The Great Masterpiece

Well, well, little would-be guardian. You're tougher than I expected. Those two little tests may seem insignificant alone, but combine them, and you've got a good meal on your hands.

(That sounds like an old Nova proverb, but I'm pretty sure he got it wrong...)

You know what we need? A flavor. Something to bring the meat and wood together into perfect unison.

Are you gonna make me cook?

I just might! Hahaha! The last Kaiser had a real nose for flavor-enhancers. Let's see if you got his gifts!

Cook me some delicious meat!

Quitting before the cooking starts? You'll go hungry in no time!

What do you have going on there?

Ummm... I have literally never cooked a meal before.

Just hand it over. I managed to survive the LAST thing you fed me...

I don't care how ugly this looks, the real value of food is in the flavor. Here we go!

(I hope this doesn't kill him...)

(You watch as Eurenth slowly eats the entire meal.) Y-you...

(Don't die, don't die, don't die...)

SPLENDID! The meat is melting in my mouth and there's a hint of hickory in my nostrils! It reminds me of a meal my favorite bawdy lady used to make in the old days!

(What the heck is a bawdy lady?)

Mmm, let me finish this and I'll tell you whatever you want.

It's not done yet? How well done are you going to get it?!
