[he blinks, and then grins.]

Oh - yeah, that sounds great, actually! Thanks, Sheila.

[toesies]

[She smiles and starts heading to the kitchen.]

Then sit down and I'll be right back.

[agleam]

[he moves towards a chair, but:]

If you need help with anything, just yell!

[toesies]

I won't, but it's sweet of you to offer!

[Yelling through the kitchen door....... How has she kept her kitchen rights? A mystery.

Anyway, she eventually returns with... two bowls of soup? It's vegetable soup. All vegetarian? High sodium for hangovers, too. She sets one of the bowls down in front of him.]

... I probably should have asked ahead of time, but you don't have any food allergies, do you?

[agleam]

[he shakes his head.]

Nope! I can eat anything, and this smells delicious. Thanks, Sheila.

[toesies]

You're so welcome! Dig right in.

[She says this, but she also like. Picks a single vegetable up from her own portion and stares at it like she isn't sure what to do with it.

The soup tastes hecking delicious if Rupert tries it, though.]

[agleam]

[he does! and he grins afterwards.]

Wow, this is really... [a pause, as he notices.] Uh, Sheila, you okay?

[toesies]

Hm?

[She looks up, blinking, and then she waves him off.]

Oh, yeah, sorry. I just couldn't remember if I turned off the stove. But the staff will take care of it. [A beat.] I hope.

[She quickly shoves the spoon in her mouth.]

[agleam]

[a pause of his own.]

Uh, do you want me to check on that...?

[he says, despite not having kitchen privileges.]

[toesies]

[She shakes her head, covering her mouth with her hand. Her voice sounds odd, but she also has a hand over her mouth? So. You know.]

Nope, no, you'll just get kicked out. I'll be right back.

[And then she moves to stand, so she can scuttle off to the kitchen again. Help.]

[agleam]

Um... Okay.

[he looks very ??? as this happens, concerned as she runs off to the kitchen. you good, sheila...]

[toesies]

[She's fine? It's fine. She returns like a minute later.]

Crisis averted. The stove was off, and we have nothing to worry about.

[agleam]

Well, good! But are you sure you're alright? Was it still too hot, or something?

[toesies]

Yeah... I might have burned the roof of my mouth? But I'm also kind of drunk, so it won't be the only thing I regret in the morning.

[agleam]

—Oh, jeez. Do you want me to get you some water? Do you feel sick to your stomach or anything?
