[It's the first week of cooking lessons with Rin!

Feel free to mingle amongst yourself, bother Rin, or maybe... actually pay attention to the lessons? Either way, have fun!

And yes. There is free food.

Like Rin would have people to his house and not feed them, that's ridiculous...]

[jagermeister]

Why d'ya think I came here? I...

_{[He chews on his words for a few seconds. It's difficult, but he manages to be honest.]}

I already busted up a few things in my house tryin' to work this shit out. I never had to cook anythin' before since I don't gotta eat unless I feel like it.

<sub>[Not to mention he sort of just...

ate souls and cannibalized his own kind before Aizen tore off his mask. Technically he still eats the former too, but shhhh.]</sub>

[keepsthefire]

[well, honesty is good. It gives Rin an idea of where he might need to start.]

Uh...

[he addresses the other students first]

It's early but let's take a short break, okay?

[then, to Grimmjow]

C'mon, let's talk for a minute.

[jagermeister]

_{[Glancing over at the rest of the room with a frown. He's just hoping no one heard that. Grimmjow isn't sure if his pride could take another blow like that.]}

...We're talkin' now, aren't we?

[keepsthefire]

Figured you wanna talk away from everyone else.

[because really Rin knows an easily damaged pride when he sees it. He's the same way after all.]

[jagermeister]

...Thanks.

_{[He appreciates it more than he lets on.]}

...So, y'got your work cut out for you, huh?

[keepsthefire]

A little, yeah... no one ever said this was gonna be easy.

Anyway... I think you'll be okay for this first part, but we might wanna go over some other stuff at a time when the class isn't goin'.

[jagermeister]

Kid, unless y'want the oven to go through the window y'might wanna make it a priority. You've got a guy who spent his entire life eatin' whatever he could kill in a desert on your hands.

_{[watch him just drop by unannounced for lessons.]}

...What kind of stuff d'ya have new guys start out on, anyway?

[keepsthefire]

[Rin would actually be okay with that, so long as he wasn't at the club.]

I was just tryin' to get the borin' crap outta the way before we started on a lot of the actual food and recopies and shit.

But I'm okay gettin' you caught up on stuff that isn't normally caught in a desert.

[jagermeister]

_{[He better hope he doesn't find out about it, then. He'd probably drop by there too just to be a pest.]}

Ha! That's just 'bout damn near everything. The only thing that I remember back there were trees 'n my own kin.

[keepsthefire]

[Well he DOES work in a kitchen there]

... more than one lesson, then.

[jagermeister]

_{[And people thought housecats could be a pest in the kitchen...]}

Che. Fine with me, but ain't callin' you sensei.

By the way, what're you? Your ears don't look human.

[keepsthefire]

Meh, Minako is the only one who seems to wanna do that. I'm fine with just Rin.

[Rin has house cats. And a house Eeevee. He's got this shit handled, man.]

... eh? Oh. Half-demon.

[He fiddles with something near the bottom of his jacket for a second, eventually tugging his tail out from underneath it.]

[jagermeister]

Ain't that a girl's name?

_{[Clearly big cats is the next step up.]}

...Jus' half, huh? _{[Squinting at that tail. Does he... Does he touch it? Is it even real?]} ...Can't say I've met a half demon before, let alone a full one.

[keepsthefire]

No, it's both. I think more girls get it, though, but my brother's name is just a girl's name with an 'o', so...

[Maybe Yuri wanted girls? Or the meanings just fit better than any boys name she could think of...]

Well, there's me... an' Night, he's full. And Mephisto, too, but you might not wanna get to know him. He's kind of a pain in the ass and annoyin' as fuck.

[It's totally real. It's even curling up a little bit where Rin is holding it.]

[jagermeister]

Yeah? What's his?

_{[At least it's not as weird as the names the other Espada had.]}

Haa, I got a feeling if I met that guy we'd be fightin' faster than you could blink. I can't stand fucks like that.

_{[Juuuuuust going to reach out for it.]}

Lemme see.

[keepsthefire]

Yukio.

[The "girl's name" part being "Yuki", obviously. Though even some boys in Japan get saddled with that name so at least Yukio has the luxury of the slightly more masculine version.

He'll hold still, as much as he can with how often his tail fidgets.]

I'm related to him... and he's my guardian and school headmaster back home. It's like the world wants mt to suffer whenever he's around.

[jagermeister]

<sub>[Holy shit the end is so poofy like a damn lion, but at the same time it's almost like a monkey. This...

Is the coolest thing he's seen on a 'human' since he came back.]</sub>

I knew a guy named Luppi, so your brother's got it easy.

_{[Then he's letting go of Rin's tail, apparently satisfied with what he's seen.]}

Y'ever think 'bout tossin' him in the pot if he bugs you that much? Or y'think he'd be too tough to eat?

[keepsthefire]

Luppi?

[that gets a snort of laughter. Suddenly his name doesn't seem so bad.

He's just going to put his tail away again. Knowing their luck some one would make a poor decision during the class and it'd wind up on fire or something if he didn't...]

Ugh, god, no he'd probably be disgusting. I mean he practically lives off junk food. That on top of bein' like hundreds of years old? Gross...

[YUP just casually talking about how his half brother might taste, nbd.]

[jagermeister]

You'd piss yourself if y'saw what he used to look like.

_{[Good times in Hueco Mundo. Good times.]}

Sometimes the older ones taste the best in my experience. ...Sometimes. _{[tilting his head.]} 'sides, I'm probably 'round that age give or take a few decades. I quit keepin' track after too long.

_{[Cannibalism; it's what's for dinner.]}

[keepsthefire]

[He doubts that, mostly because of some of the demons he's had to put up with, but he doesn't say as much.]

... I can't believe I said that with a straight face. Wow.

[maaan conversations are weird.]

I'unno how old he actually is, just that he's been with the Order for like 200 years or somethin'. He likes to remind me I'm probably gonna live that long, if not longer.

[and that is an entirely different, horribly depressing topic for Rin.]
