[ they have come so far... he pats tsukasa's head because yes, yes, you egomaniac. but it's okay. ]

You know I don't mind, but I get it.
I'm... fine, I think. The river healed me but I'm still kinda tired.
Using our Personas always drains us of our energy if we don't rest between big fights, and since we're connected, the hits it took are ones I took.
But it's nothing I can't handle.

I see... hm. That does make sense.

[As much as any magic makes sense.]

Then! Shall I bring by a meal? It is important to eat properly to recover your energy.

[ magic is confusing, he knows. but he does look curious. he's half-tempted to tell tsukasa he doesn't have to do that and go to the trouble, except he thinks tsukasa needs a job to feel better about what happened so he settles for a nod. ]

I AM curious about your cooking after I've already tried your baking, I gotta admit.

[Yosuke is right... Tsukasa does need a job and this will make him feel better.

He perks right up when Yosuke agrees, nodding eagerly.]

Prepare to be dazzled, then! Do you have any specific requests?

[ they're both the same assigned golden retriever. ]

"Something warm" probably isn't really specific, huh?

Not particularly, but it does help narrow it down a little.

[With a laugh.]

Cream stew? Nikujaga? Karaage?

[ all three of those seem to ping him in different ways judging by the way he perks up immediately. ]

Nikujaga? Do we even have the ingredients?

[ it's a little effort, and yet. ]

I would think so! The ingredients are pretty common, after all.

[So long as there's like... dashi and soy sauce and mirin, they should be okay.]

Would you like to join me in the kitchen? If you want to rest, I can also bring it back to you when I've finished making it.

[ he has no trust for purgatory. but there's an eager nod and he pulls back a little to sit upright, scooting toward the edge of the bed and setting his guitar aside gently. ]

Nah, if I'm left here alone I'll get bored. We can go together.

[ also he is simply needy. ]

[I'm making the executive decision that all of this stuff exists in the kitchen because Tsukasa has theoretically been cooking here for weeks and I can't retcon all of that.]

Then let's go together!

[Cheerfully. He knows Yosuke's been healed up, but he offers him a hand up automatically anyway.]

[ you're so real for this actually, who am i to stop you.

nearly just as automatically, he takes the hand to haul himself up, a little squeeze of gratitude before he nudges tsukasa forward. lead the way, my guy. he will follow. ]

[Off to the kitchen with them! Tsukasa keeps up a steady stream of chatter as they go because he is a Yapper.

And once they're there, he starts to pull out all of the ingredients they need, humming.]

We may need to substitute rice for the shirataki noodles, if you are amenable to that.

[ he appreciates the yap because he cannot yap :(

he leans against the counter for a moment to watch tsukasa go, but he does wander a little closer when he speaks and scribbles on his notebook again. ]

I'm good with that. I like rice just as well.
Want me to get it started?
