Oki smiled at him and flushed pinkly when her hand was kissed. "You seem to have gone to a lot of trouble," she said, tickling Ruu under the chin before walking over to examine the table. It was simple, and she liked it for being such. She turned around again with a smile.
"The only thing missing seems to be flowers in the middle of the table," she laughed.

Fukurou looked over at Ruu, and nodded. The snowy owl fluttered towards the ground and started scampering off. "I have my best man on it," he said with a smile and an almost butler-y half bow. "If you'll excuse me for one second Ms. Oki," he said and returned to the small bon fire he had roasting something not far from them.
As he opened the tinfoil over the spiggot, the wafting smell of sweetened meat, roasting vegitables, and thick natural gravy joined the smell of wood smoke in the air and nearly filled the clearing...

Oki walked over behind Fukurou and leaned over his shoulder to peer at the tinfoil packet, just brushing up against his back. Her eyes closed, she inhaled the rich aroma deeply and smiled.
"Mmmm that smells really good. What have you got in there?"

Fukurou smiled, and stepped to the side not to crowd Oki, allowing her to peer in for herself. "Wild pig with honey pinapple glazing, and a smattering of roasting vegitibles in the same sauce. I will take it that my rude assumptions are correct and you are not a vegitarian or anything of the sort?"

"Nope, I eat just about anything but that really does smell delicious. I've never had honey pineapple glaze before, though. What goes into it? I usually do my glaze with pineapple and mustard, with a bit of brown sugar."

Fukurou gave her one of those 'I'll never tell' smiles. "Secret forest recipe," he said. "Like a magician, a chef does not reveal his secrets so easily..."
He inhaled deeply, accidentally moving back closer to Oki, though he had meant not to invade her space. "Just about done," he said with closed eyes, and prayed his stomach wouldn't rumble, though it very much wanted to at the moment...

Oki laughed at Fukurou's hesitation and gave him a playful shove. "You're no fun, Fukurou! I told you mine."

Fukurou stepped back with a curriuos look on his face. "I appologise," he said with a bow of the head. "I didn't mean to intrude on your space like that," he intoned, thinking the shove was to get him away from her personal bubble which he had accidently entered with his eyes closed - despite his mannors and refined nature, Fukurou was anything but socialized, and didn't understand the subtlties of 'playful shoves'

Oki furrowed her brow as Fukurou apologized and lifted one arm to give herself a brief sniff. "Do I smell or something? I showered before I came over... Fukurou, man, you need to relax a little bit!"

"I.. I... I beg your pardon? Umm.. no... Ms. Oki.. You, smell wonderful... Just..." His manners finally failed. "Huh?"

Oki laughed and placed a hand reassuringly on Fukurou's shoulder.
"It's a joke, Fukurou. Laugh a little. This is dinner, not international negotiations to prevent an outbreak of war!"

Fukurou seemed confused as he looked at Oki's hand on his shoulder and tried to understand what she was saying - the sarcasim somewhat lost on him dispite his time with Kitsi. "You must forgive me Ms. Oki... I haven't made many friends without feathers with whom to share such delacsies with, and perhaps my joking muscle is atropheed," he said with a smile as if that was supposed to be some sort of joke, even though it didn't even border on humour....

Oki understood that he was trying to make a joke and laughed, even though his utter failure at humor was funnier than the joke itself was. She poked him lightly on the cheek.
"Sounds like I'm going ot have to get you into shape then, doesn't it?"

At first, Fukurou failed to make the conection to his failure of a joke and looked down at himself with a furrowed brow, thinking he was already in extrondinarily good physical condition... but then it clicked and he laughed.
Ruu and Kitsi, now sitting on their perches at the table were both covering their eyes with their wings and hoping he would quit while he was at least a little bit ahead...

Oki flashed a smile over to Kitsi and Ruu and winked.
"Can I help dish this out, Fukurou?" she asked, then paused. "You know, I was kind of surprised when you had first asked me to have dinner with you, Kitsi and Ruu. I didn't think you'd be interested in me."
