what's the best way to serve whale?

am hungee

Can’t attest—I have not eaten whale.

Muktuk is a traditional Inuit food. It’s skin and blubber usually from bowheads (but also beluga and narwhal) that’s diced small and often eaten raw. It can also be prepared in other ways like frying or pickling. Very high in Vitamin D & C.

Turning to my 19th c. American whalers, it being my schtick and all, they tended to not be particularly interested in eating whale. Nor were whales hunted for meat. But sometimes the odd recipe comes out here and there. John Martin, whaler on the Lucy Ann, 1840s talked about ‘roasting the top of a whale’s head’ that they were otherwise processing.

“The top of a right whale’s head is covered with barnacles & small crabs. When roasted they are good eating. They also take part of his lip and render it out in the hot oil. When eaten with pepper & vinegar it tastes very much like soused tripe.”

Mary Lawrence, whaling wife on the Addison, 1850s also mentioned eating whale up North:

“We have been eating bowhead meat for several days, made with pork into sausage cakes, also fried, and it is really good eating, far before salt pork in my estimation.”

J.E. Haviland, greenhand on the Baltic 1850s shared a similar recipe for porpoise, which is similar enough.

“We had it for Breakfast this morning. The way it is prepared at sea is to take + hash it up very fine seasoned with sage pepper + salt and then made in small balls + fried or baked in pork + I can say from experience it is proper good.”

William Tripp, boatsteerer on the John R. Manta, 1920s,

“The meat was cooked as steaks, while some was ground and made into 'whalemeat balls.' It was eaten by all hands and much relished as the first frest meat since leaving port."

John Ross Browne, writer on an unnamed whaler in the 1840s, talked about snacks whilst trying out. In addition to frying saltwater-soaked sea biscuits and celebratory donuts in the whale oil, sometimes whalers would eat the leftover ‘cracklings’, i.e. crispy bits of whale skin left over after the process, as well as:

“Sometimes, when on friendly terms with the steward, they make fritters of the brains of the whale mixed with flour, and cook them in the oil. These are considered a most sumptuous delicacy. Certain portions of the whale's flesh are also eaten with relish, though, to my thinking, not a very great luxury, being coarse and strong. Mixed with potatoes, however, like " porpoise balls," they answer very well for variety. A good appetite makes almost any kind of food palatable. I have eaten whale-flesh at sea with as much relish as I ever ate roast-beef ashore.”

Not everyone’s into it, though. When John Langdon and other crew members aboard the St. Peter, 1840s, came to air grievances about the captain expecting them to be content with eating spoiled beef, the captain,

“rowse[d] up a little telling us how he had lived on whale and blackfish meat for a time on the Nor’west; but this would not go down with us and we demanded state’s allowance. He saw we were in good earnest so after while concluded to give us good beef.”

And lastly, from Moby-Dick, Stubb’s preferred method of cooking whale steak which he berated the cook with:

“Hold the steak in one hand, and show a live coal to it with the other; that done, dish it; d’ye hear?”

#people can expect that if they send a silly ask I will still answer with Primary Sources and a narrative arc.#asks #anonymous #awhalin

Hello talviel! How do the cuisines of the Morrowind great houses vary from another? does ashlander cuisine vary from house dunmer cuisine?

House Redoran

Redoran cooking is slightly heartier, featuring dishes like Hound and Rat pie or Crab Meat and Scuttle. As a major force on Raven Rock, Redoran cuisine places a lot of emphasis on easily available ingredients, such as fish, horker, and ash yams as opposed to the more traditional varied ingredients of mainland Morrowind. Mudcrab and fish stew with saltrice, ash yam and kwama egg fritters, and horker roast with comberry jam and fried ash yams are some of the dishes you'll find dining with a Redoran.

House Telvanni

House Telvanni is known for its exquisite cuisine based around nourishing herbs and roots. Infused with all sorts of alchemy I'm not privy to (and never will be), every Telvanni kitchen boasts whole cupboards of mysterious spices and herbs with special flavours and properties. Double-boiled gingko chicken soup, nix-hound braised with dried comberries and ginseng, and saltrice congee with sliced fish and pickled ginger are typical dishes you'll find in mushroom towers. Canis Root Tea adds a nice touch to any Telvanni meal too, especially with a bit of sweet marshmerrow!

