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.]

Not at all. Sit and join us. Kohaku's made a veritable feast.

[hopelessdreamer]

I can see that--it's more impressive than what I could do. You must be happy to have her back.

[she takes an empty seat.]

[ritsu-kouyou.livejournal.com]

Her cooking is what I've spent the last several years cooking, so it is a comfort of home.

I hope you don't mind being assigned to other areas. Hisui cannot clean the mansion alone.

[not with Kris making messes]

[hopelessdreamer]

[Gal shakes her head.] I don't mind. I was mostly a caretaker, but I can manage almost anything.

[ritsu-kouyou.livejournal.com]

If you ever end up not happy with the situation, please let me know.

[hopelessdreamer]

I can't really see that happening, but I'll keep it in mind.

[ritsu-kouyou.livejournal.com]

That's good to hear. I like having you here.

[hopelessdreamer]

[she blinks, caught a little off guard by that, but smiles.]

Even with the whole accidentally turning into a child thing?

[ritsu-kouyou.livejournal.com]

[Akiha is so chill and open, thanks to being high on Easy Listening music.]

That wasn't within your control.

[hopelessdreamer]

I appreciate your understanding, regardless. That was my...first experience with the really strange things that happen here.

[she braces herself for some questioning on the subject of some of the things her five-year-old self mentioned, but Akiha seems relaxed enough that perhaps the questions won't come.]

[ritsu-kouyou.livejournal.com]

At least I won't be surprised when either Hisui or Kohaku fall prey to the same occurrence.

[Which she hopes never happens for quiet reasons. And she doesn't feel the need to ask questions at the moment. She may at some point in the future...]

[hopelessdreamer]

I'll keep an eye out for it, too. At least with three of us, the loss of one for a bit won't be a disaster, right?

[ritsu-kouyou.livejournal.com]

One? Not at all. Though if it gets both you and Kohaku, we will be in dire straits indeed. [a slight chuckle]

[hopelessdreamer]

[she smiles in return.]

As undignified as it might be, I have faith you'll be able to pull through until things are set right again.

[ritsu-kouyou.livejournal.com]

I suppose I could always find some way to talk the idiot magician into cooking...

[hopelessdreamer]

Are you sure you want to risk the kitchen?

[her grin is good-natured--she doesn't mind Kris at all, but the only thing she's demonstrated so far is a knack for destruction.]

[ritsu-kouyou.livejournal.com]

If I tell her it's the only way she's going to eat, she'll manage to not destroy it.

[hopelessdreamer]

Didn't she decide to work for you because she's too lazy to do it in the first place?

[ritsu-kouyou.livejournal.com]

That was one of her motivations, yes, but she will cook for herself over having nothing.

[hopelessdreamer]

Well, it's good to know she won't starve without us. [a quiet laugh. She's nothing if not tolerant of lazy, spoiled people, so Kris's behavior doesn't really faze her.]

[ritsu-kouyou.livejournal.com]

Or she'll con someone else into cooking for her.
