Let's celebration!

[maiderer.livejournal.com]

Characters: All residents of the Tohno mansion!
Date: Sunday.
Summary: Kohaku's taken over the kitchen in order to prepare something delicious. The mansion is bustling with people (who aren't vampires or freeloaders), and it doesn't feel so empty. No reason to celebrate? Who needs a reason? Meet us in the dining room!
Warnings: I dunno, swearing if people who jump in the log swear?

[The layout of food is fairly luxurious. Since Akiha and Hisui have been here longer than Kohaku has, she feels like she hasn't cooked for them in a long time (even when it's just been a few days, in her time.) The orchard provided amazing ingredients, and while eclectic, western and eastern dishes sit next to each other side by side all across the table. It seems she couldn't pick a theme with her cooking, and went with 'whatever is delicious!' Don't be mad, Akiha-sama! She'll clean the kitchen later-- wait.

She calls into the mansion, loud enough for everyone to hear.]

Dinner is ready! Please don't skip out on it, there's something for everyone!

[Then she realized it probably would have been more maidlike to go door to door.

Oops.]

[Whereas it might have been more maidlike, Akiha doesn't feel like scolding Kohaku. There was pleasant music in the air and the girl was feeling far more relaxed than she had since arriving at the Garden. Perhaps it was having a semblance of her household back (though Nii-san was still missing), or perhaps it was because Kris hadn't ticked her off lately.

Coming inside from the back where she'd been gazing at the falling leaves, a mostly finished glass of a thick red liquid in hand, Akiha smiles at Kohaku.]

It smells heavenly.

[maiderer.livejournal.com]

Ah, Akiha-sama, where is the music coming from?

[ She'll finish putting the final touches on the dishes before stepping back. ]

Is it true the person in charge did it? I think it's a very nice gesture. Soothing!

[ritsu-kouyou.livejournal.com]

Until it proves troublesome to do so, accepting the Queen's gesture is only proper. After all, she is our host. Perhaps she'll accept my offer for tea.

[Pause to finish the glass and then Akiha hands it to Kohaku to deal with.]

Maybe she'll be more willing to explain her reasons if treated civilly.

[maiderer.livejournal.com]

Ahaha, I've never cooked for royalty before...!

[ She'll refill the glass and hand it back to Akiha. ]

I'm sure being sweeter will be more effective. I doubt someone that strong responds well to threats.

[reluctantstop.livejournal.com]

[That's fine, Kohaku. Because the second the word 'dinner' rings out in the mansion, Kris appears by the table, stepping out of a hole in space.]

Oh, I can't wait!

[maiderer.livejournal.com]

I'm glad! Please, make yourself comfortable!

[reluctantstop.livejournal.com]

Just take a seat at the table?

[maiderer.livejournal.com]

Yes. [ She'll nod her head and pull out a chair. ]

[lifes-expensive.livejournal.com]

[Well this one is not going to a) pass up a free meal, and b) miss dinner when she knew Kohaku had probably put a lot of effort in to it. So she's going to stroll downstairs and in to the dining room and-]

[Whoa that's a lot of food. She wasn't kidding when she said she was going cooking something great for dinner.]

You've really outdone yourself, Kohaku-san.

[maiderer.livejournal.com]

Not really-- well, maybe I went a bit overboard...

... but with so many people staying, I couldn't help myself. ♥

[lifes-expensive.livejournal.com]

There's nothing wrong with having passion in what you do.

[Much better than basing your entire existence on revenge- I MEAN.]

[ritsu-kouyou.livejournal.com]

[Akiha never bothered to actually talk to their guest, but she nodded in greeting to Black Jack from across the dining room.]

When it comes to cooking, that's a tall order. Perhaps she has.

[lifes-expensive.livejournal.com]

[That's fine by her; It's not like Black Jack went out of her way to find Akiha either. But she'll get a return nod all the same.]

You may be right. But, it's not a particularly bad thing either.

[reluctantstop.livejournal.com]

[Of course, Kris is sitting at the table and she waves at Black Jack when she comes in.]

Hi!

[lifes-expensive.livejournal.com]

[Oh hey it's that girl from the other day. That's certainly a surprise.]

Hello, Kris. I didn't realize you where staying here as well.

[hopelessdreamer]

[being relieved of kitchen duty leaves her with entirely too much free time. Which she spends tinkering, trying to recreate something similar to the mechanical dog she befriended a while back. As it is, she's absorbed in her work when the call comes, and doesn't respond immediately.]

[which makes her a little late when the smell of food actually reaches her and she comes downstairs to investigate. Oops.]

[ritsu-kouyou.livejournal.com]

[Guess who gets to clean up the mess in the kitchen Kohaku left? No one lets Kohaku clean inside like no one lets Hisui cook.]

Glad you could join us.

[Says Akiha as she sits at the table not in her regular seat (Kris is in that) and sips a glass of red liquid.]

[hopelessdreamer]

[sigh. She's far too good-natured to complain.]

My apologies. I'm not too late, am I?

[maiderer.livejournal.com]

Gal...! I hope you don't mind I took over the kitchen for a bit!

[hopelessdreamer]

Well, technically it is your kitchen, I was just filling in for a while. Of course I don't mind.

But this looks like it was a lot of work--you could've asked me for help if you needed it.

*Hisui hesitates to head down but she knows she has to. She's been wearing her emotionless mask whenever Kohaku has been around and by now it should be obvious to anyone and everyone.

It's all super awkward, to be honest.

Either way, she'll join everyone else in the dining room and stand by the wall, waiting to be called upon if she's needed.*

[ritsu-kouyou.livejournal.com]

[Akiha, glass of thick red liquid in hand, eventually joins Hisui by the wall to look upon everyone gathered in the dining room. The fact that she's openly carrying the drink should be an indication that something is going on with her, but the music was so very soothing and relaxing, leading Akiha to find there was little need to get worked up over the little things.

...but there was this situation. She speaks in a quiet tone with her maid that won't carry to anyone else in the room.]

When are you going to talk to her? You can't tell me this isn't painful for you.

[middaysdream.livejournal.com]

*She responds in a whisper. Hisui would try to question dodge but this is Akiha we're talking about.*

Akiha-sama, I cannot do such a thing.

[maiderer.livejournal.com]

[ Smiling brightly at her sister! What could go wrong? ]

Aha, Hisui... when everyone is done eating, could you help me in the kitchen? [ She made a massive mess, yes. ]

[middaysdream.livejournal.com]

*Nothing of course!*

Of course. I would be glad to assist you, Nee-san.
