No man can hide from his fears. As they're a part of him, they'll always know where he's hiding.

Kamaboko? There's something you don't get in Cardiff. I'll be there as soon as I can.

*She's at the door not too much later, the requested six pack and a small sack of limes in hand, as well as a small overnight bag she snuck back into the flat to retrieve. And Ellington, of course, tucked inside her jacket.*

[He's still in the kitchen, stirring udon in the pot. He doesn't even have to look to know she's there.]

It's unlocked, but lock it when you come in.

[Calling out to her, stir stir.]

*Tosh does as she's told, setting down the overnight kit and her computer bag by the door, and carrying the other items into the kitchen.*

I should warn you I'm cursed. And I'd offer to help but Blue said you don't really like people in your kitchen, so I could set the table or something?

That's fine.

I was thinking more along the lines of bowls and chopsticks at the coffee table. Just get comfortable.

[Not very formal despite his culinary prowess!]

That sounds perfect. I'll go put Ellington in the music room, if you like. And just tell me where things are, and I'll get them out.

*While she's talking, she puts the beer in the fridge and sets the limes out of the way but where Cori can get to them when he wants them.*

I shut all the windows and closed the bathroom doors. He'll be fine up there.

[And away from Cori! He's also very good with knives, he's already cutting those limes after she puts them down.]

*Closed windows and doors is a good thing! Tosh is reluctant to let the star baby out of her sight, but it's probably best for them both.

She's back in a moment, sans jacket and blue tentacles.*

All right, bowls and chopsticks, and I'll keep myself over here where I don't tempt the person with the knife.

What did he tell you, that I'm scary?

[Noticing Tosh's polite and avoidant manner! He pours the udon with kamaboko, cuttlefish, and the works into a bowl for her.]

Chopsticks, spoons, whatever you want.

[He points at a drawer closer to her.]

No one had to tell me that, I actually saw you be scary, remember? Also, I heard about the alligator.

*It's hard to tell whether she'd have admitted the bit about him being scary if the curse weren't in effect. Not even Tosh knows for sure.*

That smells wonderful. I can take scary if it comes with good cooking skills.

*She fetches bowls, chopsticks, and spoons for the both of them, and two beers from the fridge as well.*

It wasn't much.

[Said oh so casually! The gator though that was work, but Cori no longer has bandages on him.]

That's what all the girls say.

[Fetching limes to stick in the bottles.]

It was enough for me. I, um, bought you a plant.

*Which sounds ridiculous now, she thinks, but it's not like she can avoid saying these things today.*

Hey, it's hard to find a man who likes to cook. We girls will put up with quite a lot when we do.

A plant?

[He had a plant, it was special, his ex's, then it became unspecial. Bottles open, limes in. It's guaranteed to taste interesting with udon.]

Well, it was before you told me what I could do to repay you. Ianto and I were plant shopping, we got plants for everyone. Well, except for Andy, because he hadn't arrived yet, and John, because we hate him a little. And also he doesn't live with us. Ianto picked it out, it's sort of unusual and spiky, but pretty.

*Oh look, noodles! Hard to babble with your mouth full.*

Cactus?

[Curiously, then eating, drinking. They have a DVD rack too with movies Blue will watch on the right and movies Blue won't watch on the left.]

Helicona. It's tropical. The flowers are actually sort of the spiky bits, and they're really just leaves not flowers at all. Hummingbirds pollinate them.

I, um, did some research after Ianto suggested it.

*She's plainly enjoying her meal, although she's also checking out the movie rack, curious to see how they're divided up.*

Blue'd like that.

[Re-Animator, Blood Feast, Se7en, Suspiria on one side, Casablanca, Saving Private Ryan, Braveheart, and The Newsies on the other.]

How's your flat.

[Asking casually.]

Then I'll bring it by soon. It might get kind of big, but I think it's an interesting plant.

*With the kind of work she does, there's not much that can happen in a film that really gets to Tosh, although she'll cry at tearjerker as quickly as the next girl.*

You, um, maybe want to watch something? *She's eying Casablanca, and then decides that after the day's revelation, maybe something less heart-tugging and more cathartic would be better. Re-Animator reminds her too much of Owen, so she reaches for Blood Feast instead.*

If we get hummingbirds around here I think Blue'd enjoy it.

[He notices she's reaching for Blood Feast.]

Careful, you're making points with me.

[No he doesn't mind at all.]

Like at the Lux. That would be really nice. Maybe if you put it near an open window or something.

*She gives him a little grin as she grabs the DVD.*

I can pick something else, if you really want to spend the evening with a sobbing girl surrounded by damp tissues.

[He nods at her recommendation then shrugs over the DVD choice.]

It's your dinner you might lose.

You know it took only nine days and $25,000 to film?

[In fact, this shows in the special effects.]

I've watched Owen autopsy chunks of alien meat and then had pizza afterward. Don't really think I'll be bothered by some fake blood and body parts.

*She puts in the DVD and then returns to her udon.*

You're a good host.

I bet alien meat and blowfish act better.

[He means the regular kind of blowfish, unaware of the alien type.]

Thanks.

Oh god, Blowfish are probably the scene-chewers of the alien world. Especially when they're hopped up.

*Because of course her mind goes straight to the alien type.*

You're welcome. I was afraid you'd be unhappy about having an unexpected guest. But this is sort of fun. And you're not asking me uncomfortable questions that'll make me say things I really don't want to be saying out loud, so I appreciate that.

What?

[Staring at her for the blowfish commentary.]

Don't sweat it. You take Ellington off my hands.

Ah, Blue found Jack by the way. They're safe.

*Tosh stares back before realization strikes.*

Oh. You meant the actual fish.

*Smiles* I like Ellington. He makes me happy. It's nice to come home to something that's happy to see you.

*And then her expression fades to one of worry.*

Jack's okay?
