[Della, what are you doing out there? Is everyone else in the commercial district gonna stare?

But for now, Kotori's too tired and hungry to care anymore. After some mulling over what SHE wants, she goes over to go grab some bowls, chopsticks (and some silverware if Della wants that instead), and her donabe, and set them on the counter. And putting the kettle on the stove for some tea. Kotori has a feeling she'll need the caffeine.]


Cook, Nabe-chan, cook! [Very quickly, the pot begins to fill up with fluffy white rice until it looks to be enough for two people.] Stop, Nabe-chan! [With a wooden paddle she scoops the rice into two (very tall) mounds in two of the bowls, and once the pot looks clear of rice, Kotori asks the pot to cook again. This time light but savory miso soup bubbles up out of nowhere, loaded with vegetables and slices of pork shoulder. One more round, and the two largest bowls are filled with a simple but very delicious stew with squid, taro, and okra. After setting the bowls and utensils where they should be, Kotori takes the donabe back to the kitchen to set the leftover stew in the ice box. (Because leftover stew after the flavors have mingled is AMAZING.)]

Okay, breakfast is ready! Do you want some tea to go with it, Della-san?
