[something crashes in his room.

and then he can hear a clunk. and the roll of wheels.

and then]

Yah?

[swordsinternally]

[ That.... certainly is a sound, isn't it? ]

It's me, Emiya. I just wanted to ask something real quick.

[foo_bar]

[he opens the door-- and his hair is a little mussed.]

Okay. Yes. Come in.

[swordsinternally]

[ That... certainly is a thing. Of course, Shirou does enter, looking a little awkward himself. ]

It's probably not too important, but I was wondering if it would be possible to borrow the kitchen at some point. It's not that I don't like the food here, it's just... rather... I need to keep my cooking skills sharp so that Sakura doesn't surpass me while I'm gone.

[foo_bar]

[he's clumsy sometimes.]

Sakura? Cooking?

Like, cookie in a mug style cooking?

[swordsinternally]

Sakura's the name of my kouhai-- well, she's a friend of mine, anyway. But no... not cookie in a mug style cooking. Like actual cooking. I'm a chef. I've made things like chicken karaage and hot pot, actually. Other things, too. If you'd like, if I'm able to access the kitchen, I can always cook something up for you real quick. I don't mind.

[foo_bar]

... Ohhh, that is tempting. It's been so long since I've had real food...

[swordsinternally]

Well...

[ Maybe he can turn the odds towards his favor, here. ] When it comes to cooking real food, I can say confidently that I'm good at it. Besides, having actual good and healthy food will probably help make for a good teaching environment.

[foo_bar]

MMMMmmm....... Okay.

But I want a sample.

[swordsinternally]

I was planning to have you and Megumi-san have some to begin with.

[...] Also, can I ask another question? It's fine if you can't answer it, though.

[foo_bar]

I was a little resentful of this job at first, but this might make up for it, just slightly.

What did you want to know?

[swordsinternally]

Well, at least good food will definitely help. It makes people come together, after all.

Ah, well... I was wondering if you knew what happened to my abilities. Since I tried using my magic but it didn't work.

[foo_bar]

Ah, right.

There is a suppression device on campus, since there's a legitimate concern that powers might not be the best thing to have right... now...

[swordsinternally]

I see. Is there a reason for that? Just curious.

[foo_bar]

Yeah, it has an official name. I just don't know what it is. I call it the hijacking.

[swordsinternally]

The... hijacking, huh. I see. I guess that would make sense to not have abilities if that word implies what I think it means. Thanks.

[ And now off of the serious topic; ] By the way, what kind of food do you like? If I'm going to be cooking, I want to make sure that it's something enjoyable. Oh, and if you have any allergies or whatever, too.

[foo_bar]

You would probably be correct.

[he smiles a bit.] Mm... You're Japanese, right?

How about oyakodon?

[swordsinternally]

Yeah, I am. But oyakodon, huh... that's a relatively easy donburi to make. I'll do it.

[foo_bar]

Good, because it's one of my favorite meals. Thanks Shirou.

[swordsinternally]

No problem. I enjoy cooking so being able to feed everyone to work their hardest is just something that I'd like to do for everyone.

[foo_bar]

Alright, alright. As long as I reap the benefits... right.

[he seems appeased.]

I'll send an email to the staff.

[swordsinternally]

Well, that certainly isn't a bad thing. It'll be a pleasure cooking for you and the others.
