[It's been a few days since Asch and Luke were split, and someone's finally recovered enough to wake up. There's a lot on his mind, but the first and foremost issue he takes care of, upon finding his journal by the nightstand, is:]

...I need something to eat.

[After which he starts flipping through the journal to see what he's missed, since he'll be damned if he's going to fall out of bed and crawl to the kitchen for it.]

[Man, is he ever spoiled today.] I'm alright. I just needed to rest, there's nothing wrong with me.

[Stella's sure he'll get other offers, so it isn't a big piece of chicken. She doesn't want him to get fat, after all.]

That's good to hear. [She'll find a chair to pull up so that she can sit by the bedside. She's a bit curious as to how he's like this now, but she won't ask unless she's sure it's a safe subject.] Well then, eat up.

[If she ever gets an explanation, it'll be about as deadpan and scientific as it can get.

He's grateful for the smaller portion, though; Guy will have fed him by now, chances are, so he's not starving. But Stella makes good food too, so he'll eat up right away.]

[And since she doesn't want to just stare at him while he eats, and she's pretty sure he doesn't too, so she'll find something else to do. Looking down at her hands and thinking about stuff is a good thing.]

[He pauses about halfway through- still hungry, but uncertain, like he ought to be talking to her but isn't sure of what to say. He's always been terrible at this.]

[She happened to catch that pause, and she looks up from her meal to give a small smile.]

Do you like it?

[dissonates]

[He shifts slightly on the bed, pushing the chicken around on the plate with his fork.] ...It's good. You shouldn't have gone to so much trouble.

[Action]

It really wasn't any trouble at all. [Honestly, she just really likes doing things for people. Even if it's as small as cooking a light meal.]

[He mumbles something vaguely agreeable and keeps eating, intent on finishing as soon as possible. Man, Stella, you are too good with quiet guys. :|b]

[Well, she is married to one. :|b Once he's finished, she takes the plate away.]

You know, for a moment... I thought I was hearing things.

[Action]

[dissonates]

[He blinks at that, a little puzzled.] ...What...?

[Action]

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

When you first spoke, saying that you were hungry. I thought I was hearing things I wanted to hear.

[She pauses, then looks at him with a hint of a smile.] I'm happy it didn't turn out that way.

[dissonates]

[He hesitates briefly, meeting her gaze, then looks away awkwardly.] You're too easily pleased.

[Though he's glad of it.]

[Action]

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

[And with a giggle:] It makes me easier to live with.

[Action]

[dissonates]

....It makes it easier on those who know you, too. [Well, it's sort of a thank you.]
