Rakuen smiled when he finished, her hands feeling much better and she had no worry now about them. She was confident Crowlin knew what he was doing and her hands will make the full recovery.... she just hoped she'd heal after today, or else she also hoped that the bandages didn't get in the way of her music playing.

She didn't notice him still holding her hand too, getting used tot he warm touch her mind didn't ever think to pull away, just kept listening to him as he mostly talked, offering her his place to spend the rest of the day in. Rakuen, feeling obliged to since he went out on a limb to not only save her, but treated her wounds and was being such a humble host... how could she say no?

With a big breath in she exhaled, looking rather relaxed she spoke rather informally, a good sign of getting comfortable around Crowlin, "Indeed it was. Umn, yeah I think I'll stay. Y-yknow, just until my hands aren't so tender and raw feeling." she said as she gave her stay reason, though that wasn't exactly the reason as she looked to him, interest was at least on her face. Then suddenly an awkward silence came upon them and Rakuen blushed, not really sure as to why it happened, until she looked down to her hand still in his. And yet she didn't move her hand, she just looked at it for a long moment, as if trying to realize what she was looking at. It looked... right, to her.

However her ears picked up the sound of Crowlin and she looked up with a rather pink hue on her cheeks, moving her hand out gently but rather quick, now a bit embarrassed. ".... oh umn, you don't have to listen to my stuff. It's... not that good, I should really just redo that album. I've gotten better from... then..."

Rakuen looked back up and looked to Crowlin, just seeing him now just... made her heart race. She was feeling worried now, in the back of her head. At first she was getting comfortable with Crowlin, now she feels nervous? What was going on? She didn't understand why.

"So, umn... what do you got for lunch... you don't have to."

Crowlin was actually a little relieved that Rakuen had accepted his offer. He was a little worried about her and wanted to make sure that she had a chance to let go of some of the stress of the day thus far. A police officer pointing a gun at your back and yelling at you was taxing on a person to say the least. Having a closed off place to decompress for a while would definitely help. That said is seemed to him that Rakuen was settling in alright, her smile a welcome sight in his home as nodded to her.

“Sure thing. And you can take the bandages off tonight before you go to bed. Letting the skin breathe while you sleep will help it heal faster, and I can lend you some more bandaging if you need it.”

His eyes looked down for a moment when he realized what Rakuen was looking at, their hands still together, and it brought a red tint to his tan skin. He closed his own as Rakuen gently pulled hers back and Crowlin tried to pass it off an innocent grin as he stood up from the couch and picked up the first aid kit.

“If that’s true, then with how you sound now, I’m sure your old stuff sounds good. It’d give me an idea of what to look forward to when you release another album too.”

He turned and made his way into the kitchen area, putting the kit back under the sink before moving to the fridge, having an idea for what he could make them for lunch. He pulled out a few slices of cheese and some butter, then grabbed the bread and a can from the pantry cabinet, and finally a large round pan and a regular pot which he placed on the stove. He looked back to Rakuen on the couch with a smile.

“No trouble. I’m not the best cook ever, but I think I have just the thing for us. You can look around and make yourself at home in the meantime~”

Rakuen couldn't help but to blush at Crowlin's nice words about her music, even if he haven't even heard any of it, she felt what he said was very genuine of him. Sure, he has heard her sing at the Kingsbury Cafe, but the album she thought wasn't as good as she was right now. Why was Crowlin being so nice like that to her? No one was this kind.

The look of what he pulled out Rakuen was curious, but she couldn't say no to a home cooked meal and the level of kindness Crowlin shower made her smile and nod, "I'm sure it'll come out fine. Thank you, Crowlin." she said once more, the simple yet grateful smile shown on her face said in volumes how much she was enjoying everything Crowlin was doing for her.

Not everyday that someone would come to save another. it's not common that that same person bring you to his home, just to tend to their wounds and give them their home as a place to recover. Rakuen never knew such generosity and kindness existed, and by now she knew he wasn't fooling her. There was a trustful air about him, and it made Rakuen feel warm.

Walking about hearing the calm clatter of cooking in his kitchen Rakuen looked around once more, seeing the stuff askew but put away as it should be, the half attempted effort of a quickly made bed, and found herself looking out of the fantastic view outside, making her sigh silently as she stopped folding her arms and took in the sights, even if the sun was gone and the clouds threatened to downpour, it was still beautiful. "You have a wonderful place, Crowlin."

Crowlin nodded in appreciation for Rakuen’s confidence in his cooking ability. He wouldn’t necessarily describe himself as a cook however, figuring that he had learned enough from his parents over the years to keep himself fed with simple dishes if he didn’t simply eat out instead. This one was one of his favorites ever since he was a child however, whether it was an afternoon snack or lunch when he was sick, it always made him feel better and he hoped that extended to Rakuen as well.

As he turned on the stove, he hoped that his guest didn’t think he was being too forward. She seemed receptive to what he’d offered so far, but he knew that Novus wasn’t always the most welcoming place. That was how he was raised though, by his mother and father as well as being around families like the one of his good friends. Even with what ultimately happened to them, and that they were the ones who started him down the path of a vigilante hacker, they had always welcomed him into their home with a smile.

Crowlin opened the can and emptied the contents into the pot along with a slightly lesser amount of water, stirring them together and letting them heat up. He then took the stick of butter and pressed the end against the pan and coated it before setting two pieces of bread down with 2 slices of cheese on top of each. He waited a little while before placing another piece of bread on each of the now complete sandwiches and flipping them over to wait for the second side to become as golden brown and toasted as the first.

He looked back to Rakuen again, taking a deep breath and enjoying the smell of the food wafting into the air as he admired the sight of her looking out the window onto the city.

“Thanks. If I’d known I’d have company, I would have cleaned up a bit more.”
