[When Megumi’s voice comes on, she sounds disgusted and rather ill to her stomach.]

I have never tried a “pizza” before, though I have heard of it. I hear that it is supposed to be delicious.

However, a pizza with oyster, lamb, and honey mustard sauce as dressing?

Whomsoever sent this to Mitsuhide and I . . .

[A small, irked sound.]

. . . has

[Mitsuhide is staring at the offending item with a look of pure disgust. The item offends him on every level, especially that of 'Mitsuhide the Chef.']

Honestly, who would even THINK to use such an appalling combination on a pizza?

[Disgusted snort.]

We should get rid of it. Quickly.

[foxy_physician]

We should. If we eat it and somehow withstand the taste, I'm sure that we'll have indigestion.

[She makes a face, quickly shutting the cardboard box. She can smell the oyster and the lamb, and just imagining how both tasted with honey mustard already makes her stomach turn.]

I'll take care of it, anata.

[Grimacing, she takes it out, finding the trash bin and depositing it there. She didn't even consider giving it to someone else, thinking that she didn't wnat to bestow the stomachache that might come with it. It was like avoiding Kaoru-san's cooking.]

[When she returns, she still looks rather disconcerted.]

What does a normal pizza contain?

[silk_in_ebony]

[When she gets back, Mitsuhide has already retrieved a recipe book, and is sat with a pizza recipe clear on one of the pages. He traces the words with his finger.]

There are many combinations, but almost always a tomato and cheese base, according to this. You could just have it like that.

[He taps the page and looks up.]

The combinations you would have are based on your own tastes, but I could never imagine anyone finding that good.

[foxy_physician]

Oysters are delicious and rich in iodine, and lamb is very hearty as well . . . though together, and with honey mustard, I would rather not try it.

[She sighs, walking over to him and peering at his recipe book.]

Tomato and cheese sounds good, love. Would you like to make a pizza now?

[Her eyes brighten with the idea, and she smiles at him.]

We have several cheeses in the refrigerator that we can put on top of the pizza, and we can make our tomato base . . . plus, there are some herbs in the pantry that may taste good with the sauce . . .

[silk_in_ebony]

That was exactly what I intended to do. Honestly, if we're going to have pizza, we're going to have good pizza.

[His inner chef has already come to the surface, and he stands up, making sure he remembers the right page in the book when he shuts it up to carry.]

I could make a perfect tomato sauce for this. Would you like to knead the dough?

[foxy_physician]

[Megumi looks at Mitsuhide with amusement. She knows how much he looks to cook and how he takes it seriously.]

And I know it will be excellent, love!

[She smiles up at him, giving him a nod. Cooking a project like this will be good for him now.]

I would love to, anata~! ♥ I will knead it nice and well! Shall we~? ♥

[Laughing, she takes his hand, gently tugging him along with her to the kitchen.]

[silk_in_ebony]

[When they reach the kitchen, Mitsuhide is very quick to start gathering the ingredients for the sauce. Trusting Megumi to sort the dough out (which, considering what he is like when cooking, is quite a big thing), he places his ingredients on the counter and gets to work.]

You gonna be okay with that dough, Megumi?

[He is chopping tomatoes at a fast rate and is currently thinking on what herbs to use.]

[foxy_physician]

Yes, Mitsuhide~! ♥

[She gets to work on the flour, ensuring that the board is clean before making a mound, slowly incorporating liquid into it.]

[Gently, she begins to knead, making little trills as the flour sticks to her hands and her fingers.]

This feels interesting~! ♥

[A little giggle, and she begins to remove the stuck flour to her hands, careful not to make the remaining powder explode into the air.]
