(open) where have you been?

[forethinking]

Who: Ren Amamiya + Bonnie's Flophouse residents + ADI visitors!
When: July 29th
Where: Bonnie's kitchen
Summary: Just Ren being homely, making food for everyone! Curry night! Feel free to make your own top-level, you don't have to interact only with Ren!
Warnings: None aside from the gentle reminder that he was indeed a seal and everything that happened in there. Also mentions of P5 spoilers!


(Being in his body feels strange from time to time. It feels a little concerning to have fingers when you once had a fin, to be able to hold objects in your palm, super weird to have toes, so on. He's been a rat before, but it was for much less time than he had been a seal, and it wasn't traumatizing then. It was actually pretty fun! He remembers hopping around, flamboyantly, eating cheese, doing what he does best! Being a seal, it wasn't so great.

But at least he's always looking forth, with a smile that never wavers, so instead of dwelling on what happened, Ren can make himself useful around the house by doing what he does best. Nevermind him adding a little chocolate to it! It's a family trade!)

Could you stir this for me for a second?

[It would be so easy to snap Ren's long, dexterous fingers. So easy to just adjust his grip, hold the other boy's pointer and middle finger together and shove him to the ground in a joint lock. He could break at least one of his fingers before Ren could even think of reacting, and several more before he could actually do something about it.

He doesn't, of course. But it's the trust that Ren shows, in spite of everything, that leaves him snorting through his nose with equal parts derision and disbelief. That Ren can still be so foolishly trusting after what he's been through... he's either incredibly strong, or shockingly stupid. Probably both.]

Good.

[His point made, he should let go of Ren's hand. When's the last time he'd let his ungloved hand linger in someone else's...? Not since he was a child, certainly.

A moment, then he does let go, clearing his throat and taking his fork to the curry.]

You should see if ADI has a physical therapist on staff.

(Great that Akechi thinks of violence while Ren gayly stares at the man with the silliest smile on his lips, just very fitting for their relationship, truly.

He has no reason to mistrust Akechi, not anymore. Without a clear objective in mind, Akechi wouldn't just lash at Ren for no reason, or so he thinks.

And he adored having his hand taken, there's signs of a small pout when their skin disconnect and he turns his attention to the food instead.)

I'll be fine in no time, I think. I'll do it if it worsens.

"An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure"... or so they say. You, of course, can do as you wish.

[Though his tone implies that Ren would be an idiot not to at least find out his options. He sniffs with another hint of derision. Surely Ren could find another doctor to supply him with suspiciously-strong medications once again, if he only put the effort into it.]

Regardless, I meant to ask earlier. Regarding this curry... do you happen to know a vegetarian version of it? With tofu, perhaps, or a plant substitute?

[forethinking]

(He'll live through this, he's sure! It's truly nothing to worry about, they can move on from the conversation, nothing to see here. Look, he's even eating like he's forgotten everything about it and it's not like the feeling of the fork between his fingers irk him at all!)

Tofu or mushrooms could go well. Why?

[simulatio]

One of my roommates is vegetarian. Monika.

[She'd gone on about it being for environmental reasons, which is all very nice. Of course, Akechi doesn't particularly care about any potential fate for the planet, and often thinks that quite a few problems would be solved if it were to destroy itself, but good for her.]

You obviously have a habit for wanting to feed those around you. I simply thought you might appreciate a heads-up should you decide to stop by.

[-And feed him and his roommates, of which, of course, Akechi will reap the social benefits. And the food benefits.]

[forethinking]

Thanks.

(Meaning it's time to dig into the internet for more recipes - perhaps he should learn how to make some international dishes as well, considering there are people from all around the world that are stuck here with them.)

Do you mind testing new recipes with me?

(He needs a guinea pig.)
