Call on me at the beginning of the week, then, and we'll do that before I begin working on the rest of them. I'm certain we can come up with something she'll appreciate.
[even if it's just barely, it's still a smile, so-- he'll consider that good enough, given the situation.]
Hopefully that will give some happiness back to her, if she enjoyed spreading it.
[ . . . . the truth is that he wants to stay a little longer and his gaze lingers but - he decides that he shouldn't keep ishi any longer than he already has.]
[he's not going to push it, if senri's decided it's fine to move on from here; he just nods, gesturing for senri to come with him as he starts back up the stairs.]
Where shall we go, then?
[cooking or no cooking-- he's more used to the less familiar bits of the kitchen by now, at least.]

[he can take time for himself first, to deal with this however he needs to.
a couple more moments, and-]
If you know something you think she would like, shall we try leaving an offering for her when the weekend is over?

She liked fashion, and sweets, and being cute and making people happy. I'm sure there's a lot that we could give her.

[and his expression wanders back to something sadder, even if he tries to temper it away. he's doing his best. he promises.]
She'd be mad at me if I stayed down too long....

[ishi glances back out to the clouds, there, considering.]
Would you like to go back, or do you need to stay here a while longer?
no subject
... No, it's okay. We can go back.
I'm getting kind of hungry.
no subject
ishi stands, then, reaching over to place a hand on senri's shoulder for a moment.]
Then I will go find something to prepare, or find a place for us at the cafe if you'd prefer-- and you may join me whenever you're ready.

[he shakes his head and offers up a smile]
I'll join you now, Ishirin-san.
