[Pen does immediately start for the electric kettle, flipping it on for tea. She's conscious of friend's likes and dislikes. And tea...oh it's so much better than coffee.]
...Hell, it really is a monthly pattern, isn't it?
No, it doesn't. It feels like a steady stream, but there's definitely a pattern of things happening on the first of each month now that you mention it.
Just...arguing over not remembering how we stopped arguing. I said something insensitive. I owe her an apology. But I think...once we've cooled off some, we'll be good.

[She'll tell Ragna this later, too, but she feels okay with admitting it to Pen.]

[It's just like having a body transformation. It's something that can't be stopped, done in the dark of the night.]

[Stooping while the kettle starts up, scratching at Koro's back and giving him attention he definitely deserves.]
But you're not hurt or anything, right? Nausea, headache, anything?

[Koromaru huffs happily under the attention, his tail wagging as he gives Pen a few licks over her face.]
Really tempted to go back to sleep after tea, though. I'm usually a late riser.

[Pen giggles a bit, nuzzling the pooch.]
But the pupper stays out here with me so I can give him attention and treats.

[When the kettle goes off, Minako pours the water into their mugs, cupping hers between her hands to soak in the heat.]
And speaking of significant others...

Hang in there.
[There's very little else she feels she can do or say, in the face of that.]
no subject
[She grins.]
I love her. She loves me. In the end, we'll work through anything. Don't worry.

...Have you talked to your boy today? he might be wondering.
no subject
No...first instinct was to come out ready for a fight. I should go tell him I'm okay before he tears up the apartment looking for me.

[BREATHE.]
I'll make pancakes, eggs, and bacon. So stay hungry.
