Woof that was alot to read- i can actually relate somewhat-earlier i was perhaps chatty as a kid but maybe stopped by elementary

As for if i could be one now? Ahahaaa..... I'm finding it okay to talk online a little more but irl? Erm no progress (got tasty anxiety that comes in both flavors)

<Jade blinked> '...what is a ham-burger....? And... what edible kind is it...??' <actual genuine confused Jade>

Yesnt

'...Hopefully is the keyword. But I'm not here to try anything bizarre or such.. just in case.. something simple.. right?'

<Jade tapped her chin in thought> 'Now that you mention it ... actually.. well none that I'm aware of.. Marrow has some but aren't food related so it's off topic..'

<Jade yawned in the background before poking around at silverware>

'Help eh? I mean I can see what I can do.. although I'm stuck in this form still.. so delicate tasks.. not easy but i can try.'

'..I don't know about everything cooked.. but.. maybe it'll be something interesting..? Because.. they've certainly had blood taste before.. also... this cooking thing.. I cannot eat anything before them.. only after their cared for.'

<She slightly scratched at her bared ribs(note she hasn't eaten for a good bit excluding a single orange slice and overall doesn't quite get nutrients out in the wild it shows)>

(Roblox-revenge is so evil yet fun >:])

<Jade flinched> '..So I've... been... a bad mother all along..?' <Jade's wing twitched as she looked a little disheartened> '...I... never knew... i always hunted or scavenged for them..'

ye... when her rival bit her wing they broke it in the process, owie and hasn't quite spoke up on it just powering through it

(Fair been there b4)

<Jade sat up confused> '..Huh . . . "cooked"? Hm.. swear I hear that somewhere before.. but ah-.. does this cooking thing.. help hunger better..?'

(Oop- revenge or smth?)

<Jade tilted her head> 'Help with what? Is.... this not good enough..?' <yeah no she don't know cooking exists>

<Jade lowered her head> 'Honestly. Cross my soul.' <the one cross eye spun>

'..My kids are hungry.. and suppose nocturnal life style has been our thing out in the wild.. sooo.. yeah.. we're sort of awake.. and Marrow's sickness returned. I'm just worried. Those two days had to be rough on them.. they've never really been caught.. especially Marrow.' <She held some raw ingredients, she can't cook obviously just gonna bring whatever it seems>

<The fur on the tail stopped bristling, as she slowly sat up, her eyes sharp and locked on him> '...apologies on my part.. just... startled for a moment I suppose..'

<She'd hiss before speaking, her tone was dangerous one he hadn't heard till now> 'Who's there.'

<In the pitch dark room it seemed like nothing was there at first until vibrant pink eyes one slit and the other a cross and even a glowing claws & fangs in a low snarl, from those details alone it is clearly Jade but telling by size still chimera>

=There was another rattle till something sounds like it fell, like a cup probably=

(Mb gang went afk to make smth had starvation painsss)

=There was another faint sound from the kitchen.=

(Oki doki!!!)

=After everyone went their own ways, obviously each parent protective over their little ones mostly due to the earlier outburst. Everyone went off to rest. It were now currently midnight and thats when . . . a clatter was heard in the kitchen.=

(I have a time skip idea if you'll let meeee :p)
