I don't usually get to hold anything over anyone, so this is pretty fun! I do have some errands that need to be done this week though, so whether you come or not I'm going out at some point.
[ Kaito huffs, approaching full-pout. But a smile follows. ]
It is, isn't it?
I'll go with you. It's not as if I'm nearly as busy as I used to be back home. Besides, I also have some business in the city. Paperwork to sign, wood to procure...
[ Kaito boops her nose on the come-up. Keeping it even. ]
I'm starting a food truck, so I've gotta pay for the business permit and the materials to build a cart.
It's quite literally just a wooden cart with enough cooking workspace for me to make and sell meals. A novel thing, really... but something I sorely miss from home.
[ ooooh how scary. absolutely terrified of it. can't you tell, she's shaking in her boots at his words. no, she's absolutely doubtful from the ]
Mmhmm.
[ she gives, unimpressed, to the way she flops back down on her bed to reach under for a notebook. ]
Well, you'll have a regular right off the bat with me! I'm not missing my chance to finally have you make something for me, Kaito. You were so-- where is it? Stingy about talking about yourself when we first met-- oh, here it is, [ her notebook, a little whale pen coming with it as she sits up to flip through, ] that I've been curious.
[ she's just not the kind of person who goes up and demands people feed her, is all. not yet. mark of comfort. ]
[ She'll see, someday. Then she'll know fear. 💢
Kaito leans over to try and peek at what she's searching for only to reel back when she sits back up. That pen is cute.
Stingy is less cute, but the way she smiles while she says it is... Nevermind. Kaito just shrugs. Shrugs! ]
Look, I was a different man back in January. I'd only been in town for a day or two. I'm generally a wary person. Imagine how that mindset reacts to a ball of sunshine waltzing in trying to take pictures. 'Course I was a little stingy! Hmph!
...But I appreciate your future patronage. Rest assured, you'll like what I have to offer. Chef's honor.
Well, the last chef I knew was fairly honorable, even if her ingredients wasn't to mosts' tastes... She believed in experimental integrity and the like.
[ she can give greta credit there. chef's honor. let's see... film, paint, mat, cookbook... actually stopping by a secondhand store would be good too, or maybe a bookstore in genuine if she can find one. how many things can she get kaito to hold for her. ]
I hope there's another festival like that soon. It was a lot of fun going around with such an expert guide.

I don't think a single person I know would call me subtle, so that's totally your imagination.
[ she is the least subtle person in the world. this will become very obvious someday. ]
Staying inside is pretty boring... do you wanna go around town with me? It'll be our first of three.

[ A beat. He tilts his head. ]
First of three what?
no subject
Dates.

[ Oh. Oh, now he remembers. ]

Wow, how grown up of you. It's almost like you're an adult.
[ she's teasing. ]
I'm just buying some film and hobby supplies... What're you cooking? Ramen?
no subject
[ That's a threat! Threat!!! ]
I don't think I'm going to have a set menu. I'll just think of a dish I like, and that'll be what I make for the day.
If the food's any good, I'll have regulars coming in every day to see what I'll kick up next.
