won't you take me

Who: The Li Tieguai clusterfuck
What: Well, we're out of a shitty haunted forest, who wants dinner?
When: November 16, evening
Where: Li Tieguai's Temple

Usually, when there's some big nonsense in Heaven, Chikusa can be found out cold or "away" in his own head for most of the following couple of days afterwards... but that apparently only counts for event which involve people. Spending an entire day trekking through a possessed forest filled with violent plant-life and cultists is manageable.... somehow.

No matter how exhausted or injured anyone in the temple is, food still has to be made, and Hakka is in no condition to make it. Thus, dinner is being arranged by the other cook in the house, and invitations have been sent out to the relevant people Chikusa thinks care- namely Nanako and Ayumu, along with anyone they seek to bring. That doesn't mean people checking in on the Li Tieguai temple can't just waltz right into the dinner as well....

There's a lot to do in the time leading up to dinner, after all, depending on when people show up (or, you know, realize there's smells coming from the kitchen). Bon, the resident enormous Tibetan Mastiff, demands attention in the form of bodily flinging himself at people. There's a goat in the garden, tied away from all the important medical herbs. At least four different nekomata wander in and out of the temple ground whenever they please, including Pookie, the most permanent resident, and never shut up.... Not to mention that a Kung-Fu movie has been put on the television for people to watch.

There's also a sign on all entrances to the kitchen that says: CHO HAKKAI IS NOT ALLOWED TO COOK. Presumably Chikusa put it up while making direct eye contact with him.

Either way, mess around until dinner, have dinner, crash in the living room where another kung-fu movie has been put on again... Have fun.

Oh, and before it can be forgotten.... The dinner menu for the night is fritto misto, meaty Amatriciana sauce with bucatini noodles, and all the garlic bread in the world apparently. For dessert? Cannoli again. That... might be all he knows how to make on the dessert front.

Ken studies Chikusa closely. He can tell that there's something other than wholehearted agreement happening here, but Chikusa is agreeing sort of, so...it's not a rejection, either.

But Ken feels his point needs to be underlined a little. So he shifts, sitting up and nuzzling his nose against Chikusa's neck. "You're a good shinki, byon," he murmurs. "Axel-sama would still think so, too. I didn't know him that well, but...when he was here, he seemed even nicer than Hakkai-sama. And Hakkai-sama wouldn't think you're a bad shinki for this, so...Axel-sama definitely wouldn't."

"Yeah." Ken settles himself comfortably against Chikusa, until they're thoroughly tangled together. It's not quite as comfortable as their blanket pile, but it's close.

He'll sit with Chikusa for as long as his partner wants. Or until he gets hungry. Whichever comes first.