House Hlaalu

Hlaalu food is always satisfying, and utilises more foreign ingredients than other Houses due to their success in trade. While staple meats and vegetables like nix-hound and hackle-lo are still on the table, Hlaalus are just as likely to have goat or even beef. Dishes would include kwama egg pie with a butter (as opposed to scuttle) crust, fried saltrice with pork and Hammerfell spices, and braised abalone and hackle-lo in Pellitine oyster sauce. And of course, Balmora Cabbage Biscuits, stuffed with nix-hound and spiced cabbage, are the ideal Hlaalu travel snack.

House Indoril

Standard fare for House Indoril is very much traditional Dunmeri food as we know it, which comes as no surprise due to their political leanings. Based out of Mourhold, the House consumes less seafood than others on coastal or island Morrowind, due to their relatively inland location. Kagouti and guar are the most popular meats, making pulled kagouti stew, guar meatball and scuttle gratin, and steamed scrib cabbage stuffed with minced meat standard fare.

House Dres

As is to be expected, House Dres meals are primarily based on saltrice. Whether it's saltrice crackers, bread, porridge, or straight up steamed saltrice, this is the House that has figured out everything imaginable that you can do with the plant. Fried saltrice with crispy scrib, saltrice soup with ash yams and trama root, and kwama egg omelette stuffed with spiced saltrice are delicious meals you'll find as a guest at any Dres farm.

And while it shouldn't be mentioned, it should anyway. You can read more about Sixth House cuisine here.

You can also read about Ashlander cuisine on p. 20-23 of my compendium.

Hi !!! I’ve been playing this game since I was a kid but I still don’t get the lore a lot lmao. I remember you posting something like “all these people wanna live in the fairyground. They don’t know.” I’ve been wondering what’s up with it to make in uninhabitable?

see the fairyground seems great in theory. in fact it's one of my favourite towns. all the little stalls lined up. it's a little street market. surely there's some great food there

list of things that fairies canonically eat:

lice cream

sweatshakes

hair cakes

spit rissoles

"milky barf" (???)

fish lips (served with hundreds and thousands)

squirrel's faces

chocolate coated kidneys

toenail fritters

NOTE: this list is non-exhaustive. THERE ARE MORE OF THESE. i just don't have them to hand right now. you could probably get some normal food there (drippy mentions they love crab. no comment on if there's. fucking. chocolate sauce or whatever on them. he also eats a babana with the skin at one point) so you COULD live there. but the SMELL dude.

you do not wanna live in the fairyground.

This week in foraging:

F asked me to stop by walmart and pick up apples - which confused the heck out of me because we both believe walmart eats time and their produce sucks, until I realized she meant the apple trees you can walk to from the walmart parking lot. I made two batches of apple fritters and dehydrated some apples (which we have eaten already)

During hikes we sampled various crab apples which ranged from the bitterest crabapple I have ever tasted to sweet but tiny little striped apples.

I had to hike amost to the edge of the nearest state park, but I finally found unsmashed giant puffballs. There were at least 10 in the area, and I took home one of the smallest but my house is still full of puffball. I have made soup, dehydrated a bunch, and still have a good-sized wedge in the fridge. I might try going back for one later when I have more time because I'd love to try making a puffball lasagna, but IDK if that'll happen this year because we're always overwhelmed.

I also collected some milkweed pods to try to plant in our yard for next season.

For the Fantasy Asks (for whichever wip you feel fits best):

WITCH - What sparked the idea for this world?

and only natural to follow a witch with a

CAULDRON - Give me a fantasy food!

--@ceph-the-ghost-writer

hi Ceph! thanks for the ask (that i've let sit in my inbox for ages 😅). i'll answer for the world of The Art of Empty Space:

witch

the story of AES, i guess! i don't really tend to start with worldbuilding; most of the time, i have an idea for a story (or, more often, for a character or dynamic) and build the world around it. if the world i build for one story happens to work with another, great; more often, though, each story has its own world. so this particular world came from my spur-of-the-moment decision to write a "beauty and the beast" type story, which promptly spiraled out of control into something else (as tends to happen).

cauldron

seafood fritters are a specialty of the southern province, and Lienzo's favorite food. they're intended to be versatile, and can be made by mixing any type of seafood (although firmer seafoods tend to work better) into a thin batter (optionally with shredded vegetables to bulk it out) and frying on a griddle with any high-smoke-point oil. in Lienzo's hometown of Minadore, they're most often made with sea snails. this sea snail version is especially popular in midsummer, when the mooncrabs drift in for their mating season. the snails, having eaten bioluminescent crab eggs and larvae, will glow as well (and continue to do so for several hours after death). these fresh 'moon fritters' are commonly served on the summer solstice.

