[ the door opens and io is just standing there in the doorway a moment before stepping to the side and allowing shouxue in. the galley is fairly spacious, with what looks to be top-of-the-line stuff. a stove, a massive fridge, a cryo freezer, a prep island, and dozens of cabinets and counter space.
all of which are modern fare so like. good luck. (she has help, it's okay.) ]
It's a lot to put away, but... I believe some have been using their galley access to feed others some homecooked food, so best to keep things stocked.
[ a nod ]
Thank you for your help. I know the circumstances are less than ideal.
[ this is so modern for her. at least she's a quick enough learner once she gets over the novelty. some things she can guess what they are, but a cryo freezer? what the heckie. ]
People are showing more generosity than expected, but I will help in return for whatever food I receive. [ among other things. ]
I don't do anything without a price, so I don't expect anything without one either.
[ most things are self-explanatory, a pantry with clearly labeled things, the refrigerator is cool with bins of separated produce. it's just A Lot (well, for a crew like theirs it's suitable.)
at that:
Of course. I did offer to make something in return. Do you have favorite things to eat...?
[ that's fine. the little tomatoes on the counter can simply chillax. io doesn't seem to show any kind of Disappointment or anything. just a small ? on their helmet pops up. ]

she wants to be a little dignified, but her immediate thought gives her away: baozi with lotus seed paste. ]
no subject
Pardon... What do they taste like?
no subject
Warm and sweet and comforting. The bao is soft and warm, and the filling is sweet and nutty, and it is the best combination.
[ she is so sure. her vibe is convinced despite her muted expression. ]
no subject
That does sound good. Is it like a steamed sort of bread...?
[ hazarding a guess! ]
no subject
[ she's so used to not knowing anything here. she didn't think baozi wouldn't be universal. ]
no subject
[ another small head tilt. ]
I could look into figuring out... bao. I wouldn't mind learning if you bear with me taking the time.

[ it won't be the end of the world. ]
You can take your time. I didn't expect it today in the first place.
