[ sora is free to lean against the counter all he likes because izumo is reveling in how she can walk and move again as she used to be able to before the cyoa. ]
Sure; if you're willing to be my test subject. I promise I won't make anything to make you sick.
[ she'll hum for a moment as she starts laying out all of the ingredients that she'll be using. ]
No one in particular. I might keep some for Alphinaud when he shows up but other than that... I guess I'll hand them out to whoever I see.
[he noticed she's able to walk again and it's honestly a very good thing. he doesn't comment on it, but he's relaxed and very at-ease here as he watches her go, arms folded loosely over his chest.]
Yeah, I trust you. [he's peering at the ingredients while she sets up.] That sounds like a good idea though. [a nice idea, actually, and it's sweet? izumo's actually being openly soft and it's cute.] I bet people will like that.
[ sometimes you get healed by a magical girl that didn't' show up in your cyoa the first time around!!! either way, she'll portion out some rice and slap it into a rice cooker because i'm not about that stove top pot rice life.
...also she can sense him thinking of her softness. ]
Don't get too excited about what this means, okay? I'm doing this because tomorrow is our last day with one another.
Nope. We've earned this. So there's nothing wrong with doing this and there's nothing wrong with being happy we've come this far. I don't regret celebrating this part of it.
[even if everything is still glitching and breaking apart...the first and second major hurdles are over.]
[ things are still happening but they've done all that they can do and then some. ]
I'm sure someone's written about this kind of situation before.
How everything is fragile and how some people want to hold out until things are better, but sometimes that never comes so you just have to take the happiness that you can while you can.
Even if nobody's written it, that's pretty much how I feel. [that's almost verbatim to something he said to someone else in another thread, i hate that.] We may not know how far the end is now, but we know how far we've come. That's more than worth it.
[ she'll have been fiddlin' and mixing ingredients as they talk. sora is still welcome to watch her work away. ]
Here; try this.
[ she'll present to him the tiniest portion of bonito flakes mixed with some soy sauce for tasting. it's hella salty (thus the wee dab of it on a spoon) and she knows it but she wants to see if that's even a flavor he'd like. ]
[no it's his now. also thank you izumo for being chill with an onlooker.]
There are things we could've done better, maybe, but we got what we wanted. [but oh? he will do this taste-test, letting the flavor settle for a moment before he nods thoughtfully.]

[ you know, provided that things are good? ]
no subject
I know. So what? Does that change the part where it's a nice sentiment?
no subject
No...but you don't have to look so pleased about it.
no subject
...I want to be happy for as long as I can, Izumo. And this kind of thing makes me happy. Can't really help that.
no subject
It's just that a lot has happened and...there's nothing wrong in doing this. Just this once.

We did the best that we could and then some.

Not bad. It'll go well with the rice.
