Humming would have accompanied the steady sound of knife meeting chopping board, descending in short, efficient slices. There was no television set to provide a distracting background noise to what she was doing, but Soma's thoughts were already elsewhere.
It wasn't an activity she'd had much time for in the past few months prior to her arrival, nor was there any definite need for it in a place like this, but when she couldn't have offered any of her usual skills, the aching need to take care of a certain someone directed her actions.

With her back to the opened kitchen door, Soma slowed the chopping pace somewhat, the growing pile of sliced carrots stopping with that, until the knife came to a stop completely.
Silently, and inexplicably, her eyes burned with unannounced tears, before they dropped soundlessly onto the clear board.
