Huh? Yeah, I'm free--

[ He's a little surprised to say the least, but not necessarily unhappy. ]

What is it?

[ Terra didn't plan this out as much as he thought he did... but he did want to help Shirou out. He had been looking out for so many people. Wait, maybe he had an idea. ]

Nothing much, I guess. I was just wondering if you don't mind joining me in the cafeteria for a little bit.

If we get that early we should beat everyone else to it.

I definitely don't mind.

[ Not in the slightest, in fact. It would be a good thing, he thinks, to talk to others. A distraction from what he actually sees. ]

Alright.

[ He'll smile, glad the red head has no problems with it!

He'll lead him towards the cafeteria. ]

Do you have a favorite dish or anything, by the way?

[ He's kind of curious--the guy cooks but it's not like he has his favorites on his profile unlike someone. ]

Ah... not really? Although I'd rather not have any more mapo tofu.

[ That was definitely a mistake, in his eyes. Even if he got something out of it. ]

...What's mapo tofu?

[ Shirou ... naturally now he has to tell Terra the horrors. ]

It's basically... a dish with tofu set in a spicy sauce with some meat. Me and Kurusu had some yesterday and it was. It was bad.

[ As they're coming upon the cafeteria... ]

I guess I'm going to be crossing off my list of things to try. What made you guys want to try it anyway?

[ That's so weird, he thinks. Everything's great with meat...or supposed to be. But he knows a warning when he sees one. ]

I only ate it because Kurusu promised me a favor if I suffered with him...

[ And now they're in the cafeteria! He's making his way to the kitchen--he's decided that since they have free reign to make their meals, the brunet will actually cook something for them. ]

Was it worth it?

[ He has to ask... ]

If I figure out what I can use as a favor... maybe. Although we're not dead.

[ Okay, he'll laugh a little at that. ]

Well, sounds like it was probably was worth it, then.

... Mind waiting a moment? I'll be right back with something.

[ He'll be going formally into the kitchen. He thinks it's time for some hearty stew, so he gets to preparing that. ]

You think?

[ He can't help but scratch his cheek a little sheepishly, looking a little awkward. ]

But yeah, I don't mind at all.

[ It doesn't bother him in the slightest bit. At least, the hallucinations aren't too heavy right now, to say the least. ]

[ In reality, Terra doesn't get why Shirou's acting awkward--maybe he's just shy. So he'll say over from the kitchen, voice raised so he could be heard: ]

Yeah, I'm sure. Things like that usually work out.

I'm also sure you wouldn't ask for anything too embarrassing or go overboard, so he probably wouldn't mind.

[ Dobeedo food making in progress here. ]

[ Shy... yeah, that's it. Definitely. Totally. Although his cheeks turn red again as he glances away. ]

I-I'm not going to actually ask him something embarrassing. Besides, I'd rather not ask him that as a favor, since it's not fair to him.

[ Oblivious central, but just wait till he learns. ]

What do you mean by 'that'?

[ Terra "Couldn't read a romantic mood or crush in the area even if they tried" pants. But he is remarkably curious and asked without thinking. ]

... Eh?

[ ... ]

A-Ah, it's nothing. Forget I mentioned it.

Huh? Alright, if you say so.

[ And he'll totally accept that too, and viola! He's bringing out the meaty and veggie stew. Since he's prepared this a lot back home, he knows what he's doing, so he'll grab a bowl for them each. ]

It's done, so I'm bringing it out now, alright?

[ OH THANK GOD........ he probably was going to die if he had to confess, although it's questionable if he's not dying on Friday. ]

Yeah, alright. I'm excited to see what you've got.

[ NAH it'll be great when Terra finds out someday but not because he's forcibly pulling it out of Shirou.

Also wow!!! But yes, who knows who's dying...maybe both will continue to exceed their previous murdergame iterations' records, or maybe not. Time will tell. Currently time only tells that they're about to have a delicious meals, though. ]

Here it is. Just remember to blow on it if you're going to eat it right away, obviously.

[ He comes out with two bowls and hands one out to Shirou. ]

[ Maybe one day he will... but the food does look delicious as he takes the bowl and puts it on the table, peering at it carefully as he takes in the scent. Yeah, that's smells good. ]

Thank you. I'm sure it'll taste delicious.

[ He does blow on it and take a sip of the stew before feeling pretty satisfied at the taste. ]

I was right.

[ ...He smiles at that--he's glad that Shirou liked it. ]

...Good to hear that you like it. Not that I was expecting anything else [ he looks proud!! Look at this face!! ] but great to know for sure.

[ He blows on his meal and sips at it as well. So good. ]

Well, I do enjoy good food. There's no reason why I wouldn't.

[ He's a chef, after all. ]