Best Food to Eat at Changi Village Hawker Centre.

If you find yourself on the east coast of Singapore, or are simply hunting down an area that offers a plethora (and variety) of different types of food, you’ll want to head to the Changi Village area. Not only is the super popular Changi Village Hawker Centre here where you’ll find an array of cuisines for super affordable prices, but there are many other eateries and cafes that are in close proximity, making things super convenient for an expedition of eating!

From seafood to local favourites, foods from around the world and more!

1. In the mood for seafood?: Tekong Seafood Restaurant

Why is it whenever one is near the ocean, the idea of feasting on seafood sounds so appealing?! This is one of our personal favourites to visit around Changi for whenever our craving hits! Plus, all of their produce is caught fresh, on the daily, by local fisherman.

We recommend their Chili Crab (chef’s kiss), or we’ll usually order the Bamboo Clams in Vermicelli too.

Stall number: #01-03

2. Favourites and the classics from around the world: Jacob’s Cafe

This is one of those dining spots that simply can’t be missed when visiting the centre, especially if you’re feeling a wonderful, homely cooked meal, you know, comfort food!

Their menu, in general, is really extensive, serving breakfast to dinner. There are western favourites, german classics, stews and curries, english-style pies, desserts and even a kids menu. Some of their signatures to try? You can’t go wrong with Oxtail Stew or try their Hainanese Braised Pork Knuckles.

Stall number: #01-2049

3. Craving Malaysian food? (Open till 12am on weekends): Wing Kee Original Taste Ipoh Hor Fun

With borders still closed, if you’re used to frequently hopping over to Johor for your fix of Malaysian cuisine you’ll be happy to know there’s a local Malaysian stall inside and they serve up truly authentic dishes.

They’re known for their Ho/Hor Fun (a homely meal made with meat (usually beef or chicken), veggies and chewy flat noodles, but their protein of choice is a delicious, deep-fried crispy and juicy chicken cutlet!

Stall number: #01-19

4. Heading to a completely different side of the world: The French Stall

When you think about french cuisine, two of the most popular thoughts are ‘fine-dining’ and ‘fancy’, am I right?

Getting rid of stereotypes, enjoy bistro-style French classics from scallops to onion soup. We recommend checking out their Special 3-Course Sets, including duck and seafood options, which are really affordable and start at $43.

P.s. They’re closed on Mondays.

Stall number: #01-2051

5. There’s always a long waiting-line here for a reason…: International Nasi Lemak

There’s something so more-ish about a good, fragrant coconut rice, and when it comes with a side of crispy fried chicken, it’s a pretty genius combination in my humble opinion.

Nasi Lemak is another dish synonymous with Malaysia, and although you won’t get yours served on a pandan leaf here, it’s still a great pick to get your fix. Theirs is served with a fried egg, sambal and perfectly crisp ikan bilis (white anchovy).

Stall number: #01-03

6. The old name for Bangkok city: Pranakorn

Thai food has become one of the most well-known cuisines around the world, especially when it comes to street-food type fare!

Tuck into all of the popular favourites, offered in a variety of proteins from chicken to prawns, they’ve got a long list of items to choose from. From Thai curry to your favourite tom yum, papaya salad, deep fried chicken wings and much, much more!

Stall number: #01-2086

7. The perfect snack: Mei Xiang Goreng Pisang (美香炸香蕉）

We’ve got to admit, we never leave Changi without grabbing one, or three, of these perfectly crisp banana fritters…what we love about them most is that they’re not over-oily either, giving them that satisfying crunch.

This is a great snack to munch on or quick filler in between meals, especially if you’re a fan of sweet and salty snacks/treats!

Stall number: #01-51

8. On the hunt for a spot inside the centre with a bit more ambience?: Little Island Brewing Company

You might want to consider this option, as unlike many of the hawker-stall type setups around, there are rows of picnic tables, benches and chairs set up as part of the microbrewery.

Yup, here you’ll find a divine selection of craft beers, as well as a menu with something for everyone, from local classics to international favourites, light bites, seafood and morning. They serve from breakfast through to dinnertime.

FYI. It’s located right beside Tekong Seafood (see #1).

