“ hey, look at me. i’m slowing you down, we both know it. it’s okay. i’ll hide and wait for back-up; you get yourself out of here. “ - kaiyo to ryoko

"No, absolutely not!" Ryoko shook her head, still attempting to catch her breath from them having to run from the enemies they were facing. This wasn't supposed to happen! There was supposed to be back-up here already, where was everyone?! "I'm not leaving you!"

"And what if they don't let me come back?! If they deem it unsafe?! Either both of us get out of here, or neither. Between the two of us, your ability is more suited for a fight. I'm the less likely one to make it out on my own, but what I can do is restrain them for a bit to give you time. Just enough along the way to be able to stay ahead of me."

“ i’ll get blood on your shirt… “ - kaiyo to ryoko

Ryoko rolled her eyes. "Yes, because I'm oh so worried about this shirt getting stained from a mission. That's why I wore it." She remarked playfully, moving to shift against him in order to slide an arm around him to help support him on his feet. "How do you feel? Think you can make it all the way back, or should we get somewhere safer and try to contact one of the others for help? Plus we'll have to make sure to get your wound tended to first thing..."

“Darling, don’t be afraid.” - kaiyo to ryoko

"Don't be afraid?" She scoffed playfully. "Whoever said I was afraid? If anything, maybe I should be saying that to you." Gritting her teeth a bit as she tightened the ropes of cursed energy wrapped around an enemy in order to restrain them. "Though if you get some time, some help would be great over here." She admitted. "They're a bit stronger than I was expecting, making it harder to keep 'em restrained."

Which didn't matter because moments later, they broke free enough to take control of the ropes, sending her sliding across the floor before she had time to dodge. "Never mind, I guess." That was definitely gonna hurt in the morning.

Ryoko picks up the currently empty plate, giving a nod before putting a little extra food on it before returning it with a smile, glad the girl had enjoyed the food she had cooked. At the question, she hums while thinking it over. "I think I can handle it. Thank you for asking though, I appreciate it. Just get your fill, and I'll handle the dishes once you're done." Once Mimiko has her plate, she turns to begin getting the containers she would need in order to put up the food to put away in the fridge for leftovers. "And if you ever want a specific food, you're welcome to ask me and I can cook it for you when I have time if you'd like."

“you're wearing my shirt.” (Geto to ryoko)

"Hm?" Ryoko hummed, glancing away from cooking breakfast to make eye contact with him. Blinking, she glanced down at the oversized shirt she was currently wearing before playfully laughing. "That I am. Must of just grabbed it while still half asleep a few minutes ago." It was a simple mistake, really. The two of them had similar clothes, so in her defense, it was a reasonable mistake to make.

Although Ryoko knew that Geto knew better than to think she'd let it go without a joke. After all, he had noticed it anyways. "Though I don't think it's really a problem, but if you want, I could just take it off. Or if you just wanted to see me with little clothing on, you could just say that, you know~ Not like you didn't see me without clothes on last night, after all."

Flipping the food in the pan so it wouldn't burn, she hummed for a second before moving to grab some seasoning to put in to make sure the flavor hadn't risked being cooked out. "Unless you realize you like seeing me in your clothes. I'll let you tell me for sure." Even despite the tease, there's a playful smile and a giggle.
