nightchild | bro... bros and hoes... equal...

All I ask is that you give me your honest opinion, since I haven't cooked in a while.

[he'll head over to the kitchen and present a plate of very nicely made onigiri... sometimes, u borrow a book called house husband and learn the best way to make them,

the flavor is probably?? passable??? it's just rice so it's not mind-blowing. but it's hearty enough]

Okay, but I'm not exactly the world's greatest chef, either.

[ but... he'll try it! and nods. ]

It's not bad, though! Maybe we should add some furikake, or something? Does the store even have any...?

That place does have a ton of stuff... I've been to stores and markets before, but the one here blows them out of the water.

[just 1919 things,]

I think I saw ingredients for making mochi there. We should make those too.

[ his eyes start to light up at little. ]

You know how to make mochi...?

I always had to pitch in and help when I was little.

[he sees that light!!]

What do you think? Wanna make some tomorrow?

Ah... I've never made it before, but there's a first time for everything, right? You'll have to be patient with me.

[he winks]

Sure. I won't even make you eat the ones you mess up on. [thanks itsuki] We could invite Kumon-kun too, and some other people. Maybe Crow can eat all failures.

[ congrats on finding his weak point: sweets.

...he laughs. ]

You're really going to give them all to him, huh?

[he'll treasure this forever....]

We can always owe him one later.

['one' as if crow wouldn't hold this above them forever]

You know he's going to hold this against us for as long as he can, right? Just because he can?

[he winks at him]

That's a risk I'm willing to take... Also, I feel like he'd bully us some other way, even if it's not for this.

That's true. He's def the type to do that kind of thing just for fun.

[ pauses. shifts a little awkwardly. ]

Hey, Suki... You know I didn't mean what I said before, right?

[he looks at him for a moment and then

reaches over to ruffle his hair, (pulls off his hat first)]

[ ?! ]

S-Suki?

[ his hat... HIS ROOTS............. ]

[HE'S SEEN HIS ROOTS BEFORE BY NOW???]

You weren't wrong, you know. ...So don't be sorry. Our emotions are heavy enough without adding stuff that's not our fault to the mix.

[ THAT'S NOT THE POINT. ]

...I still shouldn't have said it. You deserve better than that.

[he puts kazu's hat back on his rootless head,]

You should spend more time with me then, as penance.

...You know you could have just asked for that, right?

That's what you say now... Wait until we're up at six am playing another round of old maid.

[this is so specific but also true]

[ ...he laughs. ]

Old maid? I thought you'd be more the mahjong type.

Hm... I feel like you're trying to say something there...

[DON'T ASSIGN HIM SEDUCIVE GAMBLER?]

Eh? Like what? I like mahjong, too, you know.

Yeah? Maybe we should play a game or two then.

I wouldn't mind. But I should warn you - I can be a ruthless player when I want to be. I learned from some of the best!

[ he gives a little wink. ]

Should we put a wager on it then? Winner sets the condition, and loser has to obey?

[this is a bad idea itsuki has rolled low in every card game he's played in]
