Is this how it works? Ha! Got it!

Hey, this is the equivalent of getting in touch with the mighty Kumou Tenka - yours truly - if I'm otherwise busy. Tell me what you need and I'll get back to you as soon as possible! Talk to you soon.

[That's absolutely what Orochi strength is good for because only sometimes does Tenka punch people with it anymore.

Anyway he's letting go of Sousei and nodding then, sitting on one of the stools by the counter and plopping his little pizza making kit on the counter.]

Go get a bowl for those. I like the ones with long necks!

Nothing that wasn't accurate. Just leave it.

[deontology]

[no?????

Sousei doesn't look amused at all, but he grabs the bowl at least, setting it down sharply.]

...What are these?

[what the fuck were you buying, Tenka]

[sunshrouded]

Dino nuggets.

[that's as much of an answer as he has for you, Sousei. he doesn't really know what a dino is or what a nugget is but he thinks they're some sort of weird creature with long necks sometimes if the packaging is anything to go by

but alright, he's just opening the little pizza making kit now and tilting his head]

What'd the bowl ever do to you?

[sunshrouded]

I'm not gonna leave it.

[sunshrouded]

you're in a bad mood.

[and that's all the reason he needs]

text

[allfortheclan]

I'm fine. I just need to find a different job.

[deontology]

[What though. What???

Regardless, he doesn't know either, so... he just frowns at the bowl.]

... [Dismissing that comment tbh.] None of this looks appetizing.

[sunshrouded]

but do you have any other talents besides making tea and cleaning

[sunshrouded]

[Sousei's in such a grouchy mood. Tenka rolls his eyes at that and slides over the little pizza making thing.]

Fine, we'll switch jobs.

[Because Tenka's new job is now grabbing all the condiments from the cabinets that Sousei typically puts on his food....]

You're so difficult today.

[deontology]

[???? What is he supposed to do with this....Sousei stares down at the tiny pizza making kit for a moment.

Is this even edible....... it's cheese in a box.

.... ..... ... Slowly, he pulls out some of the cheese. (Maybe he'll go back and find Milla again.) But at least it gives him something to focus on.

He takes a slow breath.]

...Fine. I'll make this... [...???] ...pizza.

[ RUDE!!! ]

Cooking?

[sunshrouded]

Good. One of us has to.

[As Tenka's trying to collect all the dumb sauces that normally satisfy Sousei's tastebuds.... and then he reads the instructions for the dino nuggets and starts setting them in the bowl, probably in positions that make them look like they're about to fight.]

... So are you going to tell me what's wrong or do I have to guess?

[sunshrouded]

THAT'S THE OPPOSITE OF A TALENT

[allfortheclan]

You're being rude today, Tenka.

[deontology]

[... No, they agreed to talk about things. That means he owes Tenka honesty too, just as Tenka owes it to him.

Viciously, he tears open the sauce packet, but his tone is even.]

...The Fuuma ninja and I work in the same place.

[sunshrouded]

[TENKA NEVER CARES ABOUT PROPRIETY once he actually gets to know somebody anyway. and he's at the point with Kaoru that he doesn't think eating pineapple out of her fingers is a big deal..... and the fact that he gets a laugh out of it just makes him smile in return too. dope.

but then he's curiously munching on the pineapple and humming at the taste. then he does have the decency to swallow before he answers]

S'good!! Really, really sweet - more than I'm used to!

[but he doesn't seem to be all that averse to them, based on how he's looking at some more slices. is there a small one that he could swipe....]

[sunshrouded]

[Tenka frowns in response to that, looking at Shirasu. He figured as much considering that Sousei seemed to be afflicted by the same thing, but to think that luck would be so bad that Shirasu would have the same issue....]

It was pretty bad, you're right. [which is kind of a huge understatement but also-] Did you get into a scuffle or something?

[sunshrouded]

[Reincarnation? Tenka didn't really believe in that sort of thing but if it's really true in her world.... well, if the city was already in peril, he supposes he can understand. But at the same time, to think that the small girl in front of him had dealt with such gruesome things....]

.... Lily-chan, I understand.

But can Ten-nii ask you to do something? Can you do Ten-nii a favor?

[sunshrouded]

I'm being honest

[sunshrouded]

unlike SOME PEOPLE

[sunshrouded]

[ . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

and tenka kind of none too gently puts the mayonnaise jar in front of sousei]

Who thought that would be a good idea?!

text

[allfortheclan]

I haven't said anything untrue.

text

[allfortheclan]

I would just rather not have company tonight.

[deontology]

[Shut up, Tenka... and what are they putting mayonnaise on in this spread, why do you encourage this food debauchery...

Regardless, Sousei just sighs, finishing piling on the ingredients onto the pizza and now eyeing that mayo thoughtfully. (god no).]

I was aware of it, but we had not properly crossed paths until now.
