Archer!! You're the biggest cooking expert I know, so I need to ask you a question. For.. a friend. A friend of mine. Who has a problem. Which is certainly not my problem.

[ Certainly. ]

it's okay!

[boneofsword]

[Archer raises a brow at the message. Fine, he can pretend he has no idea that Minako means herself and not a friend.]

Of course. What do you need help with?

[reloves]

Do you think that anyone at all could learn how to cook if they really tried their best? Or is it possible that some people are just cursed to never be able to cook, and every single time they touch anything in a kitchen it immediately erupts into flames!

[boneofsword]

[That reminds him of one time Caster and Lancer tried to bake a cake and almost burned it.]

That depends if you can focus for long enough to prepare the food, and have enough patience. If you get distracted halfway then you start making mistakes.

[reloves]

Focus, huh..? I wonder if my friend is the type to easily get distracted..

[ She's totally pondering that about herself instead. ]

But!! As long as someone is determined enough about something, they should be able to do it, right? Even if it'd seem super duper unlikely to anyone else?

[Meanwhile Archer is seriously wondering if Metis' temple has a working fire and smoke alarm system.]

As long as your friend remembers to focus on cooking and is determined enough they should be able to learn how to cook.

[reloves]

If that's the case, then I wonder how everything she tries to make ends up on fire despite her determination...

[ Immediately validating his concern without even realising it. ]

[boneofsword]

[Minako plz don't burn Zelda's temple.]

Is she following the recipe step by step, or improvising?

[reloves]

[ She's trying not to!! ]

Definitely step by step!!!

So since it's such a strange case, I thought you could.. um.. maybe give that friend of mine a special cooking lesson.. if I'd ask you super nicely..

[ The problem being that she then would have to find out how to say it's actually not about a friend. Since she's not being as obvious in her own mind as she actually is. ]

[boneofsword]

[At least in his kitchen Archer can supervise.]

Of course. Let me know when you have some free time so that we can set a schedule.

[reloves]

Great!! It shouldn't be too difficult for me to find some time, anytime you're available is

[ .. wait. Hold that thought. ]

YOU KNEW THIS WAS ABOUT ME??
