Staring at the photo wasn't going to do anything. Setting it down, Kaneko resumed her task. She cleaned the cabin until it was spotless. When she finished, she put the broom and the dust pan away then picked the photo up and frowned. This had to mean something...but what? She walked to the bedroom and saw that Allen was up. "Hello Allen, i-is the tea helping any?" She asked and nervously walked over to him. He didn't need to know about this right now. Like she had said, they could focus on that once he was better. Kaneko opened a drawer and dropped the photo inside then closed it and lightly placed her hand on his forehead. He wasn't burning up horribly, but he still felt a little warm.

Oh good, it was helping. Kaneko let out a sigh of relief. "I'm glad that it's helping Allen." She murmured quietly. Her hand pulled back from his forehead and she crossed her arms across her chest, fighting back a yawn. If it really was helping then he'd be better sooner rather than later. She remembered what he said happened to him whenever he was sick. The different stages he had to go through. Three days was the usual length of a sickness but the second day was always the worst one. "Hmm? Hunt? You...you want to go hunt?" She repeated and glanced out towards the window. It was cold, but as long as the hunt was quick he should be okay.

"I...I know..I trust you Allen. I'm sure you'll be perfectly fine it's just.." She shrugged her shoulders and ran her hands through her hair. "You'll be okay, I know you will. I'll work on dinner for us and it should be ready shortly after you return." Kaneko explained. She couldn't hold him here in bed all the time. She just hoped being outside in this cold weather wouldn't get him sick. "Let me just make sure you're dressed properly before you go." How could she say no to him? It would be cruel to keep him locked away inside. He was free to do as he wished.

The smallest acts of affection always made her heart swell. "I hope so. If not, I'll just step out and look for you." She assured. Kaneko carefully got Allen all dressed warmly and kissed his forehead in return. She hoped he was able to actually hunt in his condition. She wanted to be there to watch over him but she didn't want to witness him hurt another animal even if he didn't kill it. "There we go, all bundled up and ready to face the cold air outside." She said with a smile. Taking his hand, she walked with him to the front door. Anything to have as much time with him as possible before having to let him go.

"Of course I care. I'll always care about you Allen." Kaneko blushed when he kissed her cheek and sighed happily as she watched him go. She was completely smitten by this man. She waved goodbye then closed the door and glanced out the window before heading to the kitchen and getting started on dinner. She wondered if he'd want dessert as well. Milkshakes sounded nice but she decided against it. Tea sounded way nicer right now anyway. Kaneko was grilling some chicken breast after cutting it up into chunks and adding some vegetable oil to the pan first. In a large pot she had water and waited for it to boil. She added salt to the water and salt and pepper to the chicken for more taste. The corkscrew pasta was then dropped into the water when it was boiling and she would occasionally stir it. Letting it sit and lowering the flame on the chicken, she washed some broccoli and started cutting it up.

When that was done, she checked on the chicken and when it was done, she carefully set it into a ceramic bowl off to the side then began to make the alfredo sauce. Kaneko checked on the pasta and once it was ready, added the broccoli into the boiling water and let it cook for a few minutes before draining it. She worked on the sauce, adding some motzzerella cheese to it so that it was really creamy and cheesy. When everything was ready, she stopped the flames and grabbed two bowls then carefully served the pasta with the broccoli and the chicken on top. Then over that, she poured the sauce. It looked really good and hopefully he would like this little dinner she made them.

Kaneko poured them each some warm tea in hopes it would help Allen feel better. She was still pretty worried about him of course. Even though he could look after himself, she still worried he could get hurt. Frowning, she glanced towards the front door. Her mind drifted to the photo she had found. She did want to tell him about it, but there was a place and time for everything. She couldn't hear him outside even after walking to the front door. Only silence. However, it wasn't too long before he did get back and he looked rather messed up. "Allen, is everything okay?" She asked him, closing the door behind him and looking at him closely. She spotted the dirt and frowned. Had he fallen? "Are you hurt?" She asked, completely ignoring the fact that they were supposed to be having dinner together right now.

Kaneko was glad to know he wasn't hurt, and his sweet compliment brought a smile to her face. "Thank-you. I hope you like it. I was in the mood for mac and cheese but with alfredo sauce. It's different but it's warm so it's perfect for this w-weather..." She explained quietly. Taking his hand in hers, she led him to the table. "I made us tea as well." She informed with a smile. Dinner wasn't anything fancy, just some pasta with chicken and broccoli with lots of melted cheese on top and some alfredo sauce all on top of some pasta.

Kaneko blinked, thinking he was being serious for a moment before noticing his smile. "Of course it's normal tea. I didn't want the tea to take away from the actual meal." She explained softly. After he had taken his seat, Kaneko whisked around and picked up his bowl and cup of tea and walked to the table to set it down in front of him. She then set down a fork for him as well. Kaneko grabbed her food and drink then brought it to the table for her and grabbed herself a fork as well. Lastly, she handed them each a napkin. "Careful, it's hot." She warned him sweetly.

Kaneko blushed softly at the kiss. It was something so small and yet it warmed her to her core. She took a seat and softly blew on her food, stirring it a bit to help it cool a little faster. His compliment brought a smile to her face. "Thank-you sir Allen, I'm pleased that you like it." She thanked him. She didn't think her cooking was amazing, but knowing that he enjoyed it was all she needed to hear. She didn't need anyone else to like it, if he liked it then she was doing a good job. She wondered if he had a favorite food. She would ask, but she was also afraid to ask. She didn't want to bring up old memories he may be trying to forget.

Kaneko sat there, eating her meal and enjoying her hot tea. The meal and the tea did help keep her warm on a cold winter day such as today. She listened to what he was saying and smiled softly, that was very kind of him to say. "Thank-you. I do try my best to make a good dish and...I always cook with you in mind. B-because I want to make something that you'll truly enjoy." She said, shivering a bit. Goodness it was cold, she could imagine how cold it must be outside. He was still ill, she wondered if the fever had gone down any. When he mentioned not being able to taste her food, she stopped eating and looked at him. "Allen? W-what do you mean by that?" She asked softly, almost afraid to know the answer.
