♚ 004 [ video ]

[pactum]

[ Hello, Vatheon. This is a video broadcast of Ciel Phantomhive swallowing his pride.

If you know him, it may be slightly painful to watch due to second-hand embarrassment.

...or slightly gratifying, depending on your opinion of him. ]

I have a request.

[ It's sort of obvious that he's having to force himself to speak. His teeth are practically clenched. Ouch, his dignity. ]

Would anyone be so kind as to teach me how to cook, or to bake? I've found myself interested in cultivating some culinary skill.

[ In other words, he's gotten tired of restaurant food. So. Tired.

He hates you, Sebastian Michaelis. He hates you a lot. ]

If you are so inclined, please contact me as soon as possible.

video; this would be disastrous, you know.

[diehardreaper]

[ Allow him the most amused look on his face. ]

S'not exactly what I'd call high class gourmet grub but I could possibly give it a go.

video; OH GOD

[pactum]

[ No. Not allowed. Wipe that smarmy look off your mug, Ronald Knox. ]

...the use of the word 'grub' does not make it sound particularly appealing.

video; Everything he knows is totes pub food.

[diehardreaper]

[ And by pub food I mean sticks to your arteries food. That was possibly pan fried. In lard. And goes good with a dark beer. ]

If you ask me, you haven't lived if you've yet to have a proper plate of bangers and mash in you.

video; ahaha yes totally

[pactum]

[ Wow. Could that possibly be more disgusting? ]

'Bangers and mash.'

[ WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT, RONALD. IT'S LIKE YOU'RE SPEAKING ANOTHER LANGUAGE. ]

video; ...could use some of that now. /sob

[diehardreaper]

[ Oh come on. B/ He's speaking English.
Granted, it's working class English but English nontheless. ]

Yeah. Bangers and mash. Don't tell me you've never had any. At least say you've had bubble and squeak? A cornish pasty? One of those?

[ Don't let him down? ]

video; SAME. it's the best.

[pactum]

[ Yeah well. Try speaking real English.

...or French, maybe. He understands that better than what you're saying now. ]

I've certainly had cornish pastry. However...

[ TRAILING OFF POINTEDLY. Seriously what the hell is a 'bubble and squeak?' It sounds like you're putting a mouse in a bath. SIDE-EYEING YOU SO MUCH, RONALD. ]

video;

[diehardreaper]

[ ...he's side eyeing you just as bad, Ciel. Poor kid. Must've had a nasty childhood if he's never had a greased porker shoved down his throat.

...damn, that sounds bad. ]

Blimey, what sort of things do you lot eat if you haven't heard of any of that?

video;

[pactum]

[ Check yourself before you wreck yourself, Ronald. It's you who eats grease-fried grease. Or the rough equivalent, at least. ]

Things with intelligible names.

video;

[diehardreaper]

[ Hey, grease fried grease is the best thing. Raised brow though. ]

Like what, then?

video;

[pactum]

[ Let's see--what was the last meal Sebastian made for him? ]

Beef bourguignon.

[ He misses real food. :( ]

video;

[diehardreaper]

[ ... ]

Now who's going on about food whose names no one else can manage then? Really, you high society blokes haven't had real food.
