[ There's some things to think about about Remnant, that's all. It's nothing against Midorima. She's just a little tired, so she'd prefer to just think and have some time to herself before they end up having all the fun wherever they're going!!
She rests her head against the window for the ride, eyes closed for most of it, only opening it every so often if and when the car stops or something. ]
[ Midorima's entirely fine with it. He's the type who will just.. enjoy the peace and quiet. He's just letting his mind wander for the duration of the ride, staying quiet.
The car ride is lengthy, since they're going far enough out of town that the taxi is getting an extra large tip. In fact, they're let out near a small stream with a mossy stone path next to it. They'll have to walk a bit to get to the cabin in the distance, since the road doesn't go all the way up to it. The driver helps them get their things out of the trunk, then Midorima sets out to carry them. Though, he does look a little sleepy as he accepts them (From the long ride). ]
[ Huh! Weiss zoned out in the car so she's not quite sure what paths they took to get here, but it's different from the city view. It's... actually nice. And she can already feel the difference— the air is different, fresher, even! ]
[ He wanted to know about a cabin, so he asked people about the cabin!! Starting with a man he's harassed about a sleigh before, but you know, whatever. He did his research to find what he wanted. ]
We seem to have trouble finding time to ourselves, so I made sure it would be possible for your birthday.
No wonder you didn't want Merlin to come with us, then.
[ She gets it, she thinks? Either way, she starts walking up the path. She's the one who isn't carrying much except for her own bag of personal stuff, so she's a lot faster in moving even though Midorima has longer limbs. ]
The place looks safe... but I'll make sure nothing bad happens, just in case.
Merlin is an attention-seeking troglodyte and it's my turn for your undivided attention.
[ Insulting the dog was entirely unnecessary, but literally face-bursting through his door made it very clear to Midorima that he is Correct and the dog is a tiny cockblock. ]
I know you will.
[ He has faith in her to protect them! He gets out the key, which he fetched from the renter the day before yesterday, and unlocks the door so she can go in ahead of him. It's quaint inside, but everything seems warm. There's a fireplace in the main room and a kitchen too, and one large king-sized bed. There's a picnic table out back in case they want to eat outside, too, and a cute trickling stream that goes alongside the cabin. ]
[ And yes, she is taking some offense to this!! Don't be mean to Merlin, Midorin. :(
Once she's inside, she looks around, already switching the AC on to make sure it's cool enough inside, but not too cold! Other settings like the lighting are also adjusted so it's up to her standard, all the while humming a tune. She pops in where Midorima is to ask a question, though— ]
Do you want me to have the curtains open, or do you want it a little dim in here?
[ He lets her do whatever she wants with the settings. He'll probably open the windows instead of the AC later, since they're in nature, he'd rather enjoy the fresh air. But for now Weiss can have her way. ]
Open the curtains. We're in a cabin, it'd be pointless not to enjoy the view.
[ Now there's a mix of nature! Sunlight, but no fresh air. They can have fresh air later. It just seems a little too warm out to let air come in. It'll be hot. ]
It's Valentine's Day, so we can try to make chocolate together once you're settled. I brought the ingredients for a recipe.
[ If she helps surely he can't horribly ruin it and then they both get Valentine's chocolate. ]
Once they're made and cooling, we can have lunch. Then we have time to relax after that. In the evening, we can go on a nature walk and take a dip in the stream.
[ It will be cooler then. He pushes up his glasses. It's not the most exciting plan, but he did make one.. ]
Just be prepared for wildlife. They aren't afraid of people in the wild.
[ Midorima will catch a frog for her. ]
You don't want to stretch your legs first?
[ They've been trapped in the car, it might be nice to get settled properly first and put their stuff away. Midorima is the type of person who unpacks on trips, ok.. ]
[ He doesn't really know how to answer that, so he just.. reads off the instructions. ]
It says to create a double-boiler by filling the pot half-way with water and placing the bowl on top of the pot.
[ So it has to fit in the pot, so whatever fits that. He comes over with his stuff and starts opening up the packaging for the molds and thermometer. They're brand new, it's not like MIdorima had these beforehand. ]
[ What the fuck is that. But you know what? She's going to just listen to Midorima. The bowl's pretty big then, so she goes to look for a bowl that's smaller, and a pot that's the same size.
The pot and bowl she ends up with are a normal size. She sets them on the counter before she starts fixing the cupboard. It wasn't organised properly when they got in! So here she is... Doing that now, arranging everything by colour and by size. ]
I don't know. I assume what we're making with the pot and the bowl.
[ He really should've found a video.. oh well. They'll figure it out or they won't and they can both be bad at cooking. He'll save a little piece of chocolate on the side in case they ruin it so they can both have at least one bite, even if it's not the nice kind they're trying to make.
He watches her organize it while goes to pre-wash the mold and the thermometer. Who knows what gets on stuff during manufacturing, better safe than sorry. He likes watching her organize things. It's cute. ]
[ This is going to take some time, Midorima. In fact, it takes about four minutes, unless he interrupts her and calls her attention to get it over with.
In which case, she will pout and drop everything so she can put water in the pot. It was one of the things Midorima said he needs, after all! ]
[ That's fine. He finishes washing what they're actually using and setting it on the stovetop, then just watching her for the rest of it. When she finishes, she'll see him just looking at her. ]
[ She somehow assumes there are videos of people organising things for fun... She doesn't know exactly what those letters stand for, though. ]
— Right. [ Whatever, Midorima doesn't have to explain. She heads to the counter, taking the chocolate and then checking one of the drawers for the knife. ]

Just tell me what you need to prepare.
no subject
A metal bowl, a pot of water, a candy thermometer, molds, and chocolate. I brought the last three, can you check the cabinets for the first two?
[ He's heading for his bags to get the parts that he thought probably wouldn't be here out. ]
no subject
[ She'll be the best assistant! And eventually take over when Midorima burns everything... ]
How big should the bowl be? [ Lots of rummaging on her end as she calls out to him. There's one that's the size of a watermelon... ] Is this good?

no subject
Small enough to melt.

[ Nothing against him. She just wants to have reference! ]
