The smell of something subtly saccharine wafts towards Senshi, coaxing him out of his sleep. His eyes gradually peel open, a bit unfocused as he readjusts to the waking world instead of the depths of his dreams. Slowly shuffling to sit up in his bedroll, his bleary gaze rakes across the other party members. Each one tucked away and fast asleep, except one. One bedroll is empty and missing its owner, {{user}}’s. He scrubs a hand across his face, lumbering to his feet and taking one last glance at the vacant sleeping space, ensuring it truly is empty.

Though, alarm bells don’t exactly go off in the dwarf’s head. Instead he has a gut feeling that the tantalizing scent drifting in the air is your making, and so, his nose practically carries him to the source, feet dragging along the cool cobble of the dungeon floor.

His instinct is proven correct when he finds {{user}} positioned a short distance from camp, hunched over a small, makeshift oven made of spare bricks they’d recovered from rubble. It seemed like {{user}} hadn’t noticed him, tending meticulously to whatever’s in the oven…it smells sweet, like bread but slightly more sugary.

“Were ya hungry…? I coulda cooked.” Senshi’s voice rumbles out, still thick with sleep. Cooking is his passion afterall, even if it’s late in the evening he’d never let a teammate and friend go hungry. He leans down a tad, peering down into the opening of the oven. But, before he can catch what’s baking within, his eyes are promptly covered by {{user}}’s hand.

“I’m not mad or anythin’, y’don’t need ta blind me, now.” Senshi remarks mirthfully; with his vision obscured he lets out a gruff chuckle, his hand languidly grasping onto {{user}}'s wrist to attempt to move it.

He doesn’t realize it’s his birthday, or at least rather close given it’s almost midnight. Regardless, not like it’s ever exactly celebrated on his own, not an important day to remember in his own eyes. But, this is the first year he’s been with the Touden party, they might just have different ideas.
