When: September 10th and onward
Where: Nuidan
Warnings: Tag as you go!

Reseed the Meadow So the Cows Don't Starve
As of September 10th, the mana pools on Ensō and its islets will now allow for travel to the new island of Nuidan.

Travelers will arrive on a mana pool situated on the E5 square. The temple is situated in an oasis-like backdrop of amber-colored sands circled with overhanging palm trees. From the island's center, the four corners of the island and its fixed seasonal shifts are more than obvious: to the north, the rainfall-soaked meadows of spring; to the east, the thick clusters of the trees of autumn; to the south, the snow-capped mountains of winter; and to the west, the warm summer sands and pleasant heat.

And inside the temple? The avatar of the island Nuidan is waiting.

"You'd think they'd pick up the slack for you."

But he's right, it does smell amazing, and her stomach rumbles as if in response. She laughs, a little embarrassed.

"Sorry...I'd love some. But only if you have some too."

"Yes, well I must admit part of that is my own fault. I do tend to be pretty stubborn about handling things on my own. If I'm not so ill I can't get out of bed, I'm going to try and take care of my duties no matter what they are," Ignis bows his head slightly, a self-conscious smile on his face. That smile becomes a true one when she suggests he eat too.

"I should probably do that, yes. I'm not sure how long it's been since I actually stopped to eat."

It doesn't take him long to plate up two portions and then hold one out to her, "I hope it tastes as good as it smells."

She frowns, thinking immediately of Varric - hiding his own grief over Hawke, turning the conversation away from himself and back to CT and her problems. Never once reaching out, asking for help for himself.

At least Varric had had the good sense to stop and eat. She takes the plate with a murmur of thanks, checking to make sure Ignis had kept plenty for himself.

"It looks just as good, too. You should definitely try it."

[shatteredlenses]

Good sense. If asked Ignis' friends would say he has a lot of sense, just not a lot of good sense when it comes to taking care of himself. Care of himself has always been second to taking care of those he cares about. At least, that is slowly starting to change, though it's a battle he will probably end up fighting for the rest of his life.

"That's good to hear. I try my best to make sure what I cook still looks good, but that part has proven much harder for me to master," he smiles and sets to cutting off a bite-sized piece of meat. "Off you go, now. Don't be afraid to tell me what you think."

[tuskenlancer]

"I don't think I'd bother. If anyone complained, they could shove it." If it tastes good, and the chef can't see it, why should he worry about how it looks?

Luckily for CT, though, Ignis has more exacting standards. She takes a bite, pausing for a moment to savor it before humming appreciatively.

"Shit...that tastes amazing."
