6th Mistake; a delicious mistake
[Mahdi addresses the screen dressed in a red apron with his name embroidered on one side: a perhaps-obviously handmade gift from a friend. The apron and his face and bare arms are smudged with flour and a few streaks of chocolate.]
Um, does anyone want cookies? I made cookies.
[Around this time you may notice that pretty much every inch of the kitchen counter is covered with foil-wrapped paper plates.]
I made a few dozen.
And a pie. Maybe two pies.
Baking is how I vent stress sometimes, I guess, um...
I guarantee these cookies will make everyone feel a bit better! So let me know if you'd like a plate, I can drop it off with you. I'll probably be leaving some at the clinic too.
[OOC: Mahdi's cookies will, miraculously, give one a lingering sense of warmth and affection for a short time, due to his powers of emotional projection.]

Is it difficult? [Mahdi seemed busy already.]
no subject
It's not, you just add hot water. The really delicious kind might be a little complicated for you, since you have to heat milk and it scorches.

[Ico made it to 402 and he knocked on the door.]

no subject
[He smiled briefly. Mahdi looked busy.]
Do you need help? I know a little about making cookies.
no subject
And you can drink some hot cocoa!
no subject
Thank you, Mahdi. Where are they?
no subject
Cocoa's right here! Enjoy! It's just the instant stuff in a travel cup, but it's made with love.
no subject
[Ico looked at the plates.] You made all this because of stress? Will you be okay? [He paused.] Were you there?
no subject
...I did go. It was very sad. [Worry suddenly overtakes him!] You didn't go, did you?!
no subject
I did. I wanted to save them.
no subject
I can't believe they send kids out to war zones! [Mahdi's voice raises momentarily, but quickly falls.] I'm sorry... Ico, you should be keeping safe. I know you want to help, but you should leave it to the adults.
no subject
Mahdi, you were there. You saw everything. They need help.
no subject
You can help here, can't you? You can run supplies and stuff back at the base. Will you please do that next time?
no subject
No. Not as well as I could fight. Please, let me do this.
no subject
Then again, they might've been right. It was a lot to take on, and he was an adult at the time, if not a mature one.]
...Can you tell me a little bit more about how you fight? Did you fight before you came here?
no subject
[He drew out his sword, which shone with white light. It was large even for an adult. In Ico's hands, it made him look smaller.]
I fought a little before. It was nothing like this.
no subject
But a war like this means you could die. And it means you'll have to kill people.
I don't want that for you. Once your soul is stained that way, it's almost impossible to undo the damage.
no subject
[It seemed wrong to kill the soldiers. As long as he was out there fighting, the people he knocked out were people who were spared from dying by someone else's hand.]
I know I could die, but I have to try. All our worlds are at risk. I need to do this.
no subject
But you're allowed to change your mind, okay Ico? If you ever do.
There's probably gonna be a line you have to cross at some point... and if you can't, or you think it's wrong, it's okay. You are still a child. You don't have to do everything yet.
no subject
[He looked at his sword.]
Doesn't it feel like we've been chosen for this? Out of everyone, we're here. If it was someone else fighting for our worlds, I'd like them to make the right choice.
no subject
I'm not supposed to get involved with human affairs.
...Who do you live with, anyway? Do you have someone who'll be worried if you're away too long?
no subject
I live with Larsa and Kirika. I don't think they'll worry. I'm gone a lot.
