Ripples of Fantasy 7: Mako Awakening|PART II (Shun/Ethar)

[Ethar Luxun]

Taking a spoon, Ethar scooped some of the bacons fat out of the frying pan, and poured it on the eggs, making them sizzle a bit more whilst adding to their flavour, as he shuffled the hashbrowns around.

Looking up to his friends, and his beloved, he saw that something was troubling Tifa. "Are you alright Tifa? You do not look well..." He asked, concerned for her health. He was unaware of how the last events were processing for the young woman, but Ethar felt like he couldn't do much to solve the issues. All he could do was to be there for her when she needed him. That, and all teh wonders of his home planet might help Tifa shove back the painful memories she was going through.

Aeries snapped him out of his trance, as Ethar looked at her and replied "Hmm? Yeah, foods done pretty much. Overcooked bacon is the worst afterall." as he took out some paper plates from a nearby container, and started to dish up their breakfasts. Generous portions of fried eggs, bacon and Hashrbrowns for all.

"So how did you guys sleep? Were the beds comfortable enough?" He asked, as he couldnt help but look over Summers and seen how much she had grown overnight.

[Shun]

Tifa herself got her nourishment and food first and she soon finished it just as she got it too, eating the last piece of hasbrown off in one major nibble/bite, and swallowed. The Eggs were no match as well as she wolfed those down. Such a great amount of was in his mouth, a lump showed up in her throat as she gulped.. afterwards, she would let out a little burp. "S-sorry!" she covers her mouth, She just wanted to finish it quickly, so she could focus her attention on other more joyful things for the time being. "I-It's nothing.. How do you pack the tent up Ethar? Do the capsules dissapear??"

Shun noticed that he was starving, and the fragrance from Ethar's cooking had him pretty much drooling. He hadn't had a fair or nice dinner in almost seven days. Luckily, there wasn't a lot of a hold up, and he was strolling up to Ethar, recieving a hashbrown with bacon and eggs a bottle of water. "My sleep was uneventful.. but the cool air was good to feel." He noted to Ethar with a wide smile.

He headed and sat down alongside Summers waiting up as he saw Aeris walk and get her food from Ethar additionally getting a plate for Summers, and getting a jug of water too. 'I swear.. Ethar needs to open a restaurant..', Shun thought. He hadn't had any desire to wait up much longer for Aeris while his food got cold..

Aeris now sat beside Shun and Summers, Shun watching her eat in surprise. he was sure that Aeris's eating habits would have turned him off his own food. Aeris had a mouth brimming with hashbrown and eggs, and still figured out how to drink from the full bottle of water. There'd unquestionably be backwash now in the bottle, he thought, happy he'd got his own drink though.

After he'd got done with his food, Shun would take the plates up from Summers and Aeris after they have finished and discarded them while Aeris herself leaned back in her seat and laid her hands on her stomach, rubbing cheerily. "Ethar! Your cooking can cure all diseases!" All she needed now was a long hot shower and a delicate soft bed. In any case, nows not the time..

During the short silence, Cloud would take his portion of Ethars nice cooking and lean back into his chair.. taking a hunk of his hashbrown as well just to chuck it into his mouth. He wasn't as gruesome as Aeris, for now at least, when it came to eating. He /could/ be though, if he chose to. He just didn't choose to. After eating a few more bites, he would stand up on his feet, giving his buster blade a couple or twirls and sheathing it, "Ethar you need to tell us your secrets, that was very refreshing!" Cloud praised.

[Ethar Luxun]

Ethar was happily nomming on his food when he heard Tifa let out a small burp. He couldnt help but laugh a bit, as he said "No worries. Its in appreciation of a good meal!" as he continued to eat, until Tifa asked him how they were going to pack up the tents.

"NAh, They would just go back into Capsule form to be used again in the future. The capsules are just an easy way to carry them without taking up much room or being too heavy." He replied, as he saw how Aeries started to eat her food after picking up plates for herself and for Summers. He was happy that everyone was enjoying their food, even though since he only had basic supplies, he had no exotic ingredients to make his cooking all that more fantastic.

Laughing again when Aeris told Ethar how good his cooking was, he said "HA, I wish. Just simple ingredients. Everything just tastes better when its fresh, and over an open fire I guess." as Summers was playing a bit with her hashbrowns, and suddenly got an idea.

"Hey BunBun!" She said, to get his attention. She pointed her fork at Aeries, and said "Theres the pretty girls... And...." as she then pointed to Tifa "Theres the popular girls... " then she stabbed a large harshbrown with her fork. "And I look like..." She said, as she held up the large piece of Hashbrown. "A potatoe.... A Kawaii Potatoe." She finished, as she pout on the cutest face she could.

Hearing that, Ethar couldnt help but laugh again.

[Shun]

It was currently just ten o'clock in the morning, and the morning sun was at that point bursting and the warmth was the sort of warmth that was exclusive to Midgar.. I was a nice breezy summer day. The sort of warmth that warmed the body without initiating excessively sweat; the sort of warmth that made it ideal for unwinding under the shade of a vast tree or just to travel.

Something in Shun abruptly snapped as he heard Summers recite something. His entire life flashed before him.. his brain went to Summers, ".. ... .. Kawaii. Potato...?"

Shun's breathing was worn out, and his throat begun to hurt from some reason, however none of that mattered when he seen the stressed look in Aeris' eyes. She stood and gazed at him for a minute, "Shun..."

Shun at that point shot a frightened look at Cloud as Aeris thrusted forward, rapidly ascertaining the separation amongst her and the himself. He saw a short augmenting of Clouds eyes, those mako eyes that he'd always remember.

[Ethar Luxun]

From what started out as a good morning, turned into something extremely worrisome. Summers stopped her giggling and put her plate down as Ethar stoped laughing as well. Ethar could see if, Summers could see it to.

"Shun, whats wrong? Are you alright?" Ethar asked, concerned for his safety and well being. Looking at Summers for answers, the young succubus was just as concerned and confused as he was.

Ethar would leave what was going on to Summers, since She was closer to Shun then he was. He started to clean up the dirty plates while the others were seeing to Shun, thought he couldnt help but feel that he should be doing something. But without knowing what was going on, there was nothing he could do to help the boy.

"Ill finish cleaning up here.... We should probably head out soon..." He said as he cleaned things up.
