[who knows, indeed. yuri can't answer what happened to flynn's tastebuds; he's been trying to figure this out for years to no avail. so he'll focus on what's important here—saving sorey from the sandwich.
they're running out of time, after all.
so yuri will just... casually... knock the sandwich on the floor...
and let the contents spill everywhere.]
Ah—crap. [just go along with this, sorey. it'll totally work. he raises his voice just a bit. gotta fake it like he means it.] Didn't mean to kick your chair, Sorey... Guess I really gotta fry up some rice to make it up to you, huh?
[w.o.w. rude x10!!! but it's a ruse that works flawlessly. poor innocent flynn has no idea of the evils going on behind his back while finishing up packing stuff up for sorey.
then the 'chair kick' happens and concern flares up immediately. that noise didn't sound good! yuri's voice carrying to the kitchen only reaffirms that it can't be good at all. what did he do this time? and is his stupid ass okay? and please don't let sorey be hurt.]
Yuri? Is everything all right?
[give him a second to finish up and he'll see the damage for himself.]
[ He looks shocked at what Yuri does at first, and then he catches on to what's happening.
Oh gosh, Yuri, you're asking him to act?? This better be over quickly, then, because even Sorey's aware he's a terrible liar and will probably mess this up. So he's kind of nervous about that, but he responds — in an awkward-sounding, louder voice. It's noticeable he's talking a little differently — a bit more stiffly. ]
O-Oh, uh — yeah! That sure was a nasty fall! B-But it was clearly an accident! [ Yes. Very believable. ] I ... hope your foot is okay! From kicking my chair like that! What matters is not the food, but your safety!
yuri wasn't totally prepared for sorey to be the son of a provincial lard the worst act on the face of the planet. but sure, he can roll with it.]
My foot's fine. It's your lunch that suffered. [please just stop saying words, sorey. he's got this.
when flynn comes back into the room, he'll see the sandwich spilled across the floor, and yuri lightly shaking his foot out.] Nobody's hurt, unless you count the sandwich taking a spill. Accidentally kicked the foot of Sorey's chair when I moved, that's all.
[sorey... you're just lucky flynn's on the same gullible level as sergei.
this is why he sees nothing odd or off about sorey's acting. then again, that may also be because of what's said. the mostly packaged food gets left on the counter top as he rushes out to see the damage...
carpet has marinara and meatballs from hell all over it. yuri's doing a terrible rendition of the hokie pokie. sorey no longer has a sandwich. flynn frowns heavily at yuri while weighing whether or not to send over a healing spell for that foot and sends off a quick first aid within a few seconds. dumbass best friend who ruined a meal he may be, but that doesn't mean leaving him to suffer..]
Yuri, you need to be more careful.
[then an apologetic, if seemingly kicked puppy like expression comes sorey's way. what a meal that he didn't even properly get to eat. TWICE. he feels so bad about it and about not making extra for a backup sandwich.]
I'm truly sorry for Yuri's clumsiness ruining your sandwich. I lack the ingredients to make you another, I'm afraid.
[he sounds so upset about it, too. no one needs to suffer thsi much sandwich trama!!]
[ Okay, okay. He's no longer lying now, so he can be genuine again. At least there's that. (Thank god Flynn's just as gullible as Sergei, because that could've ended badly.)
But ... it's a godsend that Flynn doesn't have enough ingredients left to make another sandwich (probably because he put whole containers of them into the meatballs, lord), but Sorey can't let him know he thinks that. He ... does feel bad about the sandwich having to be ruined for his safety, though. But he'll try and ignore that for now. Even though Flynn sounds so upset. ]
H-Hey, it's not your fault! It's just a bad day for sandwiches, I guess.
[ Seeing as two of them have now been ruined. He'd suggest they do this again sometime, but ... that seems like a bad idea. ]
[he's not going to deny the blame. even if what he did really isn't what flynn thinks it is at all, he still intentionally knocked the sandwich over, so it's not like he can say it's someone else's fault.
he can own up to it.]
I'll just have a to make some extra, right? We don't have enough for sandwiches, but I can still whip something else up. [he says with a shrug. the truth of the matter is that he's been trying to save sorey from flynn's cooking all along.
...now he just has an excuse to expand this into a bit more of a fulfilling meal than plain old fried rice. he's got this, really.]
[at least yuri's taking responsibility for it surprisingly well. it feels in poor taste (hah) to have sorey need to wait for a meal after all this, but letting him leave without that promised food feels worse. after considering that for a moment, flynn nods.]
Please do. I cleaned up after myself for the most part so you should have whatever you need ready to use.
[the only exceptions to the cleaning being a few dishes that failed to get done thanks to sorey arriving. so go forth, master chef lowell, and save the day with cooking that at least won't kill an innocent shepherd. as soon as he gives yuri his blessing, flynn turns toward sorey.]
As long as you're fine with waiting a few minutes for a second meal, that is.
[he doesn't want to force sorey to stay if he doesn't want to! the poor guy already suffered more than enough.]
