"I'd just have you cutting vegetables, are you capable of that Dave?" His voice was snark and smug at the same time as he made his way into the kitchen. He didn't miss the comment to his collection, fins flushing as he simply turned and upped the finger at him. "Shut up. They're better than the alternian version." He stuck his tongue out before returning to getting ingredients down, pulling beef strips out of the freezer and setting them down in the sink, checking the use by date on the packaging and setting them to defrost under cool running water as he went for the vegies.

"Man, my weapon of choice is a katana, I think I can handle some vegetables, though I could be wrong." He rolls his eyes, smirking, and hums as he thinks of which one he should pick. He ends up going with the first one. Maybe they could watch two or three in order.

Placing the dvd on top of the couch, he closed the cupboard, and walked back into the kitchen, washing his hands as Eridan got the stuff he'd need. "And I bet they aren't. Harry potter with horns sounds fucking great to me." He still didn't understand how there were troll versions of human stuff for nearly everything. But then again... it was probably the other way around, since trolls had been around for longer. He just went with it at this point. "Where do you keep the knives?"

"The troll ones are really fucking stupid. A lot more unnecessary deaths an' quadrant confusion an' don't even get me started on the camera angles an' shitty effects. So much fake blood it's like a Tarantino movie." He rolled his eyes, shaking his head slightly and pointing at a drawer. "Vegie knives are in there. The troll ones are just really crap, an' yeah okay at least they got the creatures right an' the battleship memorabilia is fantastic but it's just a really shitty movie. I like the human version a lot lot better."

Dave grabs a sharp looking knife, and looks around for the cutting board for a little longer, though he eventually finds it. "Quadrants in harry potter? Well that does make it sound a little less.... just less. I don't know, I feel like romance was never the main plot of it, it was mostly harry being like "Hey, we're going to die" and everyone else being like "ahah, nice joke harry, now back to what we were doing." but with more deaths and sirius black." As he spoke, Dave started cutting up some vegetables, being careful with his fingers, and doing it in a quick, effective, way.

"Romance was definitely not the main point, but it had big effects on parts of it. It was more relationships an' all that. The troll ones just added more into it, created irrelevant characters for quadrants an' shit because it's what we're familiar with. We don't really get how humans can have just one quadrant, or none at all. It's why we understand that poly relationship stuff you guys call it. It's familiar to us, safe ground you could say. The rest is just confusing." He glanced at Dave,reaching above him to grab a bunch of spices for the meat and moving back. "So if you want to watch a more confusing Harry Potter go for the troll one." He pulled the meet free of the packaging, tipping it out into the frypan with the oil and add a little bit of spice.

He made a face at the new information, shaking his head. "The movie adaptations were already crappy, adding more people to the clusterfuck doesn't seem to help. One "quadrant" is easier, it's just a person you really admire and like to be with, the end. Not that complicated. Now quadrants, that's a whole new level of clusterfuck-ness. Even polygamous relationships are easier to understand, it's just one quadrant but multiplied."

2015-07-02 05:30:18

🌀

Eridan listened for a bit, quiet as he stirred the meat around the pan and added a bit more spice. "That's probably where I fucked up with my past quadrants. Your quadrant is your quadrant, if they're your black, they stay your black. None of that vacillating bullshit that I always did. There's one thing that humans really don't get about quadrants though, an' I can understand why they don't, but a black relationship isn't abuse. It's making your partner better at being themselves. Bottom line, quadrants are there for you, they have your back, even if they hate you. Be it pale, red or black." He looked up at him and shrugged. "I get why it never makes sense to anyone though."

2015-07-02 05:33:23

"I speak for myself, but it would help if you didn't call it black quadrant, because the name alone doesn't give off very good vibes." He shook his head a little. "I don't know much about quadrants either, but I will take your word for it. I just don't understand it because I suppose I've never felt that type of thing. Or maybe I have, but didn't really understand it as a romantic attraction? I don't know, my life is confusing and quadrants are hard." He gets a small bowl, and pushes the cut veggies in there with the knife, before continuing with his task. "Doesn't it get tiring though? Just having one partner is already pretty time consuming, though in a good way, I suppose. What I'm trying to get at is that four quadrants to manage is a lot of shit, and I praise whoever manages to do it."

2015-07-02 05:38:17

"Is someone has all four quadrants they're practically considered a hero, a messiah, something praise worthy. No one has all four quadrants filled." He shrugged and took the bowl with the already cut veggies, tipping them into the stir fry and moving to the fridge to get a sauce. "I don't really know how to answer that. It wasn't really tiring when I had mine. Probably because I barely talked to one face to face an' the other had a penchant for trying to bash my head in." He wrinkled his nose and moved on, "You just balance them I guess. Having a red an' a pale would be easy, seeing as its more or less the same sorta feelings. All pity there, ones just got more sexual attraction in it. Black an' pale was difficult, an' it's worse when your pale partner tended to disregard things. Black an' red would be interesting, especially if your black partner an' your red partner were quadranted or knew each other." He shrugged again, setting the sauce aside for now, not really wanting much in at the moment. "It's all about balance an' time I guess. Like I said, I wouldn't know. Never got the hang of it."

