Bento

Eiden, Hiromi and Seiko pay Kuya a visit in his office.

                    ×××××××××××××

Oh dear..." Eiden murmured when he saw the packed bento, tied with a purple cloth with flowery designs, and flask on the glass table in the leaving room. He walked towards it and yep! Kuya forgot his lunch and specially brewed tea.

It was close to the afternoon, currently around 11:27am, and Eiden was just waking up from his first nap of the day. Quincy and Vesper were currently in the music room, and from the sounds of things currently shredding things up (Quincy and Kuya had personally ordered custom made instruments for the twelve, almost thirteen, year old boy); Yakumo, Reina, Yasu, and Reiki were currently in the kitchen baking and experimenting with the endless abundance of ingredients to their hearts' content; Keisuke and Kenji were currently 'treasure' hunting in the large compound; Minato and Minori were in the library, devouring the books once more; and Hiromi and Seiko, who were once napping with him, were besides him - both holding his kimono.

"It seems Otou-san forgot his lunch in his hurry, Hiromi chan, Seiko chan."

"Oh no!" Seiko gasped out.

"Otou-san will be hungry by now." Hiromi said with a cute frown.

"Ne~ Why don't we visit Otou-san in his office and deliver his bento to him?" Eiden asked.

Hiromi and Seiko looked at him with excitement. "Really?! We can go visit Otou-san in his big office?!" They both asked loudly.

"Hm!" Eiden nodded, giving them a bright smile.

The two children looked at each other with wide smiles and sparkling eyes before squealing in happiness. 

"Let us go change, Mama!" They squealed out before they raced out of the living room, their specific Eiden Dolls cluchted tight in their arms. Eiden watched them go with a large grin, chuckling a little when he heard the sound of one of them tripping with an "Oof!" but got back up and followed the other to their shared bedroom.

Eiden picked up the bento and the flask - which had purple and white flowery designs on it and a jewel on the cap (no surprise there) - and made his way to the kitchen. Servants on the way bowed their heads to him and greeted him and he responded their greetings with a smile. 

The shoji doors leading to the large kitchen were wide open and Eiden was met with the sight of three or four servants scurrying around with items in their hands whilst Yakumo and the kids were each over some snacks of their own adding designs to them.

"It's smells heavenly in here~" Eiden commented as he walked in, heading over to the large table they were working on. As one, Yakumo, Yasu, Reina and Reiki all looked up and focused on him - the kids currently standing on high stools to reach the table.

"Hi, Mama!" Reiki chirped out, waving his vanilla frosting and sprinkles coated hand. His apron was stained and he had chocolate stains on his cheeks. The small cake in front of the six year old was a mess - the frosting on it not well smoothed, and it had various things such as M&Ms and crushed vanilla chips on it. Thank goodness the cake was small because Eiden could already feel the cavities incoming. 

"Hello, Okaa-san~" Reina greeted, the ten year old giving her mother a bright smile - holding pieces of both white and brown chocolate, her cheeks having chocolate and flour stain on them, her apron a little bit dirty and her fox ears and tails are nowhere to be seen. Her cake was fairing a lot better better than her little brother's, having purple and white frosting on it. It had pieces of chocolate pasted on it and a dash of sprinkles on it.
