3rd Floor Common Room, Monday Evening

[notreallyagirl.livejournal.com]

He had a mid-term tomorrow. In cooking.

Thus, it made perfect sense to him, to wind up in the common room and attempting to cook.

Well.

Attempted to decide what he'd attempt to cook. Miss Lulu had said they couldn't use the recipes from class. This... would probably end badly.

[Open as a common room is!]

He looked up from going over his printouts. "I get 'well done', but why would undercooked meat be called 'bleu'?"

Not that it really mattered, he filed the word away anyway, just in case he needed it.

"I don't have the faintest idea. I read that's what you call it in a book."

He shrugged.

"I saw it in more than one book, though."

That got a laugh. "Good enough for me," Makoto declared, "especially if it's not just one book saying that. None of the books I checked out mentioned anything like that."

But then he'd been going through the really easy cook-books. Undercooked was a much more comprehensible term at his level.

That's the fun of beef!

"Well, it's just a thought. You do what you think is best. If you have any questions on what you're planning, though, feel free to ask."

Makoto nodded. "I'll keep what you said in mind though. It's helpful, thank you."

He glanced over, flicking a bit of long blonde hair out of his way as he did so. "Have you decided what you're making for tomorrow yet?"

He nodded.

"I planned it out while I was hiding in my room earlier," he said. "It was good to keep my mind off things."

"Does the green bother you that much, really?" Makoto asked. "You could try pretending that it's just a costume, or body-paint if that might make you more comfortable."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He shook his head.

"It's a personal matter," he said, all business. "Not so much the green itself."

But what it wasn't.

"Thank you, though."

"Just a suggestion," Makoto said agreeably, "since you've given me so many."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"And it's appreciated."

But it was complicated.
