4th Floor Common Room [Tuesday afternoon]

Proto had an actual cookbook out. He was staring at it dubiously, and with a mild expression of confusion, but he had it out, dang it! Of course he didn't recognize a number of ingredients listed on the page he had open, and he wasn't entirely clear on how one properly 'sautéed' things, but he was going to try.

Though... any help would probably be appreciated.

[Open and all that stuff.]

"It's....it doesn't taste right," Alexander explained. "It's quite strange; the gentleman at the shop just gave it to me when I came in to get things for a moving picture night with my friend, but we couldn't quite get a taste for it. I think it may have gone bad..."

He shook his head. "But that's neither here nor there. Let us see how it is without the wine and, if it does not work, we have the wonder of the convenience of all of the food on the island as a back-up plan!"

"You're the expert," Proto decided. "At least compared to me."

"Don't feel too bad," Alexander laughed a little, allowing at least a little bit of confidence, "compared to a lot of people. I've sort of spent my whole life cooking, and usually having to make allowances for not always having everything we'd need."

"Well, I've spent none of my life cooking, so... that's helpful."

"That's wonderful that you're starting to get into it, then," Alexander complimented as he started to go through the cupboards for the rest of the ingredients. "It's a worthy skill to have. You'll find few people can turn their noses up at a well-prepared meal."

"That's what I'm hoping." Yep. Definitely a girl involved.

"Oh?" Alexander asked, feeling as if there might be a bit more to that story.

"Nothing," Proto answered a little too quickly. Yeah, right.

"That...doesn't exactly sound like nothing," Alexander noted.

Proto shrugged and smiled just a bit awkwardly.
