Silver ice storm (Ami thread, Lime warning)

[Liddo-kun]

Before fully drifting off to the land of slumber, Haruka extracts her payment by stealing a quick kiss from the sleepy Viluy before shifting slightly beneath her and nodding off as well.

Snow, snow, snow.

Snowflakes, snowfall, snowstorms, snowwinds, snowshoes. It's fucking snowing, as you noticed quite aptly yesterday. Yet, as if yesterday's performance was merely a warm up, today's hyper blizzard is a parade of the white stuff. When you stumbled back to the guest room around midnight, you vaguely recall seeing it coming down, the street lights showing a near blanket of frosty coverings.

When you stir in the guest room - nice enough, futon, a dresser, and  a small window that is rather iced and snowed over - , Haruka stretched out. It feels good to have rested as so. You feel so much better, though still not near your normal level of get up and go get 'em-ness. You don't know what time it is, and if it's daytime, so little sunlight is making it through the stormclouds that it's moot.

That, and you're hungry, bathroom bound, and just generally ready to put the last embers of yesterday's ordeal behind you.

[Liddo-kun]

Haruka's eyes flutter open then she turns her head this way and that, confused at first before she remembers where she is.  Sitting up now, she works some of the kinks out of her body as she studies the gloomy view beyond the window.

What a depressing sight to wake up to... she notes with a shake of her head.

A drawn out yawn, groan and stumbles sees Haruka off to the restroom to answer the needs of her body.  Staring at her reflection earns a disgusted grimace as a night of rest STILL hasn't brought her back fully.

I'm going to have to remember this, Haruka told herself.  Might have to limit myself better next time.

A handful of water applied to her face snaps the last vestiges of sleep from her system.  She runs her still water soaked hands through her scalp that smoothes over the majority of the hairs raised in rebellion, save the most stubborn - who earn a grumble or three from her in annoyance.

Okay.  Let's get it together or we're just going to worry Viluy, Ten'oh, she told herself, masking over her weariness with her usual blend of cheer.  Better.

Exiting the room, she heads for the dining area to forage for some food stuff to sate the hunger that gnawed away at her stomach.

[Anastasia]

It's a nice little kitchen that opens into a low tabled dining room. Very Japanese style, save for the extra space in the kitchen to avoid crampiness. Viluy is at the oven burner, cooking something in the pan. Smells like stirfry...in the morning?

Ew.

[Liddo-kun]

The sight of Viluy cooking is an interesting sight combined with what the aroma she catches in the air is too much for her curiosity as she walks behind the girl.  "Yui Bidou, homemaker," Haruka quips, "so what's on the menu, missus?" she asks, taking advantage of her height to peek over the smaller girl's shoulder.

[Anastasia]

Smiling as you approach, Viluy shakes and stirs the load of vegetables with one hand - looks good, too - and reaches out to you with the other. "A vegetable stirfry for lunch," she nods, "Something nice and warm for the weather out there."

[Liddo-kun]

It felt a bit early to be endulging in vegetable stirfry, what with just waking up and all, but then it could've been a serving of the dreaded fermented soy beans so it wasn't all THAT bad.

"Something nice and warm?" Haruka echoes questioningly before an amused look crosses her feature.  She captures Viluy's extended hand in her own before the other snakes around her culinary victim.  "I guess I'm just going to have to deal with a double helping then," Haruka whispers in her ear, delighting in the reaction the girl gives her.

[Anastasia]

"Ah," Viluy blushes, trying to hold the pan steady in the heat. "Could this wait a few...I'd really not like to risk a fire," she replies, not unkindly. Taking a moment to steady the pan and toss the vegetables again, "Want me to make you some of this for lunch?"

[Liddo-kun]

Haruka grins and does as asked, freeing Viluy to her duties.  "But it looks like you've got your own little fire going already," she comments, trailing a finger across her enflamed cheeks at that.

Chuckling at the now flustered state she'd put her in, Haruka takes a seat at the table.  "Sure.  I don't mind trying a sample of Vivi-chan's masterful cooking skills."

[Anastasia]

Viluy takes a moment to let her breathing return to normal, then smirks, unseen to Haruka. "You really shouldn't mess with the cook when she's doing her job," she remarks to the other girl, tossing the stirfry one last time.

"Unless you want an surprise in your lunch."

[Liddo-kun]

"It might be worth braving the Mystery Meat if I can get you to blush like that for me again," Haruka replies mirthfully, running a hungry gaze over the dish before her - and to the food as well.

This was doing more wonders than a night of rest, she thought.

[Anastasia]

Getting a plate and setting it in front of Haruka, the blonde soon finds herself with a lunch right in front of her. "Go ahead and eat," she smiles at Haruka's antics. "I need to make a phone call, anyway."

[Liddo-kun]

With a nod to the chef as she aways to make her call, she gives the plate a once over before trying some.

[Anastasia]

It's a basic vegetable stirfry. Carrots, snap peats, peppers, onions, some seasonings, and so forth. Looks and smells edible.

Tastewise? Not bad at all, actually. Not restaurant quality, but you won't die from consuming it. Looks like Usagi is still the only Senshi with cooking as an offensive weapon...

[Liddo-kun]

Haruka continues nibbling on the food, while idly wondering who Viluy could be calling.