Stall number: #01-01/02

9. You might want to consider sharing a meal here..: Woon Woon Pek Beehoon

Just wait until you see how huge their bowls of seafood are here!

They specialise in seafood bee hoon (which refers to white vermicelli noodles), with the options of prawn, sliced fish, scallops and even crayfish bee hoon! Or you can order their Seafood Platter!

Stall number: #01-52

10. Oysters for $5!: 坤記 Kun Kee

Straight to the point, Kun Kee specialises in two signature and loved Singaporean dishes in particular; oysters and carrot cake.

You have the option of ordering either black or white carrot cake, which arrives perfectly golden with a generous helping of carrot inside the actual cake, or try their fried oysters or specialty oyster omelettes. Their oysters are fresh, juicy and again, they add a liberal amount of oysters to their omelette.

Stall number: #01-47

11. A super popular street food in Singapore: Jason’s Place

Ah, the beloved satay and at Jason’s you’ll find skewered sticks in a variety of different meats and proteins.

Try their Pork Belly satay sticks (pork belly is ideal for grilling, when the fatty bits turn extra crispy and charred), mutton sticks, chicken breasts, satay chicken wings, and even otak-otak (a Southeast Asian fish cake made from ground up fish meat filled with spices and wrapped in banana leaf).

Stall number: #01-54

12. The Armyboys favourite: Mei Lin Yin Pin i.e. Commando Jelly

Although the english name was never officially given by the store themselves, most locals refer to this sweet dessert spot as the commando jelly stall.

The do serve red jelly dessert but there’s a story behind it actually, and somewhat of a local secret if you may…Located near Changi Village is an army camp and from way back when till now, whenever the army recruits come to Changi for a bite to eat, they always request the red jelly dessert, hence its name!

Stall number: #01-2054

13. Halal desserts and treats: The Finest Tea Shop

Don’t let the name fool you, although they do serve divine teas here, including chai lattes, their speciality lies in delicious sweet baked treats, from cupcakes to meringues.

But if you aren’t in the mood for something sweet, this cafe also sells savoury bites like smoked salmon sarmies, burgers, and more!

Stall number: #01-2060

14. There’s a variety of traditional nasi dishes to choose from here: Mizzy Corner

Operating since 1997, you can rest assured this kitchen knows what they’re doing when it comes to creating the perfect nasi lemak or nasi goreng.

They use ultra-fragrant Jasmine rice in all of their dishes and they even offer Nasi Lemak bento sets. And if you’ve arrived with a group of friends, or a big appetite, we recommend ordering the Nasi Ambeng Dulang, which comes with an assortment of side dishes and is ideal for sharing!

Stall number: #01-26

15. If you’ve arrived earlier in the daytime: Chock Full Of Beans

Or are looking for a weekend breakfast spot, grab a seat at this cutesy cafe, known for its drinks made into adorable characters…even pikachu!

Apart from the (doremon) art lattes and fun foamy friends, there’s some delicious breakfast, brunch and even lunch options. We recommend the Eggs Benedict which is always a winner, or their Seafood Cheesy Omelette with Lobster Bisque!

Stall number: #01-2090

16. YeeeeHaaaa: des By ASTONS

Best put your cowboy boots on for this one, just kidding, but you may feel transported back to the era of westerns when cowboys still ruled barren lands (this is the theme here after all).

Unsurprisingly they have a heavy focus on meats and proteins, but their true passion lies in steak…so if you love your red meat we’d suggest going with one of their ‘Legendary Steak’ options, like wagyu! There’s also chicken and seafood on the menu too.

Stall number: #01-2001

17. All ingredients are fresh and homemade: Makan Melaka

Cendol is one of those desserts that can literally be spotted all over Southeast Asia, from Singapore to Brunei, Vietnam to Thailand.

Grab a bowl of the cold dessert, best eaten chilled, with typical green spaghetti jelly rands (made from rice flour) and here its topped with red beans, corn and pieces of durian fruit. Each ingredient is made by hand by the owner, even the palm sugar!

FYI. It’s not as common to add coconut milk to cendol in Singapore and this spot is no different, so be surprised when you see it missing, it’s intentional!

Stall number: #01-2046

18. Their hor fun is made with bitter gourd: Wong Hing Kitchenette

Surprisingly this is one of the only Chinese restaurants you’ll find inside the centre, and here they focus on Cantonese-style zi char.

Although their menu isn’t extensive, they bring all the homey classics including hor fun (with sliced beef or fish) and other favourites such as Fried Black Pepper rice with salmon and Hong Kong style fried noodles.

