<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-style: italic">"And disturb them two? I don't think that's a good idea... Getting a stab from the Black Samurai through the lung is one thing, and getting a kick from my sister is another. I daresay that the second is, in many cases, worse."</span><br/><br/>Surely, he didn't think Blake was going to make a pass at her... Only to beat Haruki up for butting in at the best moment. She could understand as she would slice a fool up if he ruined a good conversation with a man... But if it was for food... And that was good food. In any case, Blake would likely offer to cook, and invite Nyoko for his cooking. But it was safe to assume that Haruki didn't know Blake when it came to woman business. Not that she was going to point it out to the man.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Besides, do you have any food? I've not eaten a thing in three days... I'd eat anything."</span><br/><br/>Speaking of food, Rosalia was practically starving herself. And although she was taught Blake how to cook <span style="font-style: italic">"well"</span>... She would have felt little shame in asking Blake to cook something instead of her. More often than most, Rosalia could make something so bad taste somewhat good. On the other hand, Blake could take most things and make one like them. Her point, if she even dared to argue this..., Blake might be better cooking than she was. But she was swallow her pride and try for this man... What's the worse she could do? Burn this house down? Despite that it was it crafted into the earth? No demolition required, fool!<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF4080">"Well... I've tried making some stew once again..."</span> She finally answered, her eyes turning to the large pot, warmed by the vibrant flame sleeping underneath. <span style="color: #FF4080">"It's most vegetables and tendered pheasant meat. Something Blake taught me before he left 10 years ago..."</span> She added, a soft red blooming on her rosy cheeks. <span style="color: #FF4080">"If you wish, I'd like you to taste it first."</span></span>
