[ Anya, Anya... she tries to place the girl's face and is annoyed that she can't. Shooing off one of the cats with her foot, she continues to slice up the watermelon into cubes as she responds, ]

Ooooh, look at you! You're important enough to make sure you're there.

[ oh, come on mom, it's not--it's not that! ]

She's my friend. Of course she'd do something like that.

[ because anya's a social butterfly who likes to drag people out to have fun. that's just who she is. ]

Do you need me to cut anything?

A young man should still allow himself to be flattered! Well, as long as she's cute, anyway.

[ WAHAHAHA.

But ... hmmm. ]

Squeeze out some lime juice for me?

It's not a big deal.

[ anya is really pretty but so are other girls at school. elda pls. ]

Sure.

[ toushiro grabs one of the limes, cuts it in half and goes to squeeze some juice out inside of a small bowl. ]

We'll also ned mint and red onion, but I'll handle the onion.

[ A hum... Actually... ]

You'd tell me if it was a big deal, right?

Alright.

[ he'll go ahead and get the mint leaves, then. ]

Why are you asking?

Well you are getting older...

[ So... You know... ]

[ oh for crying out loud-- ]

I'm not interested in dating. You know that.

At your age sometimes things can happen even if you aren't planning on it! I just want to make sure you won't keep your dear mother out of the loop!

Fine. I'll tell you if something, for some reason, were to come up.

[ which is never happening. ]

Good!

[ Onion time!! ]

I wouldn't want you introducing me to someone as you're breaking up.

Whatever floats your boat.

[ again. relationship = not happening, but he'll just say it to satisfy her. ]

The lime juice and the mint leaves are ready.

Oh, good! It's just a matter of tossing, now.

[ Actually, she'll get a tiny bit of olive oil too. But with most of her chopping done she'll glide over for that...

oh, they also need to at least pan fry the perch. Or bake it... she didn't think that far. Mmm. ]

[ he sees her looking contemplatively at the perch. ]

What are you going to do about that?

A light pan fry!

[ She finally decides. That sounds best...!

That said, the onions actually need to marinate for a while before the tossing proper, so she puts them in and then sets it aside to turn to the issue of the fish. ]

Then if there's nothing else to prepare, I'll leave the rest to you.

No, nothing more I can't handle.

[ She smiles. ]

Thank you, Toushiro.

[ a curt nod. ]

...If I'm going to prom, I'll need a suit.

Oh, oh of course, we'll find something perfectly fitted to you! Actually, it's high time we found you a tailor... though it's short notice now, isn't it? Oooh, I'll have to think abut that...

[ She shakes her head, tutting a little. He does have some fine wear, just for parties they've gone too. But a nice, new prom suit? He definitely needs something more than a button up! ]

[ short notice

get it ]

Will a tailor be necessary?

It's a relationship you'll want for the future, so why not start it now?!

[ She shakes her head, grinning ] Or we can just use my favorite for now! Ah... unless it really is too short of notice... Prom's only in a few weeks, right? [ She nods ]

We'll pick you up something, then!

Picking up something would be easier.

[ less trouble, less expensive. no matter how much money they have, toushiro is still frugal. ]

Nothing flashy, please.

Well we'll go shopping together, of course! We need it to be at least fitted, and to suit your personality and preferences!

[ It's a date!! ]

...Does any of that really matter?

[ the fitted part, yes, but personality? well...maybe the non-flashy part... ]

Of course it does. You just said it did, silly.

[ She laughs, now frying the fish. ]
