<span style="color: SeaGreen">“Oh, she can do it, she and Diego’s ghost thing are the reason the pot Sarah is messing with is bent, she kept him from moving it around.  She just refuses to help with something ‘mundane’.”</span>He replied before doing much more with the food than finishing cutting all the vegies.  The meat was sizzling in the two pans, enough for everyone and a little extra.  He though laughed a bit though at the thought now that it was pointed out.  The computer cooking…<span style="color: SeaGreen">“Of course you may have a point.  She would probably not be able to cook anything that would taste all that good.”</span>Isis could probably follow a cookbook, and that was about it.  Anything she could cook would be edible, but probably not perfect.<br/><br/>Though, upon hearing the beginning of her next question, Nate was probably glad, though again the blush on her was kind of cute at the embarrassment that Sarah was causing.  Nate didn’t reply, just coughed into the cloth he used to have wrapped around his arm hoping to get them away from the subject.  He wasn’t exactly comfortable with where the conversation was going.<span style="color: SeaGreen">“Well, thanks for the help with starting the rice, remember to make enough for everyone.  But also, if you want to add something of your own to the meal, go right ahead.  I am sure everyone else would enjoy some more.”</span>Yeah, he wanted the conversation away from the potential of a ‘budding relationship’ that he really didn’t need.  Especially around these people.<br/><br/>He listened to what they were all saying, placing the cloth back on an empty spot on the table before getting back to what he was doing.  He took one of the spatulas and moved the small strips of chicken around the pans.  By what Sarah was saying, it sounded like she was a loner, or for some reason people avoided her.  And the look of malnourishment wasn’t enough to drive most people away.  That was a bit curious in itself.<span style="color: SeaGreen">“Well, it’s not hard for us to talk to you like it’s normal, we all have something that makes us not normal.  Why else would we be here?”</span>he paused a bit, looking up Sarah, her platinum hair, and red eyes.  Ok, maybe the weird eyes and hair would make it hard for people to get close to her, but then if he had had the crystals as long as she probably had all her powers, maybe he would have been avoided as much.  He reached up and ran his hand over the curse attached to his arm.<br/><br/><span style="color: SeaGreen">“After what has happened to me over the past few months, I doubt what you can say could really disturb me Sarah.  These things, and what they had put me through, are a pain in the ass.”</span>He said before getting back to working on his own part of the meal.  Of course almost immediately after he said that another person came into the room.  Nicole, the normal looking girl in the group.  And apparently had some actual classes on cooking.<span style="color: SeaGreen">“Good, at least someone actually had some classes in cooking.  Better than my bumbling around on my own to learn.  Stir fry is the most complicated thing I can make.  I prefer barbequing on a grill.”</span>After he finished he began picking out some of the stuff he would need to cook the rest of the stir-fry mix.  He poured some oils into the pans where the meat was and then moved the pans around to cover as much of the pan with the oil as possible.  After a moment he started adding the veggies.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
