8-The Orchard-Citrus Carnage (The Tangerine-Apple Meat Meltdown)
By: Leah Lastname
1 thick-cut Ribeye steak, 2 whole tangerines (peeled and segmented), 1 large Granny Smith apple (sliced into thin, aggressive wedges), 1/4 cup honey, 1 tbsp coarse sea salt, 1 sprig of rosemary (to make it look "fancy")
1. The Searing: Sear the ribeye in a pan until it is medium-rare, but leave it looking slightly unhinged and greasy. 2. The Fruit Collision: Take the tangerine segments and the apple wedges and dump them directly onto the hot, resting steak. 3. The Sticky Glaze: Drizzle the honey over the meat and the fruit, creating a sweet, sticky, and deeply confusing lacquer. 4. The Zest Infusion: Take the tangerine peels and finely grate them into the juices to ensure the citrus flavor is unavoidable and aggressive. 5. The Aesthetic Deception: Place the single rosemary sprig on top, pretending this is a "gourmet fusion" dish rather than a mistake. 6. The Final Act: Eat while wondering where your life went wrong and why the apple is so cold against the hot steak.

Biography
Born in the swampy south of the shroud, Khona'a's life was always going to lead him astray from his tribe. He was the runt of the litter, having several sisters older than him. They would practice makeup, dress him up, and treat him like a doll. As he grew older the teasing only continued. He was teased for his size, for his hobbies, for his sweet, soft face. Feeling ostracized from his peers, he found his solace in music.
His first instrument was the fiddle, learning from old folk tunes and playing along with the birds. As he grew and learned, he moved onto the mandolin and finally settled on the guitar. Guitar became his first love. It changed the way he approached music. He started singing and dancing along, performing the melody and playing the chords.
On his eighteenth nameday he left the tribe. He never left their lands however, learning to fish and fend for himself, but he was now independent. He started exploring the land around, little by little, until he came to Gridania. The city was where the boy would make his name, busking by the Airships, singing and playing his little guitar. It was here he met an older seeker who offered him a job teaching her daughter guitar.
Current Story
After taking the gig teaching Kez guitar, he would meet his future boyfriend, Riju. The two of them immediately hit it off, and it didn't take long for the two of them to start a band together. Both of the boys take turns singing, playing piano, and playing guitar. They've gained something of a cult following with most of their fans being lgbtq+ folks.
More recently, Kho has been exploring his sexuality and gender presentation. It took him something like 25 turns but the young blonde finally realized that he's into boys. A few months back he met a fiery Tia at a cafe who took him home and gave him a series of firsts. The two started dating and over the course of a couple weeks he worked up his courage to ask his best friend Riju to be his boyfriend too. Now he's got as many boyfriends as he's got holes and he's quite content.
