But cooking food, I can't think of any time or place where such a skill would be difficult to find use. Lucky to have a passion for something so widely loved by all. Was it luck, or has it all been fate, to get us here? I should've spent less time lounging and more time learning... something else. I never thought fate would twist in this direction." Perched up on his shoulder, looking even further down upon the peasants milling about the two of them. Sashiko had her arms crossed, her long and fluffy tail swishing down across his back while they talked. Sashiko's behind made her a soft passenger upon his shoulder, not quite so boney as some other lads and ladies he'd heft around. She could keep her balance fine enough as is, but again, no need to bemoan his hand holding on to her thigh. His idea was... interesting, at least. She didn't know where there were any places like that to go here though. This city was absolutely massive and sprawling. She would need to leave it for that sort of work. "The wilds... This world isn't like ours. Forests do not creep upon the human dwellings, with nature so close. They've dominated the landscape, leaving leagues bare and open, ripe for tilling. It would be quite a ways away from Raven... And away from you and the rest. Far away until such a place existed." That was really her only concern.<br/><br/>Though, she did have a smug little laugh. "Poppy may know more about nature, this is true. But, does she know more about stalking it as a predator? I believe that makes quite the difference between our knowledge. But, besides that. Hmm. I shall have to think on this some more. My greatest hardship regarding this... How would I get people to know to come to me? It is one thing to provide a service, but in this place of teeming millions and millions, I am but one. How to have the people know that I could help them in this way..." While she was thinking aloud on this, Sashiko pointed over, as the lines of tall buildings broke open in to an intersection, crossing the street. "That, there. We've just passed a<em>block</em>. It's not a strict unit of measurement. It's used in cities such as this, where the open road for iron carriages crosses and breaks-up their immense buildings. Where the road surrounds a groupings of building, that's a block. It measures distance, without needing to be exact," Sashiko explained.<br/><br/>An idea then came to Sashiko, entirely unrelated to the lesson on city-distance measurements. "Ah!" Her face goes alight again, the spark of realization coming to mind as two concepts of a foreign land mash together in her head. Though, the smile and look on her face can't be seen this time around by Pharon, for two very large reasons blocking his gaze from below. "I may have a solution to being unknown. Though it is still somewhat... strange to me. Through the magic of the phone, there are those who will post these pictures of themselves? Though, it tends to be more risque, but still mostly clothed, for the public to look upon. They do this to garner attention to themselves, and provide a private realm that the masses must pay to see. In those, its much naughtier pictures they display. Now, I needn't go<em>that</em>far... but perhaps the first public part... maybe that could help with the business idea." She uncrossed her arms, giving a couple pats to the top of Pharon's shining dome. "Your idea is coming clearer now, I think!" He could tell at least that she warming up to it through the smile in her tone.<br/><br/>As they walked and talked, the grocery store was coming upon them. It's parking lot was in sight in the distance.
