Nate looked over as Sara went on about her life mostly, and why she couldn’t really cook.  She had never really cooked for herself by the sounds of it.  So she was homeless.  Not hard to understand why she looked as unhealthy as she did.  She really did have nowhere near enough to eat on a daily basis, not a real chance to keep herself healthy such as exercise.    But then, with her tone of voice when she talked about this, Nate guessed that Sarah didn’t really give a fuck about it.  Then it came to actually hiding the signs of their powers.<span style="color: SeaGreen">“Or just lie and say it is currently dyed and wearing contacts.  But some of us the only way we can hide it is to make it obvious we are hiding something.”</span><br/><br/>About then is when Mimi came in and took Sarah’s attention.  That worked at ending a conversation.  Almost before he could realize it, Nate was pushed out of his position in front of the stove, and the cooking pans.  He had already backed away from the cooking pans when he realized it.<span style="color: SeaGreen">“Um… ok…”</span>he muttered as he moved away to finish with the vegetables.<span style="color: SeaGreen">“I already have them diced, though I only peeled the carrots before cutting them.  The peppers I have never peeled before cutting… but that is why I asked Jenny for help with the rice, so I could cook it all without burning them.  They would have burned if I had left it alone to get the rice working…”</span>he paused, moving back to the cutting board.<span style="color: SeaGreen">“…I can finish the vegetables then… still have the onions to cut.”</span>He let her have the stove itself.<br/><br/>He began working on the onions, since they were the last ones he had to cook.  The mushrooms, peppers, carrots and spring beans were done.   Though he did pull out the bag of baby and poured some of those out to add as well before he started cutting the onions.  Doing his best to do as Nicole said, to cut them really thin.  The amount that he had cut, and the amount of meat that was already in the pans was more than enough for everyone.  It was more like he had enough there for a few extra people.<br/><br/>Nate couldn’t miss though how Jenny decided to try using her tentacles to work with the pan instead of her hands.<span style="color: SeaGreen">“Interesting way to use those things.  At least your powers can be used for something more that hurting others.”</span>The way he said that last part sounded like there was something more to it than just a fear.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
