57 - [video of feet + action]

[ The device turns on with a clatter and...purring. ]

—Hey! Cut it out-!

[ And Tyr's very annoyed voice as he tries to shoo away the two long-hair cats that are rubbing against his legs as he stands at the kitchen counter. ]

This isn't even— Sindar!

[ And a second later, another cat is plopped to the floor with the other two. ]

I don't know how Luc put up with you...

[ He finally reaches for his device to click off the feed. And probably get back to making breakfast. ]

[♥~!]

[Rita is just as stubborn, Tyr thinks.]

Yeah, whenever he gets back...

Anyway, do you want another plate of curry?

[negativegate]

[♥~!]

[Stubborn tsuns...

Rita nods and squeezes his hand again, figuring it's better if they drop the subject of Ted now. There's nothing they can do about him...]

Thanks, I already ate enough. But I liked it. Did you come up with that recipe?

[blackshadow]

[♥~!]

[So stubborn and cute...

He shakes his head. He doesn't want to keep talking about Ted either now.]

Nah, I followed a recipe I found... I can still give you it if you want to try it, though.

[negativegate]

[♥~!]

[Then Tyr fits right in too~

And Rita doesn't want Tyr to keep dwelling on it if they can help it, so her reply is a little more lighthearted.]

I don't need it when I have you to do the cooking, though.

[blackshadow]

[♥~!

It's what makes him cute and tsun~]

[Rita, thankfully, is good at getting him to stop thinking. Even though his chest still aches a little.]

You really want me to come and do the cooking for you from now on?

[negativegate]

[♥~!

Stubbornness is key?!]

[Rita will try to distract him as much as she can...]

Why not? You're pretty good.

[blackshadow]

[ ♥~!

It creates cuteness-! ]

[ He's still smiling for now. Even a little laugh! ]

I guess I could become your private chef if you wanted to hire me...

[negativegate]

[♥~!

It does! :D The fun kind~]

[A laugh! Rita definitely takes that as a good sign, and she smiles back.]

Deal.

[blackshadow]

[ ♥~!

There's another kind? ]

[ Going with subject changes is one of Tyr's strong points, and Rita definitely makes it easy. ]

Haha. Then I'll start immediately. It'll beat waiting on random people...

[negativegate]

[♥~!

...This is true! Just different kinds of fun ones. |D]

[Just happy chatting...]

And your payment can be free rent.

[blackshadow]

[♥~!

Heee~ Many kinds of fun!]

[Joking and being themselves~]

--You'd let me move in?

[negativegate]

[♥~! Also I have another exam tomorrow, so I'm gonna be busy studying.]

[Best way to cheer up~ And Rita's response isn't just joking anymore when she says-]

Yeah. Even if you weren't going to cook, you know. You could move in.

[blackshadow]

[ ♥~! Okay, good luck! /o/ I have a lot to catch up on, too. ]

[ It works every time~ He can tell she's being serious now, and that makes his cheeks redden a little. He'd be lying if he said he wasn't considering it now that it's just him, Riou, and their pets. ]

...Thanks. I'd have to tell Riou before I did, but...I don't think it'd be so bad staying with you...

I could help you make sure Estelle never has to eat cat food...

[negativegate]

[♥~! Thanks! I hope yours all goes okay, too. \o\]

[Seeing him blush makes a bit of pink creep up in her cheeks too, but she can't deny that she likes the idea.]

So you're volunteering for grocery shopping already?

[blackshadow]

[ ♥~! Thank you! ;v; ]

[ So cute. It makes him really want to do it... ]

I'll have to. You're the one who said I wasn't allowed to make cat food curry.

[negativegate]

[♥~! /holds! ;v;]

[THey spend enough time together already--living together wouldn't be that different, right?]

Damn right you're not. Unless you're actually cooking for the cats.

[blackshadow]

[ ♥~! /clings!! ;__; ]

[ It'll save them time and Tyr could see Yuri and Estelle more, too. This is turning into a good idea. ]

You'll really be making me work for my rent if I do that...

[negativegate]

[♥~! /cliiiings!! ;3;]

[Rita certainly likes the idea, and grins at him.]

You already volunteered. Besides, you'd have to keep your ingredients in stock, right?

[blackshadow]

[ ♥~! We can do anything-!! ;_; ]

[ Rita makes him really like the idea. Being with her like this every day is more than really nice. ]

But then I'll be keeping two separate sets of ingredients in stock... I could mix them up, and...you'll have cat food soup.

[negativegate]

[♥~! Heck yeah we can!! B|]

[They'd all be together this way--not only safer during curses, but the idea of Tyr always being around is...really nice, too.]

You wouldn't-! You'd just have to keep them organized!

[blackshadow]

[ ♥~! /HOLDS HAND ANYWAY >:'| ]

[ Being with Rita is definitely a perk to Tyr. Or maybe the main reason he wants to move... ]

It can be hard in a kitchen you're not used to... Sometimes salmon and chicken fillets look a like...

[negativegate]

[♥~! /HOLDS IT FOREVER!! B)]

[Totally not addicted to each other or anything...]

Hey, I know you're way better than that!

[H-huff-!]

[blackshadow]

[ ♥~! Kyaa, bff zen! ;v; ]

[ Not at all... Not like they enjoy cuddling or anything.

At that, Tyr has to chuckle a little. ]

I'll be careful just for you anyway. How's that sound?

[negativegate]

[♥~! Eee, bff lila~!]

[Nope, no cuddling or sappiness ever, right...

Teeease. But Rita smirks.]

You'd better! Or you'll be getting served dog food next.

[blackshadow]

[ ♥~! Cling cling~! ]

[ Right... And it's not like living together would ever tempt them to be like that, either.

And, well, there goes Tyr's smile. ]

You better not serve me dog food even when I am a dog.
