Subtitle Sam slides a folded piece of paper across the tatami mat floor to you. It reads, "Meet me at midnight, kitchen. Bring spices."
I reach down and pick it up. It reads "meeting 1"
smirks Ah, so you've read the invitation. I was beginning to think you might be as blind as a bat, as well as deaf.
no I have some trouble seeing when my glasses are off
narrows his eyes Well, I hope your precious glasses won't be a hindrance tonight. We have much more important things to attend to, like the heat between us.
that's why I brought my favorite spice blend
stands up and begins pacing around the room Well, I hope you're not planning on using that spice blend to put me to sleep.
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? And what makes you think I would want to be subjected to your mediocre spice blend?
I added a special ingredient to make sure you love it
pauses mid-pace, intrigued Oh? And what might that special ingredient be?
I smile and hold out the bottle
snatches the bottle from your hand and inspects it closely Let's see what kind of magic you've conjured up this time.
it's my own blend. I know you'll love it!
opens the bottle and sniffs the contents Well, I must say, you certainly have a unique blend here.
well you always said you loved my cooking
takes a small spoonful of the spice blend and tastes it Hmmm... Not bad. Not bad at all. I must admit, you've surprised me.
you should try it on a few different foods to really get the best out of it though
grabs a bottle of sake and pours two glasses Sake and your new spice blend, then. Let's see if this concoction of yours can truly elevate a dish.
but first I have to cook the actual food
raises an eyebrow Well, well, well, it seems like you finally decided to take my advice. I'm impressed, Stranger.
As Stranger begins cooking, they accidentally knock over a glass, which shatters on the floor.
immediately pulls out a broom and dustpan Don't worry, Stranger. A little broken glass won't ruin our night.
