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.*
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.*
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.*
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.*
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.

Date: 2008-05-01 02:04 am (UTC)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!]

Date: 2008-05-01 02:15 am (UTC)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.

Chopsticks, spoons, whatever you want.
[He points at a drawer closer to her.]

Date: 2008-05-01 02:28 am (UTC)*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.*

Date: 2008-05-01 02:33 am (UTC)[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.]

Date: 2008-05-01 02:40 am (UTC)*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.

How's your flat.

[No he doesn't mind at all.]

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

You know it took only nine days and $25,000 to film?
[In fact, this shows in the special effects.]

You're a good host.

Don't sweat it. You take Ellington off my hands.
Ah, Blue found Jack by the way. They're safe.

Date: 2008-05-01 01:15 pm (UTC)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?
