[Whenever you come back to the lab, Natsumi has the place all decorated and nice -- string lights and little paper lanterns, with a few things moved to accommodate an (already set up) table and chairs and everything. She even went to some effort to look nice. Birthdays should be special, after all.]

Hey, I am the boss, though. I have a whole crew of people who listen to me!

[ grinning and sitting himself down ]

[ridestherider]

We can't all be that lucky, sadly.

Go ahead, dig in.

[powerisyours]

Hmm, maybe one day.

[ TUCKING RIGHT IN OH GOD THIS IS DELICIOUS ]

[ridestherider]

[You're adorable. But she is glad you enjoy it, at least.]

[powerisyours]

[ he might even be reaching for seconds within a few minutes

through a mouth full of food: ]

S'realgoo'!

[ridestherider]

[She's still working on what she has, but she is laughing a little.]

I'm glad you like it.

[powerisyours]

[ this is totes delicious ]

It's from you. Of course I like it.

[ridestherider]

Did you even know I cooked before this?

[powerisyours]

No, but if it's Natsumi, I know she put her whole heart into it, and that's what makes it taste good.

[ridestherider]

I tried.

[powerisyours]

And you succeeded quite well.

[ may still have food in his mouth ]

[ridestherider]

[Laughing again.]

Swallow, then talk.

[powerisyours]

[ swallowing ]

I might have to ask you to cook more often.

[ridestherider]

I'm sure we can work something out.

[powerisyours]

You feed me, I'll do the heavy lifting.

[ridestherider]

Heavy lifting?

[powerisyours]

Surely, someday, there will be something you're unable to lift on your own and I'll need to save the day.

[ridestherider]

Sometimes I forget you're like a very compact version of the Hulk.

[powerisyours]

I met him, once. I daresay I'm better looking.

[ridestherider]

Seriously?

[powerisyours]

He used to be here in camp.

[ridestherider]

I miss everything.

[powerisyours]

I suppose there's always a chance he could come back?

[ridestherider]

Should we really hope the Hulk comes to a place this stressful?

[powerisyours]

I couldn't say! I'd only seen him as Mister Banner.
