Oz: Do not be discouraged. I’ve also had my fair share of burning food-… This was a successful endeavor? I see.

Arthur: Oh, wow. I was a little taken aback, but I suppose there’s no rule stating that cheese fondue has to be white in color. I’ve gained a new perspective once again.

Cain: Ahaha, that looks pretty impressive alright! It’ll be such a blast to get rowdy with your friends over something like this after a couple drinks.

Riquet: Thank you for the food. …Woah, it’s delicious! Even though the fondue looks pitch-black, it does actually taste like cheese. Fufu, my horizons have widened once more.

Snow: Ummm… Perhaps I’m being tested right now? What kind of reaction were you expecting? I might not be able to come up with a punchline for this, Sage dear~!

White: Yaaay, that looks so good! Thank you for the meal~! …Huh? You’re not going to stop me? Is it really okay to eat this? Heey, Sage dear~! Is it?

Mithra: Slushy burnt charcoal… Actually, this is practically boiled charcoal. So you eat it by dragging these dippers inside? Perhaps the times have finally started to catch up to me, hm?

Owen: Did you have the wrong person? If you’ve got burnt food then do just stuff it in Mithra’s mouth, won’t you?

Bradley: I’ll toss in some white cheese once I’ve eaten a lil’ more. An original composition by yours truly. Gonna make for a pretty damn familiar color palette, don’tcha think?

Faust: …It’s all black… …No, it’s not like I don’t want it. I was just surprised. I’ll gladly eat anything you make, of course. (PLEASE listen to his line ingame if you want to hear confused and flustered Faust. please)

Shino: Munch. Pretty good. …Hm? Am I not alarmed by how it looks? ‘Course not, I know you wouldn’t give me anything weird to eat.

Heathcliff: T-thank you very much… I’m sure it tastes delicious, that’s just… quite the color. Looks similar to the contents of Mithra’s pot when he sometimes goes into the forest and lets it simmer for a while…

Nero: A black cheese fondue? Now that’s novel. Let’s see, if the cheese starts getting too stiff then I’ll splash in some white wine… Haha, I might just get myself drunk if I keep this up.

Shylock: White wine is a fine choice, but it’d also be a shame to pass up the full-bodied red… With so many dippers to enjoy, shall we take our time with it?

Murr: Ahaha, it’s pitch-black! Is this something I can digest? Or will it give me indigestion? I’ll be finding out when I eat it! Thanks for the food~!

Chloe: Ah! Master Sage, did you already go ahead and sample this for me? Here, please feel free to clean yourself with my handkerchief and mirror, since it seems like the cheese played a trick on you!

Rustica: Oh, that’s… a color I seldom ever see in dishes. Just what is going to happen once I have a bite? Fufu, I can hardly contain my excitement.

Figaro: So cheese can even come in this color… Though I gotta ask just in case. You’re certain you didn’t flub this, right?

Rutile: Ahahaha, that’s amazing! It’s pitch-black~! I think Chloe’s going to crack up too if he sees this. Hold on, let me go call him! Chloe~ Look at this~!

Lennox: You don’t often come across a meal that takes on such a deeply dark shade. I do wonder what it’s going to taste like… Alright. Thank you for the food.

Mitile: This feels so strange, because even though the meal looks entirely black, it does taste like cheese fondue… The culinary world has so much depth, doesn’t it?
