Yuuki Cross/Kuran

※ ═══ ♘ ═══ ※ ❝Ok, so, fresh ingredients, this is all we’re using.❞ The beef, some veggies, sweet potatoes, chicken stock, mirin,ginger, pepper, lemon,  salt. No more no less. He prepped the meat, cutting them into chunks. As long as they just followed the recipe…. All should be well.  ❝Can you cut the veggies?❞ He’s taking over. He can’t trust her not to screw this up.

— {˙ღƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒღ˙} —— "You can leave it to me!" She cuts the vegetables properly, just like Kaien taught her. Fingers curled so she can't accidentally cut them. The pieces might not be the exact same size like when Zero cuts them, but she thinks it'll good enough!

※ ═══ ♘ ═══ ※ He squints down at the pot of what should’ve been simple beef stew. As per heeding the instructions, there shouldn’t be room for error. At all. And yet, she defies even this. How? Fuck if he knows. ❝Why the hell are there fish bones in here?❞ Did she try to improvise last minute? Yeah, even he can’t save this shit.  

 ❝Start over, I’ll watch you this time.❞ He shuts off the stove and proceeds to toss the mess.  ❝You got this, just try again.❞ With some guidance, she can make the perfect beef stew. He’ll help her until she gets it right. 

— {˙ღƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒღ˙} —— "!!" Her valiant attempt was tossed out, just like that!? "M-maybe it would've tasted better than it looks!" she complains, huffing a bit as she side eyes him.

         ˙ It wouldn't. They both know this. There were things in there that shouldn't have been in there and most of it was raw, while other parts had been thoroughly burned. It's a miracle the kitchen has survived her occasional cooking attempt ( but the pot she made THAT in? That is history. Best for everyone's health a new one is purchased soon ).

She finally gave in. A single blood tablet. “I needed that for.. Cravings… I…” Violet was hiding something in her mind too. “I truly need this or it may be painful.”

— {˙ღƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒღ˙} —— The tablet is hard to distinguish on its own, and its only after taking the pill and holding it up to the dim moonlight to inspect it through squinting, focused eyes, that Yuuki recognizes it. Her russet eyes widen. A blood tablet? So that means- a, a night class member, right? Kaname-senpai's always telling her to stay away from them! ( as does Zero, but he uses VERY different words than Kaname-senpai's calmer ones, so she tends to tune him out whenever its about vampires ).

         ˙ She parts her lips, then closes them. It's weird this girl walking around with just the one pill. Doesn't Ichijou-san supply the entirety of the moon dorms with boxes of them, according to the headmaster...? Or someone in his family does, at least. Why is this one running around with just one pill, instead of simply taking it back at the dorms like most of them do? And is one even enough if the craving got PAINFUL? Though, maybe it IS. She doesn't know, no one tells her much about those things.

— {˙ღƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒღ˙} —— "I don't get it... even though I follow the recipe every time... what am I doing wrong?" Why is her stew always so different from when the headmaster makes it...!?

※ ═══ ♘ ═══ ※ ❝Outside, with Ri. She’s mad at me, thinks I called her an idiot.❞ HeLp.

※ ═══ ♘ ═══ ※ ❝Where’ve you been?❞ He needed her before!
