Rei stopped when he mentioned looking to the east to watch her dance. She buried her face in her free hand and laughed. "I can't believe you watch that." She shook her head and laughed, motioning him into the kitchen.
"I'm not as good at cooking as a lot of people, but my friend Makoto from back home showed me some things. And with a rice cooker, it'll be easier.
