Thiry-eight serpents: Merry Slug-bah to all and to all a good...

[scarysnakelady]

[It is snowing, as the window behind Anko shows. This displeases Anko as she sits in the small kitchen in what has effectively become her house, she's lived there so long. On the kitchen counter. Hey, no one ever said Anko had a proper respect for chairs. No need for a blanket today though, with the skirts of this outfit bunched around her legs.

[He's looking completely ragged when he wanders back into the house, freezing up a little when he spots Anko and hears her words. Pouting and trying to sneak past... He doesn't really want to get into any more trouble today.]

[She spots him, frowns and... almost asks what's wrong before realizing that might be weird.] The water's still hot. On the stove. If you want to use it for... whatever.

[He freezes up and stands up straight, chuckling nervously and rubbing the back of his neck, stopping at the offer.]

Oh. What, like... uh... ramen?

[scarysnakelady]

[Kid, you are the worst flippin actor on the planet.]

Yeah, sure, something like that. And then maybe you'll stop moping or something.

[thelonegenin]

[Comes with the territory!]

Moping!? I'm not moping? I'm just walking, look?

[... and he'll show you Anko, this is him walking through the room and into the kitchen.]

[Kid, she is the queen of the liars, you really think you're fooling her? She just rolls her eyes at him.]

Fine. Don't blame me if it makes your noodles soggy.

[thelonegenin]

[He grins and shuffles over to the stove, giving her a owlish look before staring at the water.]

Are you making ramen?

[Offline]

[scarysnakelady]

[She stares back at him.] Dunno. Was planning on more tea, but I suppose ramen's a possibility.

[thelonegenin]

[Oh boy. Anko? That's a smile he's flashing you.]

Oh yeah!?

[scarysnakelady]

[And that's an answering snort of laughter]

You have the world's worst one-track mind ever, you know that kid?

[But even with all that sarcasm, she's getting herself--and all those skirts--off the counter to get some ramen.]

[thelonegenin]

[Really? He doesn't care for your oh so truthful comments. He's buzzing with excitement.]

Ramen's goooood.

[scarysnakelady]

True. But eat only that day in and out and you'll end up...with scurvy or something I dunno. [Small stash in a back, weird corner of a cabinet, hello, how are you. She pulls one package out...and then reconsiders and grabs another.]

Here. [She lobs one over to him. Catch.]

[Offline]

[thelonegenin]

... Scurvy?

[He shuffles over, looking at she pulls something out, grinning wildly and catching the package eyes wide.]

Aaaaah! Ramen's awesome 'ttebayo!

[scarysnakelady]

It's a disease... thing. You get it if you don't eat right, I think.

[she rolls her eyes, still grinning] Yeah, yeah, we know.

[Offline]

[thelonegenin]

... I eat right! Ramen's got vegetables in it sometimes, anyway.

[He's shifting around the kitchen, obviously looking for a method to cook these by, shooting her a grin.]

Ah, I wish we had Ichiraku here though, huh?

[She doesn't think that quite counts, but hell, she's not his mother, so whatever. She shrugs, and looks slightly wistful at the mention of food back home.

Aa... And a dango shop.
