Thought a change of scenery might be kinda nice.

[He heads like he's going back to the anti-grav chamber - takes a turn a different way, instead, and opens another door]

C'mon in.

[Enters, taking a look around]

[It's something like this]

[The light all comes from the soft bioluminescence of the plantlife, as well as small floating wisps that flicker and glow like fireflies. Up above, the sky looks like the one in the anti-grav room, endless stars and constellations and nebulae]

Whoa...

[Gawks, eyes wide]

When'd you get all this?

While back. Dunno who asked for it, but it ain't half bad.

[Tips his chin toward one of the paths]

C'mon, it ain't far.

Awesome...

[Follows, lagging a bit, looking around as they go]

Wow... You guys got all kinds of rad stuff, nowadays...

I mean, why not, right? Gotta do something with the points.

I'm thinking some kinda crazy room with a bunch of water slides next.

[It's visible just up ahead now; someone's spread a picnic blanket out on the ground, near a patch of mushrooms that give off a soft blue glow]

[There seems to be two small flickers of flame going, though they aren't candles. It's hard to tell what it is, from this distance]

[Will 'o wisps??? Approaching to see]

Whoa, nice. Sekhmet had me thinking about home onsen, though I dunno if I trust the team not to do weird stuff in there... Water slides you don't gotta worry as much, though.

This place is pretty rad, though...

[What's at the picnic??]

Home onsen'd be awesome in you guys' style. Man, can you imagine? I bet it'd be like some cool stone thing.

[The flame is in fact flame... more specifically, the fire keeping the sukiyaki heated. There are also bowls of rice, and a couple of drinks in plastic bottles from the conbini, and a few chocolate puddings that he absolutely put in wine glasses because the pudding cups got wrecked with the last batch,]

Look at all this!

[Trots up to examine, dumping her six-pack of sparkle water at the edge of the blanket with a low whistle]

You really went all out.

Figured if I was gonna do it, I better do it right.

Yeah, well, pretty sure you did it more than right.

...You wanna dig in?

S'what it's here for.

C'mon, let's eat.

[Settles in at an angle she can see the exits, and tugs him down as well]

Never had a goblin cave sukiyaki before.

You and me both, dude. First time for everything, right?

[Helps himself to some chopsticks]

[Does the same]

Ittadakimasu!

[And goes to swish some meat]

[Digs in, himself]

[It is... surprisingly good, actually, given his track record on baking. Cooking and baking got different skill point allotments, apparently]

[Adding ingredients to pot is a lot easier than worrying about stirring and temperatures and that sort of thing]

[At any rate, she seems pleased enough, eating slowly enough to savor each bite]

[Doesn't seem especially in a hurry, either; he takes a break for some rice before he gets back to it]

[A couple of the glowing things from the sky have settled in his hair, and he hasn't noticed]

[Looks up at him, eyes soft; doesn't tell him (what if he knocks them off?) and instead looks more around the cavern, where's this stuff coming from]

[It doesn't seem clear; they're just ambient points of light, floating lazily through the chamber]

[Huh..]

...You come down here a lot?

...so-so?

S'kinda nice, and some of the paths are good for like hiking and whatever. Couple of the big mushrooms, you can climb all the way to the top.

Whoa. Maybe we can check 'em out, later. Walk off the feast.

I'm in if you are. The view's pretty awesome.
