[closed] it's not a nutritional dinner
Who: Chikusa, Ken, and all the people invited to Hakkai's temple
When: October 12
Where: Li Tieugai's temple in the Central District
What: Having recently lost their other god, Ken is sad by yet another loss.... so Chikusa is fixing this with his dog's favorite things: people he likes and copious amounts of meat.
Unless people actually ask, Chikusa.... doesn't exactly tell what time the dinner is actually going to be at. At least he'll probably tell them that Hakkai's temple moved? One would hope.
The temple of Iron Crutch Li doesn't really seem all that impressive upon approaching it, despite being in the Central District. The walled gardens are certainly large and lovely enough, if a little wild, but the building itself is rather plain at its two stories. There's a small sign attached to the front door that simply says 'come in'. Chikusa isn't going to bother answering the door for visitors. It's not like Hakkai locks that thing anyway.
The inside of the temple is about as sparsely decorated as its outside, but, today, the overwhelming smell wafting from the kitchen has overtaken any medicinal smells that might normally be about. It adds a certain warmth to the room.
Until dinner will be served a little later into the night, people are free to do whatever- hang about the gardens, go bother Chikusa in the kitchen, or otherwise find the other residents of the temple. Chikusa won't care to stop anyone, although Hakkai might.
As for dinner? Chikusa is serving so much meat: rabbit stew with olives and rosemary, swordfish, curried chicken, veal marsala, and a more traditional spaghetti served with meatballs. Fortunately, at least there's garlic bread and stuffed mushrooms, so there's something that isn't meat.... And for dessert? Zeppole, cannoli, and an apple ciambella with almond cream.

[Chikusa, why do you expect Ken, of all people, to put this together.]
no subject
[But, eventually, and thankfully blunt- ]
It's for you.
no subject
How come? [Yes, he's sad, and yes, Chikusa cares about him and takes care of him, but Ken still finds it a little weird to be pampered so much in particular when he feels it was a mutual loss for them. He may have been far closer to Roy than Chikusa, but Chikusa is loyal and hates being left behind too...]
no subject
[Not enough energy, there. And Ken would miss the meaning behind that, too, he thinks.]
[The words come soon, slow.]
When we lost... Axel-sama... [And he's still not sure if the honorific feels strange on his tongue now or not.] ...I looked away for only a while... and then you were blighted so much.
[His nails scrape against Ken's jacket and his eyelids finally surrender again, sliding shut.]
....You were hurt so much... and I hadn't noticed...
...The only one who matters is you. Because... we're meant to be with each other no matter what. No one else matters as much, so....
[This isn't making as much sense as he wanted it to. Chikusa slips into silence, sighing.]
no subject
But...it definitely wasn't our fault this time, right? We were with Roy-sama a lot. We did what he asked us, and he took care of us, and...that's how it was supposed to be, right? Everything was fine, but then...he vanished anyway. So there's no reason for me to get blighted...
no subject
[It wasn't really either of their faults when Axel disappeared, either. That much was burned into their bones and smashed into their skulls, courtesy of their ablutions. Still...]
...I can't... really do much... besides this. So...
no subject
no subject
[...Maybe this will make them weak. Chikusa can't particularly tell. That was part of why they'd shied away from it in the past, he thinks. But so long as Ken isn't hurting...]
[His fingers dig in a little more, and he doesn't say anything else.]
