Toby peaked over his shoulder and nodded, his shy smile still evident. "Sounds like a plan."
Soon enough, the shells were warm, the meat was brown, and the vegetables were chopped. With everything set, Toby took a seat next to Chrys and neatly arranged his taco. From there, he ate in silence, save for occasional noises of enjoyment. He frequently turned to Chrys, giving her a big grin.

"You have sour cream on your nose," she giggled as he looked to her again.

Toby blinked and went cross-eyed for a moment. Then he chuckled awkwardly and wiped his nose off with his napkin. "Eheheh... Sorry... Er, uh... Thanks."
It was hard to describe what exactly he was feeling at that moment. He was certainly enjoying it, but... something was making him anxious. Not in a scared way. More like an excited way.
After finishing off his taco, Toby quickly got to work on building a second one. "Man, this is the only way to eat."

Chrys smiled. "Yeah it is," she offered.

Toby looked up at Chrys; for a moment, he looked like he was about to say something, only to quickly drop it. Instead he chuckled again, took a bite of his taco and murmured, "It's... been a good day... huh?"

"I have to say it has been. Despite the power swapping," she offered before going to get her second taco.

"Yeah... That..." Toby awkwardly bit into his taco again. He had been trying his best not to think too hard about the power swap and just enjoy the evening, and to his surprise, he had been doing so quite successfully. He had to push those worries aside for now. Plenty of time to deal with them later
Strange... Why did he feel so itchy all of a sudden?
Toby jumped slightly when he bit his finger, only then realizing that he had unconsciously finished his second taco already. After shaking it off with an embarrassed chuckle, he started making another. One more and he'd say he had his fill.

"You okay?" Chrys asked as she looked to him. "You seem more on edge than usual."

"Hm? Oh. Yeah. I'm fine," Toby replied, awkwardly scratching his neck. "I just... Y'know, it's kinda my natural instinct to worry about everything. Trying to relax and set aside those concerns just... seems to be making me more antsy."
After taking a bite of his taco, Toby smiled, raised a hand and reiterated, "But I'm alright. No sense in spending the whole time worrying. Heh..."

Chrys nodded. "So should we train instead of the movie?" she asked.

"No-! No, uh...!" Toby hastily fumbled to recover, pausing to cover his mouth when he realized he had spoken with a mouthful of taco. Once he swallowed, he calmly stated, "I-I'll be alright. Let's just... let tonight be a relaxing one. Alright?"
He gave Chrys a sort of sad smile, one certainly befitting Toby's character. Despite his concerns, despite his rattled nerves, despite the irritation in his epidermis... he really was enjoying their peaceful night together.

"Okay. But if something is truely bothering you, tell me please," Chrys offered in reply a pleading look was in her eyes. "You just seem uncomfortable..."

"Sorry..." Toby maintained his gentle grin as he averted his gaze and rubbed his neck. "I-I'm really trying not to be a drag..."
Once he finished up his taco, Toby looked over his shoulder, then stood up and wandered towards the kitchen. "If you want, I can start cleaning up."

"The dishes can be done after breakfast tomorrow but could you put some of the food in the fridge?" Chrys offered.

"No problem!" Toby replied, quickly finding containers and plastic wrap and getting to work on storing the leftovers. "If you're finished, I can take care of this if you wanna get the movie ready."
