[And someone's just exiting the store with his own bag of groceries.] Mori.

[needslovelyitem]

[Mori tips his head in greeting, making his little bubble bob a bit.] Shizuka.

Maybe I won't need to get groceries. I wonder what he picked up. Hopefully something good to make dinner and some rice.

[spiritarrows]

Some fish and vegetables.

But some of these are Watanuki's...

[needslovelyitem]

Perhaps these bubbles are convenient. Fish will make a very nice dinner. I like fish. [People can literally read his mind now and he doesn't have to talk.]

Who is Watanuki?

[spiritarrows]

Someone from my world.

[needslovelyitem]

Ah. [Look! He actually said something.] This explains why I have been cooking for one less person. I wonder if he's a good cook.

[spiritarrows]

He is.

[needslovelyitem]

[Mori nods.] I am glad he is still eating well. Honey will be happy to know he's eating with a friend as well. I should continue with the shopping. We still need cakes.

[spiritarrows]

Need help?

[needslovelyitem]

[Mori shakes his head.] Looking after Mitsukuni is my duty.

[spiritarrows]

Hn. I'll drop these off at home then. After that I'll head to Watanuki's.

[needslovelyitem]

[Mori nods. He'll use that to make their dinner, even if Doumeki isn't going to be there. His thoughts stray from food for a moment.] I wonder if Doumeki will bring Watanuki home for dinner sometime.

[spiritarrows]

[The bubble above his head actually goes blank for a moment at that. But since it's Doumeki, his face remains unchanged as he nods (in acknowledgement or agreement...?) and... escapes. Yes. In Doumeki-style anyway. The strides are just a bit faster than usual.]

[Mori nods in reply and watches him leave.] How strange. Could he have been running away? Perhaps. I should get cake. [Mori will go about his business.]
