As Seren went for a glass of water, Saiden grinned. Scooping up some of the rice, he put it in a bowl for her. "Here. This might help more than water would." Still, he poured her a glass of water too.

His grin broadened at her compliment. "Excellent!" Clearly pleased, he found himself humming cheerfully as he worked.

However, he gave her an excited look at her question. "It's not too complicated. First, you get some seaweed. It's called nori, specifically. Cut them into the right size, then brush them with some oil and sprinkle with salt. Toss them in the oven, bake them for about five minutes, then flip them."

The rice did help more, and it sated her munchies quite well too. With the bowl and the glass of water before her, Seren watched Saiden work.

It might not be very complicated, but he made the process sound very involved. Nodding that she was keeping up with the explanation, Seren nibbled some more rice.

"The green stuff was tasy. What comes next?" She made herself comfortable and smiled encourigingly at him; when her uncle got going, he could talk about food forever.

Still rolling and cutting the sushi, Saiden glanced at Seren to make sure she had everything she needed. Pausing for a moment in his work, he headed towards the pantry. Pulling out an orange, he set it in front of her.

Resuming his work, he pointed at the pot of rice. "Next, you're going to want to start cooking your rice." He grinned. "You want it to be sticky. So after you wash it well, put it in a pot to cook for twenty minutes."

Pausing, he rolled another cylinder and started cutting it. "Once that's done cooking, put some vinegar, oil, sugar, and salt in a pan. Cook it until the sugar dissolves into the rest. Then pour that mix in the rice and stir it for a while."

It was a nice little treasure trove of food that piled up around her. Apple, nuts, rice and water, and now an orange too. Seren didn't complain. She didn't look like she ate all that much or very quickly, but somehow the food vanished all the same. It could be artributed to her excellerated growth rate, perhaps, or possibly the natural high energy of her personality. Or maybe she was just a little glutton who would pay for the indulgence later in life.

Taking another bite of the rice, Seren finally realized what it was about it that tasted differently. Sweet and sour and salty, she rather liked it.

"And then you make rolls?" she guessed, watching the way he arranged foodstuffs on the rice and seaweed - the nori.

Not at all minding the amount of food Seren consumed, Saiden nodded approvingly as she scarfed it down. It cost him little, and making her happy was important to him for a variety of reasons. Nodding at her question, he set down another piece of the seaweed. "And then you make rolls." He winked at her.

Gesturing at the fish and vegetables he'd laid out, he picked up a little of each. "You can put all kinds of things in the center. Usually, people like to use some combination of raw fish and vegetables, but it's entirely up to you." He spoke passionately, odd as that might sound, but he was always thrilled to share his knowledge with a captive audience.

It was not hard to caprivate Seren, let's be real. With a combination of food, instruction and secretive winks she could be kept enraptured for hours on end. In this case, it would be until her father was done beating on whatever sparring partner he'd found at the ring, and was ready to stagger back home.

As the topic of conversation happened to be food, she wasn't likely to be bored any time soon. "Daddy likes to eat cloud manta," she told Saiden, and kicked her legs from the edge of the seat. "Is that in sushi too?"

She didn't seem very squeamish about the idea of raw fish. Actually, her reaction to eating animals at all wasn't as stark as one might expect, considering a certain incident with an earthworm and a hook.

At the mention of Ronin eating cloud manta, Saiden arched an eyebrow. "Is that so?" He hummed thoughtfully, then shrugged. "I guess you could, though I've never cooked with cloud manta before, if I'm being honest." Unsurprisingly, he didn't sound grossed about by the possibility, just curious. Indeed, his eyes had gained a bit of a gleam at the thought of cooking with a new ingredient.

Giving her a curious look, he finished chopping the latest sushi and put it on a plate. "One second." Heading towards the dining area, he put it in front of a customer that had been waiting, then swiftly returned to the kitchen. Scanning the area to make sure no food was missing, he put his hands on his hips. "What else do they feed you?"

She waited patiently while he carried off the finished food, and shrugged lightly when Saiden came back, looking at her as though she might be malnourished.

"You know. Normal food. What everyone else eats. And pancakes." She could probably give him a list of very common ingredients in any Torchline household. Ordinary, moderately healthy food - there would be no nightmare stories to find. Her dad knew what he was doing (more or less). That was not to say there wasn't the odd exception - Ronin was a hunter, after all - but it was perhaps not as common as she made it sound.

"What is your favorite food?" Somehow their talks always centered around her, and it left a whole lot of questions about Saiden. The secret adventures of the sushi pirate... Seren was eager to hear more.

Saiden grinned at Seren's answer. "I like pancakes too." Leaning forward, he dropped his voice to a whisper. "Do you ever put things in them? Like berries or chocolate?" He spoke as if this was some huge secret he was revealing to her.

However, he paused, giving her a surprised look. "You know, I don't think anyone's ever asked me that before." Frowning in a thoughtful way, he hummed. Then he smiled slowly. "I really like crab cakes." It came out equal parts shy and sly.

Giving her a happy look, he picked up a box. Putting some sushi in it, he added a small container of soy sauce, some ginger, and some wasabi. Tying it off with a nice little piece of string, he put it in front of her. "There. Something for your dads."

Her eyes glittered, always loving these secret tricks he revealed. "Not, in, but on them!" she replied, in the same theatrical whisper. "Also, sometimes there is whipped cream!" Bet he hadn't tried that, now had he!?

Seren wasn't entirely sure what a crab cake was, but it sounded strange. Not that it really mattered; she was rather pleased at having asked a question no one else thought about. It meant she knew something no one else did! Secrets really were the best.

Accepting the box full of food, Seren smiled happily back. "Thanks, uncle Saiden! A favor for you." She had never really traded before, but had seen enough of how it was done to know what she should say at a time like this. He probably didn't need her sweaty hand-wrappings, and Seren had nothing else of value on her... so a favor for later it would have to be.

"Whipped cream is excellent." Smirking, Saiden leaned in a little bit closer to Seren. "But it's even better when you sprinkle your pancake batter with some berries before you cook it." Again, he spoke quietly, as if revealing something she wasn't supposed to know just yet.

Always happy to talk about himself and food, he grinned at her. Nodding when she offered him a favor, he winked at her. "I'll be sure to collect on that soon." However, he had no such plan. Patting the box, he pushed it a little towards her. "Sushi doesn't stay good for that long, so it might be best if you deliver this to your dads soon. Plus I bet Ronin has beaten up his latest opponent by now."

She would give him the win here; that did sound very interesting. "I'll make sure to try it," she responded with a serious expression. Like she would be making them; more like she would stand beside her dad or Remi and nag until they did as she asked. But there was no question about the existence of berry-filled pancakes in her future.

Nodding a bit reluctantly, Seren picked up the box and slid off her chair. "Thanks!" she said again, and made a little wave with whatever fingers weren't occupied with the food. "Bye bye! See you around."

Already she looked forward to the surprise on Ronin's face when she handed over the treat. She'd be sure not to tell anyone who made it; some secrets were better left unsolved.
