[aubins]

[ wow.

he'll pick up those breadcrumbs first and pop them in the pantry, while greeting lust. a multitasker! ]

Now what favours did you all have to pull to get everything fixed so fast?

[probe]

[happy for his breadcrumbs.]

No favors! But, uh, maybe let's not do that again. Gluttony was preeetty pissed off...

[aubins]

[ he's being resourceful. ]

Gluttony runs the kitchen? [ ... nice. ] Fitting. Do you know who was wrecking the place?

[probe]

It's not really like the kitchen's their domain, but you saw their note didn't you? They really want you guys to treat this place nicer and quit trashing it.

But yeah. We know who's trashing the place. We can see a lot, you know!

[aubins]

[ wow, they're all voyeurs. ]

That's not reassuring. What if I'm a private person? I don't want to know people are watching when I get changed. [ there is. zero anger or distress in his voice. ]

Still, thank you for clearing up. Or thanks to those of you who did? [ one of you is literally called sloth, so... ]

[probe]

Ew. It's not like we want to watch you get changed! We can choose to not look. Anyway...you kind of seem like you're a little of both. Both a show-off and both private.

[in a good way!] But I'll pass on the message.

[aubins]

[ he shrugs. ] That would be telling. A guy's gotta have some mysterious charm about him, right?

[ there's a nod! ] I appreciate it.

[probe]

Sure. You could also just thank Gluttony yourself. I think they'd like that.

[they lean forward a little to look at yuri, still seated on the counter.] So what's an Avatar gotta do to learn a little more about the mysterious Yuri?

[aubins]

I'll see what I can do.

[ he leans forward to look back at them! :) ] Their very best. I don't like handing out all out my cards cheaply.

[probe]

You drive a hard bargain, but challenge accepted!

[hmmmm.] Have you ever had coffee before? We can make a snack and test some of the machines for your lesson.

[aubins]

I'll look forward to seeing what you can figure out.

[ oh. hm. ] I've had it once or twice. I'm more of a tea person overall.

[probe]

I like tea, too. [they jump off of the counter then, the bump in the back of their cloak wiggling slightly.]

How do you usually make your tea?

[aubins]

[ he doesn't, he gets his teacher to make it. wehehee. ]

I'm not picky. I have types I like but... brew it however suits you, I'll drink it.

[probe]

[yuri rude!! but it's fine because lust is rooting around and pulling out an electric kettle.]

Ever see one of these before? It's a fast way to boil water.

[aubins]

...

It looks like a tea pot? Slightly.

[probe]

It's called an electric kettle. See? [they fill it up with water before putting it on the burner plate and plugging it into an outlet.] That way you don't have to use the stove or start a fire or anything and the water gets nice and hot!

And what's tea without toast? [they point at what's probably like an 8-slice toaster.]

[aubins]

...

Maybe I need to start with knowing what electricity is, or rather how it works. Seeing as something like 90% of everything here seems to be relying on it to function.

[ this kettle is sorcery. but he understands that it's making things hot without things being on fire. a good start. ]

[probe]

I'm not so good with science, but think of electricity like a power source. It has these, like, coils and wires that the energy runs through to generate a current for light and stuff. If the connection's broken and the current can't flow, then you don't get power. Make sense?

[they will also start getting slices of bread for their toast.]

[aubins]

... Like if you lit an oil trail on fire and something obstructed the path of the fire before it could reach its destination? [ it's. it's the closest thing he has to a comparison. ]

So as long as nothing's out of place, it'll just do its own thing and make things work?

[probe]

Yeah, that's a pretty good comparison. [shoving bread into the toaster!] Electricity can do all sorts of stuff. It makes kitchen appliances work, it's what powers the TVs around this place, and even things like the cute lamp at the end of the hall in the sleep bay only work with electricity.

But it's pretty self-sufficient around here.

[aubins]

[ the mii music starts as they start talking and just keeps cranking up and up and up and even drops a sick baseline, eventually. ]

... as long as it doesn’t all suddenly break. I can’t help people fix things.

[probe]

It'll be fine. Grab some butter out of the fridge? We can use it for the toast. [and yuri can learn that fridges are cold.]

Soooo what are you good at? Your profiles only tell us so much about you guys.

[aubins]

[ holy shit, fridges are cold.

anyway, here's your butter, lust. ]

I'm good at plenty of things. The profile's not a bad place to start though. Maybe I'll even answer a few questions in exchange for the tea.

[probe]

[thanks! they will take it and yuri can probably get a glimpse of lust's fingernails which have been painted with a cute pink polish. they're also wearing fingerless gloves.]

I can take a hint. [they laugh though and as the kettle starts to whistle lust moves to get some loose-leaf tea in a strainer to make them a few cups.] Some of the things on your profile don't match up with the rest. Those are the ones I'm most curious about.

[aubins]

[ please teach yuri about nail varnish so he can maybe paint his nails, i realised i don't know if fe3h has nail varnish :( ]

[ he's watching how they make the tea, almost subconsciously. this is sort of familar, like having tea with byleth. only on a ?spaceship, maybe. ] Everyone has multiple talents, myself included.
