[ Elda Marker has a pointed concern here while he's working on his homework, having just gotten back from some shopping for their dinner tonight. She realized a bit too late that if he didn't she's missed the first thirty minutes!! ]
[ toushiro's sitting in front of the tv on the couch, one of the house cats napping beside him. he doesn't look back at her, simply waving a hand as if to say "yeah, yeah". ]
[ Elda is a mediocre cook and always has been. That said, she sort of bought the components of a nice summer salad and a fish main dish so it's not like it's a complicated process. ... Well, okay, the fish could be, but she's had years of practice and a lot of videos about it. ]
And if you finished all your work, you may as well relax!
[ Oh, three of the cats are in the kitchen! She'll laugh and pick the smallest of them up to go on the counter. Hah, take that, small one. ]
yeah yeah, i know, kiddo. serious question: do you know how to cut loose and have fun? i'm not talking about stuff that'll get you into trouble or anything. normal kid stuff.
yeah, it's a ton of fun when you've got zero crap to do.
[ he's going to be a rebel and stand up, walk over to the groceries and help her unpack everything. at least he can do this, right? it's not that hard but it'll make her life a little easier. toushiro cares a lot about elda even if he doesn't always show it; she can see it through little gestures like these, though. ]
Yes! It should be a nice, sweet, salad for the summer! Oooh, and then a simple fix! I picked up some perch as well. I suppose it's a little early, but you don't mind, do you?