Stall number: #01-43

19. Lively and vibey: Hanamco

Not a hawker stall, this is actually a cocktail bar – although they do serve western and fusion-style food on their menu.

Dubbing themselves as a ‘gastrobar’, they’re a popular spot for tourists and locals to grab a seat and watch the latest live sport matches happening globally, so if you’re looking for some peace and quiet, we suggest trying elsewhere.

Stall number: #01-2045 As you can see there’s plenty of options to feast on, and something to suit all cravings. Do arrive with an empty stomach, trust us, you’ll regret it later if not!

I began my #TapiHour at Tapizon greeted by Dan behind the bar shaken me up a Três Lima [Cachaça, Lemon, Tangerine, Lime & Sugar] Caipirinha with their Caipi-Pop lemon-lime popsicle. How can you not love a boozy pop in the summer?

Then Chef Leo’s welcomed me with an off-menu Maryland-style crab cakes atop an insanely delicious curry sauce topped with chili oil and citrus segments. I wanted to lick the plate and I’m told it will be coming soon for your culinary enjoyment.

While imbibing on another delicious (and my personal fave of the day) cocktail — their Beijo [Hibiscus infused house cachaça, rum, fresh lemon juice and vanilla bean] their “Cheesy Dice” (Dadinho de Tapioca) was highly suggested so I acquiesced. The Cheesy Dice are crispy, fluffy, bubbly tapioca cheese fritters with a umami blast of spicy sweet açaí sauce. Not my cup of tea due to consistency but the sauce is divine.

Happy Hour is Tuesdays-Fridays 330p-6p. The vibe is as if South America was dropped into the South Bay. Inside and out the restaurant aesthetics is like a living work of art. The menu is an eclectic Brazilian Asian fusion that the delightful, talented creative owner calls, Tropi-Cali. I can’t wait to return for lunch (1130a-330p Friday-Saturday) or brunch on Sunday! #TapiHour #happyhour #elsegundo #downtownelsegundo #Brazilian #AsianFusion #SouthBayLA #foodie

[DE] Wherein the unit gets takeout

"Yo Kit," McLaine yells over the open space, "we're ordering from the new Seolite place down the street. What's your poison?"

Kim pointedly does not freeze, and slides his desk drawer closed like the words didn't kick a storm of conflicting emotions inside of him.

"Ah, I don't have a preference, officer," he says mildly, and makes busy with the files left on his desk. There aren't many; he's a tidy person. Presently a curse.

He does have a preference, though. It'd be hard not to. A Vacholiere of forty-four such a him has had more than a few opportunities to try a wide variety of restaurants. And Revachol isn't a stranger to foreign foods--though who are they foreign to, really? A city of immigrants, Revachol is home to many able to lay a claim of familiarity to the purportedly unconventional.

There have been cassava fritters, handouts from an old man near his childhood district that used to take pity on his scrawny teens. Crab cakes from a classmate, shared in spontaneous and welcome goodwill. Tapioca burritos, wet with sweet condensed milk, a gesture of appeasement from an overwhelmed grandmother when Kim was working in Juvie. Later, pita bread and doner kebabs would often make office of meals to the Kimball. And, in-between, late night noodle broths on too tall bar stools; skewers of fried tofu from street vendors around the corner; Dai's dumplings, painstakingly handmade in Kim's kitchen, his grin unabashed before Kim's misshaped results...

"Kim," calls a voice over his right shoulder.

It's Harry. He's holding a plastic bag up for Kim to see, head angled towards the office tables pressed together in the middle of the room. McLaine appears busy arguing with Torson over the ownership of the food they've already unloaded.

"Ah, yes. Thank you."

Turns out, Harry took care of ordering for him. Kim's handed stir fried rice with chicken and cashew nuts. It's satisfyingly spiced, the sort of kick Kim takes smug satisfaction in enjoying. He almost denied himself, at some point, out of sheer spite--

"Shit, I don't know how you can bear the heat. Fucking Seolites, man," Rémi marveled with a laugh.

--but in the end, he keeps indulging.

Harry doesn't say any of the sort. Truthfully, it wasn't like he was able to say much of anything at all, the first time he stole some of Kim's food. Face still blotched, looking up at Kim with wonder in his eyes, all his effort went into choking out the usual question.

"How are you so cool?"

