[ ...Their conversations have usually been a wildly array of differing subjects, haven't they? That said, there is a certain subject lingering in the back of his mind, based upon their most recent previous interaction before this.

He does hear the comment about practicality, and well, he isn't exactly someone who would have considered that...though, he also isn't used to cooking for other people. Hmm, he feels like he might be missing something, but oh well, he will leave that sort of stuff to Shinji. ]

[ He's jesting. Maybe.

Either way, his nosy self is taking a glance of what he can see of the journal...and then he sees he's being side-eyed. ]

I've never made tempura before. So, as long as you guide me through that, I'm certain we'll have no problems or impromptu food fights.

[ Jing Yuan is definitely kidding about food fights. The kitchen is sacred, after all (but Shinjiro doesn't know he's joking...) ]
