#justdatingthings ![]() Part of the charm of being in a relationship isn't found in the amor, the grand shows and trapping. Contentment can just as easily come from the little things - or even the silly things - about being close to someone. At first, you're either naturally standoffish or wary or you're intent on impressing them and not looking like a total nerd. That's how the "getting to know you" process works, unfortunately. As you get more serious...you may actually get less so? Maybe you'll let them see your dorky humor, your weird laugh, your bizarre hobbies, your bed head. It could end up that the two of you have more fun playing video games together, Netflixing and chilling, baking cookies, or sword fighting (if you're in the olden days, where Netflix and cookies are scarce). And, really, you can't help that their clothes are so comfortable on you. It's a good thing you guys are together. You really did gain a best bud.

...sorry, but looking like a total nerd is unavoidable.
Whenever he does appear with food on hand, it's the darnest, most deceptively simple put-together things... like an elegant handful of breakfast radishes with their stems trimmed appropriately for finger-food, dipped in soft sweetcream butter and flecked liberally with sea salt. He brings these alongside the first of spring's fiddlehead ferns, quick-pickled and tangy, coiled in tight little green spirals and laid out in a shallow wooden bowl with some small, crispy pressed biscuits, made of oat flour and a multitude of seeds.
Nothing scary, like some of his other slimy fermented bean pastes and more pungent food 'projects'.
It's as if he's out to prove, particularly with someone he's hard at work to impress, that he's quite matured beyond sea salt ice cream sticks. Trouble is, it's never quite enough to be satisfying- a teasing pleaser, a sampling of just a few daily curiousities he's rooted around for in the vegetable beds....as if he hadn't fussed around for longer than intended for his entire work-break before even coming to find her, making everything just so.
But today he also shows up at her favorite doodling spot with another little surprise, which he's probably-overpaid some moogles to aquire from offworld- a baking tin. Twelve shallow shell-shaped depressions.
"For Madeleines." He explains, setting it down with the snack bowl beside Namine's set of pastels. "You know, uh... like in Proust?" Ienzo beams, as if that's sufficent enough of a logic map for anyone to follow, before clarifying- "(For memories.)" A wink. The apprentice clasps his hands behind his back, seeming to preen just a little bit for the keeness of his gift-
"Or if you're a wary of tackling sponge cakes, er..." Don't buy any of that humble-bashful shrugging for a moment, Namine, that's the biggest illusion of them all. "I figured you could always use them to mix paints?"
It is perfect and very Ienzo and I love it. <3

But sometimes -- once in a while, maybe only twice in the whole time Ritsuka's been part of the staff -- there's a power surge of some sort. It usually only takes a minute for the backup generators to kick in when that happens, but today, there appears to be some technically difficulties. The most vital systems have kicked back on, at least, so no one's going to freeze to death... but it's definitely going to be colder than usual for a while.
And so Ritsuka is headed back to her own room, rubbing at her arms to try and get some extra warmth into them, grumbling a little under her breath. ]
I can understand why the control room is important, but why the popcorn maker, jeeze...
