It is bucatini all' amatriciana but I've changed things.
[ He fucking overloaded it on the peppers. Jiaoqiu likes that, right??? For context it is a pasta. Kind of spaghetti but with thicker flatter noodles. ]
yay peppers!! he... does wait for marcoh to hand it to him though because he can't fuckin see, and he's so shaky that he doesn't want to drop it and ruin marcoh's hard work. ]
I've never heard of that, but I'm always happy to try a new meal.
[ he will eat! he's - clumsy, and his hands are shaking, but he does his best.
tbh he'll probably finish it. he's not starving, but it doesn't seem to matter. he doesn't say anything, but his ears are flopped down and his tail isn't flicking nervously. he wasn't lying about feeling better with marcoh around. ]
[ Honestly I made the name up just to be clear because for some godforsaken reason she's a huge part of his lore but I don't have a name for her! But I can't sustain eight weeks of nameless important sister!! I hate my canons. ]

He can hear the plate being set down and the clinking of a fork put his direction. ]
It is as you said. Food is for the spirit.
no subject
... Hah. You remembered. [ pleased. ] It smells like I'll enjoy it.
[ a beat. ]
Should I ask how bad I look?

[ He keeps a repertoire of smart sayings up the wazoo. ]
You want an honest answer?

You do look like shit though. You should stay in bed.

I'd planned on it. Every time I try to stand, my knees give out on me. [ slumps down against the wall. ]

Do you think I need someone to watch the door? [ he asks, wryly. ] Is there an assassin out there somewhere, waiting for me?

It does. You're right. [ ... ] I'll be glad to be in a position where less are on me, for a while, though.
[ it's bad for his pride ]

[ Sorry he isn't particularly talkative. But honestly he's sure Jiaoqiu has had enough people asking him if he's okay. ]
I can also bring water.
no subject
he hums. ]
If you'd like. But I feel better with you here. [ talkative or not. ]
no subject
[ He just stays here then. ]
Eat.
[ Even just a bite is okay. ]

He nods though when Jiaoqiu finishes it. Still shivering? ]
no subject
Thank you for the meal. You're not so bad at cooking.

Is Venere your sister?
no subject
Yeah.
[ He's lost track of who knows and who doesn't, but it's also not like he makes a point to talk about his personal life often anyway so. ]
no subject
You mentioned her once. Never by name. [ he closes his eyes. ] I'm an only child, so I'm always interested to hear about her.
no subject
I'm not sure what to say.
She's nice? She's a good girl.
no subject
That's good enough. [ hum. ] I'd assume you'd like to make it back to her.
