Culinary Fundamentals; Friday, First Period [01/08].
Ignis had been dealing with high-profile political figures, powerful military leaders, the king of his own nation, and everyone in between since he was six years old, and yet there he was, in the front of a cooking classroom, feeling oddly intimidated about having to instruct a handful of a half-dozen students.
He wasn't quite sure if Nina being one of those students helped settle his sudden bout of low-key nerves, or if that only made it worse. But that didn't matter because there was a class to be had and he had planned and prepared for it extensively, and just because his being here was absolutely ridiculous, especially in light of the fact that he should be back home didn't mean he wasn't going to give it his all and try to do his very best to impart a love and knowledge and, most importantly, and appreciation for a well-cooked meal in them.
"Welcome," he greeted them, with a small tug at the sleeve of a button down shirt that was arguably much too nice to be exposed to the potential mess of cooking things, but no matter, "to Culinary Fundamentals. My name is Ignis Scientia, and I have been tasked to share with you all my extensive knowledge of the culinary arts in a way that will hopefully broaden your own skills and horizons so that you, too, may consider a meal not just mere sustitence or necessity, but a feast not only for your stomach, but also all of your senses and quite possibly...your soul.
"Now," before anyone could get too much of a chance to roll their eyes at that one, he moved on, "I understand that, at this school, there is a good chance that we are all coming from very different places, with a wide variety of food traditions and experiences, that might put us all at different spots in our culinary journeys. So before we get started with anything today, I'd like for us all to get to know each other a little better, so that I have a better understanding of what we'll all be working with. Perhaps you've never cooked a single thing in your life. Perhaps you consider yourself an expert and are merely hoping to hone your skills. I hope to make a place for all of you here, and to adjust my lessons accordingly. Perhaps," he offered a small smile, "you might even be able to teach me something new."
Doubtful. But still!
"And, if you'll all humor me, I'd also like you all to tell me a little bit about your own personal favorite food or dish, especially what it is like and what it is about it that you like. And once we've all had our turn, we'll move into our very first lesson, something very simple," hopefully, "yet useful that can provide an excellent base for wherever the class may take us thus far."
And a good gauge of just how doomed (or possibly not!) he may be.
"Let's get started, shall we?"
