That soup looks good.

[ priority number one yep. ]

I like cooking too. When I can.

[ ie whenever there's excess stuff in the fridge he can mess with. ]

Do you need any help?

action;

[tattooborne]

Really? [ she's never met a guy who liked to cook. ]

No, I'm okay.

[ Hana's kind of an expert at cooking and feeding now. she pours it into a bowl, shreds of chicken, potato, and tiny shreds of vegetables static in a hot, somewhat spicy stew. it's chunky and hardy and she offers it to Souji with a few crackers. ]

[ a nod.

he just watches her work, quite impressed. once she offers it to him, he takes it and sets it down on the table, taking a spoonful at a time. ]

This is really good. [ another spoonful. ] Where did you learn to make this?

action;

[tattooborne]

It's easy to make... there's a TV show that can show you how to cook.

Thank you.

action;

[veritates]

They make it look easier than it really is on TV.

action;

[tattooborne]

They do! It's hard sometimes.

[ he slurps down the soup rather quickly, before remembering. ]

You were saying something about a job before, right? I'm sure you could get a job as a cook.

action;

[tattooborne]

[ she blushes with a smile, certainly pleased that he seems to think so. maybe she really can. ]

I would like to.

[veritates]

I'm sure one of the restaurants in the city would be happy to have you.

[ another spoonful. he pauses, before glancing up again. ] I know I'd like to have your cooking again.

action;

[tattooborne]

I'd have to find out if they're hiring...

[ she blinks at his statement, then looks down shyly, staring at her feet. ] Thank you very much.

action;

[veritates]

As long as you impress them with this stuff, I'm sure they will.

[ he pauses, a thought coming to mind as he glances at her. she's pretty young to be here though, isn't she? in some ways she reminds him a little of his cousin.. ] Are you alright? Otherwise... with being brought here, and everything.

action;

[tattooborne]

Ah?

I'm okay. I'm not hurt. And... [ she's... better off here anyway, right? She and her dad--were going to board an airplane and Michiko wasn't going. she doesn't want to go with her father. so she'd... rather be here... ]

action;

[veritates]

[ he pauses for a moment, waiting for her to continue before he realizes she doesn't intend to. a lot of people have rather unique circumstances here... he has to admit he's the same way. in some ways, he's almost glad he's here, although he knows it can't last...

but still he feels the need to ask her anyway. ]

And...?

action;

[tattooborne]

[ she shifts a little awkwardly, before she sort of bursts out: ]

Well, someone has to work here! It wouldn't do to just let this place keep being gray so it doesn't matter!

action;

[veritates]

[ he looks surprised at the outburst for a second, before just smilig a bit softly. ]

You're right. Someone has to do it, so why not us?
