Helenus had learned to cook for himself not long after he'd begun his second life. He hadn't been royalty anymore, and there weren't servants to attend to his every need. Once he'd started to learn, he'd found that not only was it pretty easy to learn quickly, but he'd enjoyed it as well.
He tended to buy enough to make his meals for the week, and as a result, his list was rather long and had many and varied items on it. He'd just cleared the third aisle, when he felt another like himself nearby. He glanced up, looking around curiously. He was sure he'd felt that presence somewhere before, and he stood there for a few moments trying to figure out from where.
Finally, he just decided to ask. He walked up to the woman who seemed to be giving off the presence and said, "Excuse me. I know this sounds very cliche, but have we met somewhere before?"
