Topic: To Cross That Line (Namari x Missylooni)

[Namari]

She looks carefully at him, " since when do you have a tail? And your ears are deeply connected again. Have you spoken with Nikiri?"

[MissyLooni]

Takana turns bright red and his heart rate jumps, "UM. Uh... we-well uh. This... this morning is when the tail... showed up. Your son spent the night and uh... when I woke up it was connected to me. I quickly hid it before he woke up though. And yes, I did text nikiri and he said as long as it's not killing me then it could wait until he was less busy. "

[Namari]

She slowly raises an eyebrow, " i see." she pulls out her phone and dials Nikiri, " your mother is fine, i just had a question for you."

[MissyLooni]

Nikiri blink and frowns a little, "alright, what is your question?"

[Namari]

" were you aware that Takana has sprouted a tail and that his ears look as if they are a natural part of him?"

[MissyLooni]

"Well uh yes. But.  BUT.  He did inform me that he can still remove the ears and that the tail goes away once the ears are removed. I figured whatever it was it could wait until I had a quick minute."

[Namari]

" The tail is fully connected to his spine, i can see the nerve system, i can barely tell those ears are naturally his. have you spoken to your little sewer friend?"

[MissyLooni]

"I- um. No. To be honest I have not. I have been incredibly busy."

[Namari]

" would it not be wise to ask the expert on the subject if it is okay to leave it for a bit or not? allow one of your sisters to take on some of the responsibilities. call him. and if he deems it an urgent matter as i suspect he might, come in the back door."

[MissyLooni]

There's a bit of a pause over the line before the sound of nikiri exhaling through his nose can be heard and he clears his throat, "very well, my apologies, I'll contact Luna and then contact my friend."

[Namari]

" im aware you're busy but we really cannot afford for anything to happen to this particular individual. i suggest you take care of this presently." she hangs up and sighs. " i will be having my meal as normal to avoid rousing my dear Imogen's concerns, but Nikiri will likely be arriving soon and i will see that things are dealt with so you may go." she heads to the managers office and chats with her briefly before heading back out to sit back at the table, " so sorry for that my dear, you know i worry about my dear son."

[MissyLooni]

Imogen smiles at korri and hums softly, "it's quite alright korri. The work us mothers have to put in is always overlooked, don't you think?"

Takana watches her leave and huffs quietly before rolling up his sleeves and going back to work as normal

[Namari]

Korri chuckles, " oh always, i swear we're the foundations behind our families keeping everything from falling apart, but recognition rarely comes our way. cheers to us mothers." she lifts her tea and takes a sip.

[MissyLooni]

Imogen smiles and lifts her cup as well before taking a sip as well.

After about 15 minutes takana finishes making the new food items and looks at them carefully, silently critiquing his work before nodding in approval.
He would rather have izanagi bring the food out to them but... they would ask what it was since it's new and no one in this cafe would know what the fuck to even say.
Which means he has to deliver it...
He gently plates the dishes and gets then on a large tray before carrying it out to the table, "finished, sorry for the wait."
He sets the plates down, "I have made not only a mushroom wellington but also a cold style soup so no need to blow on it and slurp. The wellington of course has mushrooms, but it also has sweet potato, butternut squash, kale, and farro. Wrapped up in a puff pastry and baked until golden brown, it is one of my favorite things to eat as a kid. And on the side is a soup that contains mango, ginger, blended onion and lime juice with just a hint of chili pepper to get it a tiny pinch of spice but not much. I know a cold soup sounds weird but it's very refreshing and both meals have a ton of vitamins and nutrients."

Imogen practically drools as she looks at the steaming savory pastry in front of her, "oh it smells wonderful."

[Namari]

Korri talks quietly with her friend until Takana comes out with their meals and she raises an eyebrow, " oh it looks wonderful. consider me impressed. you have to let me have a bite of that to try it Imogen. you have my thanks for such thoughtful meals."
