“Uh… let me rephrase that. At what age were you allowed in the kitchen at home?” He corrected himself.

Link shrugged. "I started cooking meals for me and my mother at age 9…. She was generally too drunk to do much, so I had to learn myself." Link smiled a little. "Got lots of cuts and burns learning."

“Normal for everyone” he giggled a little as he was walking to the fridge to keep the chocolate.

Link thought about this. "Yes, I suppose, but I think I got more than is normal because my teacher called CPS on my mom. My mom managed to divert the attention away though. So yeah." She kept hummed and tapping her feet, her head bopping to the music in her mead.

“Right…” he put on plastic gloves and began working on something by the counter. He got something from the fridge which was tightly sealed for… some reason.

Link hopped to a standing. "What can I do?"

“Uh… this is just a snack from where I’m from” he laughed a little. He started to unseal the container and a really aggressive smell came out of it.
“This is Durian, if you’re not familiar with it”

Link's eyes lit up. "I actually do know what that is! I had a friend who ate it constantly!"

Harmony had been busying herself in the back, when she smelled something off. She stuck her head out.
"That. That's a smell."

Link grinned. "One of the worst smelling foods on earth."

"I see." Harmony stepped fully into the room.

“Well… it does have a bad scent, I won’t argue with that. But the taste is quite nice” as andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) said that, he tore off a small piece and plopped it in his mouth.

Link shrugged. "Never tried it."

andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) handed the container to Link.
“Then try some, you might enjoy it like I do” he softly smiled as he said that.

Link smiled and tried to hand it back shaking her head. "No, it's your snack. I'm sureI can find it somewheres to buy with my own money. Thank you though."

“Huh… sure” andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) was not really sure how to react to that. He took off a few more small pieces before sealing it again and put it up high in the fridge so that no one can really reach it easily.

She had lied. She didn't have money to spend on even the simplest little pleasures for herself. She was just struggling to keep her mother from spending every paycheck on alcohol. She sighed internally as she kept her bright smile on. She went and started washing a few dishes that were in the sink as she tried to forget about her problems for now.

andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) looked outside at the counter.
“Ah, a customer, can anyone go take their order?” He turned to his colleagues and said that quietly so that the customer couldn’t hear him.

(Can ask about your user name?)

Link shrank against the sink, her social anxiety might kill her if she tried doing that.

Harmony stepped forward.
"I'll do it." She hurried to get to the counter.

(Indeed XD)

“Thanks Harmony-sama” andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) used a friendly-mockingly voice. He was just wanting to see Harmony’s reaction.

(Okay, is it something to do with pride month or are you literally in a closet? 'cause I do both.)

Link smiled at andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)'s teasing tone and laughed softly to herself as she dried the wet dishes.

(Ah not really. I kinda just write this in my closet. Well, earlier I was in the closet, but right now I’m in class XD)

andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) was waiting for the order. He was on his phone right now, he seemed to be talking to a family member.

Harmony walked back, the order written down. She set it infront of andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer), pointing a finger at him. She had a stern look. Suddenly, she smiled, walking back to the counter without saying a word.

(lol, it's almost 9 at night here. :D)

Link swayed a bit as she hummed a soft song under her breath. She began to sing under her breath, wanting to hear the words aloud, but not wanting to disturb anyone.
