[ Especially since they always seem to run into some sort of trouble or another when they go out... so she's content to just stay home, eat, cuddle, and enjoy herself. She'll start with the toast, making sure to fill it with plenty of jelly, probably three times more than what you should actually put on a single serving. ]
[Toki eats his muffin slowly, because he wants to get a feel for what he should change next time. It's a little bitter, and maybe he didn't use enough sugar. Perhaps an experiment is needed. He feels around for the chocolate syrup to pour on top.]
I asked Terry to help me learn to make pancakes and it was... kind of a disaster, but I've been practicing with Joroko after. She's... better at it.
[Sorry, Terry. But Joroko's instructions are far more clear.]
[ Unlike Toki, Rei devours her food in a few quick bites. She has to eat fast if she wants to enjoy everything! Plus, you can't mess up toast, right? Maybe she can't even taste anything off with it since she slathered it with jelly. She waits till her mouth is empty before she speaks again. ]
Really? T-chan is normally good at cooking. He taught me how to make food.
It's probably my fault! I don't always get things right away! And he kind of started off by trying to do everything for me and didn't even let me open the cabinets...
[That kind of annoyed him. Joroko understands Toki's need for supervision and instruction without sacrificing independence, and the importance of giving him room to figure things out for himself.]
Maybe Joroko can just read me his recipes for things! Then I can try something more complicated~!
Oh, maybe like the cute cake and cupcakes that Red made for our wedding! I didn't know that you could make food that cute and pretty!
[ Though this would be their result... Rei is still eating through everything, moving from one thing to another. She has absolutely no complaints. They could taste awful and she'd still eat it. :9 ]
[Toki knows his attempts at breakfast don't even compare to Red's baking, but it's nice to hear just the same. Two muffins are about enough for him, and he'll drink a quarter of the milk before setting it back down and sprawling on the blanket, like they're outside in the woods or something. Only it's quiet and warm.]
Rei... how long do you think we'll have here?
[It used to seem so far away, the end of their stay in Hirajiro, but the last dungeons are fast approaching and now that he knows the truth about Inaba, everything's unknown again.]
[ Now that it seems like Toki is done with eating, Rei will finish off the rest. It will take her absolutely no time to finish, especially with the way that she always inhales her food. She's already halfway done with everywhere when Toki calls out her name, grabbing her attention. Ah, that question... She lowers the muffin in her hands, holding it down in her lap. ]
I think... maybe a month or two. This is going to be our last Daitengu and everyone wants to fight the Kotengu so...
[ Rather than jumping back home right away, they're going to stay and fight so that gives them a bit more time, but it definitely won't be peaceful. ]
[Two months can seem agonizingly long at times, but Toki thinks it will be too fast this time; they'll be making their decision on leaving before he knows it.]
[ The heavy topic starts to make Rei's appetite go away so she places the half-eaten muffin back in the basket and goes to lie down with Toki, curling up against him. ]
What... should we do? T-chan says that there aren't any other steps after marriage and sex, but I don't want to miss anything... I want to do everything before we have to leave...
[ He did mention that having kids was an optional step, but that definitely can't be a thing for a number of reasons. She trusts that Terry was telling the truth about relationships, but she should also ask Toki since he's the one that she actually married. She doesn't want to have any regrets if it turns out that they can't stay or go to a different world. ]
I don't think we've missed anything... Not like that, not something we should do, or a milestone to be met or anything... I just- I don't think there'll ever be enough time with you.
[She'd dead. They'll have to leave this world. Toki's world is due for an apocalypse. In every possible future to him, there's no time left.]
[ She squeezes his hand and curls up a bit tighter. Sad is an understatement. Her heart aches, thinking about the the time left for them. Their marriage would only last a few months. ]
What-- What if we don't go through the door? And we go really far away before everyone opens the door to leave?
The mountains look really big. Maybe we can go as far away as possible from the door without looping back.
[ Of course, that might not work, but it's always worth a shot. She'd be willing to try anything so they could stay together without risking everyone else's chances of going back. She's selfish, but not to that extent. She just has to keep on thinking. There has to be some way. ]
... or maybe we can stay in the Velvet Room. It exists between, um, dream and reality, and Leader and Vice Leader were there for a really long time. If I ask, they might let us stay.
[Toki feels the same way regarding giving everyone else a chance to go home. It doesn't mean he and Rei have to go with them.]
I think... we should try for the mountains. In my vision when the ofuda were removed from the door, the Velvet Room was closed. I mean, like the light wasn't there. What if it somehow gets destroyed in whatever happens?
[ She thinks. She wishes that she paid more close attention and asked more questions when she was with the P3/4 teams back in limbo. It would really help right now about the Velvet Room. ]
I... think you can't destroy the Velvet Room. There was one in the-- um... after I died but before I went to the Sea of Souls and became nothing, there was a Velvet Room there. There was also one in Leader's town and Vice Leader's city. I know it's the same one because the Attendants all said that they had the same boss in all of them, so maybe... it just moves?
[He'd get easily disoriented with all the music. He'd start drinking the vodka to deal with it, and then end up singing karaoke with Souji's cats all the time.]
[He wants to say that any place they live is fine if they're together, but it might not be true. He doesn't want to live in the Velvet Room, or France.]
Neither have I! There's so many things we'd need, like a tent and some matches and like a chainsaw!

But maybe next time, we can make something together. I'm not super good at cooking, but I know more now!

[He still appreciates cute food. Toki tries some toast next, and it's not as bad as he thought it would be. Not too burned and charred.]
no subject

no subject
Yeah, like that! The cake was amazing~!
[He's discarded his toast, half-eaten, in favour of another muffin and the milk jug.]
no subject
Mmhm, it was really delicious! Just like your food right now. It's super good!
[ Though, to be fair, Rei thinks anything tastes good as long as it's... edible and not a complete disaster. ]

[That's a good enough explanation for Toki. He tries not to think too much about the Sea of Souls and Rei becoming nothing.]
It can't hurt to ask.
no subject
[ She'll ask after the dungeon since it seems like even the Attendants are busy trying to prepare for it. ]
But will you like staying in the Velvet Room?
no subject
[He'd get easily disoriented with all the music. He'd start drinking the vodka to deal with it, and then end up singing karaoke with Souji's cats all the time.]
no subject
[ She should have just asked that question from the very beginning. That would have saved some time. ]
I want you to enjoy where we'll have to live. I've never camped outside, though.
no subject
Neither have I! There's so many things we'd need, like a tent and some matches and like a chainsaw!
[Because that's how you chop firewood.]
no subject
Would it be really hard to build a small home? If we want to live there permanently, maybe we should make a tiny house.
[ Maybe we can just regain Rei's old home and drop it somewhere in the mountains because they can't make a house by themselves... ]
