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. ]

[♥~!

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.

[negativegate]

[♥! /cliiiinging~ Also heading off now! Have a good night~]

[Of course, they'd never let that happen...

Rita actually laughs at his change in expression.]

Wouldn't it be healthy when you're a dog?

[blackshadow]

[ ♥~! /huuuug~ And thank you! I hope you sleep well and have a good day tomorrow! /o/ ]

[ It'd be so strange for them...

So cruel. ]

I'd rather be an unhealthy dog than eat whatever's in animal food.

[negativegate]

[♥~! /snuggle~! And thank you! I hope you have a good day, too! \o\]

[Totally bizarre...

>:3]

Then no cat food curry, got it?

[blackshadow]

[♥~! /huuuug~ Thanks! :3 Good afternoon!]

[Too much so...

He gives a lopsided smile himself.]

Got it. Not even if you're a cat again...

[negativegate]

[♥~! /huuuugs~! Good afternoon! I hope everything's going well!]

[Too much for them!]

[And Rita gives him a little huff, though she trusts he wouldn't actually do it.]

Cat or not, I wouldn't eat it!