Kim takes his rice and stabs a fork in it. Heidelstam falters from where he's snapping his own chopsticks free, and visibly refrains from commenting on it.

"The fuck are you doing," Dai asked, horrified laughter tight in his throat.

"...Eating?"

"I mean, you can try? But why would you eat rice with a fork? Dolores, but I've got so much to teach you."

"How do you find your meal, Lieutenant?" Minot asks him, a companionable smile on her face. There's a spot of sauce near her chin from where a recalcitrant noodle decided to fight back.

Across the table, Torson pulls himself straighter. For some reason, the Sargent often seems eager for his opinion. "Yes, does it get your seal of approval?"

The rice is fat and sticky; the cashews crunch pleasantly under Kim's teeth. Kim takes time to chew and blinks slowly before he speaks.

"It's good, Sargent" he says mildly. "Do you want some?"

McLaine snorts. "Don't encourage him or you'll have nothing left to eat."

The partners bicker. Kim goes back to his meal. He doesn't dislike these people, really. It's been months, now; they have a rapport. Minot and him share the very necessary responsibility of being a stabilizing, mild-mannered presence in the unit, as well as a core belief in doing right by Revachol's people. Jean respects him, too, sometimes in an envious, sympathetic sort of way, like he's just waiting for Harry's other shoe to drop and he feels duty-bound to warn Kim of the tripping hazard when that happens. For his part, Torson has decided to project the most incomprehensible hero worship onto him, and McLaine doesn't call him Kimball. He tried. Once.

They now have an understanding.

He will still shorten Kim's name to Kit so long as he feels he's far away enough to escape any swift retaliation.

Truthfully, Kim likes them.

Harry leans over, breath flavored with cilantro, scallions and beef.

"They thought it'd make you happy," he says, tone surprisingly, diplomatically, insightfully neutral.

Kim doesn't reply. He spots dark, chewy mushrooms in Harry's dish before he turns back to his own meal. He doesn't think his attention went unnoticed. Harry has a way of seeing things.

Sure enough, some beats later, fat mushrooms start piling up on the discarded lid of Kim's takeout box.

Harry's using chopsticks. One in each hand.

In return, Kim tilts his container in a silent offer. The bark of laughter that follows is neither unexpected nor unwelcome.

"Ah! Hell no, you won't catch m--" Harry pauses, blinks, briefly lost in one of his whirlwinds of thoughts, then grins, all teeth. Kim wonders if it's the Expression, the one his partner once confessed to having struggled so much to tame. If so, it's not too bad. Disturbingly compelling, actually.

With spiced chicken speared on a chopstick, Harry stands, making a whole performance out of it. That, too, is up for the par. "Alright, baby! let's see how the dies roll today!"

Wherever the dies are, it appears they land poorly. Harry chokes, flushes. He sways under the heavy slaps Torson sees fit to lay on his back. He's laughing himself silly in spite of the pain.

When Heidelstam's glass of water fails to bring any relief, Jean pushes the sugar box from the coffee room right under Harry's nose.

"Fucking shitkid," he says, but he's smiling, a bit. "Eat a cube."

Harry eats five.

Kim eats a mushroom and knows next time Harry orders for him, he'll have more than enough of those to spare.

Felicita: Sounds intereting!

Nova: Yeah. It’s my first time seeing it too

Felicita: There’s plenty of cute ones

Nova: …Should we try it?

Nova: It’s a chace to experience a foreign custom

Felicita: Okay

Nova: Let me know if you see anything you want

Felicita: They’re all so cute…

Nova: It’ll be hard to pick with so many

Felicita: We should take the chance to exchange matching ones

Nova: Yeah. Good idea

Felicita: Thank you, Nova

Nova: I wouldn’t mind if we something that matched

~*Scene: Nordia Harbor*~

Felicita: This is cute, but it’s hard to pass on this… What do you think, Nova?

Nova: I don’t mind either as long as you like it

Felicita: *mad*

Nova: O-Okay! I’ll help you choose! Please don’t give me that look

~*Scene: Nordia Harbor*~

Nova: How about this glass red butterfly?

Felicita: Okay

Nova: We’d like two of these…

Felicita: Thank you

~*Scene: Nordia Town Square*~

Nova: Should we get something to eat?

Felicita: Sure

Nova: Anything you’re in the mood for?

??? (Teo): Hey, gimme another!

Nova: Sounds good. Should we check it out?

