2nd Goal

[whatpenguin]

Characters: Genda Koujirou and YOU!
Setting: Cafeteria
Format: Action please!;
Summary: FOOD.
FOOD.
Warnings: I'll add them in if there are any!

[After finding out the tower's been restocked, Genda's well past raided the fridge by now - he's cooked everything he knows how, prepared tons of homestyle meals, and now?
He's got it all spread out on a table and he is stuffing his face.
Genda's also made sure to avoid anything he deems inedible, too. Which means no poisonous foods, and definitely no vegetables, yuck.

You're free to the food too, of course! As it is, he's probably going to offer anyway.
... Not that he wouldn't be able to eat it all himself.]

Comments

[pengeen]

[Upon hearing Genda's words, his eyes widen a bit at the realization. He... really does put his feelings before everyone else's, doesn't he? His voice is a bit quiet, and his arms drop to his sides.] ...I'm sorry.

[He then moves himself out of Genda's embrace and offers Aphrodi a small smile.] No, I was the one who intruded, really.

I'm sorry you had to witness that in the first place.

[whatpenguin]

[Genda finally smiles again as well, and brings a hand up to place on Kidou's head.]

Maybe we should all do something new, to forget about all this. It kind of sounds like we could use a break.

And when I say "all", I mean you too, Aphrodi!

[errandwings]

[ Aphrodi only shakes his head at Kidou. He doesn't get why Kidou should be sorry -- he clearly had a lot on his mind.

He ends up stunned at the invitation and only manages a splutter and a shake of his head because it catches him off guard. ]

[pengeen]

[He chuckles lightly at Aphrodi's reaction before turning his attention to Genda.] I'll have to decline your offer, sorry.

I'm pretty drained after all of that, so I'm going to lay down for a little while. [And after a second of hesitation.]

If that's alright with you.

[whatpenguin]

... [That gets a chuckle.]

Yes, it's fine. I can think of something for me and Aphrodi to do, anyway.
Right, Aphrodi?

[Sorry bro - you're one of Genda's pals, now! YOU CANNOT ESCAPE.
RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.]

[errandwings]

Right.

[ He nods, but the bemused look doesn't go away. ]

I- I hope you rest well, then.

[pengeen]

Thanks. [He bows slightly in thanks to both of them and heads off, his smile turning into a bothered frown once he's on the next floor; Not that they can see it, though.]

[whatpenguin]

[Once Kidou's out of sight, Genda lets out a very weary sounding sigh before turning to Aphrodi, bowing his head a bit in apology.]

... Forgive me for that display; I don't normally get riled up that badly.
I guess we... dredged up feelings neither of us meant to.

We should put the penguins, back, though...

[... Even though the birds are nowhere to be found??]

... Or, I guess they beat us to the punch.

[errandwings]

It's okay. It sounded like both of you had things that you needed to say.

[ He smiles! It's all resolved now, so it's okay.

Aphrodi does look around to see where the penguins went, though. He put them down there... oh well. ]

Doesn't matter. Saves us a trip back.

[whatpenguin]

Right. ... They might not be young, but I guess there's a chance they have young of their own.

[... And he just realized it, too. Losing your parents...

Genda shakes his head, and gives Aphrodi a smile.]

Is there anything you want to do, Aphrodi? I've been on a few of the floors by now - I could probably show you all the best places if you'd like.

[errandwings]

Yeah... that's true.

[ He knows that it would hurt, losing parents, at the very least. Although he wouldn't miss his particularly, but they're still parents, right? ]

I think now, we should go wash up. [ He squeezes a little water from his sleeve with a frown. ]

Especially you.

[whatpenguin]

... I did say I was going to wash up after the Aquarium, didn't I?

[But mooooom -]

[errandwings]

Yep! And now I need a wash too, so it'll be easier.

[ NO BUTS. ]

[whatpenguin]

Wait - you're not suggesting we take one together, are you?

[Sure they're both boys and all, but still...]

1/2

[errandwings]

[ Duh, that's what he said. ]

Of cours--

[ Wait. ]

2/2 \o/

[errandwings]

[ He didn't mean-- OH NNNNNOOO NO NO

NOT LIKE THAT Good lord now Aphrodi is blushing as well. He shakes his head furiously. ]

No! There a- are stalls!

[whatpenguin]

W-well! It just sounded like... you know...!

[And his face is going redder than a tomato, whoops -]

[errandwings]

--!! I- I didn't mean to!

[ TOMATO COMPETITION. YOU'ER ON.

Granted the colour Aphrodi is going isn't bright, but it's still incredibly red. ]

[whatpenguin]

W-well... uh...

[Genda looks away then, rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment.]

... Let's just... forget this conversation and go wash up.

[errandwings]

Y- Yeah.

[ Aphrodi buries his face in his hands for a good minute.

Off to the bathrooms! Except. ]

...Which floor?

[whatpenguin]

... What do you mean "which floor"?
You don't know which floor the bathrooms are on?

[b-blink blink.]

[errandwings]

Well you are in the fourth floor, right?

I'm on the first one.

[ ....There are also multiple bathrooms on the floors, if he remembers correctly. ]

[whatpenguin]

... You can choose, then; it doesn't really bother me.

[Though, maybe he can get away with just getting wet if they choose different floors.......]

[errandwings]

We'll go to my floor then, since there's a few things I need to fetch.

[ Nope. Can't get away that easily. ]

Oh! Wait... You should have things to get too. How about we meet up there?

[whatpenguin]

Alright, alright...

[All he has is clothes to grab, though.]
