The barking on the floor suddenly stopped when Kitchenzilla rumbled into the room. Okibi couldnt see them, but she was pretty sure the mechanical lizard was growling at Zen. When she saw the spotted pup dart around the table and duck behind Peaches, she was sure of it. Funnily enough, the little devil who seemed to fear nothing was afraid of their precious Kitchy!
Seven laughed doggishly at Zen's retreat and smiled amicably at Kitchy. "Kitchenzilla, its been a while. Have you been polished recently?"
As the cake was cut and set on plates before them, Okibi clapped, enjoying Sousuke's display of technique. "Mighty fine cake cutting." She said before she dug her fingers into the tip of her slice and popped it into her mouth. She chewed it . . . and chewed come more . . . and some more. Sadly, no matter how long she kept it in her mouth, it stayed the same, tasteless. Despite Sousuke's attempt to bake it 'with love', there was still absolutely nothing about the desert that made her feel like she was munching on more than some moist, crumbly foam.
Swallowing, Okibi forced herself to smile and take another bite. She nodded along with Tama, who admitted that the cake was 'interesting'. There was no denying that of course, a tasteless cake was indeed interesting. "Very interesting." She mumbled around her mouthful, then swallowed again. Sighing loudly and pushing her plate away, Okibi leaned back and patted her flat stomach. "Aah, I'm full."
Standing up, Okibi collected her and the pups plates and set them in the sink before walking around the table to Sousuke's side. She hugged him from behind and gave him a loud peck on the cheek. "Thank you for the cake and gifts Sogay. I loved them." Straightening up, she looked across the table at Tama, her eyes smoldering. "But I want my other gifts now, so I think Tama and I are going to make ourselves scarce."
Turning around, she eyed the pups on the floor. "Seven, you'll stay and keep Sousuke company? Maybe read him a bedtime story as he broods about losing to a girl?" She grinned, and squeezed Sousuke's shoulder lightly, so he knew she was joking. Seven barked out a laugh and nodded.
"Of course."
From behind Peaches, Zen piped up. "Pretty pathetic that he needs cheering up just because he took a few punches from a female. What a wuss." Peaches glared at him over her shoulder and bumped him away from her with her hip.
Okibi chuckled and walked over to the kitchens doorway, she paused at the threshold and looked back at Sousuke. "By the way, I want to hear about this female youre supposedly courting when I get back." For a moment her face was incredibly serious and slightly fierce. It was no secret that she was protective of the steward. Turning the other way once she said her piece, she held her hand out to Tama with a smile. "Shall we?"
