Iris waltzed around the kitchen, clanking metal singing in his arms.
"Rai~" he trilled, peeking through the doorframe at his cooking partner.
"I wanna improve!" he exclaimed happily, tossing a sparkling fork into the air like a practice baton.
"One day I'll make the greatest food in the world, and everyone will come from all over just to have a taste of it~" he sang, prancing about the linoleum floor with a childish enthusiasm.
Rai sighed, suppressing a secret smile.
"Iris. To improve, you have to keep doing something until you get better, and I have no idea how to cook anything to the point where it's edible, and-"
"Then let's get someone else to teach me some techniques, come on, Rai!"
Rai giggled, stifling her with with one hand.
"You sure are persistent. Well, then, come on. Let's go find someone." she beckoned, holding out a hand for her crimson Heila.
Iris burst into laughter the second their hands connected, his tail swishing back and forth as they stepped out the door and into the sun.
"Oh, man, I'm going to be the best- you just watch, Rai. I'll surprise all of you!"
