OPEN and super-late

[tastesrainbows]

[ kanaya reluctantly pulled herself away from tank's party to make it back here. she made a promise, and she wasn't going to back away from it. so she was working fervently in the kitchen, working up a storm and trying to get everything cooked and ready.

at short times she'd feel confident enough to test her abilities at moving things, snatching the threads of various ingredients and reeling them in carefully so they don't make a mess. she'd dropped a knife in the wall while doing this earlier, but contented herself with the fact that no one saw her do it, and resolved to cover the mark until she was given opportunity to respackle it.

she really only ventured out of the kitchen to drop off finished dishes, but made sure she was always free to be interrupted when she did so ]

[tastesrainbows]

[ she giggles as terezi squirms in closer, trying to manage the gravy with one hand and her moirail with the other ]

Don't stick your fingers in it, now!

It will go on the table, to replace the supply there which has been exhausted already, and while we yet have a considerable collection of potatoes that require its accompaniment.

[ she pulls out the wooden stirring spoon, letting a small scoop of gravy collect in it, then brings it up by terezi's face ] Would you mind a taste? It would be the most expedient method by which to decide if the preparations are complete.

[seeingeyespit]

[terezi giggles too, but also favors kanaya with an open-mouthed grin.]

Ooh, Miss Maryam, ooh! I would love a taste of your gravy.

[and she sticks her tongue out, because goofily is the only way she knows to do this. lay it on her kanaya!]

[tastesrainbows]

[ kanaya giggles again as she turns to face terezi and moves the spoon to her lips, holding her steady with a hand on her cheek ]

Careful, we wouldn't want to spill.

[seeingeyespit]

[terezi resists another giggle to take a quick taste of the offered gravy with her tongue. of course, once she's properly partaken of it she doesn't hold back.]

Hehehe, it's not bad! Not that I expected anything different.

[in fact, it seems like she is much more interested in kanaya herself than she is the purportedly delicious gravy, considering the way she is now squirming around to try and wrap her arms around kanaya's shoulders.]

Does all this delicious flavor mean it's done?

[tastesrainbows]

[ kanaya just smiles with a little blush as she tries to find her way through this to toss the spoon in the sink ]

At least partly, but the temperature is also very important.

[seeingeyespit]

[terezi is not making navigating around her easy, that is for sure.]

I thought it was just fine!

[tastesrainbows]

Well, then that should allow me the opportunity for a break.

[ she turns off the stove and moves the pot off the heat, then drags the two of them over to grab a gravy boat to pour it in ]

[seeingeyespit]

[terezi giggles shamelessly as she's pulled along.]

Finally!

[tastesrainbows]

[ she empties the pot into the boat and takes it up, dragging terezi along out of the kitchen ]

Listen, there's a matter I feel I should disclose with you. But it's...well, it's difficult to admit, to myself as much as to another.

[seeingeyespit]

[terezi makes an attempt at acting a little more sober, settling herself so that she and kanaya are walking arm-in-arm and tempering those manic giggles down to her usual wide grin.]

What's up?

[tastesrainbows]

Well, it's...a complicated matter. One I should perhaps have consulted with you regarding sooner, but I've been...well, I've had no success in examining the matter myself.

[ oh but they're out among the other partygoers now, so she glances around to make sure no one's listening, then leans in close as her voice drops to a whisper ]

At...at what point do think a certain, um, inclination may have blossomed into a...a black infatuation?

[seeingeyespit]

[terezi leans in as well, resulting in a gentle bumping of faces. she puts on her best innocent voice as she whispers back:]

What do you mean?

[tastesrainbows]

[ she sets down the gravy boat on the table, the drags terezi off to a more isolated corner so they can talk. she only shoots a momentary glance to where redbird was standing earlier, but of course she wasn't there any longer ]

Well, just that, really. When do you know if your feelings are truly running black, rather than simply experiencing a passing fancy?

[seeingeyespit]

[wow terezi is not the best person to ask this advice of look who her black crush is but...]

You have to really evaluate your feelings! Do you actually hate this mystery person, or just their actions?

[tastesrainbows]

It's difficult to say, exactly. I find her every move infuriating, her every response, every decision, every little stupid smirk on her face. And yet I don't... [ ...see any reason she would deserve to be killed... ]

She isn't a completely reprehensible person, when objectively considered.
