[Bye dogs! Have fun! Don't knock everything over! At least there shouldn't be any traps activated now...right? Maybe she should tell Colonel to be good around Riou's house. But the puppies are gone now, leaving a pair of two-legged creatures in their wake.
She walks in now as they have a moment to themselves, and as he suggested, she sits down, placing her container on the table. She'll only reveal the contents once he gets a moment to himself.]
Is there anything you'd like me to help with?
[He did say it was ready very soon, but in case he would like her to help set up the table, bring out anything else.]
[ He doesn't respond, and a few minutes and some clanking later, he comes out with what looks like a scrambled eggs dish. Scrambled eggs, foraged mushrooms, caramelized onions, and some worms. Yum. He sets the plate in front of Sen at the table and another one at the chair across from her. ]
[Alright, that actually smells amazing, even with those worms. She's eat anything, and by that, we really mean almost everything. So she doesn't even look disturbed when she looks at his eggs.]
That smells lovely!
[See? Time to eat these friendly worms.]
As for what I made...
[She opens up her contained. Breakfast is commonly a light dish, and while it's known that snake is meant to warm the blood...well, she made marinated snake.]
I have hunted snakes before, so I found some that were edible.
[Look her other option was crickets but she thought she should bring something more impressive.]
[ Oh good, she seems pleased. Riou looks really interested when she reveals the marinated snake, his eyes widening slightly before he puts on a warm smile. ]
[Let's not talk about the peanut worms she has at home too. Hmm. Either way, she's looking forward to eating it. Before that, she pulls the container in front of him, so it'll be easier for him to eat.]
Of course! I made this all for you. I hope it is to your tastes.
[ He uses the chopsticks that he served with the scramble to pick one up and put it on Sen's plate, then one on his. They can both enjoy both parts of the meal!! He digs right into hers first since he knows what his tastes like.
And after a few seconds lets out a low "Mmm." He likes it. ]
[She thanks him after he serves them! Cute! So she waits a little first before she starts, only because she wants to know what he says when he eats her meal.
And manages a smile, pleased, before she eats his. Nomnomnom--]
The marinade is really good, it brings out the flavor.
[ Snake itself isn't a very flavorful animal, but the way that she prepared it is what really makes the dish he thinks. He's going to fill up on hers before he touches his. ]
I agree! [Which is why she loves home cooking so much. And it's great that she found someone who also agrees. Even if he goes one further and grabs his food Super Fresh.
She continues to eat now, since they need some time to Absorb the noms.]
[ Their eating will be interrupted about halfway through as the dogs return from play. Smith and Wesson sit directly between Sen and Riou and look up at them with puppy eyes. Wesson makes a high-pitched breathing sound, like he's doing his absolute best not to whine and beg for food. ]
No begging.
[ The hiss gets a little quieter somehow, but ultimately doesn't stop. Riou is trying to ignore it. If he doesn't react, he's not rewarding them with attention. ]
If you give them attention, they'll learn they get rewards from begging at the table.
[ He'll explain for Sen. It's important for her to know too, or else she will get barked at by a spoiled dog who wants her food and doesn't understand who the alpha is. ]
I see! You're really good at training these dogs. I believe they know as well, it's a test right now considering they're still giving us the most saddest eyes.

no subject
[Then she wouldn't have to mess with her recipe. She continues to eat his eggs.]
What are these little worms?
no subject
[ He thinks it's nutty anyway. They're pretty darn good, and have kind of a 'pop' when you bite into them. ]
no subject
It does have a nutty flavour, no wonder it goes so well with these mushrooms. Are they native here as well?
no subject
[ He had to identify his own mushrooms. ]
no subject
[Good thing her body heals up fast and is resilient. BUT RIOU.]
They taste really lovely too. Fresh mushrooms are wonderful.
no subject
Mm. Fresh food is best.

She's halfway through eating a morsel when she watches this, since is this Riou's training? How curious!]
Oh?
[He's a strict dad!]

[SUCH SAD EYES AT DAD (and mother).]
So one must ignore them as well?
no subject
[ If that helps her feel any better about the sad eyes. That's how he thinks of it anyway. These are not starving dogs, they are just not spoiled. ]
Please ignore them, yes.
no subject
[And she continues to eat! She won't let Riou's hard work go to waste!]
You're a really good father.
no subject
[ He is a good plant dad though he knows that much. ]
no subject
And the dogs still love you. So good pet owner indeed.
