[ The Ring-Spirit simply gives a nod in confirmation, and gets up to go fetch his laptop from his bookbag.

He returns with it in a moment, setting it down on the kotatsu in front of Jonathan. ]

As we've established you can eat, I'll make some sandwiches - unless you'd still rather not? You sound like you could use something more than crackers though. I've also got milk and soda in the fridge, or could make tea...

[standless]

Oh- a sandwich sounds marvelous actually, yes- it seems like it would be a rather smart decision coupled with the ill feelings too, I expect I should avoid anything particularly heavy...

[Which also means...hm.] Best go with milk I fear, though I might see about brewing us a tea to enjoy later if that's fine enough.

[A look at the kotatsu, as he says this.] I do so love these tables...

[improvking]

Milk, then.

[ He proceeds to bustle around the small kitchen area, gathering plates, cups, sandwich materials... he continues talking absently as he busies himself. ]

Mn, they're great, aren't they? Japanese - "kotatsu" they're called. There's a heater underneath it for when it gets cold... I'm glad the sanctuary came as a little apartment rather than anything more traditional. It's much more comfortable for actually living in.

[standless]

I do wonder if it would be possible to procure one for myself...I'm certain Queenie would adore such a device! Though I do wonder how any fire hazards were avoided...

What would have been traditional, if I may?

[improvking]

Hm... getting a kotatsu, that's a good question. I don't know if they make them here. I don't think I've seen any... though I haven't been looking for them either. You might ask on the network if anyone here knows how to build one. I'm not really a craftsman myself... I know Mana could get you one for certain.

[ He pauses in his sandwich-making for a moment as he tries to think back to more clearly remember the answer to Jonathan's direct question. ]

Uh... it's been a while... buuut I think it was a mostly-empty room? Usually just a statue of the temple's main god, something for the priests to attend to... and given how much trouble I dealt with due to not having a form to inhabit - yeah I'm gonna guess there were no statues of me lying around.

[ He gestures a bit with a knife as he returns to his task. ]

Last sanctuary I had wasn't a traditional one either, but it was also mostly-empty... a central dais featuring the Millennium Tablet, and leading to the (closed, sealed shut) Door to the Afterworld. I wouldn't have minded getting that one back, I think I lived it in back during my mortal self's life - but this arrangement is just all-around better.

[standless]

Would she indeed? Despite it not being a device from this world nor my own? [He'll certainly have to ask, but it does seem nice at least...

For the time being though, he tries envisioning the rooms that Richard describes. An Egyptian temple, that certainly makes sense- but indeed, he can see how there would be an issue of form, least of all the form of one the Egyptians likely wanted to see nothing of. If he closes his eyes he thinks he can picture it, but...]

I think I quite agree- it's far more suited for living in, like this, and the chambers you describe were no doubt not intended for such things, even if that ended up the case. I'm quite glad you have this now- and certainly not merely because I've woken up here! [he adds with a laugh.]

[improvking]

[ The Ring-Spirit pauses in his preparations as Jonathan reminds him that they're not from the same place and time. ]

Oh that's right... they're common when and where I'm from, but you... hm. Hadn't thought of that.

[ He does a few quick mental calculations, then shrugs easily and returns to the sandwiches. ]

Well, it's worth asking if she can do it - and if she can't get one for you, I am sure she could get one for me-for-you, so let me know what she has to say.

[ And the sandwiches are now finished! Simple fare, mild in flavor to accommodate Jonathan's current condition. The Ring-Spirit sets them on the kotatsu, then fetches a glass of milk for Jonathan and a soda for himself... it's all very pleasantly domestic. ]

me lookin at some of the nonsense the victorians had like: hehe

[standless]

Oh-! I would be ever so grateful if it came to that, [he cheers, beaming. Sandwiches, drinks, it's all very nice.] Should that come to be the case, you must tell me if there's anything from my own era that has ever struck your fancy however- for a matter like this, it's only fair to make it a cultural trade of sorts I think!
