[ ooc: Nooo! ;o; I hope the rest of the year goes up from there!! No more sickness... ;; ]
[ Satisfied that Neuvillette seems to be maneuvering the chopsticks decently enough, Ming Yi steps out of his space and returns to his own seat (and his own plate). ]
Chopsticks. [ He answers simply, then looks up at Neuvillette's explanation, and, with a somewhat despondent look in his eyes, thinks that it's rather fortunate to be eating food that only requires one, two utensils at most. ] The ones that you eat with only come in a single size; the larger ones are for cooking.
If we ever meet at a restaurant with the cutlery you're familiar with, you'll need to teach me the same.
[ And perhaps that will be quite the feast, to accommodate so many pieces of cutlery.
The other subject, however, is more concerning. ]
It is odd. [ Though his eyes fall to Neuvillette's hand and watch as he transfers the dumplings to his plate, and watching him succeed, he feels mildly glad for his companion. It turns out that one doesn't forget being an older brother. It would be embarrassing to praise a grown man, however. ] I'm not sure where this is myself. That itself may still be outside of our understanding...
A very pragmatic name. [He approves. And, as he slowly gets the hang of maneuvering them, he can appreciate how easy they are to maneuver, like an extension of one's fingers.] Only one size? Although saying so may earn me the ire of those who are fond of ceremony, I would much prefer one size of utensil rather than the complicated system of what one can use with which course.
[Neuvillette glances over at his new acquaintance before giving him a nod.] It would be my pleasure. I hope there is an opportunity to do so.
[Which brings them back to just how long they'll be stuck here. It's quite the predicament.] I have been to other realms before, places outside of... of existence? Or perhaps outside of the normal plane of existence. This does strike me as something similar. But knowing that isn't at all helpful in solving how to leave, I'm afraid.
As far as problems that can be solved... I am curious. I enjoy soup... but surely you don't use chopsticks for liquids.
