[ Ochako probably knows and Mafuyu'll defer to her for directions-- five houses right, take a left, two houses down, etc etc, it's frustrating trying to navigate a town without proper street names or a working GPS ]
ugh youre living with the police guy ill come over if gurens not there!
good good ill come over then! give me 10 min to get over there!
[ flashforward ten minutes later-- banging on his door, in a very dull, heavy THUD THUD THUD that sounds like a heavy boot kicking at the door but it's really just her fist ]
Hey! I'm here, I'm here! [ as if he didn't hear her coming from miles away.
But she's glad to be here, always happy to be in the kitchen where all the magic happens— it isn't just microwaving boxed dinners, it's actual home cooked food and that's the only magic she'll accept in the world. ]
Did you have a hard time of it? Killing the goose and stuff?
It wasn't too bad, after someone told me what to do.
[At little gross (it was his first time killing and prepping an animal like that), but he was able to get it done. It's for the sake of cooking, after all!]
I hope it tastes good. [It does smell pretty good. He followed similar recipes to what Sojiro would use, though he doesn't have much in the way of spices...]
[ How good. She always half expects people to say "no, never mind" after learning what a pain things are and deciding it's not worth it, so she was doubly impressed at Akira's willingness to go through with everything. ]
I bet it will! [ It could be nothing but a bird in a pot of salt water and she'll probably think it's good, though, absolutely not picky as long as it's edible. ] You sit down too and let's eat together!
[Akira is willing to put up with a lot in the interests of gaining a confidant making a friend, after all! And Mafuyu isn't the most contrary of people he's dealt with.
He nods, ladling out the soup into the colorless bowls they have around the house and setting some in front of Mafuyu. Then he takes his own seat.
He's going to wait to see what she thinks before trying it himself.]
[ Mafuyu claps her hands together in a quick prayer before she digs in. There's no point in asking her what she thinks about it, because it's written all over her face: a wide smile and bright eyes, several spoons into her mouth before she realizes it's still and quiet from the other side of the table and she looks up at Akira. ]
—you too! You should eat too, before it gets cold!
He feels pretty happy in his accomplishment, now that he knows she's happy with it. He takes a few bites himself - it's not the best thing he's ever made, in his estimation, but seeing her happy makes him happy.]

At least I know how to make goose now.