Felicita: Yeah

Nova: It’s got the perfect level of spice

Felicita: I can’t wait!

Nova: But it’s hard to pick with so many restaurants…

??? (Sera): The crab flavor is great, and so is the spice level

??? (Sera): I’ll bring some back…no, I’d still end up eating it. That’s how good it is!!

Felicita: Wow… those are some good reviews…

Nova: That voice sounds familiar…

Felicita: Let’s eat there, Nova

Nova: Yeah, sure

Felicita: It looks really good…!

Nova: Can we get two orders?

Nova: Let’s eat over there. It’s got a view of the sea

Felicita: Okay

Nova: Let’s eat

Felicita: Yeah, let’s

Felicita: It’s really good

Nova: Nordia is known for it’s fishing industry and seafood

~*Scene: Nordia Harbor*~

Felicita: Oh, Nova

Nova: Hm?

Felicita: You’ve got some on your cheek

Nova: Sorry

Felicita: What’s wrong?

Nova: About what?

Felicita: Your face is red

Nova: I’m just feeling warm since we’re eating…

Nova: We’re done, so let’s walk around a bit more and head back

Felicita: Okay

Sera: Oh. So, it really was you two

Nova: I should be saying that

Sera: I’m busy with cenone preparations

Sera: So we can’t do the “change of pace” we did before

Nova: That’s fine. We’re just sightseeing

Felicita: Nordia’s a beautiful place

Sera: I’m glad to hear that

Sera: What have you seen so far?

Felicita: We bought red things

Sera: Oh, as New Year…cenone gifts

Sera: …Would you mind if I bought you something too?

Felicita: Huh?

Sera: I want to give you something. Make some glass art for you, actually. If that’s okay

Felicita: For me…?

Sera: Yeah

Nova: No

Felicita Nova?

(*glare) Nova: I’m the only one allowed to give her anything

Nova: Let’s go

Felicita: Ah…Nova!

Sera: He sure is easy to read

Sera: I wish he’d tell you that instead of taking it out on me though

Felicita: Sorry, Sera. I’ve got to go

Sera: Yeah. Better to smooth things over with him

(*run) Felicita: Wait up, Nova!

Sera: Although, I do wish it was me she was chasing after instead

Sera: But, I guess that’ll never happen

~*Scene: Nordia Harbor*~

Felicita: Wait, Nova!

Nova: …

Felicita: Why are you angry?

Nova: I’m…really not

Felicita: Then why did you run off?

Nova: …

Felicita: Nova, I won’t know if you don’t tell me

Felicita: And I want to know more about you…

Nova: …I’m sorry

Felicita: About what?

Nova: I was just…jealous

Felicita: Jealous…?

Nova: And I didn’t like how well you got along with Sera

Nova: So when I pictured you happily receiving a gift from him…I just couldn’t take it

Felicita: Nova…

Nova: …It was childish of me, and must have upset you

>I was surprised but it’s fine

(+10 Amore)

>…Just a little

(No Amore)

>It made me happy

(+20 Amore)

Nova: Sorry

Felicita: Don’t apologize. I’m actually happy

Felicita: I thought I did something wrong, but that wasn’t it

Nova: Yeah

Nova: …I’ll be careful

Felicita: But, I’m happy. You actually said what you were thinking

Nova: Happy…?

Felicita: That means you really love me, right?

Nova: !!

Felicita: Let’s go, Nova

Felicita: So what do I get to see next?

Nova: Huh?

Felicita: I want to see lots of other things with you

Nova: Yeah, you’re right. Let’s go that way next

Felicita: Okay

Nova: There are more people now that the sun is setting

Felicita: You’re right

(*grab) Felicita: !

Nova: We might get separated if it’s too crowded

Felicita: …Right

Nova: …

Nova: Felicita…

Felicita: ?

Nova: Thanks for going out with me today

Felicita: Yeah. I was happy you invited me too

Nova: We should visit Nordia again after this whole thing is over

Felicita: Really?

Nova: Seeing you look so happy…makes me happy too

>Me too

(+20 Amore)

>I’ll show you around next time

(+10 Amore)

>How cute

(No Amore)

Felicita: I’m having fun if you are too

Nova: As long as we’re together, right?

Nova: You will?

Felicita: Yeah, I’ll learn how. I want to make you happy, Nova

Nova: W-What are you saying!?

Felicita: But that’s just how I feel

Nova: You’re the one who’s cute!

Felicita: !
