[it's basic enough that it'll be good -- not 5* restaurant, but very much something that a boy learned watching his mom and then proceeded to do himself for more than a quarter of his life, here included. tasty and warm, but most of all the way home should taste with a few added flairs that make it his own. like a little extra pepper, or a sweeter sauce, that sort of thing.

even if amami didn't have much in the way of mother-cooked meals, the imperfections allow for a sliver of the experience. and just like subaru enjoys watching keigo eat, he enjoys this too -- it's nice to see a worldly person like amami take such care to get every last bit, since he's sure the other's tasted all kinds of things. which is it surprises him to hear amami's words.]

Really?! Yesss, a ten out ten score on the Ama-chan route! [don't mind him.

... he calms down a bit though, grin softening.]

I wanted to find some way to thank you for being my friend and helping me out, even if I'm not the best person sometimes~. [half the time, maybe.] But I figured a guy like you really has seen and gotten everything out of life 'cause you're well-traveled, so it seriously was sort of a last resort. I'm glad you like it so much.

[sort of a relief, but seeing how much amami enjoyed it... maybe subaru'll make lunches for him like he does keigo.]
