*She heaves a little sigh of relief as she carries a box in her arms. She isn't wearing her stupid pirate hat anymore (thank goodness), but the crew still insisted that she should take some rum home. And with big hairy men almost threateningly being nice to her, Fuuka couldn't refuse.

... Oh. Wait is that Minato.*

Minato-kun? What are you doing?

[lunateclock]

[...oh!

He blinks, glancing over to her and pulling off one headphone absently.]

Ah...Hello, Fuuka-chan. I'm...feeding the ducks.

[Don't ask, okay. It's a protag thing. Blink, blink, box...?]

What do you have?

[flowerywinter]

Feeding the ducks? *giggles* I guess that's a hobby too.

Oh, this. It's - *she hesitates, shifting the box a little.* It's a present from a pirate crew. It's a box of, um, rum.

[lunateclock]

[He has all of the hobbies, Fuuka. All of them. And he blinks.]

...Rum.

Well. If you don't want to drink it, I think there are some recipes that call for using rum.

[flowerywinter]

I, don't think I can drink it. *Against the law and against her stomach.*

Really? I never thought about using them in cooking before. Maybe I'll try it.

*WHAT HAVE YOU DONE MINATO.*

[lunateclock]

[....]

That's probably better. Even if there isn't a drinking age here, it still might not be safe.

[...O-OOPS?]

Would you like to look for some recipes?

[DAMAGE CONTROL DAMAGE CONTROL--]

[flowerywinter]

Yeah, if you don't mind! Actually I met a friend who offered to cook with me. She's very nice.

*And that girl being Rise. OHO.*

But I want to get a little practice in before the real sessions start.

[lunateclock]

[Oh god run for cover--]

That sounds like a good idea. There are a lot of people here who cook, I think. Exchanging tips with them could be useful.

[flowerywinter]

Yeah, maybe I can make something you guys will like for once.

*Something better than edible!*

I am thinking about doing something simple, like riceballs. I think I was too ambitious back home.

[lunateclock]

I'm sure you can, Fuuka-chan. And small steps do sound like a good idea. I'd be happy to try them for you if you do make some.

[flowerywinter]

H-huh? You will ...?

*Even after all the things he went through before. Fuuka is just ... grateful. ;w;*

Thank you Minato-kun! Um, when I'm finished, I will call.

[lunateclock]

Of course.

[She can't have gotten worse, right? So he'll risk it. He'll probably survive.]

And that sounds like a plan. Other than cooking, what have you been up to?

[flowerywinter]

Um, well ... I have been busy over the last week. As you can see. *Indicating the box of rum she's carrying.* But I ... had fun. The pirates weren't such a bad people, just bit rowdy.

What about you Minato-kun? I haven't seen you in the dorms lately.

[lunateclock]

[He chuckles, nodding and smiling somewhat.]

I've met a lot of pirates lately who are surprisingly good people. It makes you wonder.

[Pirates are actually cool dudes? Who would've thought.]

Ah...I've just been trying to keep track of the Welcoming Committee. With Red gone, there are fewer hands to help.

[Also it means he has to run it by himself, oops.]

[flowerywinter]

Ah ... do you need some help? I might not be good at leadership, but I can definitely try to help Minato-kun.

*Since it's not right for him to bear it all alone. D:*

Plus, we wouldn't want Aniki to kidnap you again because you're overworking yourself.

[lunateclock]

I would appreciate the help, if you aren't too busy.

[c:

...

...at that he blinks and then looks a little sheepish.]

Ah...yeah, that probably wouldn't be very productive. I'll try to avoid being kidnapped again.

[Unless he really, really needs it.]
