's your minis name~? <3

"O-of course, I wont tell a soul!" Jason replied quickly, feeling bad for the sun hunter whom obviously admired someone (who thankfully wasn't him. Not that he didn't like her of course! She was pretty even with the eye-patch. But...ya know....). "And I wouldn't say that. I'm sure many guys would love that. I'm sure you'll met him again eventually." Seriously , what was he saying, for all he knew this person had told her they didn't like her at all. Could he dig himself any deeper?
Yes, he could.
Rown poke mattix, whats yours? <33

"Ah think he's got someone he likes, Ah mean Ah've sorta seen how he looks at her an' they're both my friends so Ah wanna have them be happy but - . . . .this isn't the place fer this an' Ah shouldn't be botherin' ya like this." Ofelia kept the spoon in her mouth and sort of slumped further into her seat. ". . . . . . . "
She felt mortified, or as much mortified as Ofelia could be.

"No, no, no, no it's perfectly fine! I...just have no idea about relationships. I mean none." He watched her guilty as she sank further into her seat. "I can tell you about medical things, and hunter things...just not relationships...I've never had a girlfriend, or really grown attached to anyone before..." It was Jason's turn to sink further into his seat. Rown Dun send me one till after reset k cause I have used up all my adoptions BUT I SHALL SEND YOU SOMETHING AFTER RESET

"Ahahaha, looks like both'a us are pretty new ta the game. Ah mean, yer only a little younger than me, right? Ah turned nineteen in May." That had been a little over six months ago but thanks to everything on the island it felt like half a lifetime. Perhaps that was why everyone always looked so much older than they were, also so much more tired. Ofelia never really felt tired, her case of insomnia was a thing of the past, and she was a bit too stupid and stubborn to ever feel mentally exhausted. Denial helped keep her in shape. "As fer talkin' 'bout stuff like that Ah'm at a loss too. Ya already know what Ah'm best at 'cause Ah've been helpin' ya wit' it all along."
Ofelia watched as Jason sank down to his seat and she reached over and patted his hand. "It's totally okay, fer a while there Ah didn't think Ah'd ever find someone ta wanna be wit' either. Ah wasn't even sure Ah liked anythin' ta be honest wit'cha. It's hard ta develop a preference when people shy away from ya like yer plagued." High school had been cruel, so very, very cruel.

"It seems so, my birthday was in July." Jason answered. He hadn't had the time to think about things like his age, forcing it to the back of his mind as he struggled to do other things. Like not dying on missions. Though at least Ofelia was talking now, although he wasn't liking what he was hearing. It sounded like she hadn't had a very good upbringing. But then, who did in deus ex? "I enjoyed high school" He replied tentatively. "It gave me a chance to expand my knowledge, to learn and not have to fret about...things" His voice tapered off as he stared at his plate, unsure if he really wanted to delve into why he hadn't developed any real friends at highschool. It wasn't something he wanted to admit, but since Ofelia was being pretty open, it wouldn't do for him to keep his mouth shut... "To be honest, it was the opposite for me. I kept away from people because I was too concerned with keeping away from the monsters and shadows...I was convinced if I didn't they would get me...I spent most of my time running and hiding from just about everything when I wasn't studying."

"Oooh, close ta mine then. Ah guess we're 'bout the same age then, not that Ah was lookin' at charts or anythin'." Ofelia had been bored, a tech had been lazy in keeping stuff, so Ofelia glanced at a few things from her friends. "An' ya don't have ta worry if ya think yer gonna make me feel bad - by the time Ah reached high school Ah was so used ta bein' avoided Ah kinda used it ta mah advantage." She grinned broadly. "Gettin' ta the front'a the lunch line was always super easy when people got outta yer way."
There was a pause. "As fer shadows an' stuff....Ah could only really see the shadows up till Ah turned six or so, an' after that it was jus' voices. The voices Ah could hear loud an' clear, sometimes Ah'd see a shadow or sommin', but usually not. The voices never scared me like they should have." That last bit was a total lie but Jason didn't need to know about her pyro activities before coming to Deus. Sometimes there were people she just wanted to think she was a good person, not someone who burned down public property.poke mattix He's nineteen like she is XD
