i'll be on the look out for you then!

[ he's about to offer to meet him halfway, but he supposes with the directions that would complicate things. so he stays in, and mostly just preps. when it's about time, he's about to go out and meet him in front of the house, but...

truly a good chickadee. ] Oh! Hold on, I'll be right there! [ he wipes his hands before going out to meet hush. as he thought, he must have been a little worried about the directions. he gives a small chuckle. ]

Sorry to have kept you waiting, but I promise you'll be met with a treat! [ he reaches up and gives hush a pat on the head.

something he realizes might have become kind of customary between them. ]

Uwah--!

[ headpats!!! while he's surprised... he tilts his head down to accept it shortly after? when that's done, he just shakes his head a little so his hair can fall back in place. ]

You didn't, don't worry. Were you cooking? You... Uh, something smells good.

[ there's a flash of "please pretend i didn't almost say something weird" on hush's face. but its become a curious expression at vane... and really chickadee. ]

[ as he thought, hush is great! the feel of his hair beneath his palms is soft and a little familiar. most of all, it’s physical and solid. while it seems like something so obvious and maybe even expected … lately, maybe he’s been feeling a little less secure in that regard. something that seems to dissipate the tiniest bit with that contact. ]

I was! [ vane smiles at the brief flash of something in hush's expression. if anything he chalks it off at just being embarrassed (over what though??) still, it makes him happy that hush seems interested. ] I made something simple. Sandwiches and a stew. Thought the stew would go down easy for you since you joke woke up. [ he leads hush into their simple home. ... "home" seems a little weird to call it, but he supposes that's what it was by now. ]

I also made dessert, too... but that's a secret until later. [ even if the secret is... half spoiled just by him mentioning this... ]

Do you cook?

[ brush it off, vane, brush it off. hush doesn't have much in the way of refine manners but being invited to his "home" is something he can be casual and not awkward about despite that. there's food in there, and vane invited him so he follows close behind, looking around but not too much. ]

Oh, that sounds good to me.... [ he says it quietly, but his eyes are almost shining at this humble afternoon menu. that could be hunger, but more like... ] Like what I'd eat with my comrades before.

[ hush won't be sad and nostalgic about that, tempting as it is with the long sleep thing. there's a little loneliness too, but hey vane said even he, no, people especially like him can feel that way. now, neither are going to be. problem solved! ]

Yeah I'd help out Atra-san or Euphemia-san with their cooking, so I picked up some things. Nothing fancy, Mikazuki-san and others might find it weird.

[ they're not kids of culture, so a of effort put into food they might not appreciate as much is wasteful? that said, no one's complaine about hush's cooking. he's good at perfect what he does know through practice. ]

[ he's happy that appears like it gets the seal of approval from hush.

this is only amplified by the words that follow. ] Really? Then, I'm glad. I was really sweating wondering if you'd like it.

[ not a complete lie, but he feels like he's already heard the best compliment. "like what i'd eat with my comrades before." it's kind of a soft or ticklish feeling, and vane smiles a little to himself. ]

But, if that's the case, maybe we could make something together next time. Something for our friends! [ then, suddenly: ] Ah, speaking of! [ he's almost forgot the spoons while getting everything else prepared. still, he turns to hush who happens to be closer to the drawer. ]

Would you mind getting some cutlery from in there?

the sincerity of a simple war orphan (child soldier) really hits those weak points of vane's, doesn't it. but maybe that's good! hush isn't actually making an active effort to please chickadee big bro; in fact he feels comfortable and calmer.

the only thing that maybe throws him off a little is how outgoing and wholesome he is in helping a hush out and being so moved by him. yes the "wholesome" is important here because of shino, but shino is a good brotherly guy too.

That sounds fun. Um, I'll try not to get get in your way!

he meant that literally, since as of late when he cooked, it was in smaller kitchens. before, atra is a short girl and after certain events, literally knocking her over would be Bad. ah, the old shameful days where he was a jerk. back to reality where vane makes a simple request, hush nods his head afte following vane's line of sight to where the cutlery would be.

On it!

[ for two people and some simple but nonetheless delicious lunchdishes, they don't need need much and hush is pretty efficient. voici, cutlery! now to get to the table. ]
