[ It sounds like a normal evening in the household; there’s sounds of dinner cooking, that much is made obvious from the sounds coming through the SFC. It doesn’t take too long before the SFC picks up the sound of a conversation, however … ]

Huh … you know, you’d make someone a good wife.

... I think my brother said that to me once.

Really? It’s kinda true!

[dryly] Oh ha ha.

You could be our wife! [ She pauses for a moment, before her voice comes onto the SFC again, a little louder this time. ]

HEY! SHING! I FOUND US A WIFE!

Hmm? [ There’s a shuffling sound before Shing’s voice is heard again. ] ... well, I agree he does have the cooking skills for it!

[something clatters against the oven noisily] What?! Shut up! Both of you! I’ll kick both your asses, I ain’t nobody’s wife goddamnit!

Awwww, I’d love to see you try, honey, but then dinner will burn! [ She sounds like she’s taunting him, but she’s really just playing around. ]

So mean, Rin... is this why your previous husband left you? [ Oh, boy, and now that he’s picked up on the teasing he’s joining right in on that... ]

[Heeee might be growling a bit] I should just let you two brats starve!

[ Kohaku’s laughing a little. ] We love you, Rin! Really! You’re just so easy to tease ~

We only tease because we care, Rin! Don’t be so angry? Please? [There’s more shuffling, and then the sound of footsteps.]

Hng--! Let go--! ... damnit, fine! You win! Leggo so it doesn’t burn!

[ And with that and a bit of laughing, the SFC switches off. Now would be a good time for more teasing/trolling/letting them know that they were heard! ]

( ooc: purple is Kohaku, blue is Rin and red is Shing. )

Er--...

I-... I ain't gonna stop hanging out with you just 'cause they're too lazy to cook for themselves, okay?

It's nice of you to look after them like that.

...It makes you sound more like their dad than their wife, though.

I'm way too young to be anyone's dad.

You're way too young to be anybody's wife either, yet here you are.

[He walked in to that one, didn't he?]

I ain't anyone's wife, either!

[Yeah. He basically did.

Thus his only reply for a few seconds is laughter.]

Okay--okay--I'm sorry, you're not anybody's wife or dad, you've just got the skills apparently.

[All the huffing over here, Maka. All of it.]

I grew up in a monastery with nothin' but guys. One of us had to learn how to cook.

I can see that. Have you thought about getting a job at a restaurant yet?

... I'm... not really that good at holdin' down a job...

...Back in your world, right? But this is Vatheon, you can never know 'til you try here.

I'unno... just sounds like a good way for me to get in to trouble again...

As long as you don't knock things over with your tail I think you'll be okay.

[quiet laugh]

That's... not really the problem but... alright, I'll try...

There you go! I think you'll do great, but if you need anything...

["You know where to find me"? No, in fact, he doesn't. And inviting people over isn't exactly a thing she wants to happen.]

You know where to reach me, right?

Yeah. I do.

[He feels like he's been saying this a lot lately, but it doesn't make it any less meaningful to him.]

Thanks, Maka.

[oh and...]

Err... sorry I got so irritated...

Ehh...I think I would have reacted the same way, honestly. Talking about being someone's wife and all that...we're way too young to be even joking about things like that, let alone considering it.

[16 and Someone's Waifu is not going to be the next hit TV series in Vatheon. Ever.]

I know... but they are just... joking. ... mostly.

[he sighs, and something clanks as he finishes whatever he was cooking before the weird interruption.]

I guess I do have some pretty weird skills for a guy...

...You do?

[SOUNDING GENUINELY BAFFLED.]

You mean the cooking? That's not weird, Soul and I took turns cooking dinner back at home...that's just what partners do. It's only practical.

[Rin's turn to sound baffled. She kept talking about Soul, but... partners?]

... you two were partners?

[That sound? That's the sound of Rin's very tiny hopes already getting crushed.]

[.....Siiiiigh, this always takes so long to explain.]

Soul's my best friend, he turns into a scythe which I use in battle and we live together.

You know, partners!

...

[WELL now he feels like an ass. Is there a good wall to bang his head against, Shing? 'cause he's gonna need it.]

Oh. Right. Yeah. Partners.

[all the awkward.]

Er... well... I guess it's not that weird...

Of course not! And you shouldn't have to feel like it's weird, I think being self-sufficient is something to be admired.

Admired... ? You really think so... ?

You're blushing, Rin! How cute!

Wh-- N-no I'm not!