[ Ah, they're both so kind to him ... even though one of them's kindness backfired significantly. At least from Yuri's reaction to Flynn's food, Sorey can tell Yuri isn't the same. He still ... feel kind of bad, though. They're going through so much for him to just eat something. ]
Ah, don't worry, it's fine! I mean, as long as this's okay with you.
I was gonna make something anyway for myself. No big deal.
[yuri shrugs—you gotta do what you gotta do sometimes. but he'll just be making his way into the kitchen to take care of this situation. he's got this, really.]
[flynn gives a bright smile to emphasize how okay all this is. sorey will have a good meal! this he swears.
...
but it still should be his responsibility to make up for the first sandwich. a barely eaten sandwich doesn't count for much. this is why he turns toward yuri with the most innocent question.]
[he really just hates burdening yuri with all the cooking all the time! hm, maybe he'll cook dinner tomorrow night to make up for it. yeah, best plan!! (sorry, yuri). for now, at least, flynn's given up trying to get into the kitchen and more than happy to keep sorey company.]
It shouldn't be too long and I'm certain you'll enjoy it. [bright smile] Yuri's cooking is far superior to my own.
[which isn't saying much, but it really is good!! and way less lethal.]
[ Hahah ... Yeah, that's not a difficult thing to achieve. But he trusts Yuri, and hopefully that trust won't be betrayed a second time today. ]
Can't wait to try it then!
[ Meanwhile, he's hoping his stomach doesn't start to awkwardly growl. He came here on a mostly empty stomach, and he'd feel kind of bad if Flynn had to go through hearing that after all that ... ]
[it's for the better this way, yuri can be left alone to actually cook. he's pretty quick and efficient with using what they've got in the fridge to cook something up.]
Food's up! [it won't be too long before yuri emerges from the kitchen with two bowls of rice (he can go back to get his own in a minute). it's all pretty simple—rice, peas, onions, bacon and some shredded pickled ginger on one side for a little extra flavor.
definitely a hell of a lot safer than whatever it was flynn was trying to serve.]
[chatting and eating (yes, he eats that sandwich AND finishes it) happens while waiting for the food. flynn'll happily eat whatever yuri brings out despite the sandwich. honestly, yuri's cooking is too good to pass up.
needless to say, his face lights up a little upon seeing the meal. so tasty looking! and not poisonous so sorey ought to love it. no trust betraying food a second time.]
[ Yes ... excellent ... this is much safer. He's so glad when he sees it appears normal (though Flynn's did, and he couldn't eat that ...). He's amazed Flynn's managed to finish his sandwich, but he won't say anything about it.
And once he's been given his bowl, he peers in it ... yep, looks safe. At least with rice, you can tell what's in it. ]
[good. this is good. sorey looks excited (and therefore safe from flynn), and therefore... yuri's done what was needed here. even if they had to sacrifice a whole sandwich to get there.
(your efforts will not be in vain, terrible meatball sub...)
regardless, yuri disappears to the kitchen before coming back with a bowl of his own rice, settling in at one of the table's seat's.]
How is it? [he's sure it's fine, but it never hurts to ask.]
[flynn happily digs in!! that meatball sub was good, but this is arguably better. ...if a little bland. hmm do they have any pepper left? or may he could toss a couple jalapenos in here in a sec...
either way, the question gains a bright smile in return.]
Delicious.
[there's times when flynn doesn't mind stroking yuri's ego and this is one of them. the man knows how to cook, nuff said. if only his cooking attempts could be this good. granted, his cooking abilities aren't bad, but they feel as though they don't hold a candle to some of yuri's. this is way better of a SORRY FOR RUINING YOUR SANDWICH, SOREY meal.
[ Sorey will happily dig in, too! He's so hungry, he can't really help his ... sort of sloppy eating. It's not so bad his manners need to be brought into question, but after the first bite, he certainly pigs out a little. He's a teen boy, what do you expect. ]
Yeah, it's really good! Thanks, Yuri!
[ He appreciates your saving him like this ... So nice ... ]
[naturally, he's going to downplay it. fried rice isn't anything all that special, especially when he's doing this in an effort to compensate for what a disaster flynn was making of things.
at least he's not bothered by the way sorey's eating? it's cool, really.]
Had to make up for the screw-up somehow. [nailed it.]
[the digging in doesn't bug flynn, either. it's good food and worth enjoying.
but if yuri won't gloat about his skills then flynn'll do the honors for him. he smiles brightly over at sorey after swallowing this mouthful (talking with a full mouth is rude and all!).]
Yuri used to cook all the time for me when we were younger. He does the same here.
[something that flynn really needs to pay him back for one of these days.]
Despite his own claims, he's a fairly skilled cook.
I think you're both making this bigger than it needs to be.
[yes, even now, he'll still try to downplay it. it isn't about skill,s he doesn't think so at least. yuri knows he can make a good enough meal, but it's not as if he sees anything he's doing here as notable or exceptional.
he learned out of necessity and stick with it, that's all.]
