So, with curse shenanigans in full swing, house-mingle away!]

I guess so...

[Rin doesn't protest the preening, as always, and merely looks back at the notepad and his scribbles, tapping the end of the pen on the paper rhythmically.]

I've run in to a few people here who don't really know how to cook and they wanna learn. I got a lotta interest when I asked on the network. And they always said Dad was such a great teacher and I wanna be like him...

'course that's exorcism and not cookin' but I guess the feeling is the same or somethin'... ?

[He smiles faintly, glancing up at Kid with his chin resting lightly on his upturned hand.]

I like makin' people happy with what I do and I hope others can pick up on that, y'know?

[symmetrophile]

[Rin's lineage aside, Kid knows precisely who he means when he mentions 'Dad', finds inquiring further a useless, even callous effort. On this subject -- of the respect they have for the ones responsible for their upbringing -- Kid finds something he can relate with Rin entirely. Like Rin, he respects and hopes to emulate his own father.]

I'm sure it's close enough that the specifics hardly matter. It's a splendid idea.

[Close enough to be similar, and we all know how fond of similarities Kid is.]

Although I would gladly offer to help, I'm afraid I'd only get in the way. [Besides, there are other, significant reasons to keep Kid away from the kitchen.] Perhaps I can help clean up after.

[keepsthefire]

[He wouldn't speak of any other father in that way, really, so it's no surprise that there isn't any clarification needed.]

Heh. That's true. You're right 'bout that...

[Twirling the pen in his fingers, he gave some thought to what Kid had offered.]

I'd like that, actually. Take a lotta weight off my shoulders to get things done. I think I might need some clean up in between things, too, durin' the later classes.

[symmetrophile]

Then it's settled! Consider me at your disposal.

[There's only one real reason for Kid to be so cheerful at the prospect, at least, that particular enthusiasm sparkling through the reaper's usual attempts at appearing dignified -- but they know about his whole fixation on order anyway.

He's been given permission to clean, enough said.]

[keepsthefire]

[Rin will just gently tuck this away in that growing list of "ways to make Kid happy", fully aware that his boyfriend is just a little... odd sometimes. But then, aren't they all?

Rin can't help but grin back at that suddenly infectious cheerfulness.]

Thanks, Kid...
