[voice testing] loogie woo kreznix (don't ask)

[chromatose]

[It finally happened. It was really only a matter of time- and Ludger now finds himself in a fractured dimension on his own, without his friends to help him. It's... probably better this way, anyway. There's no reason for them to have to bear the burden of dealing with these places. It's on him, right? Both as an agent of Spirius, and as a user of the chromatus.

Still, it's kind of lonely. Especially without Elle, even though he knows he can use the chromatus without her right now.

Oh well. The sooner he gets out of here, the sooner he'll get back to the others. Best get down to business and find that catalyst.]

[Link raises an eyebrow at that with a tilt of his head. He's a country bumpkin, sure, but he's not dumb. No one arrives out of nowhere with clothes like that.]

I travel a lot, too. Can't say I've ever seen clothes like yours b'fore, or seen someone jus' show up. [You know, unless they're from the Twilight. But he's certain Ludger's not from there. He blinks after that though, then waves a hand and turns his head away.] Sorry, I know I said I wouldn't ask. If y' don't wanna answer, then it's not my business. I've just been curious about your, er... [Clothes, the weapons at his belt. His hair.] Everything.

[Now he can't help feeling a little guilty. Here he is taking advantage of this guy's (admittedly willing) hospitality, eating his food, sharing his home, and soon will hopefully be making use of his openness to find a catalyst that will destroy the whole fractured dimension, and he can't even offer much information in return. It isn't very fair.

Nothing about this is fair. That's why getting to Canaan is so important, right? So we can end all of this.]

Sorry. It's... personal, that's all. I can't explain it. If you can't accept that, then I'll understand if you want me gone.

You're joking, right? I don't mind if y' don't tell me, and I'm not gonna kick you out for no good reason.

[Link could never be that mean. Not to people who don't deserve it, anyway.]

We've all got our secrets, and there's nothin' wrong with that. Besides, I can't let ya leave without a recipe swap!

[chromatose]

[You're so trusting.

You might regret that, later.

Ludger's not going to complain, though. He offers up a slight smile and stirs a dash or two of one of the unusual new spices into the pot, checking the taste.]

I think that's as close as I can get it to the usual flavour. Give it a try, see what you think.

[balancing]

[You shut it with that cryptic nonsense you newb

Link leans over to take a taste of his own, and his expression lights up a bit. Well dang, he really is some kind of chef!]

It's really good! And that's all ya put in it?

[chromatose]

[wow attitude bro relax

Ludger smiles, pleased that his choices have been approved despite the unknown spices he'd tried. He nods.]

Just add a bit of love and practice, and you've got it.

[...God, that was totally Julius's influence.]
