He turns and walks over to the fridge to see what they've got which isn't much, but he does manage to rescue a carrot and a turnip before rummaging in the cupboard for rice. he's not cleaning out the rotten vegetables, those are someone else's problem for now. ]
No soy sauce, huh. Can still make a simple stir fry, but it won't be the same.
[ this doesn't look like the kind of place to find japanese staples so he may have to get creative. ]
I'm passable, "fantastic" if you listen to my niece. But I'm used to taking whatever I have and making it into something edible. Bouila-whatever the hell you just said, what's that?
Bouillabaisse. Traditional Suresne cuisine. It's a sort of seafood stew. Supposedly, the finest versions of the dish take two days to prepare and cook "properly"...
Needless to say, I've always been content with the less-than-finest versions.
Rice, but it looks like you're gonna have to do it the old fashioned way.
[ rice cooker when? there's a nod though, akira isn't a super friendly guy but he's been on the other end of shiners and he's already here cooking anyway. ]
I'm not good at small talk, so if you wanna know anything that's all on you.
And you're a straight cop too? [ or trying to sell that, but his gut says this is genuine. The grimace on his face grows, a mixture of exasperation and irritation. ]
I didn't say anything seriously. [ gathering up his plate he is getting out of dodge asap. ]

Thank you for the concern. I might give that a try. It may be a while before this heals fully.

Looks like it. [ he sounds like he speaks from experience. ] Is that why you came in here, or were you looking for food?

[He takes a look inside the fridge for himself.]
I'm not particularly good at cooking, to tell the truth. Omelettes, grilled sandwiches... a bouillabaisse, if I need to impress... That's about it.

[ Possibly very much beyond his teen palette.
He's gotten to work on chopping the vegetables while they've been chatting, uniform chunks so it seems like he knows what he's doing. ]
Do you want some of this "less-than-finest" stir fry when it's done?
no subject
[The corner of his lip curls into a very small smile.]
Need a hand with anything?

[Neither the old-fashioned rice cooking, nor the lack of small talk. He gets started on that rice.]
Can I ask your name?
no subject
I guess you can't report me to the cops if there's none here, huh? Kijima. Kijima Akira.
You?
no subject
Kim Kitsuragi.
What are the cops after you for?
no subject
Trespassing, battery, assault and everything else they can come up when you fight people. Truancy but that's just cause it's Japan.
no subject
Makes sense. What sort of fights are we talking about?
no subject
Fist fights, what else? Don't get me wrong, sometimes the other guy has a knife but I've never been a fan of or needed a weapon.
no subject
[It's hard to tell if that's actual praise or not. He doesn't put any emotion into his words.]
On the bright side, even if the police were here, I'm sure all of that would be way out of their jurisdiction.
no subject
but back to the food, what could passably be called is stir fry is done, so he grabs two plates and splits the portions evenly. ]
Well yeah, but I don't tend to get along with cops period.
no subject
[He looks mildly amused.]

[Come on Akira, don't you know that you have to ask "are you a cop?" and they have to tell you?]

no subject
I see. Of course. It was just a social experiment.
[He's trying not to laugh. Fortunately, Kim is very good at that. All that comes out is a slight smile.
There's still another plate of stirfry here, so like, fuck yeah.]
