He was concentrating while listening as he nodded. "Yes it should work well and on top of that it will be a bright color with everything else." He was no expert but he did enjoy speaking about similar things and so far with food it was working out good. Sophie Chang

They’d have something colourful to eat at least but another thought crossed her mind. It wouldn’t be hard to make up a bit of dipping sauce and it might not just be them getting this food. “I’ll start on the fish then” she remarked and she made gutting the whole fishes look easy. Then she looked carefully for the bones before teasing them out. Being an organised cook she had the dry ingredients already mixed in a container and just needed to add the water to it. Same went for the dipping sauce. Orson Ridge

He had seen a lot but it was good to see someone so organized as he found a few pieces of cutlery and chopped what he could which was anything good and that he did want to keep. "Did you know how to properly prepare fish for what you wanted before you got here or was it learned here?" Sophie Chang

Fish was something she had started to work with more since she came here. So she learned on the job so to speak. “I didn’t really deal with fish that much with until coming here. I grew up in LA. You can learn a lot from dealing with something new” she replied. “I learned how to cook from my grandma. My father and auntie couldn’t cook and I took that job on” she added. Orson Ridge

"I remember cooking with my grandmother. The nice thing about it was she always let me do things that my parents otherwise would not but that I guess is the pay off for watching your children have children." He thought that was a good feeling, great at times. Sophie Chang

“Grandma still lives in LA. She was happy to have a grandchild to pass cooking onto but my mother couldn’t stay in my life. When my father died my auntie brought me here but I do enjoy cooking” she replied as her filleting continued. Before long the fish was ready for battering and she’d fry it up once the kebabs were fully cooked. “Grandma did let me get away with a lot” she added with a smile. Orson Ridge

"You know you are very intuitive and that is good I also think that it is good that you have something good to look back on in your memories too. Those are things that help in the bad times but you seem to have a good time here too at your home which is good." Sophie Chang

This was her home now; that couldn’t be denied and by the time she was grown up she’d have good memories of the orphanage and the island. Her future would be quite different that what it could have been as well. “I’ve got good friends here. You might run into Carmen and Sawyer soon enough” she replied. Then she checked the roasting vegetables. Not quite done yet. Orson Ridge

"Friends are good. I will see if their is a bar or something around when I am around here for a few more days to work on my own friends. Examples are good to lead by or so I keep getting told but I think they just keep us grounded." Sophie Chang

“I don’t think it’ll be hard to find a bar here but the old town has the ones the tourists won’t find. I did live in the west slums so knew the old town well before coming to the orphanage” Sophie suggested. Not that she’d been inside any of them but they couldn’t be much different from the rough bars she’s seen in her part of LA. Orson Ridge

"I passed through the slums only for a minute before quickly realizing that they were nowhere to be but I also seen that sometimes they were where you had to be. This place is much nicer to say the least but I will never forget that quick run through there either." Sophie Chang

That did seem like a fair assessment to Sophie. “It’s good you know when something isn’t safe. I could still deal with it and even took my friends out on a tour of the west slums. We did manage to extend it further but that was another adventure” she replied. Orson Ridge

"I think even in unsafe spaces if we can explore them during a safe time and go from there then we feel safer when we have to use them. Not a bad deal in the end but I can also see how it could be extremely dangerous and scary in the end all the same." Sophie Chang

"Yeah, Gigi would have had my hide if we'd had needed hospital treatment afterwards as I suggested it. We didn't and it was informative for my new friends. While I lived there I seen everything and dealt with everything from gangs to night workers. It's not a place for the fainthearted" Sophie replied. It was better to keep the explanation simple as she'd done more than just interact with potentially dangerous people. "It's better to stick to the new city but other settlements are sprouting up to the west and east of it. There already was existing fishing villages going back quite a while but these are new villages" she added. Orson Ridge

"Safer?" he said though he had already assumed so but he was also aware that no one could truly no. "I will remember that. I am also going to look into seeing what the woman who runs the orphanage here might need. I can not imagine just one person keeps this place going but if it is just one woman then that is impressive." Sophie Chang
