I have a need for a few volunteers. Though you won't need to be physically present.

[Ignis had given some consideration to leaving the house he'd previously occupied with (fluctuating levels of) companions, but has ultimately decided that the twelve feet of snake-tail he's now pulling along is far better suited to a larger home. Thus, he's speaking from the kitchen of a house some might recognise as having been the home of Prompto, or Steak and Red Wine, or even Caren Ortensia.

And he's planning to make good use of it.]

This world offers a good number of culinary challenges, and opportunities. If you have a moment, I'd like to hear about something that you're missing from your home - sweet, savoury, anything that comes to mind - and I'll need it described in as much detail as you can manage.

[He pauses for a moment, considering his next words.]

If I can, I'll do my best to replicate it for you. As closely as possible.

[ Zack's first meeting with Ignis had been under such dire circumstances, and had come and gone so quickly, that he hadn't actually given much thought to the man until seeing his face pop up on his Watch. Suffice to say, Zack's glad that they're now able to talk about something as mundane as food. ]

Hey, Ignis! [ The face that appears on the feed is a marked difference from what Ignis might remember. There's color back in Zack's face, and his veins are no longer stained black. His gold eyes are bright and curious, and the feathers in his hair have also returned to a healthier hue.

Behind his head, Ignis might also catch a glimpse of wings (a new addition). ]

You're into cooking, huh?

[claritatis]

Ah, Zack!

[It's been a while and the man looks far better now, but he still recognises him easily. Ignis smiles immediately on seeing him appearing so well, and he does spot those wings.

He may ask about those in a moment.]

You might say that. I've been cooking since I was very young. It does me no harm to put it to use here. Did you have something in mind?

[ Cooking since he was young, huh? Either Ignis has always liked cooking as a hobby, or there's some other reason that he'd taken that job on for himself, even when he was a kid.

A pang of yearning for his mom's home cooking aside, Zack tries to think of what favorite dish of his Ignis could recreate. ]

You know, some sushi sounds great right about now. But... that might be kind of complicated? And you need a certain quality of fish.

[ They are right near the harbor, but still, it feels like he'd be asking too much. ]
