[hey there Nippon, it's your local oni, broadcasting live from Kyoto - and more importantly, from Uji and the MRU's campus]

Hahahaha! Hey Nippon, did you know today's a super important day? [a dramatic pause, before he laughs again] It's my birthday!

And seeing as it's so important, I gotta go real big with the celebration! Location's a big deal, you know, and I thought real hard about the perfect spot. [he nods a few times] At first I thought it had to be somewhere worthy of an awesome guy like me. Somewhere grand and and worthy and just as awesome as I am! But you know what?

Right here in Uji is the most perfect spot! And spending the day with a bunch of friends and a bunch of oni sounds like the only way to celebrate! Gotta max those good vibes, y'know?

So if you wanna, we're in Uji at the university hanging out all day. And we're gonna cook some delicious food later on, so you definitely don't wanna miss out!

—oh, yeah! It ain't just my birthday, but it's Paimon's, too! Hey chibi, come get some food, I ain't saving any for you!

Who, Shinobu? Nah, no way. [not even a blush] She's part of my gang - the second in command.

[ Well, she has to be sure. ]

So that's not your kink, hm?

I don't know what you're talking about.

[his kinks are PRIVATE thank you ~~now that he knows what some of them are~~ He holds the plate out to her] There ya go.

[ He's a bad liar, but she expects he's a decent cook by the look of the dish's presentation. Appearances can be deceiving, of course, but the aroma isn't questionable, not that scent is the greatest of her senses. She accepts the plate properly with both hands and, rather than yield a quip and call him out, offers a simple -- ]

Thank you for this meal.

[ -- and quickly gets to that first bite, which -- ]

Mm!

[he doesn't need Setsura's approval or nothing (he really doesn't! Who cares if she doesn't like it!!) but he watches anyway, for no reason beyond that she is there doing something that has his attention really]

You like it?

[ She nods while she's in the process of chewing and swallowing. When she swallows, she nods once again. ]

Yes, it's very good!

[ Enough that she's taking a second bite rather than quipping at him. ]

[oh . . . well, good!! There's no one else waiting on food so he starts cleaning up, just enough in case someone decides they want seconds]

I'm glad.

—told ya it was my specialty.

[ Surprisingly, she does not break from eating the dish to quip. She came with an appetite, not that hers is terribly large. She does swallow before she speaks again, though. ]

You might have to help me finish this, though.

[ She eats like a bird, but perhaps not exactly for the reason one might think. ]

[a bird youkai with the appetite of a bird, he wouldn't be shocked at all. But he doesn't comment on it. Setsura tried his food and liked it and ate plenty, that's more than he expected]

That little lavender melon might come by and claim it before I can.
