Tigris cocked her head a little, staring at the proferred tempura treat with a puzzled expression. Inches away, the fragrant smell reached her nose... it smelled absolutely delicious! She no longer hesitated and bit down on the crispy shrimp.

It tasted good too, though Tigris had certainly tasted better before, this was special. It wasn't the tempura itself, but the knowledge that this was the result of herself and Kinaver-kun's combined work that put a faint smile on her face after that.

Each couple was allowed to take away their food once the cook-off was over, so Tigris carefully packed the tempura into a small paper box, which she held at her side. Her slender hands found Kinaver's rough ones and curled into them warmly, she led her lover away from the crowd where they could be alone and enjoy their meal.

Hand in hand, she led Kinaver to a wooden bench near the edge of the convention center, under the shade of two cherry blossom trees. A gentle winter breeze blew past, rustling the pink blossoms, raining soft petals onto the happy couple below. Tigris sighed softly, her breath fogging in the air. She liked this, the peaceful atmosphere and his company made her feel relaxed and safe. Tigris could feel the cold, steely tension in her neves melt away with his mere prescence.

Unconsciously, she rested her head on Kinaver's shoulder, a hand pressed over his chest, holding him close for comfort and warmth as they shared a meal. "Kinaver-kun..." she whispered, her husky voice filled with genuine love.
