42 [Accidental Video]

[flameandpassion]

[Rei is in the kitchen, which isn't strictly unusual, as Usagi tops her into cooking her favorite things eats a lot of food and, therefore, someone must cook it... but what Rei is doing in the kitchen is something of a sight.

Her hands are covered in a thick, dark, sticky liquid and she looks like she's inches away from throwing the pot in front of her on the floor in a fit of frustration. The counter-top is covered with various cookbooks, what remains of their sugar stores, a heap of dark powder, and a thermometer.

There is a gooey pile to her right of 'failed attempts' at whatever the hell she's attempting to do.

She is stirring the pot almost viciously -- until something within the pot causes Hino Rei's patience to snap.]

Ugh, this is the dumbest tradition ever! Who thought this was a good idea!?

[The PCD shuts off before Rei has a chance to throw something at it.]

Re: No kidding :/

They'll end up perfect if you do!

[and she has SUCH a list to make for...]

[hisbutler_bound]

Ah, but it would be breaking tradition if you weren't the one actually making it, wouldn't it? I would just merely be assisting.

[buntails.livejournal.com]

But with your help, it can't go wrong!

[hisbutler_bound]

As you wish. What kind of chocolate were you looking to make? As long as you have the ingredients, I don't mind.

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Um. Well. Anything delicious.

[hisbutler_bound]

Almost all chocolate is delicious to most. Perhaps just basic chocolate since you seem not to have a grasp on quality quite yet.

That leaves us with white, milk, mint or dark.

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Milk chocolate. That's the best kind. Dark isn't sweet enough.

[hisbutler_bound]

Correct. It is a bit more bitter than most. Good, it seems you know something about chocolate.

[buntails.livejournal.com]

I know lots about eating good things.

[hisbutler_bound]

Are you a cook or do you have someone that can, or is it that you are experienced in food somehow?

[buntails.livejournal.com]

I just like eating delicious things.

[hisbutler_bound]

Ah, I suppose that'll do as well. Very well, when shall I meet you and where?

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Hmm. How about later today and-

Can we use your kitchen? Ours is kind of a mess already.

[You really don't want to see the results of a household of girls, at Valentine's Day, without Mako.]

[hisbutler_bound]

Mine is a little crowded as well but I can make room. [Damn he'll have to rush] Since you already know the location that is fine, but like I said before, we have to use your ingredients.

[buntails.livejournal.com]

That's fine! I'll bring a lot over!

[hisbutler_bound]

As you wish, Miss Usagi.

[buntails.livejournal.com]

You don't have to say 'Miss', you know.

[hisbutler_bound]

I'm afraid it would be rude of me otherwise, Miss Usagi. I am just a butler.

[buntails.livejournal.com]

You're not. You're also a friend.

[hisbutler_bound]

A friend? [He's being a skeptic]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Of course. One of the friends I've made in Adstringendum. But you're Ciel's friend, too. You're someone he really depends on.

[hisbutler_bound]

I don't think Miss Rei would think kindly of such a matter and as per my master, he is simply my master and I am his butler. My status could never reach such a thing.

[buntails.livejournal.com]

The senshi are my guardians, but I've never once thought of them as anything but my friends, too.

[hisbutler_bound]

I'm afraid I cannot speak on my master's behalf. I am his loyal servant, his guardian, his protector.

[buntails.livejournal.com]

I see. You just don't want to be too forward. But I'm sure he feels close to you.
