[Without shame or hesitation. And yes, he brought chopsticks! He'll take a seat as well, though he seems content to just wait and see if Akira enjoys it.]
That, too, is a sort of way to make the most of things, even in a place like this.
Now you're just flattering me--but I'm still glad to hear it.
There's a lot I can't make, but... I'm pretty good with traditional foods. So if you're ever missing any flavors from home... I'd be happy to make us dinner.

[he teases one last time before he takes a bite. . . and immediately brightens]
Oh. . . it's really good.
[HE ISN'T SURPRISED ABOUT IT, PER SE, BUT. . . well. he had no idea Minato was this skilled at cooking]
no subject
Oh, good... I was hoping you'd enjoy it, but I'm not used to cooking without a recipe on hand.
no subject
Mmm-- couldn't tell. It's been a while since I've had omurice this good.

[but Akira just huffs the thought away as he takes another bite]
I don't think I've ever been this spoiled before in my life.
no subject
Seriously...? [Just a headtilt at that.] I don't think any of what people are doing is even that much, really.
no subject
Haaaaaving someone promise to make me dinner whenever I want it feels like a lot. . . I'm used to fending for myself.
[shrugs! that's life!]
no subject
... It's not like I've got a lot of things eating up my time here... and I really enjoy your company.
So to me, it's kind of a win-win.
no subject
[but he stares at Minato for a moment, expression blank and glasses opaque, before he takes another bite of omurice]
. . .
I feel like I should be giving something back. . .
no subject
I just told you what I'm getting out of this... you don't have to give me anything in return.
Can you at least believe that much?
no subject
All right, all right. I'll stop fussing.
no subject
[Minato relaxes again pretty easily at that.]
This is part of friendship too, so... I'm really glad to hear that.
no subject
You're a bit of a smooth talker, you know? [LIGHTLY but there's a bit of truth to it] I bet none of your Confidants stood a chance.
no subject
Smooth talker...? Was that smooth talking...?
[????]
no subject
Smooth as velvet. Or silk? Pick your favorite.
[wags a brow and takes another bite of omurice]
no subject
I wasn't trying to be... I was being sincere. I hope you know that I really meant it--
no subject
Ah-- of course you really meant it.
That's what makes it so smooth.
no subject
... I don't think I entirely understand, still... but so long as you know that I meant it, I'm okay with it.
What are your favorite meals, by the way. [asking for a friend]
no subject
[his response is immediate]
The tears of my enemies.
no subject
That'll be a tough one... I don't even know who your enemies are to get tears from.
no subject
I can't make things easy on you, can I?
no subject
... Well. What about your second favorite, non-tears-related meal?
no subject
[now he's jut being contrary]
