"The ceramic jar to your left has a spatula in it," Chrys offered as she got the ground beef out. "Just start browning the meat and I'll find the seasonings. I think I put them in the cabinet by your head..."
Chrys soon went to the mentioned cabinet to look. She blinked. "Okay... maybe not..." she offered not finding the taco seasoning packets.

Toby had just placed the beef in the hot skillet when he followed Chrys's line of sight into the cabinet. "Oh... Whoops. Well, gotta be in here somewhere, right?"

"Yeah. I know I bought some yesterday when I did groceries..." Chrys offered as she went to another cabinet. The rustling of cans, boxes, and bags could be heard as a tendril went to look in another.

"Uh-huh..." Toby smiled awkwardly as he watched Chrys, doing his best to keep himself occupied with browning the meat. He wasn't sure what exactly was making him nervous, whether it be Chrys using his powers unpracticed or simply how calm she was doing so. Whatever the case, Toby opted to let it slide so long as neither of them got hurt. Like he had any words to express his jumbled thoughts anyway...

The tendril passed two taco seasoning packets to Toby. Chrys looked over to Toby. "That wasn't supposed to happen..." she offered softly before the tendril disappeared. I probably look like a freak doing that.... Then again... when haven't I been one...? she thought as she went back to the fridge.
"What would you like for the tacos? Tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, sour cream?" she offered pushing the saddened tones out of her voice.

"Oh, it's... no problem..." Toby replied as he accepted the seasoning. "You're, uh... already pretty good at that."
Better than I was when I first got those powers...
As he continued to cook, Toby shrugged and responded, "Little bit of everything sounds good. Not a huge fan of tomatoes, though."

Chrys nodded. "Sounds fair," she offered as she pulled out the items. She pulled a cutting board, 2 bowls, a knife, and a pair of spoons out to get things ready to go and prepped for when they started eating.
"More tomatoes for me then," she jokingly offered as she started to cut up the tomato. "Random question- quac or not?"

Toby chuckled and nodded back at her, happily replying, "Sure, why not? Probably oughta warm up those shells too..."
As he turned on the oven to preheat, he let out a meek "So..." only to instantly trail off and drop the subject he hadn't yet brought up.

Chrys nodded and went to retrieve the guac she had purchased. "Something on your mind Toby?" Chrys offered as she heard him trail off. She got the shells and tortillas off the top of the fridge as she looked to him again. "I think there might be a cookie sheet and another skillet in the oven still..."

"Right right..." Toby murmured, emptying out the oven and prepping the cookie sheet. He then let out a shy chuckle and said, "I dunno. Guess I was just thinking ahead... wondering... what you wanted to do afterwards..."

"Movies, video games, or some board games?" she offered as she opened the shells. "Or we could sit and chat."

"I-I'd be down for a movie," Toby stated, smiling and shrugging bashfully. "I dunno... Whatever you wanna do."

"Animated, action, comedy, romance, sci-fi?" Chrys asked as she set the shells and tortillas on the tray.

"Anything," Toby mused, warmly staring into Chrys's eyes with a calm grin. He almost looked like he wanted to say something more but was fumbling for the right words.
Eventually, he awkwardly turned back around and once again busied himself with the meat in the skillet.

Chrys gave a warm smile back. "I have a copy of Kung Fu Panda 2 I have yet to watch," she offered kindly as she went back to cutting and cleaning things.
