It was then that at first Ronin felt somewhat embarrassed and perplexed at the same time by the whole incident of the burning linen but then again soon after. While Jessica had taken care of douse then discarding of it that with a slight whiff of the smell of the burning cloth co-mingling with the slight sight of the slab of meat on the dish. That a faint memory or what he assumed been of one crossed his mind as such that gave him pause. As such that while he stood there to note the look on Jessica face after which turn towards him that she began speaking.

"Concentration is key here. Also, because you were distracted, you left an unfinished job of using pyrokinesis to cook the karkan ribene. Get the karkan ribene cooked and then we can move on to the next and final topic..."

That his mind slightly fazed out for a moment towards the end as he could have sworn a faint memory come back to him. One which for what it's worth although incomplete painted a slightly different spin on his earlier reaction. One which he could remember the sound of rustling fabric....smell of charred flesh and of something else .... one which he could not quite place while in the foreground came to the voice. Deep as it were menacing....speaking thought before he could recall the words that it no sooner slips back into obscurity. With him slip back to the present and hear her words end with.

"... We shall see if that karkan ribene is any better than the one you ate."

At which time seem brushing off the faint racing of his heart due to the unexpected slip in his consciousness. That he sort try to shrug it off and lifting a hand behind his neck spoke.

".....sorry my bad. I guess my try wasn't good enough and will as you said...concentrate....do better.... finish the job...and try not give anyone else another bad case of indigestion or worse food poisoning?"

And with that said pushing all other thought aside, he then turns his attention back towards the slab of meat. At this time his attempt seems to bear a slightly better outcome. For slowly yet surely one could hear a faint sizzling sound as from within the meat on the plate heated up. As soon after he seems to be making some progress on the task at hand. Although now with a rough understanding of which had been the reason for his failure earlier. He had a better chance of avoiding a repeat of the earlier incident. And had as far he recon a better outcome for the tasks asked of him earlier by Jessica. As he then turns towards her to speak.

"Well...hopefully, this would do it for now?"

 

[Jessica Med-Beq]

"Much better"

Now that she could feel the karkan ribene [member="Ronin Wendigo"] just heated using pyrokinesis has actually reached the inner temperature required for the doneness Ronin wanted it to have, that plate was taken to their table, where Ronin was originally seated. This time around, there were no other outstanding meals on the docket, other than the pie à la mode, so that she could fetch a bowl containing just enough powdered ice cream to serve two slices of pie à la mode. One of which would be Jessica's, and the other could be Ronin's if he wants to. Even though she knew that simply using PV = NRT as a support for cryokinesis seemed to be less and less effective with colder gases - in fact, it's more effective on high-temperature, low-pressure (and the corresponding low density) gases, she'd rather let Ronin deal with the ice cream, and perhaps eat half the content of the bowl, knowing the other half will be on Jess' pie slice. Once the bowl of powdered ice cream is in front of Ronin, she starts giving her explanations about how to use cryokinesis and also a few precautions.

"Now for cryokinesis: it is, functionally, the reverse of pyrokinesis, hence why I usually teach both in the same session. Instead of it being about making molecules dance, it's about calming molecules down. Usually, the caveats that apply to pyrokinesis, will apply to cryokinesis as well"

It was then with seem seeing the look of approval from Jessica whom no less took note of the way he glances at the plate as it lay before him. For if nothing else the scent of it brought about mix feeling within him thought for the most part. He kept the lingering old memories that had somehow resurfaced earlier at bay and instead gave into the latter one. Which she seems have bought into as the plate was then taken away and served at a nearby table where he earlier sat upon. At which time turn to her first he then noted Jessica shift gear by grabbing and prepare something else in the Kraken steak plates place before speaking.

"Now for cryokinesis: it is, functionally, the reverse of pyrokinesis, hence why I usually teach both in the same session. Instead of it being about making molecules dance, it's about calming molecules down. Usually, the caveats that apply to pyrokinesis, will apply to cryokinesis as well."

To which he then turns his attention towards the bowl of powder Icescream set before him and with a nod spoke.

"Ok, guess here goes nothing..."

With that said he then turns his attention to the task at hand thought to make sure this time having learned from the mistakes earlier. Regarding distraction and the consequence of not clear his mind of outside influence that he then seems to make better progress. Realizing and acting upon the intrusion of another wayward memory before it could hinder his activities. And be able to refocus on something else more manageable ....something like says the memories of being in Illum once. Walking thru its barren tundra help kept him focused and more attuned to make good enough progress. And achieve somewhat of a success in his goal on some levels....as soon enough the contents as well some the rim edge of the bown had frozen to a point. As he then turn towards her wait see if by what chance she thought of his progress thus far was.
