004th saving smile [voice/action for CH 1]

[selfdoubt]

[The sound of something boiling can be heard in the background followed by the chopping of vegetables. Looks like someone's preparing a hearty meal. For a moment, that's all everyone listening to their journals will be able to pick up until the time Hinata's quiet voice can be heard.]

I... suppose I should have bought more lettuce...

[It seems like she's talking more to herself than to the journals. The quick rustling indicating busy movement can be heard next followed by more chopping of vegetables.

Chop. Chop. Chop.

Until Hinata yelps in surprise.]

Ah-!

[A steel object came falling down the ground and one can only guess it's the knife she's using.]

I should have been more--

[And the voice feed cuts.]

Ah, are you all right?

[Voice]

[selfdoubt]

[All these concerned people. Sob, so embarrassing. ;w;]

Um, yes, I am. It was not a very serious injury.

[Voice]

[of_sablier]

Still, you should be sure to bandage it up so it doesn't get infected. It never hurts to be too careful.

[Voice]

[selfdoubt]

Oh, thank you for the advice. [A smile.] If anything, I will also make sure this will never happen again. [No more getting distracted ajksakjs.]

[Voice]

[of_sablier]

Is this your first time trying to cook, Hinata?

[It's a logical question given how many cooking disasters happen around Luceti on a regular basis.]

[Voice]

[selfdoubt]

Well, um... No, it isn't. [She had cooked several times before.] I was just... well, I suppose I was only a little distracted. [As embarrassing as that to admit.]

[Voice]

[of_sablier]

Not distracted by something bad, I hope. If it was your housemates, you should tell them to be more considerate. After all, you're being kind enough to cook for them, so the least they could do is not get in the way.
