[There's a delicious aroma wafting out of the windows of House 42. Whatever it is, it smells fantastic. Curiously peeking into the windows won't help you find out what it is, though, as the chef seems to have fallen asleep on the kitchen table, exhausted. Apparently the last event tuckered him out and it's only catching up to him now.]

Or maybe he's taking advantage of my awesome curry.

Obviously, I'm here to do both. I can multi-task when needed.

Honestly, you should stop in more often. [She takes a seat at the table once the cups are set up.] It makes it easier to keep track of you that way.

[Albert talks over his shoulder as he washes his hands.]

You make it sound as if he hides out in a cave all day, Professor.

He might as well be doing exactly that, really.

What kind of person do you think I am? I have a house to hide out in.

It's true. [Her tone is teasing.] You've been known to hide in caves before. Who's to say you haven't furnished one by now?

[Albert returns to the dining area after drying his hands, looking at the dinner spread in approval. It's always nice when Genis is in charge of cooking.]

I suppose there are some conveniences that would be missed in the confines of a cave.

Like actual human contact? And edible food?

Actually, the one thing preventing me from going back to that cave now is that my housemate won't be too happy if I tried. For some reason, people are obsessed with keeping an eye on me.

Well, it's good to know that someone is.

[And now Albert joins the rest at the table.] Indeed. With the way Luceti is, it helps to have normal contacts so that you don't simply vanish on us.

[Yuan just gives a sigh.]

I know that.

[Well now that they're all seated, they can begin eating, at least.]

A little reminder every once in a while hardly hurts, Yuan. Perhaps you should even consider making one of those announcements that seem to be popular, lately.

The ones about making friends? It seems a little desperate, to say the least.

I hardly see a need to resort to that. After more than a year, I have plenty of acquaintances in the village, whether I like it or not.

[May he start on the food now? It smells so good...]

I suppose it's one way for people to take advantage of the calm between experiments and new cycles. [She shakes her head a little.] Hehe. If you insist.

Between the experiments and cycles, we're kept fairly busy. It's been awhile since we made progress in learning about things outside of the village.

It's hard to take advantage of the few chances we get, though.

We simply have to outline our goals and stick to them within... a reasonable time frame.

Considering how long it takes to get out to the desert... [He shakes his head, trailing off so he can instead focus on the food.]

[Yes, food, let's focus on that. We can't let Genis' hard work go to waste.]

I'm sure we'll manage something. [She starts to focus on the food as well. Though seems a little distracted now that the tone of the conversation's started to change.]

[Oh, Raine. You and your work-focused mind. Such a downer.

Genis' food is delicious as usual.]

[Yeah, way to kill the mood, Raine. In front of a guest, too. You should be ashamed.

But boy, this sure is good curry. Yuan hasn't eaten this good in years.]
