in any case, it's not in any danger of burning - thanks to mitsuru having enough foresight to turn the heat off earlier before all the fiasco started - but vash keeps his back turned to the other two as he fusses around with it, unnecessarily fiddling with the knobs of the stove and giving it a few good stirs.
his shoulders curl in on themselves, the hunching of his spine made more obvious without the protective shell-layer of his coat in the way - but vash's laugh is almost back to normal; easy and familiar. practiced. ]
Thank you, but ... I can do it.
[ he's already caused her so much trouble already, so he can't really ask her to do the laundry on top of all that, you know? he'll throw it in the sink to soak after she's gone.
quickly, he makes sure that the soup is still okay - despite everything - and ladles it into the thermos, cuts the bread, packing them all neatly into a bundle that's easy to carry even alongside eleanor's carrier, turning around back to her just in time for mitsuru to point out the gift she'd brought. ]
[ Busying herself with getting her cat ready to go home seems like the right thing to do. Eleanor isn't exactly delighted about being put back into her carrier - although as far as pet carriers go it is ridiculously plush so resistance is fairly minimal. The feline clearly likes Vash and doesn't seem all that happy about going, various disgruntled noises announcing it for them both to hear - but then going home also means snuggles with "mum" so it's a good compromise. The disgruntled meows from inside the carrier continue but only very intermittently as Mitsuru turns her attention back to Vash. ]
And you didn't have to make that for me so I suppose we're somewhat even.
[ Honestly, she had been far too guilty in the past of returning from work and not fixing herself a proper meal. She tended to get carried away with her work, with her thoughts - it was the same back at Gekkoukan and fighting Shadows and it's not always that much different here. Without Shinjiro around she was more inclined to slip back into that little bad habit - late nights and not nearly enough sustenance.
Basically, the soup is appreciated. ]
Thank you. I'll return the thermos to you next time you're on a security shift. [ She holds out the carrier for a moment before she retrieves said thermos bundle. ] ...You had better say goodbye to her through the door or I'm sure she will sulk.
[ see, he had a good idea about how her work schedule was like ... besides, he understands a little of how difficult it is to keep things like that in mind when you're alone, with nobody around to remind them or share meals with.
but of course, he won't say anything to point it out; for once he's actually thinking before he speaks, maybe?
with a bright smile, vash drops to his haunches in front of the carrier she's holding out, sticking his fingers through the fancy woven grilling of the door so he can carefully boop eleanor's nose ... even though she still seems quite grumpy about having forced into it once more. ] Haha ... bye for now! I'll see you again soon!! Better ask Mitsuru to bring you to the office again, yeah?
[ a begrudging meow answers him and vash's smile grows a fraction wider, before looking up at the other. ]

You didn't have to! It really was nothing!
