I usually have breakfast but I can put something together myself. Or skip, if need be.

[ Look, he's used to all sorts of weird and harsh circumstances, and also he's a gremlin who would consider eating cranberry sauce out of the can and calling it a meal. ]

[showyourself]

I usually make too much for just myself. Are you two sure you don't want to join me? It's simple, but filling.

[she raises her eyebrows at both of them. she's doing her best "you don't have to, buuuuuuuut..." face.]

[infreefall]

Oh. Well, in that case, I wouldn't mind!

[ she likes sharing breakfast with friends? ]

I guess I'll join you, then.

[frostythehitman]

...alright, fine.

[ he says it like he doesn't want to but secret: he extremely does ]

[showyourself]

Wonderful. I'll have you both loving pickled herrings for breakfast in no time flat.

[is it a joke? she says it like a joke. but there's something in it that sounds less jokey? elsa??]

Do you have a favorite breakfast food?

[infreefall]

Pickled herrings...?

[ what ]

I wouldn't mind trying something new, though. Um... I usually just have some rice with grilled fish or miso soup, maybe some eggs. Normal stuff.

[frostythehitman]

[ He raises an eyebrow and stares at Elsa like she might be an alien. Just a little bit. ]

Who eats pickled herring for breakfast?

I can go with anything, really, but any kind of eggs and coffee are my usual go-tos.

[elsa's face splits into a smile, and she giggles a little.]

Me, actually. But, no. I won't force it on either of you. I'll make something you can both enjoy—I promise. Thank you for letting me know your favorites—I'd like to give it a try.

Now, then. Who's first for the shower?

[infreefall]

That’s… a kind of fish, right?

[ she’s not entirely sure but fish is okay at breakfast, so???? ]

I like taking showers at night more than in the morning, so either of you can have first dibs!

[frostythehitman]

Trust me, I like pickled herring just fine, it's just not a morning food. But hey, if you wanna eat dinner for breakfast, I'm not gonna stop you.

...I take showers whenever's convenient.

[ translation: he's used to roughing it so often that showering is not a part of his daily routine. He just...does it when he gets the chance. ]

[showyourself]

It's a kind of fish—but for me, it is a morning food. Or maybe it's an every time food? Hmm. [time to eat some all day and find out!!

anyway, elsa made up her mind—and indicates the towels.]

Then we can all shower in whatever order we like—just make sure we all hang up and air out our towels. The last thing we want in this small room is mildew—right?

[right.]

I'll get up, shower, and practice my non-pickled-herring breakfast food skills for both of you. Sound like a deal?

[infreefall]

Plenty of people eat breakfast for dinner - why not the other way around?

[ interesting choice though, elsa. ]

Sounds good to me! It's a lot like living in the dorms at school.

[ and then they got new roomies next week ]
