Amanda

"Were you a rebellious little girl who didn't listen hmm?"

She let go of Eru and went on to season the meat before putting it on the frying pan. "What we're doing here is different from grilling, as you can see there's no open fire."

She flipped the meat after a while when it was starting to turn brown. "Now the last thing you want is for it get burn on either side." It was almost down now.

Eruraviel

"No! I just didn't want to marry my sister!" She complained as she followed Amanda's lead, watching her movements closely. "Aelene was a huge jerk who did nothing but bully me for being different!"

[Aiden]

Sage

"Did you eat her?" Sage abruptly asked, suddenly focusing on Eruraviel with a fierce intensity even beyond the unblinking vigilance she had held for most of the duo's cooking adventures.

[Bern]

Amanda

"Excuse me?"

She turned to look at the dragon girl as if she had gone mad.

"Eating someone of your own race is considered repugnant by most civilized races. I'd suggest you'd refrain from making such comments while in the company of others. It is one of the reasons why your kind are considered as beasts."

The food...

She turned around just in time to flip the mea before it was burnt.

[SINIB]

Eruraviel

"But, maybe I should have. She was quite uncivilized, herself... I remember how much she enjoyed orc meat, even though I had such a distaste for it..."

Eruraviel shook her head and sighed with a tired chuckle. She sounded sad and oddly vulnerable. "It would have certainly made things less complicated..."

Emiya

Morning: 8:13 AM

Emiya awoke to Tohsaka meowing loudly, demanding that his slave wake up and feed his majesty.

He moved to tell Sakura where he was going only to find she wasn't there.  Frowning, he sat up and idly stroked the cat's sleek, soft fur.  "Okay Buddy, let's get you something to eat," he said as he stood up from the bed, picking up the cat.

He quickly made the bed and headed to Tsumiko's room.  He gently rapped his knuckles against her door.  "Hey, Tsumiko-chan, I'm going to make breakfast.  Do you want to join me?"

[SINIB]

Tsumiko

"Mmmm? Yeah, sure." She replied through the door, sounding entirely alert and awake. "Do you need help?"

In her voice, it sounded like Sakura was there, asking that question. Or perhaps it was truly Tsumiko? It was impossible to tell.

Inside the room, he could hear the clamor of her getting dressed.

[Elf]

Emiya

"I would like it if you did help," Emiya said with a smile.

He heard her get dressed and Tohsaka started digging his claws and kneading into Emiya's shoulder.  He petted the cat and said, "You'll get your food soon enough.  I promise you won't starve."

Tsumiko

"Kaaaaayyyyy." She answered lazily, bending over and putting on her pants. She looked at herself naked in the mirror for a while, pursing her lip before projecting a loose t-shirt and throwing it on, not bothering with a bra. She tapped her legs, projection socks before opening the door, full of smiles. She seemed a little bit bouncy, in fact.

"Come on, let's get going then!"

[Elf]

Emiya

"Alright, we'll make breakfast, I'll get ready for work and open the shop," Emiya said with a smile.

Tohsaka chortled in agreement.

[SINIB]

Tsumiko

With a triumphant slam, she opened the door. With a blush, she giggled. "Ehehe... So... Is this really real?" She fidgeted, looking down at her feel, and ignoring her aruosal. "I'm not still dreaming, am I?"

[Aiden]

Amanda

"Excuse me?"

She turned to look at the dragon girl as if she had gone mad.

Eruraviel

"But, maybe I should have. She was quite uncivilized, herself... I remember how much she enjoyed orc meat, even though I had such a distaste for it..."

Eruraviel shook her head and sighed with a tired chuckle. She sounded sad and oddly vulnerable. "It would have certainly made things less complicated..."

Sage

"Civilization is something your kinds created to protect the weak among you." Sage slowly got up from her seat, but did not appear visibly upset. "But if you would prefer I refrain while in your dwelling, I shall."

Seeing Eruraviel so upset, however, broke the pseudo-elf's expressionless facade in favor of a more gentle relaxation of tension. She moved instead to be by Eruraviel's side, and place her arms carefully around her from behind. "She is gone. You are not."

[SINIB]

Eruraviel

"Fufufu~" Eru brightened up considerably after that. "She is!" She pointed at the brilliant, priceless gemstone embedded in her forehead. "She's in there, being punished for the rest od time!"

[Elf]

Emiya

Emiya felt heat rise in his cheeks at the sight of part of Tsumiko (and part of a version of him if he really wanted to think about it) standing at full attention.

Don't make this awkward for her, he thought.

He smiled at her, kept his eyes on her mismatched ones and said, "No, you're not dreaming, but maybe you should head to the washroom and wash your hands before we start cooking.  Or do whatever girls need to do in the morning to wake up."

Yes.  That was good!  Give her the out to go take care of herself without being weird about it.  I'm not a complete idiot, he thought with pride.

Tsumiko

Her cheeks immediately flushed red, and she looked away sheepishly. "Uh. Oh. Okay. Sorry." She muttered, skulking away like a guilty dog. "Sorry." She muttered before turning the corner.

[Elf]

Emiya

"Tch," Emiya hissed between his teeth as Tohsaka gave him a sloe-eyed look.  The cat squirmed and Emiya let him go.

"Tsumiko," he called out, going after her.
