[Pierce doesn't normally make announcements, except when it comes to internal company memos and the like. He keeps things strictly business most of the time, but he is making this addition to the network from his communal housing room. He looks grave and upset, but he is clearly wanting those who might wish to know the information that he has obtained.]

To anyone who knew and was friends with Miss Ava Orlova, I regret to have you inform you all that she has returned back through the portal. While we had only begun to build a relationship, she was the closest person to having one of my daughters back, and I will miss her.

[He sighs heavily and folds his hands together, managing a grief-stricken smile.]

If anyone has any stories of her exploits, I would very much value hearing about them.

I'm slowly learning how to cook...it's just a matter of finding the time.

I have a slow cooker in the mean time.

[peacemongering]

It's more a matter of priority than time. If you want to learn, you'll find the time after all.

Slow cookers are wonderful.

[talentedscavenger]

Fair point, but it's easy to have the slow cooker, but it would be best to put in the time to learn.

Regardless, my offer for dinner still stands.

[peacemongering]

There is an interesting finesse to cooking. It can open many doors, including that of conversation.

I have no reason not to take you up on it.

[talentedscavenger]

Can it? That's something I haven't before.

Any requests?

[peacemongering]

Of course. Food is an easy topic to bring up. It gives you an inside on people's likes and dislikes.

A soup or stew would be wonderful.

[talentedscavenger]

True, and it's a safe topic to talk about.

I'll find something that we'll both like. I should be at your place in...thirty minutes? If that's alright?

[peacemongering]

Exactly! Few people become overly offended talking about food, unless it's neon coloured and flavoured pasta.

I will be home, so feel free to drop in when time permits.

[talentedscavenger]

Why would you want neon pasta? Is that really a thing in your world?

I'll be there as soon as I can. See you soon, Alexander.

[Rey ends the communication there and heads out the door. It does take about thirty minutes for her to find a place that offers stews and find something that might interest him. A beef stew that had different veggies in that caught her attention. She also purchased a loaf of bread and made it to Alexander's place and knocked on the door.]
