no one and nothing can break through
[Well! That sure did happen!
Bruno does not organize an afterparty. He's not a party organizer in general - that was Wu. But he knows he was completely useless, if not downright actively unhelpful, during that whole thing, and he already feels guilty enough. He has to be useful somehow. Otherwise, why's he even here?
So, before everyone can leave the teleportation circle in the dining room and all go their own separate ways, Bruno mumbles something about making food and takes off for the kitchen. He'll be there for a couple of hours, whipping up some quick chicken sancocho, with Olive on rice duty. Azul can be in charge of actually grabbing people and bringing them in - god forbid Bruno do anything like that - but if anyone does happen to be there to take one, he'll make them up a bowl. Otherwise, he's just gonna leave it all warming on the stove.
There's also some arroz con leche simmering for later, if anybody wants dessert! He'll put cinnamon in it, and then add some hot chocolate to the lineup as well. He's no Julieta, of course, but at least he's made something? It's not enough, but it's...something.]

Well, it would be healing anyway. It's not one of those gifts where you have to do something special, it's just her. When we were little, she got it to work with "herbal soup" - that's when you're a kid and putting a bunch of random plants in a pot seems like cooking.

[ how to put this... ]
That doesn't make food that doesn't heal people worse. It's just weird to me, that's all - calling it "a waste," I mean.

[Ah, now we're flashing back to some family arguments.]
Every day, for...oh, decades, easy...she'll make a bunch of food and set up a stall in the town square. Arepas, usually, she can make a lot of those at once. People depend on her being there. So, if I made arepas...that's just time and resources for food that won't help anyone. I actually did that once, years ago, and they ended up mixed in with hers - ay, that was a nightmare. That was when we decided I'd just stick with preparing ingredients.

That's... one heck of an important job. But you should still be able to cook if you want to.

Eh, Julieta's better at it and she likes it more. It's not really a big deal. Anyway, I cook occasionally now! Got an old camping stove into my room three or four years back - it doesn't always work, but it's good enough!
