Well, I suppose I should try and buy some ingredients for preparing dinner. It would be a nice way to repay my debt, hmm...

[There is one Aidan Collins in front of the grocery store, pondering what to buy. Despite how at ease he seems to be, he got out of jail just because he was sold as a slave; and promptly bought by Cain and Rufus.]

	[Cain might as well be a slave :( He has a list of things to get for his mother that he keeps having to double check because he doesn't know what half of it is. He's on a collision course with Aidan since he isn't paying attention to where he's going.] I thought a potato was just a potato... (Reply to this)(Thread)

	My apologies, I suppose it was troublesome of me to just stand there without moving. It's odd to see someone as important as you here-- did something happen? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It's very nice of you to help her. Do you need anything? I heard you were muttering something about potatoes. If I could, I'd be glad to help you, sir. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

[Well, since you asked--]

I thought a potato was just a potato. Like there was only one kind of potato. A potato. Not a--

[Checks his list.]

A sweet potato. That sounds gross. Potatos aren't supposed to taste sweet, they're supposed to taste like potatos. Besides, do you just buy a potato or do they come in some kind of can? She didn't write that down. She didn't even write how many she wanted, she just wrote sweet potato. She must have been-- F-furthermore, what does a potato look like? Aren't they either in small pieces or mashed? At least, those are the kinds that get served to me.

[Aidan stares at him for a long, long while. Truthfully, he never bothered to learn if there was a difference in types of potatoes. When he had to cook, he only grabbed what he thought were the necessary ingredients, and if he felt brave enough, he would have added something random in the mix. Cain was raising very serious questions, and he didn't know the answer to some of them. He moved a hand on his chin, and started to think]

I suppose it's true, potatoes should taste like potatoes, not sweet. I know they come in, ah... bags. I believe there are at least 8 of them in each bag.

	[He is staring at Aidan like he is the God of potatos.] Bags? I guess that makes sense. I normally don't go shopping like this, so I'm not sure how they sell a lot of things. I'm not even good at cooking. I wonder what she's going to do with a bag of potatos? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	serviam 2009-03-24 07:26 pm UTC (link)
	Perhaps she has to cook something with a good number of potatoes. Is there anything else on that list? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	[Checking again!] Cauliflower? That's odd to put a kind of flower on a grocery list. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	serviam 2009-03-24 07:32 pm UTC (link)
	Oh Cauliflower is not a flower, it's a vegetable, sir! I suppose she has to make a stew. I usually put tomatoes in it, too, perhaps she forgot to add them to the list? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	1/2 dixi 2009-03-24 07:35 pm UTC (link)
	That's a stupid name for a vegetable. Ah... No, she didn't put that on, but she put down carrots, cucumber, and-- (Reply to this)(Parent)

	dixi 2009-03-24 07:37 pm UTC (link)
	--Whisky, gin, and rum. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	serviam 2009-03-24 07:38 pm UTC (link)
	How curious, I never put them in a stew. I suppose I should try. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dixi 2009-03-24 07:39 pm UTC (link)
	Why would you even want to? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	serviam 2009-03-24 07:41 pm UTC (link)
	If it's in a reciepe, it must be good. Actually, I was planning on preparing something good for Rufus and his family, to thank them. Ah, of course, I need to thank you as well. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dixi 2009-03-24 07:43 pm UTC (link)
	I don't think it's in the recipe. Anyway, you don't have to thank me for anything at all. Really, it was the least I could do. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

[He shakes his head]

That's not true at all. I am honored that you went to such lengths for my sake, despite my betrayal. I will never be able to pay off this debt, but I fully intend to. Although I can no longer work by your side in the military, please, remember that I will do anything I can to help you, no matter when, or how. Even if it might involve the use of magic.

While it's true that your betrayal did cause for some unfortunate incidents, if it weren't for your actions that night they could very well have taken me off and killed me. Because of you, I was able to be next to my brother when he woke up for the first time. I can't thank you enough for that.

[Because as much as it sucked what Aidan did, if it wasn't for that night and if Ares didn't get shot, they might still be at the same place they were for years now. It's scary to think about.]

	Well, I-- did what was right to do. I would have never been able to forgive myself if something happened to you, Captain. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
