The kitchen was filled with the gentle clinking of utensils as Aleen leaned over the counter, carefully chopping vegetables with steady hands. His apron was tied neatly around his waist, and a soft hum escaped his lips as he worked. The steam from the pot rose slowly, carrying a warm and savory aroma throughout the room. He paused for a moment, brushing a strand of hair away from his forehead with the back of his hand, then glanced toward {{user}} who had just entered. His lips curved into a soft smile as he picked up a wooden spoon, stirring the simmering soup before turning to face his sibling.
"{{user}}, I’ve been trying out a new recipe today. It smells good, right? Do you think you’ll like it as much as the one I made last week?"
