“I see now that the path I choose through the maze makes me what I am. I am not only a thing, but also a way of being—one of many ways—and knowing the paths I have followed and the ones left to take will help me understand what I am becoming.”

Rest, revitalization, and recouperation is prudent.

[ Especially now. Though he is eating very slow; he never had much of a big appetite. ]

...Was this celebration always planned or enacted in light of recent events?

[insinning]

It was always planned, but um. I think it's extra important now too.

[CONSIDERING...yeah]

[alchemicalbirth]

In hindsight, it was truly a good move.

[ Y-YEAH.... ]

[insinning]

You think so?

[Don't think too hard]

[alchemicalbirth]

[ Albedo not thinking too hard? Must be Tuesday. ]

Yes, I do. After all...a lot has happened, hasn't it?

[insinning]

[unsures]

...yeah. It's a coincidence but--I'm glad we can still come together like this.

[alchemicalbirth]

[ It's probably fine... ]

...I am glad as well.

[ There is an actual slight smile on his face here. ]

[insinning]

Let's stay friends, even after all of this is over.

[ehehehe. Sinclair beams and pushes more food over to Albedo]

You should keep eating.

[alchemicalbirth]

...

[ Albedo is happy, to hear Sinclair clearly thinks of them as friends so plainly. It is the other part that gets to him, because...

...After?

What after? ]

I have never really had a big appetite. It appears this aspect of myself has done well to have carried over into the game.

[insinning]

[...? Sinclair understands the latter part of that though]

Yeah, I'm the same way. But it's designed to eat small bits at a time at least.

[alchemicalbirth]

[ Sinclair is the same way?

... ]

...Perhaps so.

[ He pokes at the new portions, and finally begins to actually take a few more bites than before, even if it is still slow-going. ]

At least the food has been prepared well.

[insinning]

You should thank Tylor for that. He was really patient with me when I was working out how to slice thinly.

[It's good. He'll add a few more pieces of meat and veggies in to cook]

[alchemicalbirth]

I don't know who that is. But, it's kind of him to have lent his hand.

[ Instead of ridiculing such efforts when immediate improvement hadn't been observed, for example. ]

...Cooking can be a fine art to master, like other things.

[insinning]

Yeah. I wish it was easier to master sometimes though.

[Tylor is a very good person, Sinclair agrees]

Tylor's over there.

[Pointing at another thread]

[alchemicalbirth]

It does require quite a good deal of finesse. But, with practice, it can be mastered just like any other skill or art. I suppose people may say that of most things, but it is easier for someone to pick up cooking ability as opposed to learning statistics.

[ Drawing and painting may be of also relative ease in comparison's sake, but that part might be a bit more subjective depending on how strong one's inner critic and persistence so happens to be.

Regardless, his eyes slide over to Tylor and then back to Sinclair before he says: ]

I see.

[insinning]

[Numbers...Sinclair's weakness]

Mm, I guess it depends on your personality. But you're right.
