[ Italy's at the beach! ]

Ve, ve, I got a boat! The man wanted a cold sand dollar. I got a potholder and gave him a cold one after finding way to many explosive hot ones. My hands are still cold from that cold sand dollar.

But that's okay. I have a boat~! Who wants to go fishing?

Sure~~ Help me get some firewood? [ or at least something flammable. ]

Sure. I think I can manage something . . .

[She thinks about it for a moment; and with a stretch, she starts to walk off.]

I'll be back.

Thanks~~!

[ Italy continues to rummage in his bag, pulling out some matches and pasta in Tupperware. ]

[There's a small forested area that Yukari wanders into, and while there aren't neat bundles of firewood like you'd see when you go camping, there's enough material for her to bring back.

It takes about ten minutes or so, but she comes back with a bunch of branches, sticks, all varying in size that will hopefully burn nicely.

There are also some dry leaves scattered on top, which she's holding down so they don't blow away.]

This should hopefully be enough.

[ since she'd left, he'd pulled out not only the food, but a bottle of wine and some paper plates. Wine was necessary for a good meal~

He'd also dug a small pit to hold the fire so it would be shielded from any potential wind. It was the beach, after all. ]

Si, si~! That'll be perfect!

[Yukari sees the pit immediately, and knows what to do-- so she dumps everything within after Italy's approval, brushing the dirt off her hands.

Then she glances over at the bottle he's pulled out.]

. . . Wine?

[Blinking. She hadn't really planned on drinking today.]

Si si! Wine is always good with a meal~~

[Another moment to process that, before she just chuckles a little nervously.]

Maybe. But I actually don't drink.

[Alcohol, that is.]

Ve, I'm not going to make you~~~

[ he smiles broadly. He's not a very forceful guy at all. ]

Good.

[. . . Well, that's that, then. She doesn't think he'd be able to force her anyway, even if he wanted to.]

Need anything else?

Nope, everything's here~

[ he starts playing with the firewood and eventually lighting a small fire to start cooking fishy. ]

[Excellent.

She can already smell it when it starts cooking, so she takes in the aroma with a small smile on her face, and watches his technique. Maybe she should be taking notes . . .]

[ he's quite careful as he sticks the fish on a stick to cook it. He also maneuvered the pasta near the fire to heat it up. ]

[Instead of taking notes, she opts to stir the pasta instead, when he starts to heat it up. Not that it's a terribly difficult thing to cook, but she figures it would be helpful anyway.

The meal's coming along nicely!]

[ Italy's happy for the help. Smiling he flips the fish. Gotta cook it evenly and all. ]

[Of course, of course.

After a while of stirring, she checks the pasta and eats a tiny piece to test it. It's soft, so she nods approvingly as she glances to Italy and the fish.]

It's ready. How's the fish?

Ve, ve, it's almost done! [ and smelling good, no doubt ]

[It really does. She'll wait patiently though, nodding to accept his answer; and in the meantime she'll drain off the water from the pasta and keep an eye on it while it cools.]

[ and it's done! ]

Ve, ve, here we go!

[Ooh!

She'll hold out the pasta so that he can put the fish in -- and do whatever else he needs to. Admittedly, she's not sure if he plans to add anymore sauces or what to finish out the dish.]

Here!

[ he does stuff to divvy out the fish and ready it for yummy fishy pasta. ]

There we go! Cheers! [ and he opens up the wine bottle. ]

Cheers.

[Yukari smiles, taking her share of the pasta while leaving the rest for him. She won't drink any of the wine, but the way he looks so happy opening the bottle is kind of contagious anyway.]

Thanks, Italy.

[ Italy digs in happily. Having a picnic sure is fun! ]
