[RL with Tamaki-Saving Dinner!]

[dreamingoflove]

After getting a ride from someone on the community Giselle arrived at Tamaki's home in Paris. She hadn't been to France before but she found it quite lovely, and certainly wouldn't mind coming more often. She approached the door of the home and knocked a few times. Her usual smile upon her face, Giselle was ready and eager to help Tamaki prepare dinner.

Tamaki opened the door himself; they still lived in the manor of his mother's family, but the cook had the day off and the butler was in back being the gardener, and in any case this was an emergency. He looked rather panicked as he swung the door open, shouting, "I'VE RUN OUT OF PAPER TOWELS, AND THERE IS STILL SOUP."

Giselle gasped and took a step back at Tamaki's sudden, not to mention loud, greeting.

"Oh dear, that just won't do," she said with a small frown. Thankfully, she had brought a long a bag of cleaning supplies. "I have plenty of towels and sponges so it will be okay!"

"Good! Thank you so much!" He let out a relieved sigh as he led her back into the house, and warned her before swinging open the kitchen door, "This is a scene of utter carnage that may frighten you to your very core!"

He flung the door open and jumped aside as if expecting something to fly out at him; half the floor was still covered in an approximation of chicken noodle soup, and the trash can was full to brimming with soggy paper towels.

Giselle followed Tamaki to the kitchen, expecting to find noddles and broth covering every inch of the kitchen, and was pleasantly surprised when it was only to floor.

"This won't take any time at all," she told him with a smile as she pulled out a couple of towels from her bag. "But how is your burn doing?"

He does overestimate levels of destruction sometimes, yes. "It's all right!" he said cheerfully, gallantly taking her bag from her and putting it on the table. He lifted his arm to show her the red mark on his elbow. "I may have, aha, overestimated it just a little..."

"That's quite alright," she said as she rolled up her sleeves. "I'm sure it was shock!"

She knelt down on some of the already clean floor and began mopping up the mess with her towels. "I'm just glad you weren't too badly hurt."

"Beautiful men are very difficult to hurt," he said with his usual flair, pulling another towel out of her bag and kneeling down to help her. "And nothing can stand in my way when I have a goal to reach, of course!"

"I suppose that must be true. Prince Edward has hardly ever been hurt and he fights ogres and dragons quite often!" she with a laugh. Though thoughts of Prince Edward reminded of the virus she may or may not have been affected by. She shook her head and decided for a change of subject.

"It's very kind of you to take such care of your mother. How is she doing today?"

[roseandsparkle.livejournal.com]

"Much better!" He sat back on his heels and wiped his forehead, before turning to another patch of floor. "She's nearly back to herself again, but she spent so long in the garden today that she needed a nap before dinner. But as you can see, I was tragically defeated by my attempt to cook for her!"

[dreaming-oflove.livejournal.com]

"I'm so glad!" she said beaming over at Tamaki. "You must be taking such good care of her. And even if you were defeated, it was the thought that counts."

[roseandsparkle.livejournal.com]

"Exactly!" he said, with a dramatic flourish of the towel, beaming back. "And now that you're here, dinner is sure to be a success!"

[dreaming-oflove.livejournal.com]

"Yes, I'm sure it will!" she nodded. "Did you want to try soup again, or something else?"

[roseandsparkle.livejournal.com]

"Whatever you enjoy making the most! After all, the best ingredients for a dish are enthusiasm and love~" he said, not mentioning the very apparent, very important third ingredient of basic kitchen skills.

[dreaming-oflove.livejournal.com]

"That's very true," she quickly agreed. "I think soup is a fine idea though. It always lifts the spirits when one is sick or tired."

I NEVER GOT THE ALERT FOR THIS wtfff

"Good! That's exactly what we need!" he said, beaming. "We have fresh ingredients from the garden, so I'm sure it will be wonderful!"
