[SEMI-OPEN] So I heard someone was sick

[optimisticmonk]

Who: Tifa Lockhart, Darin + the rest of the Lion house
When: During event stuff
Where: The Lion House.
What: Tifa just heard that Darin is sick! And now she's worried sick! What if he contaminates the whole house and hurts his roommates? Only one way to find out.
Warnings: Things are going to be silly. Very very silly

'Darin'

Tifa has been pretty much staying out of it what was going on. She finally found herself a job and didn't want to fool around for her first month! And since she was doing so well, why not bring it up with her new friend? Not to mention bringing a meal to Shiro. After their time shopping together, she was really afraid of what his diet consisted of.

'It must be soooo boring. I can't wait for him to try this!'

And Darin trying her meals. She cooked so much in her quaint apartment. She hopes he's not too sick to like it.

So here she goes. After texting Darin that she was coming over with a ~stunning~ surprise, Tifa rings the bell and waits for the warm welcome.

Yeah. It's that bad.

[He's not proud of it, but hey, he's honest.]

[And just sort of idly watching, leaning on the counter.]

I can see that. Pretty sure Hunk won't mind.

[optimisticmonk]

Great!

...there's someone actually named Hunk? That's so cute. His mom is smart.

[Getting done with the veggies, she sets it aside as she gets a clean liner ready for cutting meat. Washing her knife, she gets curious.]

So I'm thinking about making a stew, since I dunno if you care for soup or not. I figured Stew is a good inbetween. But I need to know what kind of meats you like first.

And rice! Do you like brown, white, in onigiri form or bed form?

[shiro2hero]

Yeah, I'm surprised you haven't met him yet. Wears a bandanna, yellow shirt?

[And he has no idea if that's Hunk's real name or not, but hey. He's not one to judge peoples' names.]

Hey, food is fine with me. Any food, really. All of us spent months with nothing but green goo, so. None of the people in this house are going to be picky.

... same goes for rice.

[optimisticmonk]

Mmmmmmm nope? I will keep an eye out for that. Cause I'm super curious now.

[Oh yeah, he did talk about that green goo. Gross]

Wow you shouldn't have said that. Cause now I have to go
all out. There's no way I can leave you with a mediocre dish now.

[shiro2hero]

He's a good guy. We're all lucky he's here.

[In a lot of ways. Hunk is all kinds of a blessing.]

What? No, you really ... don't have to do that.

[optimisticmonk]

Too late~!

[And he's gonna watch Tifa cook up a storm, making a nice stew AND rice balls AND a fresh salad.

And since she's no wonder woman and isn't making dessert, she's gonna start making a cocktail instead.]

You better wash up and sit. Your drink's almost done.

[shiro2hero]

Whoa -- wait. Drink?

[He wasn't paying attention to that part. Sure, the rest is kind of mesmerizing. Like watching Hunk at work. But he should have been listening. Or being more observant.]

I'm sorry. I don't really drink. Alcohol, I mean.

[optimisticmonk]

[She nods and finishes the drink, pouring it in one glass and dumping the rest in the sink, to get it ready for a new one.]

Then I can make you a mocktail and have water on the side for you?

...and if you reaaaally don't like sweet or tart drinks, then water's great. But I gotta be honest, you look like a drinking man.

[shiro2hero]

I don't have anything against regular drinks. Just... non-alcoholic.

[For a laundry list of reasons.]

Sorry. Guess appearances are deceiving that way.

[optimisticmonk]

Heh, it's ok.

I need to surround myself with sober people anyway. It's not nice to be next to a drinker all the time. You bring about a nice change of pace.

[She then smiles at him]

Then if you want, I got your water ready. Let's eat!

[shiro2hero]

Hah, that's the first time I've ever heard that one.

[Usually it's "fun police". Or something.]

You're pretty gracious to do all of this for people you barely know. I appreciate it, don't get me wrong.

[optimisticmonk]

Well you helped out a complete stranger on shopping and just giving me a mini info-dump on this place in general. I owe you a lot, Shiro.

[She then slightly blushes]

Plus you seem really cool. I probably would have done this for you regardless. I hate seeing people sick.

[shiro2hero]

Hey, it just seemed like the right thing to do. We're supposed to be helping people in the universe, after all.

[He shrugs, because, to him, it's really nothing.]

I appreciate it. You and Hunk seem a lot alike, that way.
