Silvermane

Chapter 4 How about food?

"So that takes care of the job and the materials." Silvermane grumbled, as he walked inside the cottage and shook him free of everything he had been carrying, scratching his neck and turning back towards Fluttershy, who stood in the doorway and looked a bit unhappy about the mess he just made.
"What!?"

"Uh oh uhm, m-maybe you could uhm not dump it all just inside the door?" She said, as she began picking up the items while keeping an eye on Silvermane, hoping she didn't make him mad, again.

"Fine, where do you want it?" He sighed, as he begun picking up all the items again and gave her an annoyed look.

"Oh s-sorry, y-you don't h-have to if you don't want to." She shrank back and mumbled out, causing him to give another sigh of annoyance.

"Where!?" He leaned forward with a growl.

"T-the closet?" she pointed a shaky hoof towards one of the doors behind Silvermane, who snorted and turned his head where she pointed.

"Was that so hard?" He mumbled, as he walked over to the closet and pulled the door open, looking around the small space before putting the items on one of the shelves, slowly backing out of the closet and turning around, only to freeze mid step.

"Uhm y-you okay?" Fluttershy asked, as he ran past here towards a window, pushing it open and poking his head outside and looked around wildly, before pulling his head back inside before closing it again.

"Y-yeah, thought I saw somepony looking inside." He blinked, walking back towards Fluttershy.
"Well anyway, what now?"

"Uhm depends." She mumbled, glancing towards the kitchen, blushing a bit as her stomach gave a low growl.

"Something to eat?"

"W-well only if you want to."

"I guess, been a bit hungry since we visited your friends farm." He said, as his own stomach growled a bit too.

"Okay uhm do you like tomatoes?"

"Never tried them." He shrugged.

"Really? uhm how about I make a tasty tomato soup then?"

"I guess." He shrugged again, as they walked inside the kitchen.

"So you need help peeling them?" He continued as Fluttershy begun rummaging around the kitchen for the ingredients, only to stop and look at him, blinking a few times before answering.

"Uhm you don't peel tomatoes, you just cut them up, b-but you can do that if you want to that is."

"Mhm sure I always been good with sharp stuff." He said, mumbling the last part mostly to himself.

"W-what was that last part?"

"Oh nothing, where do you store your shiv- eh knives?" He shook his head as he begun opening some drawers at random.

"Oh it's in the top drawer close to the fridge, use the one with a red handle."

"Mhm red handle top drawer.......red handle, red handle, ah found it." He mumbled as he rummaged through the drawer and finding the red handled knife.
"So do I cut it into slices or?" Smiling as he begun flipping the knife in the air, causing Fluttershy to squeak and cringe with each flip.

"Oh p-please don't it's I-I please stop doing that!" She pleaded closing her eyes and fearing the worst when she didn't hear another flip.

"As you wish." He snorted, spinning the knife around and jamming it into a cutting board with a loud thud.

"T-thank you *sigh* c-can we please continue with the soup?" She put a hoof to her chest in relief.

"Sure, just gimme the tomatoes and I'll cut them up."

"O-okay just be carefull w-with the knife." She stammered, as she handed him the tomatoes, giving him a concerned frown as he took the knife again.

"I make no promises." He snorted again as he begun cutting up the tomatoes, while Fluttershy begun preparing the rest of the ingredients, giving him concerned looks everytime she heard the chopping of the knife.

"Guh so much goo in these, what of it is edible?" He grumbled after a few minutes of cutting, shaking his tomato covered hooves.

"Uhm everything actually, do-do you need a towel?" She asked, as she saw he had managed to get tomato bits and pieces all over the table and his hooves.

"Guess so." he took the towel and cleaned himself off.
"What now?"

"Oh now I can take care of the rest." she mumbled, taking the towelfrom him, sighing as she walked over to the chopped up tomatoes (which looked like they were the leftovers from a murderscene), scooping them up and putting them in a pot, readying the rest of the ingredients, before turning around and scratch her leg nervously.
"Uhm m-maybe you could go see how Angel is doing? i-if you want that is."

"Very well, it will take some time anyway right?" He asked, getting a nod in return.
"Well where is the critter?"

"Oh he should be out back with the other bunnies." Fluttershy answered, getting a nod in return as Silvermane walked out of the kitchen.
