Kaz owed Shiho a delicious home-cooked meal for two. Shiho owed Minato...well, a lot. She refused to tell anyone but Kaoru what it was, of course, but it's clear in the way her stance softened minutely around him that she believed she owed him that, at least.

So what better way for Shiho to enjoy this sudden influx of genuinely nice people than to invite them all over to her and Kaoru's apartment? The more, the merrier, right? It all starts out innocuous enough, with chips and chocolate and Mario Kart in the living room area while they all wait for food. Except Kaz was never told that the intimate dinner for two had long become a dinner party for friends, Shiho was using her psychometry to cheat while playing (because there's no way anyone can be that good), and a certain lolicon was never even formally invited.

Oh, and any game involving espers somehow always manages to devolve into all-out war. Wait. Is that someone hanging around outside the window?!

[Kaoru does stick her head into the kitchen. She's used to doing it when Minamoto cooked back home. Besides.The food smelled fantastic.]

Hey, do you need a taste tester?

[She asks, but there's a drawer that seems to be sliding open by itself and if no one stops it, a spoon will float out of it.]

[belfire]

[Kaoru chose her time to interrupt wisely - Kaz was currently in the middle of chopping vegetables, and while he would jealously guard his domain against intruders like any good chef, he thankfully had enough self-awareness to not chase the apartment owners with a cleaver because of the inevitable consequences.

So instead Kaoru - and her floating spoon - just got a dark look and an exaggerated 'chop' of his cutting knife neatly bisecting an unfortunate carrot. He can't physically chase her out, but he can try to be intimidating (with that cute baby face, highly unlikely)]

Hmph. You just want to dig in early. [Though. Wait. He set the knife down and turned round properly to consider Kaoru for a moment, frowning. A thought did occur to him just then: he never did ask Kaoru what she liked to eat, exactly...] Wait, actually - how much spice can you handle? I just realised I made something... you're alright with spicy stuff, yeah?

[queenofminiskirts]

{She laughed.]

Oh, no! You saw through my brilliant plan~.

[She gets chased out of the kitchen all the time...or, well. Minamotot tries to chase her out.

She's checking out the stuff available as her spoon hovers in the air.]

Hm? Oh, I don't mind spicy food. But even if I wasn't, I think you've made enough food that I'd still have enough to eat. But if you're taking requests... [She trails off meaningfully.]

[belfire]

[There were slim pickings at the moment in terms of test tasting - Kaz was firmly in the middle stages, and the only things closest to completion was a pot of stew and katsu curry. He's eyeing that spoon though, so if Kaoru wants to taste test those, she better be sneaky about it]

Well, I guess... I mean, I'm cooking for you and Mimi, so. [he turned back to the chopping board, picking up the knife and resuming his chopping] Request away. I mean, so long as you don't ask for anything extravagant. I'm good at cooking, but I'm not like, what do you call it? Gordon Blue Chefs? [No, that didn't sound right... there was something about the colour blue and top tier chefs though. Ergh, whatever.] Um, a pro, I mean.

[queenofminiskirts]

[Stew sounds good. The spoon will slooooooowly float in that direction.]

Hm. Let's see~. [Five years ago she would have named the most ridiculous thing she could think of. Now she has a bit more restraint.]

Maybe...tempura? [That's not difficult to make, right???? Nevermind that they don't have a deep frier]

[belfire]

Erm.

[Kaz was well aware that this kitchen came without a deep fryer and paused for a moment. He could try doing it in a skillet, maybe? To be honest, he only made tempura once and it had ended up... well, it was edible and okay, but it wasn't the best thing he made in the world. To do so on the spot...]

Well, if there's some canola oil kicking about, maybe I could? [He could just fill the skillet up with that and then heat it up. How hot did it have to be to get to frying temperatures? 300 degrees? Hotter? Geeze, how was he even going to judge that?] Unless, huh, maybe I could use my belfire to fry things. I can adjust the temperature on that, so...

[That's right. Why else would he have pyrokinesis but to abuse it for fry ups?]

Okay, yeah, I'll make it. Don't make any promises on how it'll turn out though. Never used belfire to cook things before.

[queenofminiskirts]

Oh, I've never seen anyone use their powers to cook food before!

[It seems like something Minamoto would say was too dangerous.]

Um. Which one's canola oil? [This girl has no idea, but she flicks her hand and one of the cupboards open. Inside there are a few different oils because Kaoru had no idea about the differences and, just to be safe bought a few. After all, Minamoto's kitchen came stocked with different types of oil so they must have their uses...right?

Also, while he is distracted she's dipping that spoon into the stew.]

[belfire]

[Kaz was a little uncertain on how this was going to turn out. His belfire was normally poisonous to living creatures, but if it was cooking food it should be fine. After all, when it inflicted a burn on a person, it continuously drained their life force to sustain the flame. On food though, well, there's no life force so, uh... it'll be fine, he was sure.

He made a mental note to taste test it himself, though. Just in case. Should be fine though. Hopefully]

Hm? Oh... [He moved over to the cupboard Kaoru had casually flicked open, successfully distracted from his vigil over the stew pots. Kaoru has a window of opportunity...!] It's, let's see... ah, this one.

[Quick, while his back's turned!]
