Oh. It's oka- *blink blink* Yukari-chan!

*And this time around, Fuuka is the one greeting Yukari back, holding a bag of apples. She looks mildly surprised to see her friend walking about. And who would blame her when she just saw her sleeping that morning?

But soon her expression turns into something that of relief.*

You're awake! Thank goodness ...

[flowerywinter]

*W-wha ... how does this relate to her being cute?

... c:*

Actually ... *Fuuka trails off, suddenly looking sheepish.* I made some porridge this morning. Well, I was actually trying to make rice, but it turned into porridge ... i-it's perfectly edible though! I taste tested it.

But maybe you should eat something with more substance ...

[garudyneinstyle]

...Porridge?

[She looks a little weary of the idea but she is hungry. And she knows how Fuuka's been working on her cooking, so it might be interesting to see if she's gotten better...!

Yukari is admittedly curious...]

Sure. I-I wouldn't mind giving it a try.

[flowerywinter]

*Fuuka brightens up considerably at this. Yes! Someone who'll try her cooking.*

Don't worry! It's not so bad, I've improved since my last tries.

*And off they go - back to their dorms!*

[garudyneinstyle]

[She chuckles.

...Though is still expecting the worst as they walk back to the dorms.]

Well hey, I'm glad to hear that. Have you practiced with Rise-chan any?

I think she was working on her cooking, too.

[flowerywinter]

A little. With all the stuff going on though, we didn't have a lot of chance.

*And happily oblivious. She is sure that it's really edible this time. SO SURE.*

Not to mention that her other friends have to gather too. Making group plans is a little harder than I thought.

[garudyneinstyle]

...Yeah, that's true. Even without school and stuff, it can still get pretty busy here, huh?

[She thinks for a moment about how different things are here. The environment, the streets they're taking now--

Everything is.]

It's all right, though. I know you work pretty hard on your own.

[flowerywinter]

Heh heh! Well, I want to get better since I have more reason to do so.

*After Minato helped her realize, she didn't just want to be more girlish. She wanted to help her friends somehow, even outside of battle.

And while she's musing such thoughts they arrive to the front steps of the dorm.*

[garudyneinstyle]

Oh, really?

[Wow, Yukari is kind of curious about these thoughts, Fuuka. She leads the way into the dorm first--and though she was just here, it feels much warmer and nicer, now that she's got a friend.]

What kind of reasons?

[flowerywinter]

It's a little embarrassing to say out loud ... *There is a timid giggle as she steps into the kitchen and puts the bag of apples down.*

But I just wanted to help you guys outside of battle too. It might be just meddling my part, but - it's hard to resist this kind of feeling.

[garudyneinstyle]

[She will follow Fuuka to the kitchen with a chuckle, as she nods. She can sort of understand; after all, she had that social link with Minato as well, and there were things she would've never realized without him.]

Nah, you're not meddling. We'd be totally lost without you in battle, but...you're our friend, too. Part of our family, y'know?

It wouldn't be the same without you.

[She doesn't need to do anything for them. She's already an important member of SEES, and Yukari is super glad she is here!]

[flowerywinter]

*And Fuuka is glad for that. She always has been pressured in her own family. She has began to accept her mother and father as they were, but they would never be like SEES.*

Yeah ... But I just, feel motivated to, I guess?

*Fuuka opens a particular pot on the stove. Nothing dangerous jumps out of it, so it seems safe ...*

I should reheat it!

*Turns the knob and FULL ON BLAST.*

[garudyneinstyle]

[Well, there's nothing wrong with being motivated, certainly. So...Yukari smiles before turning her attention to the pot when Fuuka lifts up the lid.

...

...FULL ON BLAST, oh my--]

Haha. C-Careful not to overdo it.

[flowerywinter]

Huh ...? Oh!

*Guess the fire's too ... hot. She'll just turn the knob down a natch or two.*

I-I guess we don't need that much heat.

[garudyneinstyle]

[...whew.

Well, she can't help but be glad she was here to catch that, haha. She nods to agree with her, since burned porridge would just not taste very good at all--no matter how it was originally.

After a little while longer, she takes a peek in the pot.]

I think that should do it...

[flowerywinter]

Yeah it should be hot enough now.

*And Fuuka with a kitchen mitten on hand takes the pot off the stove and carefully pours the content on a bowl. Surprisingly it's not spewing out purple glow.

In fact, it is indeed a normal porridge.*
