[Vivi notices that fidgeting, and hurries with finishing up their sandwiches. She cuts Zoro's sandwich diagonally and sets it down on a plate in front of him, placing her own in a spot across from him. She doesn't sit yet, but goes to the cupboard and retrieves two glasses, setting them on the counter near the refrigerator.]

Is milk all right? [She's already dialing in the combination for refrigerator's heavy lock as she waits for his answer.]

[shush, it makes you grow up big and strong Vivi throws a curious look his way as she pours out the milk. Oh, he's...waiting for her? That's a bit unexpected, but she hurries for his sake, coming back to the table and setting a tall glass of milk in front of each of their places. She sits herself, smiling across the table at him.]

The rice will be a little longer, so why don't you go ahead and start?

[Vivi gives a relieved sigh, taking a step back from Zoro's chair.] Small bites. Make sure to chew carefully. This isn't a race, and there's plenty more if you're hungry.

[She crosses back over to her chair and sits, watching Zoro's face until she catches his eye.] All right?

I'm glad you think so. [Vivi begins to eat her own sandwich at a much more leisurely pace, satisfied that Zoro will have no more choking mishaps. By the time she's halfway through, she rises to check on the rice, and notes Zoro's about polished his off already.] Another sandwich?

[She sees to the rice first regardless of his answer, turning off the stove and serving it into two bowls.] Did you want anything on your rice, or just plain? [Perhaps chopsticks would be more appropriate, but she gives them each a spoon to eat it with.]

[Vivi sets the bowl in front of him and takes the plate in exchange.]

What would you like on it? [Assuming she translated his Mouth Fullese correctly. She goes down a mental list of some of the condiments they have available.] Hot sauce? Sugar? Relish? Soy sauce? Barbecue? Something else? We have a lot of different spices, too.

[...that kind of sounds like a recipe for disaster, Zoro.] I think some of those things might not go well together...

[Well, let's just do this. She deposits her own bowl of rice at her place and then fetches the aforementioned condiments plus a few others, placing them on the table as well.] Use what you like, but don't get carried away.

[With that mild warning, she's off to the counter to make him another sandwich.]

[Vivi does return with his plate and new sandwich just as Zoro's finished glooping his barbecue sauce on, which subsequently hides whatever else he might have used.] Here's your sandwich. [And though she doesn't say it aloud, a certain lift of an eyebrow silently reminds him not to bolt it down this time.]

[Vivi returns to her spot, and after a little consideration of the available options, pours a bit of spicy peanut sauce over her rice for flavor. Mixing it in, she takes an experimental bite, and smiles.] It's good! How's yours?

[Vivi quirks an eyebrow, trying not to laugh at the look on Zoro's face. Somehow she has a feeling he didn't choose his toppings thoughtfully.]

What did you put on it?

[...okay, she can't resist having some fun with the little mossball.] "Stuff," eh? Could I try a bite?

...or is it too delicious to share?

[She can't help it anymore; Vivi laughs, holding up her bowl.] I have my own, see?

[She watches him a little longer with fascinated amusement at the faces he's making, then decides it's time to cut him a break.] It's okay if you don't like it, you know. There's more. [Gesturing vaguely in the direction of the rest of the plain rice on the counter.]
