Really. [Just to prove it, he takes another bite, a pleased sound escaping from him.

When he swallows, he reaches over with a free hand to pat Eric on the head again, his smile widening slightly.] But if ya don't believe me, we can always ask Anna ta try, too.

[Because Anna, if ever, rarely lies. She has that blunt quality that Mikoto has, after all.]

[redstray]

[ The hair ruffling again ah you fiend D< He's mildly pouting and his face a little red, partially from the ruffling the rest from the compliment ]

...I believe you.

[ He doesn't want to bother anyone with his cooking...yet ]

[toremainbehind]

[Eric is adorable like this — not that Izumo would ever admit it, of course.

He chuckles softly, giving a nod.] Alright. Let's finish eating then. We can wrap up the rest for later.

[redstray]

[ Eric wouldn't be able to take it if he was called adorable. ]

Ah, Right.

[ As he goes to take a second mouth full he pauses and gives out a small mumbled sort. He had forgotten!! ]

I-Itadakimasu.

[ And with that he continues his meal. ]

[toremainbehind]

[Izumo chuckles at that, slightly amused, but he doesn't scold Eric for forgetting.

He goes back to eating himself, simply enjoying his lunch.

It takes a few minutes before he's finished eating, making sure to clean up after himself and going to cover any remaining food.]

[redstray]

[ After the meal Eric trails after Kusanagi, following the clean up and watching him take care of the rest of the food, trying to learn how to do all of that anyways. Extra food? So unreal. ]

[toremainbehind]

[He doesn't mind Eric watching, subtly doing it slow enough for him to be able to see everything perfectly.]

D'ya mind washing the dishes for me? [Izumo...can't really recall if Eric's learned how to do that yet, but if not, well - that's just another thing to learn.]

[redstray]

[ At the question he shakes his head, not minding at all to do the dishes. He wanders off to collect them and starts the water. ]

...The pots too?

[toremainbehind]

[Izumo gives a nod, making sure to close the lids of the containers he's placed the food was put in.]

If ya can handle 'em.

[redstray]

[ He nods, reaching fro and grabbing one of them. his hands soapy and wet, however made it difficult to grab the handle properly. He lost his grip on it and it went crashing to the ground, Eric bringing his hands to his ears and jumping at the bang. Opening his eyes back up he saw the pot on the floor, not damaged but with some of it's contents spilled on the floor. ]

I...I didn't...

[ He didn't mean to was what he wanted to say, and that he was sorry but nothing came out after that. ]

[toremainbehind]

[It's like watching everything going in slow motion. He just barely reaches out to catch the pot before it crashed onto the floor, the contents spilling out.

There's an urge in him to do something (probably scold him), but he holds it back, knowing it wouldn't be good - or wise - to do that to Eric. He just made progress with him, he's not about to lose it.

Shaking his head, Izumo places the food containers on the counter before he bends down to pick up the pot, making sure nothing spills out more.] 's okay. Next time, make sure your hands aren't too soapy or wet when ya grab the handles. 's just an accident, so no harm done.

[Other than the dirty floor, but that can easily be cleaned up.] D'ya wanna continue washing or clean up the floor? [He's going to give Eric options; he doesn't want to force him to do anything.]

[redstray]

[ He nods a few times, calming down a bit. He was getting a bit better, but still those worries lingered and being prepared for anything. And he knew how Kusanagi reacts to things about his bar. ]

S-sorry...

[ A small mumble, watching him pick up the pot. And choices! He hated choosing, which one was better? He didn't know!! ]

Uhm...I can...still do the dishes. If that's okay...But I can still clean the floor after!

[ He didn't want to leave things for Kusanagi, he had already done so much if he could do both that would be fine. ]

[toremainbehind]

I don't want ya ta push yourself, Eric. [And he's being genuine in that.

Izumo may punish the boys if they damage his bar, but that's usually reserved for the rowdy ones, like Yata.

He places the pot in the sink again, giving the younger man a look.] Just focus on the dishes and I'll get the floor. Ya can do something else for me ta make up for dropping the pot.

[redstray]

[ Some ideas are still hard to grasp, like knowing Yata would get hit for something but others might not even for the same thing.

He looks from Kusanagi to the sink and just restarts his washing, feeling bad for what happened. He nods for the last part. It won't be too bad, Kusanagi was never that harsh to him, which he was grateful for if not terribly confused by it. ]

[toremainbehind]

[While Eric gets back to cleaning, Izumo goes off to fetch the mop and bucket, knowing he had to clean it up before the smell gets too much and stains are on the floor.

When he comes back, he works in relative silence, not too awkward and peaceful. Every now and then, he glances at Eric to see how he's doing.]

[redstray]

[ Eric tries to only pay attention to what he's doing. He probably didn't have to spend so long on the dishes but he wanted to make sure they were extra clean to make up for his mishap.

He grabs the pots after much more carefully and sets to work on them as well, making sure to get every last bit of food off of them. Finished at last he drained the water as he placed the last pot to dry, sighing in relief that nothing else had happened.

He turned around and waited for Kusanagi to look a bit more free so as not to disturb him before speaking up quietly ]

Anything else?

[toremainbehind]

[By the time Eric is done, so is Izumo.

He holds up a hand, gesturing Eric to wait as he puts the mop and bucket away, satisfied with the cleaning. When he returns, he wordlessly gestures Eric to follow him back out to the front.]

Ya can join me on a small errand. [Small enough that Izumo can handle himself, but he's not going to tell him that.]

[redstray]

[ He waits and follows as Kusanagi says. He tilts his head a bit, not used to the invitation, normally if at all, someone else would go with him for errands. But maybe this was the making up for the pot so he nodded. ]

Where?

[toremainbehind]

We're just gonna go ta this place I often go ta.

[Leaves things vague, but he's going to walk out of the bar. He'll wait until Eric is out, too, before he locks the door.]

[redstray]

Ah.

[ dfksksjdh wait! He jogs out after him, hands in his pockets and stands beside if not a little behind him, waiting for the next step. ]

[toremainbehind]

[Waits for him to come out, and then proceeds to lock the door. Placing the keys in his pocket, Izumo takes out a cigarette and his lighter, the familiar taste of tobacco easily filling him up.

He breathes out, nodding to Eric to follow as he starts walking.] Did Fujishima show ya around the city yet?

[redstray]

[ He follows like a lost puppy Kusanagi ]

Just around this area...

[ He knows where a few things are, certain buildings and restaurants, mostly just from visual cues. He wouldn't be able to give directions to any of those places if anyone asked. ]

[toremainbehind]

So ya haven't gone ta the main part o' the city yet. [Understandable. It's usually crowded, and being surrounded by so many people might overwhelm Eric.]

What kind o' things did Fujishima show ya?

[redstray]

Sometimes...before but...never out in the open.

[ Always watching in alleys or side streets to see targets or to go to a way point for meeting his owner. ]

Some stores, restaurants he wants me to try, parks...

[toremainbehind]

Well, we gotta go ta a store there. Just stick close t'me if ya feel overwhelmed. [He starts to make his way now, keeping his pace slow enough for Eric to follow.

He hums.] Mm, can always count on him ta help ya adjust.
