[ The mochi seems to be ready too, by the time the rice is done cooking. It's best to let it cool though, especially when Ayaka still intends to decorate it a bit with camellias before serving to Cloud. Two bowls of rice are served, with the tonkatsu plated on the side. One cutlet for each of them! The sauce Ayaka made is served in a smaller bowl, with extra sesame seeds to put on the sauce if they so wish. Ayaka's sure to add some later on. ]
Thank you for being so thoughtful.
[ She didn't even have to tell him! Which is why she looks so happy once Cloud's back at the table after serving Ayaka's parents tea. The only thing missing now from this lovely dinner is Ayato. Ayaka hopes her brother is safe and indoors. Perhaps this is one of those rare occasions where being at work late is acceptable.
With Cloud settled, she nods and says a quick prayer as thanks for their meal. Now, Ayaka has been doing well in not thinking of the events outside and what's really going on with this festival, but she can truly say that Cloud is safe here within these walls. She is determined for this dinner to be a peaceful one, merely observing her beau every now and then between bites to make sure he is okay. ]
