Around a small, circular, folding table, three chairs were set. Aster, Cassy, and Kali were all sitting around it, looking at the food that was prepared with as much care as possible.
Aster and Cassy both had one slice of steak, together with a full serving of noodle soup. Kali, on the other hand, had a small bowl of soup with two servings of steak, the best cuts that Aster got from the wolf.
"What are you waiting for?" Aster asked, smiling wryly. "Dig in before it gets cold."
Aster's seal's passive was a little weird at times. Usually, it returns all temperatures around a meter of Aster to room temperature. But when he was cooking, neither the fire nor the item being cooked were affected.
When plated, however, the passive would get applied once again after a few seconds of delay, returning the temperature to the median. As such, he had to move quickly to not let the soup or steak lose their warmth!