2015-07-02 05:43:39

"I just have one question that is really bothering me. The red quadrant thing, you said it's about pity, but I don't get it. Why would you want to stay with someone you pity? I mean, why not someone you admire and like to be with? Am I just getting something wrong here, is that not a thing for trolls?"

2015-07-02 05:46:09

🌀

He set down the wooden spoon and turned to look at Dave for a bit, quiet and brow furrowed as he thought. "It's about... Caring for someone kind of pity. You love them enough that you can't stand for them to be alone an' you're attracted to them sexually. I guess you could be with someone you admired an' liked. Trolls just call it pity. It's the emotion you feel for someone I guess. You just... care?"

2015-07-02 05:48:35

●

"Oh." He blinks a little, but ends up nodding. "That makes more sense. When I heard 'pity' I imagined a sort of scenario where you find a hurt puppy, it wasn't really clicking with me. Thanks for the clarification though, that's just love then. Good to know." Humming softly, he turns his head to look at him for a second. "How much more do you need?"

2015-07-02 05:50:52

🌀

He nodded, glancing at the meat and then at Dave. "Just one more carrot. You alright with me putting ketjap in it?" He stirred the meat again, reaching into the cupboard above his head for another saucepan and went looking for the rice. "Do you want rice with it?" He asked as an afterthought.

2015-07-02 05:53:07

●

"Ketchup? Sure, I don't mind it." He nods, continuing to chop up the second carrot. He soon was done with it, and so grabbed another one, a slightly bigger carrot. "Sure, if you're having some, I might as well." He nods, looking back at Eridan

2015-07-02 05:57:04

🌀

"No, not ketCHUP, ketJAP." He showed him the bottle, and it was clear it was used to improve the taste of stirfrys and similar dishes.

He nods in reply though, filling the kettle with water and putting it to boil. He poured out about half a cup of rice, measuring by rule of thumb for the both of them. "You want anything else with this or are you alright with this or do you want something added in? It's pretty simple."

2015-07-02 06:00:58

●

"I have no idea of what that is, but it sounds like ketchup, and ketchup is good, so im going to say yes. As for the rice, hm.. I'm pretty alright with it, honestly, but I usually add in tomato sauce." He finally finishes up the third one, and goes to wash the knife and the cutting board

2015-07-02 06:05:03

🌀

Eridan just rolled his eyes and added only a little bit in. Enough to change the taste but not overwhelming in case Dave didn't like it. "Isn't ketchup tomato sauce?" He looked up at him, taking the carrots and adding them into the mix. "I have some in the fridge regardless, so if you want some you can add it in ass you wish when I dish up." He stirred the rice and the stirfry separately, grabbing a fork from the drawer and spearing a piece of meat to try.

2015-07-02 06:07:45

●

"Jesus christ, of course it isnt." He wrinkles his nose. "Ketchup has this sweet taste to it, tomato sauce its just that. Just, these big bottles of it, made for cooking, Jane told me about them. I add in onions too when i do that, but seriously, its fine. Better than a burger." He put the things back in place, and stood back, watching

2015-07-02 06:10:32

🌀

"Well you've got tomato sauce an' then you've got tomato sauce. I'm pretty sure there's a difference even there." He shrugged regardless and pointed to large drawer across the kitchen. "Plates an' bowls are in there. Choose whichever an' bring 'em here. This is nearly ready." He'd already taken forks and spoons out of the drawer and set to the side out of the way as he stirs the meat/vegetable mix.

2015-07-02 06:13:40

●

He decided not to argue about it, since even he couldnt put a finger on the difference, though he claimed it was there. "Alright, hold on." Walking up to the drawer, grabbing two bowls. "Why the hell do you keep plates and bowls in a drawer though?" He asked, closing the door with his hip, before returning

2015-07-02 06:16:45

🌀

"Why not? It's a big enough drawer an' I use all my cupboards for food stuff. Like spices an' dry foods an' stuff." He shrugged and looked over at him, taking the bowls and setting them aside as he drained the rice into a colander. "Do you want to dish yourself up?" He grabbed a dish-up spoon, scooping rice into his bowl and then the stir fry mix. "Take however much you want."

2015-07-02 06:19:22

●

"I don't know, it feels weird and unnatural." He shrugs, watching him for a little while. "Oh I'm good with a bowl, makes it easier to mix." Dave smiled, serving himself once Eridan had done so as well, and grabbing himself a spoon to mix it. "I've set asside the first HP movie, hope you dont mind if we watch that one."

2015-07-02 06:23:05

🌀

Eridan grabbed one of the forks and spoons he'd set out, making sure all the burners were turned off on the stove before he walked back to the lounge. "I don't mind watching that. Been a while since I watched any movie, what with all this studying I've been doing." He grimaced and settled himself into the mess of blankets he'd left early that day.

2015-07-02 06:26:14

●

"You definitely need to chill. But then again, I do too." Dave plops down on the other end if the couch after he set up everything so that the dvd was playing, slowly eating as he leaned back against the very comfortable couch.

2015-07-02 15:23:27

🌀

"Can't chill until exams are over. Can only take little breaks." He grinned slightly and settled in to watch the movie. This couch was very comfortable, he'd napped on this more then he napped on his bed. The blankets were tucked around himself while he ate, attention focused on the movie.
