Even with averting the majority of my eyelets, the ones on the edges still see them. But I cannot help that; I try not to think about them...

And I fail. How could I possibly be worthy of a love like they share?!

We finally reach headquarters (as it were), and Sight Jack calls me to help her with the cooking. "I'll do what I can, of course..." I tell her in reply. Mentally, I thank her for the distraction. Perhaps in an hour alone, those two will calm down?

SIGHT JACK:

There is a tenseness in the air as I lead Omega into the kitchen.
“Are you ok?” I ask in a gruff way, “You are acting stranger than usual. If its about the over bearing responsibility of leading the only thing that can bring back unity to the universe, don’t worry about it. Just think of it this way. If we fail all that will happen is … we die.” I said with a sarcastic smirk. I started unpacking the bags of vegetables.

“Ok, I am going to show you how to make Ratatouille. It sounds fancier than it really is.” I handed him a knife and an onion. “The first thing we need to chop up some veggies.”

"Actually, it's about their overbearing displays of affection..." I shake my head. "But I can't blame them for it."

She hands me a knife, and then some other object. "All right, I'd been trained in knives... but what's this for?"

SIGHT JACK:

I slap my palm to my forehead and groaned. Had he never seen an onion before? He probably lived off those food replicator things. I would have to start from square one with this kid. I sighed and prepared my lecture.

I turned to him and held up another onion. “This is a bulb plant raised for its pungent taste better known as the onion or bulb onion.” I pick up the knife and start to peal off the first layer of skin. “It also has high Sulfur compounds.” I place the onion on a clean area of the table and began to cut through the middle of it.

“Come closer please, so I see through your eyes to cut. Don’t want to chop off a finger or something. Now, when you cut into it, you slice through cells which contain the sulfur compounds. Sulfur is quite noxious and very volatile, so you are probably starting to feel the noxious fumes irritating your eyes. You…er… might even start crying.”
I continue to chop up one half of the onion into smaller pieces. “Now there is a way to help take out the sulfur in the air.” I stop my chopping, wipe my hands on my pant’s legs, and head over to my box of things. I pull out a candle and a match. I then place the candle by the chopping area and light it.
“The flame takes the air from around it and sends it up the smoke plume pulling the sulfur away from your face.” I hand him back the knife. “So now you know the basics of the onion start chopping.” I head back to my cooking things and prepare my makeshift stove.

"We lived in an asteroid mining shack. It wasn't like we could afford real food?" I explain as she expresses her frustration.

Then she starts explaining the background of the onion; I step closer as she bids. "I am aware of sulfur's properties... they were in the Angtui atmosphere, along with the natural cyanide compounds. My eyelets were made to deal with them." And indeed, there was none of the irritation that her moist singular orbs would be subjected to.

I chop the onion as she bids, and wait for the next directions...

I sigh and pull out more vegetables, “It’s ok. You are not the first person I met who didn’t know how to work with fresh food, and you will have to forgive my science lessons, cuz I will do them often. Its sort of how I use to teach my kids chemistry/cooking when they were young and haven’t quite broken the habit. ” I laid out the veggies in front of him and named them off as I placed them on. “Garlic, eggplant, zucchini, tomato, bell pepper.” Finally, I pull out some herbs and smell them, “(snifff), awww… and fresh parsley and basil.”

As I pull Vi into our room, I tell her, "you know I'm really not that hungry. Maybe we could skip dinner. We don't absolutely have to go. They would understand." She is the only food I desire right now. After all these years I think it is quite understandable to want to make love to my wife.

I smile as I listen to Ayla's request and noddin my head,I tell her
"I agree with you.Let me just leave a short note on the door for the others so we won't be disturbed."

I quickly pen out a short note,reading "Not too hungry at moment.Will join you at breakfast in the morning.Have a pleasant night"
Signed Salu and Ayla

Then I turn to my wife and slowly walk towards the bed holding her and start removing both our clothing at once.This is a night I have dreamed of for years!!!

After some pealing, chopping, and sautéing, Omega and I finished the dish. The sweet tomatoey smell wafted through the dingy kitchen of this decaying hotel. It was the warm and comforting smell that I could not help but close my eyes and think of home. Or at lest what I thought home should be.

I picked up a wooden spoon and tasted the vegetable stew. It wasn’t cooked quite right but it still was quite delicious.

“Perfect…” I said and gave a happy sigh. “Stay with me and I’ll teach you the magic of cooking.”

I passed him a bowl, “I’ll check on the ladies and see if they are ready.”

I tipped my head down and pressed two fingers to my forehead. I didn’t needed to do it to activate my ability, in fact I often used it with no one knowing, but I found this action was a polite way of letting those around me know what I was doing.

I searched around till I found them then cringed back.

“ewww… awa.. Maybe we should start without them.” I searched around to find a clean bowl.

This is an interesting subject, this "cooking"... I will need to learn more if I am to remain useful to Sight Jack and the others.

Then she cringed, and said we should start without the others. "They're... preoccupied?" I ask carefully.

I carefully picked up a bowl and used my touch to guide my way, “By ‘Preoccupied’ you mean ‘going at it like a pair of drunken heterosexual frat grils,’ then yes. Yes they are preoccupied.”

I sat down on the floor and began to eat the warm stew. “Are you ok Omega? You seem … a little more introverted than usual. Want to talk about it?”

"That's... what I figured." I reply to her definition of 'preoccupied'.

Then she asks me if I want to talk about it. "I think I'm being envious, to be honest... though of course I shouldn't be." I shake my head. "They're just another reminder of what I can't have."

I suddenly gagged in surprise. Here I thought the pressure of being leader and the mission ahead of him was getting to him. But no, it was sex. Though I should not have been surprised. He was a teenage boy after all. But then again, maybe there was more to this.

“Oh you can’t um… well I have heard of clones having trouble reproducing but all the plumbing worked but…. If you are…Um.. Sorry. This probably is not helping much. Hey! A life of a eunuch is not that bad. Doesn’t mean you can’t love…. It’s just a different kind of love.”

Now it's my turn to choke! "What?!" I -- to be honest -- squeak out, before a fit of throat-clearing gets me back to my normal vocal range. "I do so have those parts! But who's going to get close enough to check, when they're too scared that my slightest touch will disintegrate them?"

Oh, Abyss... I think that's what was meant by "Too Much Information"?

I thought for a second, mulling over what he had just said. I give a slight snort and smile a little. It’s sad really. He is so much like his father it makes you want to cry.

I quickly finished up my meal and get up.

“Omega, do me a favor and clean up the cooking. If you cover the food and place it in a cool place, it should be still good to eat tomorrow morning.”

I then began to prepare my bed roll for the night and waited for Omega to finish cleaning. I sat down on my mat and motioned for him to sit next to me.
