Who: Nano Shinonome and Xion
Where: Nano's kitchen!
What: ~~Lucy and Ethel~~ Nano and Xion try to make sea salt ice cream together and nearly blow up the kitchen.
Warnings: TRIHARDOOOOOOO. Also action brackets because I do what I want.

[It's Sunday afternoon, and Nano and Xion both have the day off from working at the Amagi Inn. The heat of summer is finally dying out, and pretty soon it'll be too chilly for cold treats, so today Nano has invited her friend over to make sea salt ice cream together. Her intent here is that they can do some bonding as friends, eat it up on the roof, and watch the sunset together. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to Nano or Xion, the lingering effects of the Virgo monster's curse are about to produce a very different result...

But that result will come in due time. For now, Nano's getting everything ready in the kitchen, laying out the ingredients and putting on her apron. Xion should be here any minute, so she wants to make sure everything is ready to go.]

[She's starting to finally start to relax a little, loosing some of the tenseness in her shoulders.]

So what do we do until it's boiling?

It shouldn't take that long for it to start boiling, so we should just wait for it so it doesn't boil over the sides or burn.

Okay.

[Oh man, look how intensely she's staring at that pot to make sure it doesn't boil over.]

Well, it'll still take at least a few minutes...

But you said we should watch it to make sure.

But they also say a watched pot never boils.

[...]

I wonder which it is?

You can prevent it from boiling by looking at it!?

Cooking is harder than I thought...

[cue Nano staring at the pot WITH INTENSITY

she's gonna get to the bottom of this]

Ah! Hey! I thought you said it wouldn't boil if you watched it!

But don't you want to find out if it's true? And what if it starts boiling while we're not watching and it boils over?

[These would not normally be strong concerns of Nano's, but that damn TRIHARDO.]
