[Arcueid had gone over to but the newlyweds, but had found an unexpected surprise when she had gone to their house. Instead of that idiot Shiki and his cute new little wife...she found only drones. She had known Shiki had been here for a rather long time, and she was happy to see that he had gone back home, but...he'd left

[And before you even notice anything, because it's totally IC to sneak up on people--] How long are you going to sit there and stare at the ground, Arcueid? [She sounds pretty damn neutral.]

[makemebreakfast]

Oh shut up. You're probably sad too.

[She doesn't look up from those glasses, though.]

[expiatrice]

[She'll just walk up to sit down next to her, then there's the "clack" of something being set down.

If Arc turns her head a bit to peer, she'll notice that it's a soda can placed next to her. Ciel has one too in her hands, and in fact, she's going to take a sip of it right now.]

You went through that too, you know. You'd usually laze around in your house, but one morning, you started to become a hardworking housewife who actually knew how to cook edible food.

[makemebreakfast]

[Arcueid stares at the soda can for a long moment before she picks it up and cracks it open. The glasses, however, never leave her grip in the other hand.]

I can cook edible food sometimes. Maybe I just need someone to teach me.

[Her voice is flat, but she's still taking a sip of that soda.]

[expiatrice]

That would need for you to have a long enough attention span to not get bored, and not eat the base ingredients before they can be used. Knowing you, you'd also get creative without supervision, so it'll end up with having all sorts of things that it's never supposed to.

[She seems to be 'playing along', so to speak.]

[makemebreakfast]

Do you have to be a smart-mouth all the time?

[Seems Arc isn't really interesting in playing along with the usual bitchy conversations they have.]

[expiatrice]

Are you genuinely interested in learning?

[makemebreakfast]

I guess...but only from you.

[expiatrice]

How picky. [She doesn't seem mad or outraged by the notion at all, though. If anything, her lack of further commenting is the exact same as wordless acceptance.] Tohno-kun made you ramen before, right? Would you want to know how to do that on your own?

[makemebreakfast]

Sure. I'd like that.

[The response is still flat and emotionless. She realizes she shouldn't really be feeling this way, that she'd spent plenty of time never being attached to a human. Still, it hurt, and of course she has no real experience at dealing with her emotions.]

[expiatrice]

Eastern and western noodles have different names, but in the end, it's still noodles. It won't be a perfect copy, but basic ingredients shouldn't be hard to find, and there's always similar things that could work as substitutes. [She'll take another sip from her can.] When would you like to do that?

[makemebreakfast]

Whenever you have the time. I don't really care.

[Arcueid takes another sip of her own can as well, her voice still flat and devoid of emotion.]

[expiatrice]

I can make time whenever, so the question is when you feel like it.

What are you going to do tonight?

[makemebreakfast]

I don't know.

[It's not being avoidant, she really doesn't know. She'll just stare at those glasses again.]

[expiatrice]

You may not have an appetite now, but are you really going to be capable of skipping dinner? [It's not like she's trying to look and sound unconvinced or anything!!]

[makemebreakfast]

It doesn't matter, you should know better than anyone that I just eat for fun.

I don't need human food.

[She says this rather matter-of-factly as she sips from her can again.]
