It was the next morning and you and Hunter were eating while chatting about the other night.

"Yeah, so she gave me this thing and said that we have to go on some type of 'trial mission'." You filled Hunter in. 

"And of course you two had to be acting all crazy and chaotic in the background." You gave him a look and gestured to Steve who was sitting at Hunter's desk eating something weird, that looked like it was staring at you, and was on his Penstagram scroll.

"I'm sorry. Though, I didn't think you cared that much." He stated.

"Yeah, but it was still awkward for me. First Impressions are forever lasting ya know." You huffed.

"Oh, do you know what the mission is?" He asked excitedly.

"Actually, no. I never checked since we had to clean the mess you two made." You gave him a small glare and he put his hands up in defense.

You got off the floor and received the packet from his desk.

"Why, here ya go, sir" You said as you tossed it on the ground in front of him. He took a bite of his breakfast, which you couldn't stop staring at, and turned the cover open.

"Hmmmm, says here we will be going to the library to try recovering a specific book that was donated there years ago."

"Why do we have to go on a whole mission to find a book? It shouldn't be that hard, right?"

"Yeah, but it's a particular book that might be held in the forbidden section." He shrugged, taking another bite of his food.

You glared at it confused.

"What's-a for-forbiting section?" You asked still focusing on his food.

It was all gross and lumpy. You swore you saw a small fairy wing sticking out of it.

"The forbidden section? Well it's a- are you even paying attention to me?" He asked, a bit irritated.

"Yeah sure sure. What are you eating again?" You questioned.

"Tch" He exhaled.

"Oh! Sorry, sorry! That just keeps distracting me. It looks so . . .un-eatable." You apologize.

"Yeah, it is a little odd. But I sort of like it, so it's whatever, right?" Hunter reasoned.

"Hmmmmm," Your brain was now on thinking mode and you were contemplating this meal as the gears turned in your head.

"Oh, no." Hunter said as you jumped back up.

"Ahha! We go on our own mission!" You state

"What, why?" Hunter replied.

"Um, so we can make you a proper dish. Sure, the food here is different then back home. But some of your stuff resembles some on my stuff, so I could definitely try to make something good for you . . . right?" You suggested.

"Um, ya know what-I've got nothing better to do. Plus this could help get me ready for tomorrows actual mission." Hunter said, jumping up in determination.

"Ok. Well you two have fun then." Steve said, standing up and heading for the door. 

He glanced back, "And try not to get hurt like last time." He commanded, pointing his fingers at his eyes and then at the two of you.

"Ok, thanks for understanding Steve." You holler as he shuts the door.

"Now, were shall we begin?"

You asked Hunter about various ingredients for the food of your choice. You explain them and he helps you figure out what would be the closest matching source.
