"Yeah. Utility knife though. Accidentally dropped it during... You know."

*Livio could hear the sound of something sizzling on the pan, immediately moving into the kitchen and peering over Kiro's shoulder.*

"Ooh, eggs? What kind?"
Carmen
*She giggles as he asks what kind of eggs she's cooking.* "There's different types!? It's just normal eggs you'd find anywhere." 

*She did a swift flip of the egg, the sizzling becoming louder.* "Careful."
Brenda
"Nah, I mean how you cook it! Sunny-side up, scrambled, fried, like that!"

*Kiro could feel Livio's hands on her hips as she remained cooking, the man's head nuzzling up against the kemonomimi.*
Carmen
"F-Fried.." *She stuttered as he caressed her hips and nuzzled against her, feeling his hot breath on her neck.*
Brenda
*Livio lets his hands slide off Kiro, wandering around the kitchen to get a good sense around the place. Who knows, he might be coming here often.*

"Fried eggs are nice. Don't need much to make them taste good. How long have you had this place? It's really cozy."
Carmen
"Dad built it." *She smiled at his voice, it was so.. It sounded like a hot bitter coffee on a cold morning to her.* 

"And why'd you run offf? Come back here so you can entertain me while I cookkk..!" *She almost begged, her tired but soft and calm voice whining for him to come back and hold her while she cooks for them.*
Brenda
"Ah, is family still around? Or did they move?"

*Livio moved back to where Kiro was, moving one hand up her stomach and the other hand down.*

"Your form of entertainment is... Interesting, don't you think?"
Carmen
"Well they're dead." *Livio's smile dropped, still holding her.* 

"It's not big deal! Promise. Also, my form of entertainment is not ***Interesting***! I'm purely bored!"
Brenda
"Sorry to ask about that."

*Livio's hands soon moved up near Kiro's chest and down her thigh, and he left a small kiss on the side of her neck.*

"Most people don't have others feeling their bodies for entertainment."
Carmen
"Well then I'm not like most people!" *She then moved away, putting the egg on a plate and then turning to him.*

"Tea or coffee?"
Brenda
*Livio let out a laugh, giving Kiro a quick squeeze before letting her put the eggs on a plate.*

"Let's do some coffee today. I prefer black; no sugar or cream."

*The mercenary then began helping to set the table, laying out napkins and utensils.*
Carmen
"Roger that!" *She continues to make two cups of coffee, the smell filling her house. She then sets both cups on the table, noticing how his is black coffee with no sugar or even cream and hers is almost a latte, drowned in sugar.* 

"Bon appetit, love." *She smiled and took a long sip of her drink, the warmness of the liquid spilling into her stomach, filling her with a pleasant feeling.*
Brenda
*Ah, the smell of coffee in the morning. Livio remembered it well during his time in the army, waking up to powdered coffee. The taste wasn't exactly the best back then, but it was the feeling it gave that truly was sought after. The taste of this coffee though, was clean, not gritty like the other one. He did take notice of Kiro's overly creamed and sugared latte; probably was used to a good life.*

"Bon appetit."

*Livio took a smaller sip of his, giving the coffee time to take effect.*

"So Kiro, just curious... What do you do? For a living, that is."
Carmen
"Used to be a bar tender. No more though, well there's no need anyway. I have enough money to take care of myself until I die."

*She set her coffee down, grabbing a claw hair clip that was in the shape of a butterfly, and putting her hair up.* "There, now my hair won't get in my food."
Brenda
*That much money from being a bartender? That was somewhat odd; being a bartender could pay well, but not enough to simply not work until death. And kemonomimi lived for a long time. Livio also suspected that Kiro was young; judging by her reactions and experience in bed, nowhere near the hundreds of years certain kemonos could reach.*

"Until you die? That's quite a lot of money stored up isn't it?"

"That's a pretty hair clip you got. Though I did prefer it when your hair was down."

*Livio gave a highly suggestive smile at that statement.*
Carmen
"Oh I can take the hair clip out if you'd like — if you prefer it down, that is.. And besides, the money isn't from the job. It's from my insanely and weirdly rich family."
Brenda
"Ah, not now. I meant during in bed."

*That would explain it. Inheritance money.*

"I see now. So you live alone?"
Carmen
*She lightly choked when she heard him say "During bed".* "Aha — makes sense." *Wiping her mouth, or more like dabbing it, she smiled.* 

"Yes, I do live alone. And I love it. I can blast music while in a silk robe and no one would judge me for it because ***No one would know or see!***" *She giggled.*
Jacqueline
How does blastig music work
David
Don't they ahve like
Brenda
*Livio chuckled at Kiro's reaction. Still so cute.*

"So you like to dance while barely clothed to music? That's something I'd like to see."

*Taking a long sip of his coffee, the mercenary thought of how Kiro lived. Was that all she did?*

"Surely there's other things you do though."
Carmen
"There is! I cook, I travel, I read, and more. My life isn't.. Dull. I enjoy how I live. Peace is nice. And so is silence." *She takes a long sip, shutting her eyes for a brief moment.*
Brenda
"And drink."

Letting out a small laugh, Livio takes another bite of the food. Delicious.

"Simple, huh? And peaceful. Admittedly, that's not my style."

Livio knew that that wasn't the life for him. He lived for the thrill of hunting; the steady trek followed by the pull of the trigger.
