Rebel 7 [Voice/Action]

[not_meatbuns]

So the battle is starting this weekend, isn't it? [Why is it half the people she knows are drafted?] ...Everyone, please, be careful.

Hopefully this rain will let up...

----

[Litchi is cooking today. A lot. It's part stress relief, part Welcome Home Tao. She's got far too much pent up negative energy and feels the need to do something with it -- guilt trips built up from Dragobete, worry over everyone heading off to war, anger towards the Malnosso... it all has built up into a need to cook up an obscene amount of food. Not to mention Tao's arrival; with the Kaka girl around again, Litchi has no doubt that every bit of the food she makes will end up eaten.

But even with Tao, there's still far more than necessary. Anyone in or around Community Building 2 is free to come by and find out what's cookin'. There's a ridiculous amount of Chinese food here and it needs eating. ♥]

[Soft laugh.] That wasn't what I meant... I was going to say I'm amazed she and you don't burn yourselves more often.

[Action]

[hageshii]

Oh. [He glances down at his hands.] Who says I don't? I'm just used to it by now.

[Action]

[not_meatbuns]

Mr. Goroh... [Good lord, what is she going to do with you people.] That really isn't what I wanted to hear.

I have burn gel under the sink if you need it.

[Action]

[hageshii]

Nah, I'm fine. [He holds the bun between his teeth so she can see his hand. All nice and calloused.]

[Action]

[not_meatbuns]

[This face.]

You should really take better care of yourself!

[Action]

[hageshii]

Hey, Litchi, I plan to live to the ripe old age of a hundred and thirty. I got most of my life still ahead of me.

[Action]

[not_meatbuns]

If you take care of yourself. Honestly, Mr. Goroh, you shouldn't be so reckless...

[Action]

[hageshii]

If I get back home to modern medicine!

[Action]

[not_meatbuns]

[She shakes her head, trying to stop the rising Indignant Doctor Rage. He has to be doing this on purpose to rile her up.]

Hopefully it's only a matter of time for that...

[Action]

[hageshii]

[Not really! He just has that much faith in 26th century medicine, that's all.]

Yeah. Maybe. [Now that he doesn't have any faith in.] But maybe you're right. Until I do get home, maybe I should take better care of myself. The medicine around her is pretty old fashioned.

[Action]

[not_meatbuns]

Just a few habit changes would keep you much healthier.

[Why yes, that was a vague hint at "stop smoking." Litchi acts nonchalant about it, though, and goes back to kneading her dough.]

[Action]

[hageshii]

Oh yeah? And what habits would those be? [Because he doesn't do vague.]

[Action]

[not_meatbuns]

[She almost sounds like she's commenting on the weather, she's so off-handed.]

Well... Handling scalding hot food with your bare hands isn't helping you any. And don't get me started on the smoking.

[Action]

[hageshii]

[He crosses his arms, clearly not liking the sound of that.] I only started smoking because of this hellhole.

[Action]

[not_meatbuns]

Be that as it may, I can't say it's a habit I support at all.

[Knead, knead.] Just my opinion, Mr. Goroh. No need to look like that.

[Action]

[hageshii]

Maybe I should get a second opinion. [But then, the only other doctor he knows is Bones. Hm.] I suppose I should stop drinking too, eh?

[Action]

[not_meatbuns]

[She laughs lightly.] It's a terrible habit, but I have to admit, it's one I have trouble breaking as well. I can hardly hold that one against you.

[Action]

[hageshii]

I think it's a common trait for doctors. Probably cuz us patient folks are so bad at listening.

[Action]

[not_meatbuns]

[Sigh.] I never seemed to have half the trouble in getting patients to listen back home.

It must be something about all this fresh air here.

[Action]

[hageshii]

Maybe you just need to whack a few people with that stick of yours.

[Action]

[not_meatbuns]

That really wouldn't help at all.

[Action]

[hageshii]

It might make you feel better. [Now that it's plenty cool, he'll eat that steamed bun.]

[Action]

[not_meatbuns]

[She shakes her head again, looking like she's trying not to laugh.]

It does get tempting sometimes, I have to admit.

[Action]

[hageshii]

Like right about now, yeah? [He's reaching for another one of the still hot buns.]

[Action]

[not_meatbuns]

You're deliberately trying to push my buttons, aren't you?

[She slaps his hand away. It's for his own good, after all.] Let it cool first!
