You're welcome to it!

[ After all is it your cake so you may eat as much as you wish ~~if you even survive a bite...........~~ ]

[And he goes to take a slice and--]

Oh, is there a filling in this?

[Because either way something is oozing a bit from the center there. It bubbles suspiciously.]

Oh?

[ Did... she put in filling in it?

Uh...... Oh right! ]

Yes! I remember putting strawberries in the cake. Perhaps it is that.

[ Natalia shouldn't you know what's in your own cake ]

Oh, I see!

[Well that sounds like a pretty good explanation! Maybe it's just bubbling because it's hot?]

[Well, he's just gonna take a nice big bite--]

[...oh.]

[What is this?? The texture is like chewing tinfoil covered in slime, saturated with an overwhelming pepper flavor followed by a most unpleasant and ominous crunch that feels like it's burning the inside of his mouth.]

[The plate falls back to the table as he reaches a hand up to his mouth. He should spit this out, he needs to spit this out but--]

[Oh no. He swallowed it.]

[And with the sound of his final breath leaving his lips, his face instantly pales as he collapses to the ground.]

[The Fon Master is down for the count.]

[Luke pulls himself from whatever he's doing to see Ion hit the floor. Immediately, the cake is suspect.]

Ion! Don't tell me you... You ate Natalia's cooking!?

[So it finally came to this. It's regrettable, to be sure, but perhaps it's the only way that Natalia may learn the error of her ways.

And so Jade kneels beside Ion and takes a moment to take his pulse.]

Ion!

[Anise rushes over, trying to make sure that Ion's still okay. With Ion's frail constitution, it wasn't a surprise that he wouldn't handle Natalia's cooking well. But after a bite!?]

Ion, are you okay? Please wake up!

Ah, Ion!

[ oh no oh no Ion don't die please don't die she would never forgive herself. She's already not forgiving herself what has she done.

She's quickly going to kneel down and start casting Cure on him please don't be dead Ion she didn't cast Revive on you before you ate that cake. ]

[Ah yes, a Cure was just what he needed. And also a few gallons of mouthwash and maybe some antacids, but for now, healing artes would suffice.]

[The color quickly returns to his face as he gasps, pushing himself up on his hands and knees and coughing.]

[And once that subsides, he looks up and notices he's suddenly surrounded by a bunch of very worried looking people. What just happened??]

Could someone... bring me a glass of water?

Ah, yes! I will be right back.

[ And off Natalia goes to get him a glass of water. She goes and comes back quickly clearly feeling guilty about what has transpired. ]

Here you are, Ion.

[By the time she gets back, he'll be standing against at least. Though there's still not much color to his face -- but that's normal for him, at least.]

Thank you, Natalia. [And he takes a nice long drink of that, hopefully getting whatever taste was left in his mouth out.] I'm sorry for worrying everyone. I'm... not quite sure what happened.

[ Natalia was glad to see that he was standing when she got back. Though that pale face... maybe she should reconsider the idea about cooking. ]

No, it's quite all right, Ion. You... had a bite of my cake.

[ And the rest says it all ]

...oh. That's right, I did.

[Ohgod ohman he's reliving it. He's just going to pause, and then quickly drink down the rest of that water.]

A-Ah, I... must have just swallowed it wrong. Perhaps I was eating a bit too hastily.

[He knows that clearly wasn't the case, but that look on Natalia's face tho...]

[ Natalia frowns a little at that. Sorry Ion but even she's aware that she's not a very good cook.

This just happens to be one of those very bad times. ]

No, it's quite alright. Perhaps I should have listened to begin with and stuck with providing drinks from the store instead.

Perhaps... that may be true but...

[But okay. Ion may not have ever poisoned anyone with his cooking, but he knows he's not exactly the best chef around either. He's been banned from House One's kitchen before too. So he can't really hold it against her, even if it was an unpleasant situation.]

But even so, you must have tried so hard to make it. Even if it didn't turn out how you expected, you still put all that effort into making something for me. In a situation like this, I think it's the thought alone that counts.

[Ion: the only person who can say something like that with a straight face and be completely sincere even though that cake totally almost killed him.]

[ Gosh Ion why are you saying these words you sincere kid. Natalia can't help but smile a little bit and nod. ]

Yes, you're right. Although it didn't come out as I expected it had [ faaar from it ] I still put as much effort as I could into it. Perhaps ... next time I can make something that not only looks good but tastes good as well.

Well, I'll be looking forward to it. [He really means it too! Just as long as he doesn't have to be a taste tester until after she's refined her skills a bit more.] I'm sure with the right amount of practice, you'll be able to become a great cook someday.

Thank you, Ion. [ don't worry we're not going to make you and taste tester but: ] Perhaps once I have more practice I could bake you another cake to make up for this one?

[And he smiles.] I would really like that. Thank you, Natalia.
