[well this is a familiar scene. Kaoru wanders into the kitchen to get something to eat. Maybe an apple or something small, he wasn't that hungry. But as he got closer to the kitchen the more pancakes seemed to appeal to him. ...Was Matt cooking again?]

Matt?

[notalfredjones]

[Doesn't look up from his pot of stock, the miso off to the side. The tofu has been chopped and he puts that in and stirs, waiting for it to simmer]

Mn? [afraid to say much really]

[lildeviltype]

[Takes a look at all the food around him, pancakes, cookies, miso soup. He smiles a little.]

What's the occasion?

[notalfredjones]

[It's simmered now and he pours out some into a bowl, dissolving the miso in that before he turns off the heat and adds the miso back to the stock. Some seaweed and he deems it done.]

...[opens his mouth, swallows, and looks away. He pours the miso soup into a large bowl, covers it, and does a quick wash of his dishes before he moves on to digging in the cupboard. Rice. Where is the rice.]

[Doug crutched into the Kitchen thinking he would raid the fridge when he found Matt arduously working on some food thing or another.]

Hey Matt, what smells so good?

[notalfredjones]

[Matt points out some pancakes and some miso soup. Cookies also are piled up on the counter as well]

Have at it. [flips his stirfry in a smooth motion and looks back, almost blank at the effort of not appearing sad] If you're hungry of course.

[ultimatelyhuman]

Thanks.

[Doug didn't really know Matt that well. But he had seen him smile, ironically while the other boy was protecting him on that roof. Perhaps it was just because he knew Al, but he got the feeling that Matt wasn't the sort of person to be this emotionless. But he didn't know him well enough yet he felt to ask.]

Hey, you really saved my butt out there. You know during the attack? I just wanted to thank you.

[He picked up a cookie and started nibbling on it. It was really good and soon he was starting his second one.]

[notalfredjones]

[Matt just shrugged and smiled faintly]

It wasn't anything big. I was saving my own too. But you're welcome. [gives stirfry another flip]

[noblerthanthou]

[Utena was just walking inside the kitchen, starved. She just finished basketball and boy a chocolate chip cookie would be great. When she enters the kitchen, she notices someone raiding the fridge... the food, and the cookies in the oven too, of course.]

Whoa. These look delicious.

[Looks at the blonde. Yep.]

You made 'em?

[notalfredjones]

[Matt looks back and nods a little. A cakes is soon joining the food on the counter. Sponge cake with strawberries and whipped cream. He carefully covers it and make a little gesture at all the food]

I did. You can have whatever you like.

[noblerthanthou]

[Nod. She grabs a plate and fork and starts gobbling up some pancakes.]

...Why are you making all of this food? Is there another party or something?

[notalfredjones]

[tiny smile] Just felt like it. It'll get eaten. People like sweet things at least.

[Having some free time and a few recipes she wanted to try out before mass producing them so that the entire school would have to eat them, Hachi headed back to the kitchen which was quickly becoming her favorite place in the entire Institute. To her surprise the kitchen was occupied and she looked at the student curiously as he moved efficiently from one task to another.]

There's some good kelp in the back of cupboard over closer to the fridge. If you're making Miso it's the best kind to use.

[Heading to the fridge, she got out several key ingredients for one of the dishes she'd thought of making before saying something else.]

Whatever's on your mind, don't hesitate to talk about it okay? Sometimes it's best to just get it out.

[That said she went to fill the kettle to make some tea, if he thought she was going to let him go without knowing the full story he was sorely mistaken.]

I'm Nana by the way, It's really nice to meet you!

[notalfredjones]

[Matthew looked up at her. Kelp, huh? He went in that cupboard and pulled it out. He peered at the cupboard again] Could have swore I looked in there earlier...

[He carefully made the soup, trying to do it properly. He wasn't Japanese after all...]

Matthew. And thank you, I'm just not sure I want to talk about it. [He gave her a tiny smile and blinked. Tea. He had forgotten to make himself some tea.]

[moodstrings]

Kitchen staff secret stash. We've got them all over the place in here. If you don't know exactly where to look for them you can't find them.

[Don't worry, she'd keep an eye on him and if anything came up that looked like he needed help she'd give him some pointers.]

Nice to meet you Matthew. [She nodded at his second part, though she couldn't understand why people wouldn't want to talk about things that bothered her. She was always running to Junko with her problems when she was in school and even when she'd been in community college.] Then we'll cook! I've got a couple recipes I wanted to try, maybe once your done with the things you'd thought of you could give me a hand?

[All the while she was getting out the required things for team, chatter not pausing as she moved around the kitchen. Now you've got a rough idea of what Sanji and the other kitchen staff have to put up with while they worked sometimes, Matt.]

[recognizemeee]

[Lured in by the familiar scent of maple syrup, Peter hops into the kitchen. To his delight, he finds his older brother in the kitchen, raiding the cupboards.]

Maaaaaaaaaathew! I knew I smelled your pancakes! Can I have some please? I haven't had them in a long time.

[notalfredjones]

[Matt peered back at him and smiled faintly. Trust his family to show up.]

Sure Peter. Go right ahead. They're there for everyone.

[recognizemeee]

[He grabs a pancake or two from the tall stack and proceeds to eat-- not even bothering to get a plate beforehand.]

Soooo, Matthew! Wha-- hrmmm... needs more maple syrup! [He pours some more on the pancake in his hand and continues speaking.]

Anyway. What's up with you? You don't look so good...

[notalfredjones]

[Matt opens his mouth to suggest a plate or perhaps a fork, but gives up on that lost cause. He pulls out some mushrooms and starts stemming them.]

I've been better. Are you getting used to it here?
