"Heh. Almost." Though he was still smiling, Toby had to raise an eyebrow in confusion. "Um... You're welcome?"
After selecting Scorpion, he replied, "Eh, maybe one more round, then we can mix it up. Could be fun. You can pick something if you wanna."

"Sounds like a plan," she offered with a smile. "for now though. We've got a match up to finish."
Chrys had gone with her default character of Sub Zero for the final match up. "Or we could take a break and I can make us some actual food."

"Um..." Toby looked between the screen and their half-depleted nachos for a moment, weighing his options. Then he shrugged, smiled lightly and replied, "Eh... One more round. Then dinner. S-Sounds good... right?"

Chrys nodded. "Ready to get your butt whooped?" she offered confidently with a chuckle as she watched Toby out of the corner of her eye.

"Ha. Not likely," Toby snickered back, though there seemed to be the slightest hint of shakiness to his sarcastic bravado.
Regardless, as the game resumed, Toby once more gave it his all, fingers flying as he guided Scorpion into battle, expertly spearing and teleport punching Sub-Zero. The smile on his face was one of effort but fun. The glint in his eyes, though, was something else.

Chrys gave a small smile. He's in a good mood, she thought as she went for a counter attack towards Scorpion only to have Sub-Zero knocked back.

Toby let out a few grunts here and there as he mashed buttons, that nervous gleam in his bright green eyes becoming more evident as the battle progressed. Whatever it was that had him on edge all of a sudden, though, it seemed to push him towards victory, and it vanished almost completely as Scorpion finished off Sub-Zero in a fiery blaze, Toby laughing all the while. "Booyeah!"

"New record for quickest match against me. Good one Toby," Chrys offered as she went to hug her current housemate and boyfriend.

"Whew...!" Toby took a deep breath, set the controller down and leaned back into Chrys's embrace. "That was, a... good game. I-I'd say we were pretty even there... Yeah... G-Good job."
He smiled up at Chrys, bashfully rubbing his head. "So, uh... Yeah, I could... go for some dinner now..."

Chrys gave an honest smile. "You can show emotion, Toby. It makes ya human and what would you like? I'm cooking," she offered before kissing his cheek.

"Oh, well, anything to make me more human," Toby joked, blushing at Chrys's kiss.
At her offer, Toby hopped off the couch and scampered towards the kitchen. "Hey now, I can help you out, at least. I know how to cook. Whadya have?"

"Fish, ingrediants for some really good tacos, skillet lasagna, hamburger helper, I think I have stuff for a pork pot roast too, and maybe just standard sandwich fixings," Chrys offered as she got up from her seat. "Depends on how hungry you are and how long you're willing to wait for food."

"Heheh... Well, we did just have nachos, so what the heck? I'm in a taco mood!" Toby chuckled as he opened up the cupboards near the stove in search of a skillet.

"Skillet is in the oven," Chrys offered as she walked over to the fridge. "Steak or ground beef? Is the big question."

"Oh. Okay." Toby quickly grabbed the skillet out of the oven and set it atop a burner. He then shrugged and replied, "I can go for ground beef. Sounds delish."
He paused and looked around again, his comical expression that of a curious dog. Given that he didn't know where anything was, he wasn't sure what he should do next.
