[ death aside, bitches still gotta eat. kara enters the kitchen to find hikage already there, and gives him a tiny nod of acknowledgment before going straight for the cooking utensils and ingredients to start making tsukemen, sword still at his waist. strange fashion choice for cooking, maybe?
but he's got a lot of those this week! say, for instance, the swarm of bees that are following him everywhere. ]
[ Hikage returns the stoic nod and doesn't really pay him a second thought - he's busy making some kind of vegetable stew, and it needs his attention more than Kara does.
A swarm of bees, though? That might trump his stew. At first, he only notices a few of them - but once the main body of the swarm comes in, it's hard not to panic a little. ]
What do you mean, "what is it?" You let a swarm of bees in here!!
[ is he afraid of bugs? not really. however, he's not stupid, and he does not really want to tangle with an angry mass of them. He's pressed himself back into the countertop, looking for an escape route. ]
[ he holds out a hand, watching as a couple immediately land and meander over his palm. they don't get anyway near the dishes he's pulled out, so he nods. ]
[ kara still doesn't know hikage that well? but that's fine, because he'll just offer him a nod in greeting and carry on with what he's doing... they're probably in the kitchen where kara can make udon. it's cold!! ]
[ sweet jesus he's been living on C*stco cafeteria pizza and frozen vegetables. His pride keeps him from asking for anything - he was just here to get a drink - but when he's offered it, he's not above accepting. ]
I could use actual food.
[ walking over to get a bowl. Hikage looks up at Ookurikara, briefly - they'd only actually interacted once, but he's seen what Kuri's been doing these past few weeks nonetheless. ]
... I saw you stand up against the killers a few days ago. Seeing at least one person who didn't accept their annoying begging was refreshing.
[ he stirs the udon's soup a few more times, and stands aside to let hikage make his bowl. ]
...I didn't speak up to start a fight. [ he thinks people have been assuming that lately, but that's... not it. ] I just wanted to move on and finish it.
[ though now that they're here, he's. not sure what to make of it? hm. ]
[ he's excited for udon, even if it doesn't show on his face! piling it high with veggies and pointedly avoiding the mushrooms like his life depends on it. ]
week 1, friday.

BEES???

They only want to hover around me. They won't sting.
no subject
[ why is that happening. ultimately, he doesn't feel that comforted by the information they aren't going to hurt him. ]
Don't tell me that's someone's power.

They're going to get in the food like this.
no subject
[ he does not specify how
but they seem to be behaving ]
no subject
... How? They're bees.
[ skeptical. he's inching back towards his stew now and hoping the bees don't come close to him. ]
no subject
instead he just looks at the bees, and - ]
Stay out of the food.
[
okay ]
no subject
[ that's even more shocking apparently. normally, Hikage would call bullshit, but at this point, sure, why not. Bee-controlling powers. ]
no subject
They seem to like me, so. Maybe.
[ he
doesn't know
actually ]
no subject
[ was he inching back towards his food and the bees? just kidding, he's backing away again, and pointing towards the exit. ]
Get out. I don't want bugs in my food.

Then I don't think anyone's going to stop you, except those that were already protecting them in the first place.

... This was all so pointless. All of this for pasta.
