[ it is a good time to run into her. she has been so open to him and he's not thick enough to miss how hikage was important to her so... he'll tentatively and tiredly trying to get her attention. ]
[ he'll nod, slightly pleased? once again, soba ends up being a success... how weird.
but guess onto the kitchen they go for giyuu to make some soba for them to eat. he's guessing he should make a lot given that it's a contest. really that just means a lot of noodles and a huge pot of broth...? ]
[ giyuu is friends(??) with one of those kitchen guards probably, so even if they were here it'd be fine. maybe?? but uh, here goes giyuu making soba noodles and the broth with the ingredients that are hopefully found.
it's like dashi broth and buckwheat noodles. that should be easy enough, yeah? anyway here he goes. noodles in one pot (large) and he's throwing things together for the broth in another.
though since steph is just hanging out he kind of gives her a task? he doesn't know how to navigate this. ]
Watch the noodles to make sure they don't overcook.
[ she seems to be pleased to be given something to do... in general she does not like letting someone else do all the work, but also it's good to keep your mind occupied.

Any sort of things in particular?
no subject
[ as in, she's fairly easy going about these kinds of things
especially when it's an obvious cheer up attempt. ]
no subject
hmm. ]
I don't think I'd be able to keep up with any kind of exercise.
[ he's frowning because of how tired he is. normally he'd be up for anything of that sort but now... he really wishes he could take a goddamn nap. ]

While the other location was here, I enjoyed watching the koi at the pond.
[ but that's not exactly exciting or even helpful in terms being a distraction. also, it's gone. rip giyuu's entire aesthetic. ]
What are your thoughts of eating contests?
no subject
[ that is her helpful opinion. ]
