[As invulnerable as he likes to pretend to be, Anakin Skywalker is not immune to strong drink. He has engaged in a contest with a certain Valar and failed miserably. Perhaps if Melkor had told him that alcohol has no effect on him whatsoever, he would not have tried so hard to keep up.

He is paying for his ambition now as he reclines messily on Melkor’s couch, completely unconscious to the world. There are plenty of empty bottles around him and it seems all too likely that once he wakes, he is going to be very, very sick.

Maybe being comatose is a blessing in that case. At least until the nightmares find him again. They always do.]

So, uh-

[Melkor poked Anakin, not sure what to do with a sick human. He had never even seen a sick Elf before. He carefully held his phone in one hand, not sure what to do but surely other mortals would know?]

I’m not sure how to make a sick human...better. I think he’s drunk. [He picked up Anakin’s arm, trying to wiggle it to get him awake. Surely this helps.]

[The wiggling earns a deep groan and some of the furniture gives an ominous shudder. Then the previously limp man is pushing himself up quickly and looking...rather grey.]

...bathroom… [He gasps and hauls himself to his feet, running for what he hopes is the right door. If it’s not, there might be some cleaning to do. This is why Men should not drink to excess!

Melkor watched, confused but stayed where he was before looking at the camera with a smirk as Anakin ran into a bedroom instead of the bathroom. He clearly won this and at least it wasn’t his room.] Someone may want to come and heal him, I like this human and he doesn’t seem to be doing well.

The satisfaction of teaching someone to cook. After all, you offered.

[am_i_a_monster]

I did?

[belegurth]

Why else would you have talked about the importance of cooking?

video

[am_i_a_monster]

Making conversation. And it is important to know what's in your food.

[belegurth]

Well, now you're teaching me to cook. What else do you have to do?

video

[am_i_a_monster]

If I'm teaching you, then you have to do some grocery shopping.

[belegurth]

Alright, give me a list.

To make silkie soup, you'll need silkie chicken, you'll be able to recognize it because it's black. Best to get it with the bones in. Wolfberries, sometimes those are called goji berries. Ginseng, ginger, red dates, star anise, rice wine, longan, white jelly mushroom, wood ear mushrooms. And peanuts as long as you're not allergic. Salt and soy sauce.

I can do that. [He helped create the world, surely grocery shopping would be nothing compared to that.]

When are we doing this?

video

[am_i_a_monster]

It'll have to be when I'm not working. Evenings or weekends.

video

[belegurth]

Tomorrow evening then, I'll get the stuff.

video

[am_i_a_monster]

Okay.

[belegurth]

Great, I'll see you then.
