[fourlevels]

I would too actually! The cafe near here is good, but I miss the cooking in the hot springs.

[beautiful_monster]

None of the restaurants here are as good as the food back home. [He says, having been to exactly two restaurants so far.]

[fourlevels]

Oh! There's supposedly a Russian restaurant here. Well, in the next town over. I've been wanting to go there to try it.

[beautiful_monster]

Oh yeah...the one that ambassador recommended?

[fourlevels]

Mmm, that's the one.

[beautiful_monster]

We could go for lunch some time.

[fourlevels]

You think? I was thinking more for dinner ...

[ A romantic one at that. Maybe he and Yuuri could finally go on that date they've been putting off. ]

[beautiful_monster]

Dinner would be fine too, I guess. As long as we're getting to eat, who cares?

[fourlevels]

I guess so, thought it changes the mood slightly ... hmmm.

Ah—but I think the meat's done!

[beautiful_monster]

It does—? Ah!

[Yuri pulls the meat off the heat before it can burn and dumps it into another bowl. Now it's time to toss the vegetables in for a quick saute before everything gets put together.]

[fourlevels]

Ah, just enough to cook the onions?

[beautiful_monster]

[He nods.]

It helps the flavor a lot.

[fourlevels]

Okay!

[ Hopefully Yuri will keep an eye on Viktor so he doesn't burn the onions and vegetables instead. ]

[beautiful_monster]

[Of course Yuri's keeping an eye on it. Getting the onions the right color is the most important part. And when it's done it goes into the bowl with the meat.]

Ready to start filling them?

[fourlevels]

Is there a proper way to do it or ... ?

[beautiful_monster]

You just flatten out a little dough, put a spoonful of filling in the center, and pinch it closed.

[He demonstrates making one while he explains. ...He is also shaping it to look like a cat's head.]

[fourlevels]

[ Viktor grins at it. ]

Just like that huh?

[beautiful_monster]

Yes. Exactly like this.

[Adorable cat head pastries are serious business.]

[fourlevels]

[ Okay but what about poodle-shaped ones instead. ]

[beautiful_monster]

[Poodle ones are BLASPHEMY]

Yours look lumpy.

[fourlevels]

[ NO U ]

I wanted to add floppy ears to it!

[beautiful_monster]

Cats don't have ears like that!

[fourlevels]

That's why this one is a poodle!

[beautiful_monster]

[He snorts dismissively.]

Poodles are lame.

[fourlevels]

[ Viktor gives a DRAMATIC GASP ]

Don't listen to him, Makkachin! Yura is just too young to know better!
