Now that everyone has hopefully had enough time to recover from the events regarding those tunnels and the mysterious creature within...

I have been thinking about that quite a bit, I must confess. Isn't it intriguing that, even in a world so developed and known as this, there are still mysteries spread throughout it?

Species we are not familiar with. Legendaries that evade all attempts to be known. Macaroni and cheese boxes which boast about their cheesiness and which yet contain no packet.

[One of these things is not like the other.]

So, my question to others in our predicament is... What mysteries have held your attention, whether in this place, or your homelands?

For myself, personally, I have ended up stumbling onto the answers of many practical matters. Medicine, food, things of that nature. It is still incredible to me how Johto and Kanto manage to handle it all so readiliy, to the point that even travelers such as ourselves can live comfortably with some effort.

Yet I wonder more about these Legendaries as well, and what an interesting presence they possess....

That's all well and good...

But does Dimitri know? If he's concerned enough to be asking the network, he really needs to be in the loop.

He does not. I have no pride in his ignorance on this matter, but I feel that it is to his benefit.

[That explanation sounds inadequate, even to his own ears.]

His Highness' diet has not been what one would consider nutritionally complete for a very long time. He heavily favors this noodle dish and often seeks it out, but I am concerned that it provides little benefit for him. If I make the sauce myself, I can add to it in ways that fill his nutritional gaps without restricting him from something that brings him joy.

[He hides so many vegetables in that cheese sauce, you have no idea, Shiro. Dedue spent weeks figuring out how he could add vegetables and maintain the correct cheesy consistency.]

... You're... changing out the cheese packets. For homemade sauce. Okay.

[Just going to. Rub his temples for a second. This is very, very considerate of whoever this is. But also...]

You really should just tell him.

If someone was going through all that trouble for me, without telling me, I'd feel awful. Touched, but awful. I'd rather they just came to me and talked about it.

It was not uncommon for me to perform tasks for His Highness outside of his awareness. I did so more often when I was his vassal and retainer, but I still do not find it burdensome to take care of his needs before he recognizes the necessity of my actions.

[Y'know, like supplementing his diet with vegetables hidden in cheese sauce so that he doesn't get scurvy or some other vitamin deficiency disease. There are so many of those, he was entirely unaware before. Grant gave Dedue books on nutrition and now he knows so much about how a poor diet can slowly erode physical and mental health. New fear unlocked.]

However, I will consider your advice. It was never my intention to cause distress.

That's... I get that. I do. And maybe I'm wrong. I can't say I know him as well as someone like Grant, or you, would.

I just think people should communicate. It makes for better friendships, relationships... all of that.

[And if you don't, you end up like him! Stupid decisions and clamming up at the wrong time!]
