[A. Action - Downtown]

[Marisa has a bag of groceries in hand and the top thing in her bag is an open container of mushrooms. As she heads back to the residential areas, she munches on the mushrooms like they're candy.

And she's giggling.]

[B. Action - 340 Brady Lane]

[Marisa's bustling about the kitchen, looking oddly domestic with a frilly apron on and her hair pulled back, as she cooks. There's a couple containers of mushrooms set out, one opened and half eaten.]

Very well then...

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

[Marisa gives a grin before heading back over to finish dinner.]

Don't worry, I'll behave myself. Probably.

How hungry are you? I'm not sure what a proper portion is...

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

Just a small bowl will be perfect.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

One small bowel coming up~

[And there it is, all steamy and yummy looking. Marisa can follow recipes well! She gets her own and sits down with the wine.]

I hope this works as Italian, ze.

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

Well it certainly smells lovely. -Patchy sits herself down across from Marisa... And seems to be waiting for something.-

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

[Meanwhile Marisa is watching Patchouli expectantly, waiting for her to try it and tell her how the food tastes. She might need some prompting here. Romantic the witch may be, but class and manners she lacks.]

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

-... The smile fades eventually.-

... You've never done this before, have you?

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Cooked Italian? No...

[Now she's starting to wonder what she did wrong. Food - check. Wine - check. Mushrooms - check. Girlfriend - check. What was she missing?]

Or, well, I've never really cooked anyone dinner before other than just myself or Reimu, and she doesn't count.

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

... Nevermind. I'm setting my expectations too high. -How Does I Casual?-

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

No, no, tell me, ze. If there's something I'm supposed to be doing, let me know. I mean, I got the food served, the wine served and you, so if there's something else... I don't know what it is.

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

No... It's my problem too. I'm used to finer things. Proper table manners and whatnot.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

[Marisa looks down for a moment, brow furrowed, and then looks back up.]

I... I can learn.

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

...

In all honesty, I'd rather you didn't. -What.-

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

[blink]

...I don't understand.

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

I don't want you changing yourself for me. I don't want you to feel pressured to be something you are not. I want you to remain the girl I fell in love with. If that means a lack of table manners, then so be it.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

[Marisa thinks on this for a moment, spearing a mushroom with her fork. She seriously doesn't know what the 'right' thing, table manner-wise, is. She's not talking with her mouth full or anything...

So she just smiles and points at Patchouli's bowl with the mushroom adorned fork.]

...alright. So, you gonna try it and tell me how I did?

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. -She gathers up a small, smaaaaall bite, and places it in her mouth, chewing slowly.-

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

[Watching expectantly on the edge of her seat, leaning forward!]

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

... Do you want an honest opinion?

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

...

[Oh, Gods, Patchouli hates it! Marisa kinda deflates.]

...yeah. Go ahead. Lay it on me, ze.

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

It's not the best I've ever had. But you followed the recipe well. And I can taste the effort that went into it, enhancing its flavor. I recommend, however, being a bit more adventurous next time. After all, that is what you do best, yes?

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

[That was better than she's thought.]

Oh... ok. Now that I know what it's supposed to taste like, I can give it some flavor, ze.

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

It's quite good overall. You did a great job, Marisa.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Yes! [fist pump and grin.]
