I voraciously finished my portion of instant noodles, and as I was about to leave, Forren called out my name.
"Do you mind helping me cook?" He asked me.
'Cooking? What is this man thinking? He's always been fine cooking on his own; what prompted him to seek a bit of help? Especially now, of all times.' I thought as I turned around to check on what he wanted me to help with.
He had many things out, so it wasn't easy to quickly identify the dish he wanted to make. He had thinly sliced carrots that were so thin they resembled noodles. He also had a bunch of cucumbers nearby and some other vegetables, as well as some other cubes of meat soaked in a dark and yellow sauce.
"So what do I have to do?" I asked him as I approached the kitchen stand.
He handed me a peeler and directed me towards the cucumber.
