No sense in soaking long in the bath. Go get ready for dinner.

After soaking in the tub for a while to clear your mind of lews thoughts, you exit the bath. Outside the bath, you change into the male yukata that Tsunami put near the entrance. Since the clock on the wall indicate that it's almost time for dinner, you go to the dining room. There, you see two empty bowls with chopsticks set next to them, some casseroles of differing sizes, each one having different foods in them. There's noodle, boiled eggs cut in half, beef slices, chopped onions and mushrooms. You also notice a warmer being on the middle of the table.

It's then Tsunami appear from the kitchen, wearing an apron over her clothing, carrying a middle-sized pot with glove hands. Seeing that whatever she is carrying is heavy and hot, you approach her. "Let me help," you say as you coat your hands with chakra and take the pot from her. "Where do I put this?"

"At the food warmer."

You place the pot at the food warmer as Tsunami puts away her apron. "It's nice," you comment.

"The ramen? Well, I know you like ramen and since the weather can get cold at night, it's perfect."

Tsunami seems to get a wrong idea about your compliment. While you like ramen, you're actually appreciating the sight of her wearing an apron. The apron that Tsunami wears makes her look more comforting, warm and loving. Perhaps watching Teuchi and his daughter Ayame wearing aprons while preparing food for you at Ichiraku Ramen that causes you to have the same feeling while watching Tsunami.

Maybe it's better that you leave the situation as it is. Both of you seat yourself at the table and say your graces.
