[ YEAH. WELL. ... YOU'RE A BUTTFACE OKAY!!1

-- oh no where is he going? reyson shoots him a momentary glare, then immediately regrets it; his temper is bubbling close to the surface, but it won't do the make enemies. especially not if he plans to remain acquaintances - friends - with yue.

and so the glare crumples, and reyson sighs, his shoulders slumping. ]

It's nothing. I overreacted. I apologize.

[ BAH. ]

[Yue halfway turns his head to make note of Touya's departure, though he says nothing of it. He isn't at his best in the mornings to begin with, and today he's in a rather unpleasant mood and not inclined to be terribly talkative, though... Reyson's apology does seem to reduce at least some of his agitation.]

You should be safe to return home, now that it's light out. If... you did not wish to stay for breakfast.

[It isn't that he's trying to kick you out or anything, really. It's just that maybe this discussion should be held at a later time and he's grasping to change the subject quickly.]

[Yeah, yeah--whatever Reyson. He's hungry and wants to be clothed. Glare away, he's never phased.]

[Touya reemerges, finishing pulling down a t-shirt and wearing slippers now. He might not have been able to get Reyson to stay for breakfast, but Yue might. He heads into the kitchen to start the food--either way, he's going to eat.]

Am I cooking for Yukito too? [He asks as he opens the refrigerator.]

[ hey hush he isn't glaring anymore.

instead he's struggling internally, attempting to decide which would be more discourteous - declining breakfast, or sticking around. well, refusing the offer seems ungrateful, but accepting means more of this painful awkwardness.

there is no right answer.

but eventually reyson gives in. clearing his throat, he shoots yue an apologetic glance, then steps toward the kitchen. ]

Do you need any help?

[ he can make a mean fruit salad okay. ]

[Yue meets Reyson's look with a small nod, some of his visible tension fading as he turns back toward the kitchen himself.]

I certainly have no intention to eat.

However—

[He cuts off for a moment, drawing his wings about himself in a rush of incandescent light, and then Yukito blinks, smiles, and finishes the sentence.]

—give me just a moment to change, and I'll help as well.

[Touya looks over his shoulder, a little surprised at the offer. But he's cooled off a little, and he never saw a reason to be outright mean to Reyson. Just be a little jealous of his being pretty and winged like Touya wasn't.]

Sure. [He's thinking today is a pancakes sort of day. It's the only thing that can save this morning. Touya hands Reyson a box of strawberries.] Wash and cut these up. ...The whole box. [Right. Reyson was about to see something inhuman, and probably wasn't aware that the box might not be enough.]

[ ooooh, strawberries. reyson loves strawberries.

but the whole box? he glances toward the box in his hands, up to touya's face, then down to the box again. all of them? ]

.. All of them?

[ all right well IF YOU'RE SURE. cutting up fruits and vegetables is something that he's had a lot of practice with, so he can totes handle this. off to the sink we go. ~~do you even know how long it took him to figure out sinks when he first got here...~~ ]

[It's the matter of only a couple of minutes before Yukito re-enters the kitchen, this time in clothing rather than his pajamas, though his hair is still slightly sleep-rumpled. He brightens at the sight of the strawberries Reyson is attending to, then glances over to see what Touya is doing.]

What are we having? Can I help?

[Touya looks back, completely serious, standard neutral expression on his face.]

All of them. [They're going to need them.]

[He looks back at Yuki and hands him the dry ingredients and a measuring cup.] Pancakes. That okay?

[ right. all of them. he'll just be rinsing these off now, trying very hard not to be awkward, but that's kind of hard when you're a heron in a kitchen washing strawberries. he keeps his wings tucked in as tightly to his back as possible.

and hey yuki is back-- ]

What are.. pan cakes?

Of course! I love pancakes.

[Though as he takes his assigned workload he hesitates to give Reyson a thoughtful look.]

It's like... sort of like flat pieces of sweet bread. You said something about a strict diet, though, didn't you?

[He can make other things, too, if needed. It isn't as though he's unaccustomed to making a lot of food.]

[Wow, not knowing what pancakes were? Dang Reyson, if you're going to be friends with Yuki, a lot of food education is in your future.]

[Touya lets Yuki and Reyson discuss dietary things, he's going to be prepping to cook. Pan, spatula, pitcher for the batter, plate...]

[ laguz don't eat the same way as beorc okay, especially herons. sob. these pancakes sound safe enough, but.. trying new things is always a hazardous game. one or two bites wouldn't hurt, though. ]

Oh, that sounds familiar..

[ reyson at least is familiar with a knife; it's a beorc tool, perhaps, but laguz used them quite often to spear and slice food. so let's chop some strawberries here. ]

I think I may have seen them before, but it sounds like a beorc food; we didn't generally eat things like that in Phoenicis, I don't think I've ever had one.

Oh, really?

[Yukito will just be setting to work, measuring out ingredients with the easy, practiced air of much practice. Though, he is measuring out an awful lot of those ingredients... enough for an entire family, not just two-and-a-dubious-third.]

What do you normally eat, where you're from? I'm always interested in new recipes.

[And Touya isn't flinching while he watches Yuki put cups and cups of flour into the mixing bowl. He's helping measure out the wet ingredients, break the eggs, while Yuki talks to Reyson. Touya isn't trying to be standoffish or rude--this is just his default mode of operation. And he is paying attention to the conversation while he works.]

[ it's getting a little easier, but reyson still feels like the most awkward of turtles. yukito and yue may essentially be one in the same, but they're different enough that reyson feels like he's in this kitchen with two strangers.

how did this even happen. ]

Well, my diet isn't really an accurate representation of what's customary to most of the citizens of Tellius - we herons are rather.. limited. Fruits, nuts, vegetables - that's about all that I can eat. I usually didn't spend too much time preparing my food, but I'm sure I can remember how to throw together a few things.

Oh? Hm. Well, I know I have some good vegetarian recipes...

[Touya's silence is something Yukito takes entirely in stride, after knowing hin for so long. As long as he seems content with what he's working on, and not glaring at their guest, then everything should be fine.

Yukito falls silent himself for a moment to consider as he sifts flour into the bowl, before the bright smile returns in force.]

You should stop by Seventh Heaven some time when I'm working. Then you can try some of them for yourself.

How are you with dairy? [Touya finally breaks his silence--or really, he thinks of something to say. His first thought when he hears 'vegetables' is 'spinach quiche', but it does include other stuff besides fruit, vegetables, and nuts.]

[He holds up the bottle of milk to indicate before pouring it into the cup measure for the pancakes.]

Dairy and grain are fine, in limited amounts. One meal shouldn't be a problem.

[ for really in this case, it's less that his body can't tolerate, and moreso that he doesn't gain much from it in nutritional value. but he'll make up for that later in the day. reyson's kind of weak to delicious cakes and pastries.

just NO MEAT PIES. ]

Seventh Heaven? What is that?

[ he doesn't get out much okay. ]

Oh! You haven't been to Seventh Heaven?

[...though it does make sense, if he mostly eats fruits and vegetables without special preparation. Yukito had just assumed that everyone in the village knew about the place, especially considering how many of them came in and out in search of a meal.

He blinks once, then his smile brightens even more (if that's possible).]

It's a restaurant, in the village. We both work there, and if you haven't been by you really should.

['One meal shouldn't be a problem'. Touya thinks to himself that if he had to eat only one prepared meal a day, and then live on ready-to-eat stuff the rest of the time, he'd long for that one meal all day. Of course, food was kind of a big deal in their house.]

[He starts mixing the milk into the batter.] It's across from the fountain. Right at the entrance to that plaza area.
