Quite a change from roughing it, to foraging for supplies, to living in a very fancy house with all sorts of amenities. I wouldn't be used to it either.

Yeah. ...If you'd told me a year ago I'd so much as have my own house I would've asked what the fuck you were on. And if you'd told me two years ago I would've assumed you were taunting me and gotten pissed off.

Your own house, two wonderful paramours who adore you dearly, packmates, a job that pays comfortably well, an abundance of food available...

[ she's just... quiet, for a moment. ]

...and I'm turning twenty this weekend.

I didn't think I'd make it past eighteen. Forget having all this.

[ Choco's still trapped, and her head's still a mess, and there's other shit going on— there's always other shit going on.

but she's alive. despite everything, she's still here. ]

I'm glad you've made it this long, and that I was able to meet you.

Still here. Both of us.

[ SCRATCHY AS FUCK, as she wipes her face ]

Yeah.

I'm gonna— I haven't really felt like it since the mindfuck? But I think I'm gonna go yell at the moon tonight. If you want to join me.

There is truly nothing I would like to do more. Shall I come over now?

Uh— only if you don't mind hanging around while I get dinner started? Otherwise you could wait and come over when I have it ready.

Ah, would you like help making dinner, or would I be in your way?

[ hummms... ]

...wouldn't say no to help with side dishes. I'm not celebrating celebrating, but I think I want to do something nice tonight. —you okay with eel?

Sounds delicious. I'll be right over.

[Cooking together with pack, he'll never turn that down.]

Okay. You can let yourself in if I don't answer the door? I'll try to be quick, but— just in case I'm still catching dinner when you get here.

Understood. I'll see you soon.

[And he'll fly over - not using the fast travel, it's better exercise to fly.]

[ true to her word, when he gets there and comes in it's just in time to catch her emerging from the lazy river with something very wiggly in her mouth. she makes a muffled sound that can only really be transcribed as "!!" and goes to shove it into a nearby bucket. ]

Good timing.

For some reason, I didn't realize that this river was actually populated.

[Though now that he thinks about it, of course it is. Hunting is good enrichment.]

Some of it's not? But Donnie likes to go fishing, and I like eel.

[ she crawls under a large nearby towel, braces with all eight legs, and— goodness that's a big shake. that's a big shake. ]

[He doesn't laugh, but he does smile at the Big Shake.]

I do like a spot of fishing myself, though I can't claim to be very good at it.

Well, good news! You now have a shortcut to a fucking fully stocked lake, if you want to practice.

[ tugging a little at the towel, wiggling her way under it for maximum coverage— and shifts to her bipedal form under there. she climbs to her feet after, wearing the towel like an oversized cloak, and spends a couple of moments scrubbing at her hair with it. ]

I think I will take you up on that. Though I'll share the spoils with you, naturally.

Appreciated. I'll never turn down fish.

I thought you might not. Though, speaking of - what dishes pair well with eel? I didn't often cook with it in Tokyo-F.

Blanched spinach is good? Though— I think I'm making ochazuke, so that means broth and toppings. Do you mind doing a bunch of chopping?

I am happy to be employed in any way that would be helpful to you.

[He doesn't have like, Knife Trauma.]

Okay. Let me get all the stuff out, then—

[ time to haul EEL BUCKET to the KITCHEN and then start getting out ingredients for him: spinach and sesame seeds for the gomae, green onions, nori... then all the stuff for tare sauce, as well as assorted pots and pans. gonna eat well tonight, ]

The green onions and the seaweed should be chopped pretty finely, and then the spinach just needs blanched.

Yes, chef!

[doing all those things!! maybe we should handwave the cooking process a little,]
