[ Scar is quietly grateful that Lust calls frequently while she's away, and he's settled on the couch with Daniel when he answers. This... isn't what he wanted to hear, though. Lust talking about people leaving makes an uncomfortable knot settle in his stomach. He feels badly for her on the level that she has lost a friend, but this is also a grim reminder that this is going to happen to one of them, someday. ]
[ That just hurts. Scar's brow droops with sadness for her, and he can't help the urge to want to reach out and touch her, right now. ]
[ Talking through these screens really is miserable. Scar has become so much more sympathetic to the odd, almost childlike problems she faces, here. Like the loss of a first friend. ]

I said he 'tried' to teach me, not that he was successful. He sent me recipes all the time.
[For some reason, just talking about Kirikou helps. She knows he has a perfectly fine life he's gone back to, but she's also very aware that he'll never call her in the middle of the night just to chat again. It's strange, how much that bothers her.]
The other Pokemon he left to me...it's his Clefairy he taught to cook. I think that was on purpose.
I made a vegetable stir fry last night that wasn't awful. The rice was too sticky, but it was edible.
[She's quiet a moment.]
I miss you.
[It's more clear an expression of emotion and affection than she's usually comfortable with, but she's low and emotional right now. And she does miss him. Especially right now.]

That would make sense. You won't starve when you're without a restaurant, now.
