I don't know what the performing is supposed to be anymore, I thought that was every Saturday...

[he's very lost in this conversation. but. he will also move to eat the takoyaki and look thoughtful about what she actually said]

.... people normally aren't this nice to me. I don't really know what to say. Thank you, to start, I think.

[and he's blanking]

[alteracion]

It was, but it's such a weird way to say it. I had to make fun of it.

[ she gets that it's his job, it's just. what a nerd.

and then he just blanks out like a bigger nerd and she's laughing ]

You're welcome, but we're friends. I care about you, Mineo, of course I'm going to be nice?

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he just manages a bit of a laugh at that]

Even my friends are the tough love kind.... [BEING HIS FRIENDS AND CARING ABOUT HIM MEANS NOTHING!!! he hangs out with too many tsunderes]

... it means a lot, though. Seriously.

I'm really glad you're here, Grace.

[alteracion]

Obviously! Where would you be without me? [ but she says it with a wink, so it's. at least. partially a joke. ] If you ever need a break from tough love, I'm here. It's really not my style.

[sengokus]

[he laughs again at that, a bit stronger even as he goes to skewer another takoyaki]

I dunno... Now I'm worried I'll get kinda spoiled from it.

[alteracion]

I can always keep the takoyaki to myself if it helps keep you from being spoiled.

[ takes another one as example ]

[sengokus]

I didn't know you liked it that much - now I gotta learn what other stuff you like so I can try to make it...

[him learning to cook]

[alteracion]

[ well. it was more about the punishment but: ]

You can cook now?

[sengokus]

I've been able to! But my specialty was just really good deluxe gourmet instant ramen.

But I'm trying to expand!

[alteracion]

[ she heard that. ]

Deluxe gourmet ramen? Like the little cup noodles? How do you do that?

[sengokus]

I can probably only make Pretty Good Instant Ramen with the cup kind...

But I'll make you the real deal soon! It's still my best dish.

[alteracion]

[ she laughs a little ]

Sure, go for it. [ she nudges his leg ] Been a while since I've had a home cooked meal anyway.

[sengokus]

[that just manages to make him laugh]

Yeah? Then let me go ahead and take care of that honor for you. Food tastes better when it's fresh and made by a friend, right?

[alteracion]

Depends on the friend. [ immediately? but she grins ] But I'll trust you with not giving me food poisoning.
