[Luke really doesn't want to do this, but he did make a promise and he intends to go through with it. Luke flips open the journal, trying to think of the best way to ask this.]

...Could someone help me with cooking for a few days? I hurt my leg a few days ago, and I'm supposed to stay off it...

[As far as he knows, cooking is the only thing he really needs help with. But it still stinks that he's actually going to have to stay in bed for a few days.]

I'd be really grateful, and I'll definitely pay you back for it!

[ LUKE BABY ): ]

How did you hurt your leg?

[tapshoetomove]

In the earthquake. My leg got caught under some debris.

[heloise]

[ NO. She tries not to sound too worried and alarm him. ]

Can you walk?

[tapshoetomove]

Mhm! A nice man healed my leg, and I can walk on it if I need to, but I'm not supposed to be walking on it a lot.

[heloise]

No, you should not. I will bring you food and whatever else you need.

[tapshoetomove]

Just food is what I really need. [He doesn't like the idea of making her do everything for him.] But thank you, I really appreciate it.

[heloise]

What is your favorite?

[tapshoetomove]

Well, my favorite's roast lamb. But I don't think that'd be too easy to get here.

[heloise]

[ Nonsense! The castle grants everything, so now Lucrezia will come by his door to knock with a ghost carrying his requested meal. A whole leg of roast lamb, yep. ]

[tapshoetomove]

[Luke opens the door and...

Yep that really is a roast leg of lamb. His a mixed of flustered and stunned, and when he catches the scent of the food that was brought him, all those mixed-up emotions turn into something more nostalgia.]

Y-you really brought it?! But...

[It's a little difficult to find words.]

You're really amazing!

[heloise]

[ She just laughs, stepping in to direct the ghost to place the plate on some empty space on a table. ]

The castle certainly is!
