Yukio has posed:
Yukio has been craving a bit of a taste of home, but also didn't feel like working too hard, thus...rice cooker for the win! She's gotten herself some rice, the happy song played by the rice cooker announces it's done, and she goes about setting some umeboshi on the counter, as she prepares for the age old tradition of making onigiri! (rice balls to the uninitiated).

As she goes about the act of setting of prepping her very first one, setting a piece of umeboshi in a bit of rice and working on rolling it, she sings to herself something that sounds like Japanese rap while dancing about as if nobody's watching her.

Rogue has posed:
Rogue had been out on a run around the lake, and she's arriving back at the school now. She comes jogging up the stone stairs beside the patio outside of the kitchen, wearing a pair of black track pants, the stretchy kind, and a zip-up hoodie of black and white in hue. She bounds up the steps, her hair tied back behind her head, and a pair of sunglasses on, as she makes her way to the double french doors in to the kitchen. She pops one open, and steps inside to hear the lively tunes.

A grin comes across the Belle's lips as her hands go up to remove her shades from her eyes.

"Well heya, Sugah." she says over the music toward Yukio. "You got a meal brewin' there?" She asks, while stepping over to the table to pick up a bottle of water she'd left in here earlier before heading outside. She's soon taking a big swig from it.

Yukio has posed:
Yukio immediately stops singing along as she hears someone approaching, and cautiously looks over her shoulder, before turning to face Rogue. In her hand is the very first seaweed wrapped onigiri, made to perfection. "I am make rice ballu," she extends her creation invitingly, "want try? Is dericious." The offer is made with a beaming smile, shortly followed by a "I'm Yukio, if you do not remember."

Rogue has posed:
The Belle lowers her bottle of water down, and dabs at the side of her mouth with the back of her fingers before she just huffs out a light laugh at Yukio. "Yeah, I remember ya, Silly." She says, as she steps over toward where the other is. She eyes the food, before accepting the offered amount with her free hand. "Smells good." She says then, showing a light smile before she samples it with a testing bite.

Leaning against the counter's edge, she starts nodding her head as she swallos it down. "I like it." She tells her. "You a big fan a'cookin?" She has to ask then, not knowing how good Yukio's English is or isn't.

Yukio has posed:
Yukio flushes slightly, and strategically shifts her free hand to cover her mouth with the palm of her hand, stifling a giggle, as she lowers her head respectfully and murmurs, "I'm so sorry, I wasns't sure if you did...I'm easy to not notice."

Yukio does look quite excited Rogue was willing to try her creation, "Un, it's quite good...rice and pickled plum, dericious!" With the one already made givne, Yukio goes about preparing the next one for herself. Her English could use some work, but a student has been helping her with that, so she's been getting better. "Yes. I am cook." She agrees, almost getting the full meaning of what Rogue just said, "grandfather said...always eat simple, best for health. Healthy body, strong body!"

Rogue has posed:
Rogue continues to snack on the food, as she sets her water bottle down and reaches for a napkin from the wooden dispensor on the island counter's top. She watches Yukio as the other prepares another for herself, a small grin playing across Rogue's pink lips. She nods softly to her. "Well, you got a promising career as a Chef. Let me know if you ever need a silent investor for your future restaurant business..." She says, showing a bigger grin for the Japanese woman.

"What have ya been up to lately, Yukio?" She asks then. "You are a rare treat t'see around here. Makin' yourself hard t'find on a regular basis. Always happy when I get a chance to see your smilin' face though." She states with a sincerity to her voice, since the bubbly cheerful style of Yukio is quite nice.

Yukio has posed:
Yukio giggles a bit more openly as Rogue catches her off guard this time, "me? Chef? You think?" She clearly finds it amusing, but at the same time, the brilliant smile suggests the thought appealed or at least flattered her. "Regardless, I will do my best."

"I've been working with Logan, a little, improving my control...but," she slows to a pause, wondering how much to share, "I also practice my singing and dancing." And with that comes a bow, "thank you, I try to be a...make happy people." Her own onigiri ready, she hungrily nibbles at it, her face beaming at the familiar taste. "It really is good!"

Rogue has posed:
When Rogue finishes off that bit of food, she folds that napkin up and delivers it over to the waste bin beside the counter's edge. She flashes Yukio another grin as she steps back over to her water. "Well, it sounds like you're keepin' busy then. No wonder it's a rare sight ta see ya." She playfully tells the other. Her water is sipped from once more, and Rogue now moves toward the fridge on the far cabinets where she pops it open to root around inside.

With her back to the kitchen now, she speaks with her eyes inside the fridge.

"Ya got any Halloween plans?" She asks, glancing over her shoulder to make sure the girl is even still in the kitchen, and that she's not talking to herself. "Got a Costume picked out?" She asks with a smile before she pulls a cup of blueberries from the shelf she hid them on, and bumps the fridge door closed with her hip.

Yukio has posed:
With her snack enjoyed, Yukio goes about preparing some more onigiri for later on. Shaking her head at Rogue's question, "not yet...I was thinking about it though. So many things to be...it's great having a cosplay holiday, it's a great idea." Spying the blueberries Rogue just retrieved, she holds up a finger, and asks quietly, "can I have one please?"

Rogue has posed:
The question there at the end garners Rogue extending the cup toward Yukio as she steps over to the counter's edge again. "Take a handful." She tells her. "They're really good this time. Tart. I love the damn things." She says with a small grin.

"Well. I'm gonna head up ta the Mall in a bit, if you'd like ta tag along. Gonna see who else wants ta go browse some costumes in-person, rather than just messin' around online. It's way more fun ta hit up one'a those costume shops, see all the clothes in person before ya buy. That kinda experience is gettin' harder ta find these days." She says, as a 23 year old in 2023.

She pops a few of the blueberries herself, before smiling again. "You're welcome ta come along though, get a group's opinion on possible outfits." She further states as her eyes go down to the island countertop, where she digs her phone out of a pocket and lays it down in front of her. "In fact, I gotta start testin' people ta let them know ta meet me outside in the garage..."

Yukio has posed:
"Blueberry, very healthy," Yukio adds despite nobody asking, as she grabs a handful and murmurs a quiet thanks to Rogue. "I can come? Yes! Yes, I come!" Yukio didn't quite need much time to consider that one, as she goes about hurrying to put away all the things she used for her rice ball. "One minute," she asks of Rogue, before realizing it's a little ambitious, and corrects herself, "two, two minutes! America mall time!" She cheers at the unexpected good plans that popped up.
