[Ohh it's a good thing Shinjiro's distracted enough by food talk that he doesn't register what's being written in that journal, or he'd be right back on the defensive again.]
...Makes sense. Sounds like he's got a good friend.
[He rubs at the back of his neck. It's too uncomfortable to offer directly, especially after Maruki didn't catch his drift before, but--]
[ Unfortunately for Shinjiro, Maruki does pick up on it this time, and his smile brightens into something nearly beaming as he tucks his journal back into his jacket pocket. ]
[Shinjiro all but startles at the sudden brightness of that smile, expression just a bit deer-in-headlights.]
S-sure. Why not.
[He stares at Maruki a moment, as though it'll solve some kind of mystery in his own mind. Then, self-consciously, looks off to the side. He hesitates.]
[Mmmm...it doesn't quite feel like a proper repayment if the ingredients are provided, but he also doesn't exactly want to deal with the crystal himself...
Compromises must be made, he supposes.]
That works for me. Just let me know when you want to, I guess.

We could start with tempura udon. If you want.

[ And also he has an infinite amount of shards to spend on mundane things like panko and dashi. ]
I appreciate that, Aragaki-kun. I'll look forward to it!

I will. Once you're settled, we'll get together. Provided things don't take a turn before then, of course...
[ Ah, well. And with that, Maruki waves the little list from his journal. ]
I'll be back to drop off a few more things, and then I'll leave you to it, Aragaki-kun.
