With your baby's breath, breathe symphonies
WHO: Residents of Nonah #005, adopted members of Nonah #005, stray birds, stray cats, stray dogs, visitors to Nonah #005, neighbours of Nonah #005, people passing Nonah #005 on the street . . .
WHERE: Nonah #005
WHEN: Feb. 3
WHAT: Setsubun! Bean throwing!! Family dinner!!!
WARNINGS: Teenagers
[Demons outside!
Good fortune inside!
. . . or maybe just an excuse for not-at-all homesick teenagers to throw sweet-crunchy roasted soybeans around the rooms of the house (presumably to invite good fortune in and not just to make a mess), or at anyone who wants to play the part of a demon and be chased out. There's a few bowls of soybeans and paper oni masks around for those who want to join in on the fun.
Unfortunately, due to the absolutely deplorable state of the local supermarket, there's a decided lack of thick, unsliced sushi rolls. They tried, they really did. But as it turns out, defeat might not be a bad thing: instead of sushi, a large electric skillet and two platters dominate the dinner table. One is stacked high with sliced nappa cabbage, mushrooms, onion and cubes of firm tofu; the other has thin strips of beef, ready for the pan.
The first sizzle of cooking meat might just be enough to call out anyone still lingering away from the fun, but if not, at least two helpful birds will poke heads around doors. After that, it's an every-person-for-themselves battle of can you get that piece of meat just as it's finished cooking? Or will that mushroom be stolen just as the sweet soy sauce broth marinates it to perfection?
That's the fun of sukiyaki though, it's the best of family and celebratory meals. And there's been a lot worth celebrating.
Demons out. Good fortune in.]

Kaneda-san isn't the udon fairy. He's an udon maniac.
. . . still, it's a much less intimidating kind of date, like this. And udon . . . it's not bad . . . ]
Was he going to lea—
He's really that old!?
no subject
Maniacs probably glide, anyway.
But her reaction gets a smirk out of him as the water starts to boil, making his way to get the noodles.]]
Sometimes we wonder. Have you ever heard him talk? What kind of 12 year old talks like that, huh?
no subject
The kind . . . that had to grow up really quickly, I think.
[ The kind that didn't have anyone to shelter them while they grew; young wings that lost their down early from surviving the wind on their own. ]
. . . but I don't really know many twelve year olds.

They're not all like that--but that's probably cause Ken's a lot better at being an adult than some of us.
no subject
Have you known each other long?
no subject
[His fingers drum on the counter in thought.]
Since...August, I think.
no subject
But you said he was still here, like he'd been away . . .
The fridge would be a lot more empty if he was away though.
no subject
He kinda wanders around, you know? He's got a few houses to visit.
[But he always comes back here for the week, and that's the important part.]
