Boston, Massachusetts [Friday Daytime]

[so_hawkward]

Normally Friday is a great day, but this week it means the amount of break time is dwindling, so now is your chance to get all the fall break fun in that you can! The weather was still cool and sunny, and there was plenty to do!

"Touché," Dwight said with a chuckle. "I will consider the gauntlet thrown down then! I picked up a few names for possible suppliers so might be getting some special order wood and such soon. So be prepared for some stiff competition" he added with a slight grin.

"Always," said Amaya, with a firm nod and a lift of her chin in confidence.

Confidence in her ability to handle anything that Dwight might throw her way in that regard, and confidence that they may have finally cleared the woods of any unexpected emotional detours for the time being, but she was just going to go ahead and take a nice big bite of her sandwich to prevent her from saying anything more that might shake that confidence.

Dwight nodded as he took a drink of whatever non-alcoholic thing had been left in the mini fridge by that point and finished the sandwich in relative silence. He flashed a thumbs up again to Amaya with the final bite and gave a satisfied groan.

"This trip has spoiled me" he said as he leaned back in the chair slightly. "All this amazing food. I'm gonna have to buckle down and really build on the basics Ignis is teaching us in that class and I'm gonna have to get better at cooking. Not sure I can go back to frozen dinners and mac n cheese after this week" he added with a chuckle.

That relative silence was quite possibly the most tense Amaya had ever sat through, though she tried to focus on her own sandwich in the interrim and not start panicking every time Dwight opened his mouth, waiting for the moment that, instead of taking another bite, he decided to go and say stuff like thatnothing of the sort was palpable, and, feeling she didn't need to keep it around as a quick excuse to shove something in her mouth as an excuse to not say anything, she finished up her own sandwich with a similarly appreciative sigh, leaning back in her chair with a hand over her stomach.

"Was never really bothered much with cooking, myself," she said. "Been doing it since I was a girl, really." For reasons that would not and may hopefully never be mentioned, thank you very much! Don't even think about it! "But I keep it pretty simple, too, nothing fancy or anything like that."

She could only assume Ignis was only capable of strictly fancy foods.

"I'm pretty sure we are giving poor Ignis near aneurisms in the class. Watching some of us murder pasta, potatoes, and beans has got to be tough. Though, if I can brag on myself a little, I am not the worst one in the class so there might be hope for me at last."

Though it really was high time he figured out how make more than his daughter's old favorite foods without almost setting his apartment on fire. He'd be a long way off from these sorts of meals of course but anything would be an upgrade at this point.
