[ The device turns on to a very nice view of...something brown and lumpy in a pot. It's sitting on the stove, with a book opened beside it. The page it's flipped to reads "
RABBIT STEW" followed by a recipe that's a little...splattered with what must be the stew.

When Tyr speaks, he sounds rather proud. ]I think it turned out pretty well. It's not

[--Rita almost forgot that Tyr's been missing someone important to him, too. She offers him a slight smile, not really paying attention to what exactly Tyr cooked, but feeling the need to go over there, anyway.]

So you're just going to share it with everyone who comes by?

[video]

[stargathering]

[ Aaaah, Rita smiled! She doesn't smile enough, Tyr thinks, and he's made happier just because of that. ]

Yeah, but I'll share with you even if you don't come by.

[blastiafreak]

[Tyr looks so happy--so she's glad, too, and her smile's a bit brighter.]

How? It's not going to walk over here, you know. I'll come by.

[video]

[stargathering]

[ Tyr doesn't know why she's so happy, but he loves it. He starts to prepare a bowl for her. ]

All right then. I'll have your portion waiting for you.

[blastiafreak]

[She was already moving, though she picks up her pace now. She just really wants to get there all of a sudden.]

Okay. Don't let anyone else nibble on it!

[video]

[stargathering]

[ ...He picks up the bowl and walks over toward the door. To wait for her. ]

It's in safe hands, don't worry. No-one else will touch it.

[video]

[blastiafreak]

You mean besides you, right?

[Maybe she's starting to run. Not that there's any reason to hurry besides making sure Tyr doesn't dip his fingers in...]

[video]

[stargathering]

[ He wasn't even considering it until she asked. He lifts the bowl up close to his lips. ]

I could serve you more if I had some...

[video]

[blastiafreak]

Hey! I-I'm watching, so don't go licking it or anything!

[She's worried he might actually do it now!]

[video]

[stargathering]

[ He laughs and brings the bowl back down. ] I won't. I was just kidding. Besides, I made enough to have some myself.

[video]

[blastiafreak]

[She blushes a little, though it might be hard to see with the way she's running.] I...I knew that! I didn't think you actually would...

[video]

[stargathering]

[ Yeah, he can't really tell if it's from running or from what he said. ] Really?

...You know, your portion does smell nice...

[video]

[blastiafreak]

Of course!

[Yep she totally knew, totally-!] I-it all smells the same, doesn't it?

[video]

[stargathering]

Maybe, but yours is right here...

[ He tries to peek behind her on the screen. ] You're almost here, right?

[video]

[blastiafreak]

[Thankfully, she's not coming all the way from the beach this time, so she is almost there.]

Just wait a minute before you start tasting it!

[video]

[stargathering]

[ He'd wait even if she was coming from the beach. He leans forward to unlatch the door for her before going back to leaning against the opposite wall. ]

You have a minute, then.
