[le_mat]

Of course I am.

[policedefective]

Now I'm going to be paranoid at everything you feed me.

[A worthy 'punishment'.]

I might just have to eat out more.

[le_mat]

I would be more creative than that. But I take my craft seriously, you know.

[policedefective]

Well, the results speak for thenselves.

[Praise, at this hour? It must be the leftover booze.]

[le_mat]

[And... that makes him smile with earnest pleasure before turning back to the pot. It's boiling now, so he sets to work adding the stock]

I love Boss' curry, but I'll admit I missed real breakfast foods sometimes.

[policedefective]

Why did he make you eat curry in the morning as well?

...I mostly had apples or something at the nearby 777 if I had time. Balancing all my activities didn't give me much time. It's partly why I ended up running a food blog. It gave me an excuse to sit down.

[le_mat]

He was already making it for the shop, so it was just easier to feed it to me. It's not ALL I ever had to eat, but it was the vast majority.

[He glances at Akechi over his shoudler for a moment, looking up and down]

... you know, I'm surprised you managed to keep decent shape with a diet like that.

[policedefective]

[Why is the comment more pleasant to hear this morning?]

The metaverse was a good workout.

[He only had a bike.]

That and rock climbing.

[le_mat]

But you can't gain muscle without protein.

[Says the part-time gym rat]

[policedefective]

I had a few drinks...

[He was lanky and he knew it.]

Just nothing at the gym.

[le_mat]

[He shrugs]

Fair enough. I can't judge, I mostly just used the ceiling beam in the attic.

[policedefective]

[He laughs and...owe his head.]

I'd ask if you were joking but somehow I feel that it's so outrageous it must be truth.

So you had a protien shake and just put on a workout outfit?

[He needs the deets, it's not like Akira or Amamiya shared many life details with him.]

[le_mat]

If I was working out at home? Just sweatpants, usually.

[He's being completely serious.]

[policedefective]

Ahhh.

[The laughter subsides quickly. For some reason. He adjusts his standing position and finally sits down.]

It's starting to smell good.

[World's least subtle topic change.]

[le_mat]

[He blinks owlishly at that, then sloooowly smiles before turning back to the food]

Yep, almost done. I'll get the rice going.

[The rice cooker is ancient compared to what they would have back in Tokyo. But it works... well enough]

I've been slacking on my core, honestly. With these legs I can't do the hanging sit-ups anymore.

[policedefective]

I've been running with Satanoka in the mornings...perhaps you might enjoy it too.

[He taps his claws on the table.]

There must be some gyms around here. My schedule is much less loaded than back home.

[le_mat]

I might take you up on that. I mean, we're already stronger than any humans, but it's a good habit to stay with.

[He grabs a spoon and ladles up some of the soup to taste]

[policedefective]

We could try lifting weights. For the fun of it. It could be a good way to test our limits.

[le_mat]

[He sips, hums happily, and nods. Yep. Good]

Wonder if I could, I don't know, pick up a car or something.

true story instead of weights had him say lift cars lol

[policedefective]

I've thought about it...it depends on the car's weight and what we could manage to life.

[He's never bothered yet.]

I've heard that Minotaurs are the strongest, but it doesn't hurt to try. Thinking of it, that could be a good monster for you.

[le_mat]

What, and hear you make cow jokes 24/7? No thanks.

[policedefective]

I don't always horse around, you know.

I might have briefly thought about it for myself, based on the known traits. Did you know you become skilled with instruments?

[le_mat]

[He narrows his eyes in a 'really?' expression at that comment]

...huh, really? Is that a mythological thing I don't know about?

[policedefective]

If I were to wager a guess, maybe it has to do with music soothing the savage beast.

In this case the savage beast is the musician. [He has no idea.]

But I think my point yesterday still stands...for now, I'm quite fond of being a goblin.

[His stomach growls, betraying him.]

Maybe I could as a spell to create food. But then it would mean we wouldn't have talks like this. That would be a shame.

[le_mat]

Food brings people together.

[A cheesy line, but he beleives it. That said the rice cooker clicks, and Akira moves over to start bringing down bowls. One each for rice, another each for soup]
