Oh, good idea! Taroimo is a little...well, you know how it is with those bowling balls of his.
[The ongoing mystery Ryoko may never be able to solve is how Taroimo runs the stand when Akira's away, because he only ever says things like this.]
I think everyone would like that. It's been awhile since I've had enough leftovers to bring home for the brats and Kaori.
[And he doesn't have Matsu to make them and give to Akira in exchange for his work anymore. It really is the sort of presence he was only acutely made aware of when he lost it.
He's starting to relax into the situation of having Ryoko with her head on his lap, his pulse finally starting to settle and the blush mottling his cheeks starting to fade, and he sort of scratches behind one of her ears like she's a cat. She definitely sounds like she's feeling better, but he's not about to be the one to point it out.]
...On that note. If you've got some time to spare, would you mind talking with her? Kaori, I mean. She was younger when we lost our dad, and Taeko's doing great, but I think she could benefit from...y'know, like a cool older sister.
