While they discussed, Zhe stirred the pot before cutting a cheese wedge into smaller pieces and adding it to the mix.

''Should about be done'' he stirred again, making sure the cheese would melt and spread around. ''If you could give me your bowls I'll fill them right up! Oh and if you want extra cheese on the side or on top don't hesitate to ask.''
Still, he and Kichi passed over their bowls. "I would love some extra cheese."

"As you say, Jiyo-sama," she said and then got her portion, temperate and appropriate with minimal cheese. She tasted it and said, "This is delicious, Wu-san, thank you for such a meal."

Sora held his own bowl out.

"If you could, heavy on the cheese, Wu-san. It's good for a chill day."

Zhe gladly filled the bowls and produced two more cheese wedges for Ukyou and Sora, one stark yellow and the other egg white.

''The yellow one is sharper and more intense, the lighter one is softer.''

Sora tucked in without much ceremony, although his table manners had improved considerably from the days when he'd eaten his fish raw out of the stream.

"As your prior efforts lead me to expect, Wu-san, excellent. Especially on a day like this one."

Zhe was not used to praise of the sort but he was glad his travel cooking brought some satisfaction to his companions

At the mention of Takurou, Sora nodded with a smile.

"Hopefully he handles the cooking for Shirayuki's wedding. It's already going to be a good party, but..."

"If my wife were here, Ukyou-san, she'd probably be very quietly looking after all of us."

There was no banter in his tone.

"And if I hadn't saddled her with two more children, I would heartily wish she could be here. She's braver than I am, wiser than I am, and undeniably more socially adept than I am."
