Why hello there!

[Snow White is in her kitchen, which is really pretty standard. This time, however, she's not surrounded by food that is being jarred, pickled, or dried. Her army of animal friends is around her, per the norm. The more observant will notice that Snow has on an apron and has several stray bits of dough and mixing bowls around her.]

Several friends of mine have asked, and I thought, well, why not offer it to everyone!

I would like to offer baking and cooking lessons to everyone who might want them, oh not these friends mind you [Snow gestures to her animals.] they already know how to cook! [Because of course they do]! I can teach you the very basics, or if you'd like, much more advanced lessons as far as I'm able to!

I think everyone should be able to cook. I can teach you how to cook outdoors as well! It's very easy to start a fire once you know the steps.

The only ingredients we won't use are apples, but if there's anything else you've always wanted to learn, I'd be happy to try and help you!

[A songbird tweets something and she turns to look at them.] Hmm? Price? I haven't thought of one, I'm sure we can figure something out. [In that, it will be very likely Snow will ask for nothing in return because she does that.]

I look forward to helping you on your cooking journey!

[She seemed too nice. He wanted to find out what all the animals had to do with cooking but also she was just too nice. It was suspicious.]

What kind of basic cooking lessons would you recommend for beginners?

[Snow remains in voice, if only because she needs her hands while she's cooking and baking and can't exactly be texting at the same time.]

Well, let's see! The very basics would be cleaning your food, how to cut it in different ways, how to know when something is safe to eat and not safe to eat, how to tell when something is properly cooked, how you can measure things when you don't have measuring cups or spoons, and how to use basic tools like a cauldron or frying pan! Or if you don't have that, how to substitute for them.

Those would be the very basics, I think.

[This couldn't be real. Yet, here she was.]

I can bring water to boil and cook over a camp fire. I'm excellent with knives, and I know if it smells bad, don't eat it.

[She's absolutely real.]

Oh! That's simply wonderful! I hope you're proud of that because I'm certainly proud of you!

[If this were text, that statement might come across as sarcasm but nope, she is absolutely 100% sincere. ]

Did you want more advance lessons, then?

[This might have been what toxic positivity looked like. How far did it go down the rabbit hole was the question.]

Well, I need to skills to survive. It seems I'm more advanced than I thought.

[Way more advanced than he was letting on. He was an excellent cook and excellent baker.]

But how wonderful to give yourself credit for the skills you have!

Maybe you can teach me something! I certainly don't know everything, after all! [She giggles.] I learn new things everyday!

[This was definitely toxic positivity. He felt himself dying just by being on the network with her.]

My skills transfer somewhat to cooking, I suppose.

Well, you just let me know what you would like to do! Outside of school I have a very open schedule!

[Video is hard, but Natsume doesn't feel like he can adequately communicate without being seen. Case in point -- he has to incline his head in politeness when he says:]

That's a very kind offer. When you decide how much to charge, please let me know. I'd very much appreciate taking lessons.

Well, I'm happy to offer lessons even while I don't know! [She giggles.]

[ Oh, oh. Klee gives Snow a little wave. This would be perfect to make treats and stuff for her friends. Though, does it count if she learns how to make treats from Snow White and then giving her some. Well that's future Klee's problem. ]

Hi Snow. Can Klee learn to cook too? I can only make fish and sandwiches. [To her, blowing up fish counts as cooking them. ] Klee ate the food you gifted me. It was super yummy. Plus, it should be okay to learn to cook since you're a grown up. Klee only supposed to cook with one.

Are you sure? I don't want to inconvenience you without paying you back. [He seems...genuinely distressed by the idea.]

Oh!

[ ahiru claps her hands together. ]

I would love a few lessons. I'm not very good at cooking.

( someone has to ask: )

Why no apples?

[Bless her, she's so sweet. ]

I'm good with the cooking lessons myself, but this is nice. Maybe you should get people to bring their own ingredients? Then that'll save you being out of pocket while you figure out what you're gonna charge them.

[Which he can guess is NOTHING. He can see that coming a mile off. ]

If it was an inconvenience, why would I offer, silly goose!

Oh! Klee! It's so wonderful to see you again! I would be happy to teach you how to cook, dear! And I'm so glad you liked the food I made you! Nothing makes me happier than people enjoying the food I make.

Well, that's alright! Everyone has to start somewhere! I'm entirely self-taught myself. What do you know about cooking already?

[And Snow will tell him cause she's not really the sort to be like "we don't talk about trauma" she's much more "we don't acknowledge how badly our trauma hurts us."]

Oh! That would be because my stepmother poisoned me with one! I still have it, actually, the poisoned apple arrived with me. It hasn't rotted even a little because of the magic in it.

Oh, well, actually, I have a gift for you with food anyway! I hope you don't mind!

But my! Varian, you're always so clever! That's such an excellent idea, plus, that way they'll be able to make something they've always wanted to try. And if it's the wrong sort of ingredient, I'm sure I have plenty stored for me to substitute it!

Varian you're always so smart!

[And he's absolutely right that she won't be charging anyone anything because just having people to spend time with is payment enough for Snow.]

any assistance with cookery would be greatly appreciated. i never had to do it myself before so i'm a bit at a loss as to how i should proceed. however i learn quickly and am willing to return the favor to others in the future.

( that...makes sense. )

The hell did she try and poison you for? Just a terrible person?

Uhm, you need a kitchen, utensils and a stove?

Oh and food! You definitely need food.

I'm usually free mid-afternoon and early evening.

...Do you have any advice on how to not set the kitchen on fire?

I've had an ongoing problem with that. Any kitchen I run into just turns into a war zone.
