Ophidian smiled and nodded.<span style="color: #00b300">"im glad to help. hey you said you wanted to learn new things, you can learn their recipes and if you want to try something new cook it for your boss and let him, or her, try it. if they like it they may add it to the menu and that way you can still have crative freedom and everyone can win. you just have to find a boss willing to try new things."</span>he nodded and smiled.<span style="color: #00b300">"that is my hope. that the more people i help the more they will talk and hopefully that will get them to stop fearing me and accept my presence. the children are generally curious, its the parents who teach them to be afraid of things they see as monsters... and being honest, my people were monsters and needed to be feared. but one woman did surprise me, she brought her son to me first. thankfully i was able to save his life, he had fallen from high up a tree and hit several branches on the way down, most of his ribs were broken... though i had to refuse her payment, the only thing she had was her body and i couldnt accept that so i gave her money to help care for the boy."</span>he smirked and shook his head.<span style="color: #00b300">"Kitori thinks they are adorable and wont let me. apprently she had never seen a live chicken before so now they are her pets."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
