The goddess walked to the dining space connected to the kitchen, motioning for her to follow. "I have." She assured, retrieving silverware in her way out. It was rare for her to have company like this.

"It smells delicious." She then hummed as she passed the other, setting her meal on the table.

The goddess was humming a soft tune as she worked. The simplicity of a home-cooked meal could not be understated. Seared tilapia on a bed of rice, with vegetables to pair. The goddess made a plate for the other. Picturesque. Perfect.

A pan heated on a stove, seasoning, rice...maybe one other vegetable. Seasoned generously. It was picturesque. Right out of a cookbook.

The goddess worked diligently. Hands following practiced motions. Yet, the library seemed to be in flux. Time shifted oddly around the goddess. Cabinets seemed to suddenly have things that weren't there before. It was to be expected, considering this was her domain. Outside of the sensibilities of —

The goddess hummed softly in reply, giving a small smile. "I hope you enjoy seafood." When was the last time she cooked for someone? A taste of home? No, just the blends she has enjoyed in her lifetimes. Tilapia. Now, what for sides...

ㅤㅤ“Very well.”

"You're more than welcome to do as you would like. But I am the host, and I would like to be able to treat my guest. Unless...we make each other a meal for the other. A favorite dish, perhaps." The goddess paused by a freezer, glancing over her shoulder at the other. "It sounds like a fun game, no?"

ㅤㅤ•° she fell into step with the goddess, moving with her to the kitchen. It looked like any other kitchen she has been in, though perhaps more advanced than the one she owned back home.

ㅤㅤ“I happen to know quite a few recipes.”

The goddess nodded. "Lovely." She said simply. "Mind your footing." The Atrium of the library began to rotate, the shelving moving counter to it before seeming to slide out to the distance and away. A different space instead replaced it, surrounding the Atrium.

After all, she is a psychic creature. So, she ends up in peoples heads.

Which is why, sometimes, she likes to stretch her wings.

Spreading herself out a little. But it can be dangerous for some individuals if not unpleasant.

Imagine being shoved into a box that is the shape of you.

The goddess reached to take the book back. "Ah...yes, I almost forgot." She gently dusted its cover as a pedestal slid over to her side, to which she set it down. "...would you like to join me for lunch?"

Anura looked up from her desk, slowly standing. Nothing seemed physically wrong with the goddess, but she did seem tired. She stepped out from her workspace.
