" Did you cook this? " - From Noelle @geomade (long overdue tbh dahlsdkh )

“Well... yeah! You’re always working so hard, but I don’t think I’ve seen you eat lunch with any of us! I wanted to change that!!”

Lumine’s Barbatos ratatouille wasn’t exactly the most charming looking dish, but she was still confident that it at least tasted good.

"Did you really cook this?" ⁠— you can use Xiangling for this :P

Oh, jeez. Were the question from anyone else, it wouldn’t have made Lumine nearly as anxious as it did coming from Xiangling. Now, however, she was afraid to even say “yes”, like she was about to be reprimanded.

But... she swore she followed her jade parcel recipe exactly!

“Yes...! I-- I did.”

"Did you really cook this?"

“Mmhm! So, compliments to the chef can go right to me.”

She gave an amused giggle, presenting the plate of crystal shrimp. Despite her jokes, she did seem a bit nervous about how opinionated someone might be about her meal.

"Did you cook this?"

“Yeah! It’s not too fancy, but I thought you might like it like this?”

The grilled fish on a stick was vaguely reminiscent to how she would cook Mondstadt grilled fish, though a little less pretty. Fortunately, she was pretty sure that the last person to care about food presentation was Razor.

"Did you really cook this?"

“Well, I wouldn’t exactly eat anything out of a pot I randomly found in the wild if I didn’t make it, right?”

“Paimon would! Paimon isn’t a coward.”

Lumine glanced briefly to her floating companion, only a little concerned, but still eagerly held the bowl of her seafood soup to Bennett.

"Did you really cook this?"

“Well, adventurers have to be good at more than just swinging a sword around, right?”

Lumine proudly beamed as she handed Lisa a plate of her dumplings. She recalled that Lisa wasn’t a huge fan of big meals, and opted for something that she could leftovers of if it came down to it. At the very least, she wanted to show her appreciation for how helpful and kind she was during Lumine’s time here.

“Did you really cook this?”

“Mhmm! I know you’re always ready to go in the mornings, I wanted to make sure you ate something, too.”

Which is exactly why she’s holding out a plate of tea break pancakes to Amber. You know, the pancakes that are absolutely meant more as an afternoon tea time snack than a breakfast meal? Those ones. Lumine’s doing her best.
