    The lack of bacon in Kimiko's diet seemed to make Yugi hate her mother. "Yare yare, don't say that..." she said with a somewhat amused smile on her face. "Mama just doesn't want me eating overly fatty cuts of meat," she offered. That had been the explanation she was given. Of course she'd figured there was something more to it than that, but whatever that was, she hadn't found it out yet. Apparently the spoon set made him love and hate her personal assistant. "Oh? I'm sure he'd appreciate that. I wouldn't let him know you can cook though~" she gave that as a fair bit of advice.

    Watching Yugi cook though was interesting. He seemed to be doing a great number of things at the same time. What was this though, several steps he was taking was ones she didn't really understand. Bacon strips were cooked but not seasoned. Strange. Skillet was heated up, but he was pouring batter on it. Eggs that was interesting. "Are you making an omelet?" she asked seeming to not understand his process if that was what he was doing. She watched cooking happen a lot and this was something new to her. Kimiko continued to sip coffee as she tried to understand what was happening with that flour mixture. It smelled nice at least.

    "Already said it," Yugi said most casually while he moved about the stove area. This was a very finnicky time for the cooking process. Long ago, Yugi became accustomed to cooking numerous things at once to ensure a hot plate. If asked, he would simply blame his sister being a picky bitch. Ah, but that was neither here nor there. Bacon was nearly done, and the eggs were beginning to solidify. At about the same time, those rings of batter were bubbling on one side. Yugi slid the entire bacon skillet onto a cold eye to let it finish its last few moments of cooking without going over, and reached out with a spatula to flip half-cooked batter one after another. All the while, he was scraping and stirring eggs.

    Throughout this process, there was one thing he didn't expect. Kimiko asked if he was making an omelet. In that very moment, he thought very little about the additional implications. "Nope! Just eggs," he stated as a matter of fact. "Pancakes, eggs, bacon; classic American breakfast stuff! Oh! I'm guessing there's no pre-shredded cheese? Think I can get another favor?"

    Already said it. Yeah, that was true. Even so, there was a certain, kinship that Kimiko could see in the future between her mother and her boyfriend. It was probably for the best to let them figure out their likeness on their own. Actually, whenever that happened she'd likely have to issue an apology to her father, he did nothing to deserve a secondary one of these types of people in his life. Oh well... that was something to think about for later.

    Instead in the here and now, there was the matter of Yugi's cooking. He claimed he was not making an omelet. He claimed to just be making a classic American breakfast. Pancakes, bacon and eggs. But the eggs part didn't really make sense. "But you broke the yolks... how are you not making an omelet?" there was a key piece of information that Kimiko was missing here and it was another of those random things that was going to leave her embarrassed though she didn't quite know it yet. Ah, whatever the case, she was asked for a favor and it involved cheese. Of course, there was no pre-shredded cheese and Kimiko had no problem pitching in, but she did need to know something important. "What kind of cheese? Brie, Cheddar, smoked gouda, provolone, feta, gorgonzola, colby-jack, or swiss?" she asked. Yes, there were a large variety of cheeses present in her house. And no she didn't consume a great number of them, but she liked variety for several of the dishes she did eat with a fairly normal amount of accuracy.

    Wait. No, this wasn't possible at all, was it? The way Kimiko spoke implied that she'd only experienced eggs with a broken yolk... in an omelet. Why scrambled eggs seemed beyond her understanding was, well, beyond Yugi's understanding. "I'm... I'm just scrambling them. Y'know. Fluffy... scrambled... eggs..." His sentence was broken; why wouldn't it be? Yugi spoke while still in disbelief over the girl's diet, or lack thereof. He didn't expect the cook of eggs to be the ridiculous thing on this list.

    No matter. The eggs were finishing up, and Yugi was removing bacon from its skillet with a pair of tongs to lay two pieces each atop two plates. Pancakes were done as well, so he took a spatula to them one by one, stacking three at the center of each plate. With that out of the way, he cracked salt and pepper over mostly-cooked eggs, then sprinkled two pinches of ground cayenne in as well. A few more moments of stirring occurred before the lad tasted a small amount of egg. Yes, it was good enough. All he needed was cheese and a grater, though the options for cheese were ridiculous. Moving on. "Well I've never tasted half of those, but cheddar is pretty standard unless you've got a preference. Whatever it is, pass it here?"

    Kimiko was left looking a little clueless for a moment. According to Yugi he was not in fact making an omelet he was just making eggs, scrambled. That word didn't appear within the vocabulary of the heiress in relationship to the term eggs. But the rest of the sentence implied they would be good. Still she was rather confused about it as a concept. "Yeah, never had them like that before. Doesn't sound bad though..." she mentioned having the grace to look just a little embarrassed. She didn't think this was even a matter of dietary restriction at this point. Perhaps it would make sense when she ate some.

    Moving on from that point there was a whole list of things they could be having together. Included among them was the cheese he had a use for. It seemed he didn't do variety with cheese at all, but said cheddar would do for what he wanted unless she had a preference. Cheddar was fine with her, but he'd not been specific. Given that she'd pick up a small block of mild cheddar and produced for the lad a cheese grater and a small bowl. "Mild cheddar it is~" she said while placing these items in one of his nearby empty spaces. Still his movements were seemingly sparatic but everything got made at around the same time. The only person she knew to have that sort of time management was Kei so it was interesting to see in someone who didn't have it for the sake of professionalism.

    Someone not having scrambled eggs at any point in life was more ridiculous as a thought than anything else Yugi had seen here thus far. It was so simple, such a presumed matter of fact that he couldn't imagine it being true. In Kimiko's case, he fully believed it... despite how ridiculous it was. "Well eggs are pretty much a staple, yeah? Scrambling them just... lets you do things you don't normally do with eggs, without making it weird," he explained. If something like that didn't make sense, he was sure it would soon enough.

    Yugi was offered cheese, a grater and a bowl via counter space nearby. The eggs he'd been working on were done enough, so he quickly snatched up the cheddar and grated it with maximum vigor. Shreds of cheese were flying all over the area around him, but a handful landed in the bowl. With that, he ditched the grater and picked up the freshly-shredded cheese. The flame under the eggs was cut before he dumped cheese into them, mixing it in as it melted. A few moments later, he was carrying the skillet to the plates, scraping eggs next to each set of bacon. "Alright, that's everything. Just need butter and syrup~"

    Eggs were a staple food this was true. Kimiko ate eggs on a pretty regular basis, including the hard boiled, soft boiled and fried varieties. Even so, it was a bit strange this thing called a scramble. And she knew by the words spoken by Yugi after he found it unreasonable she'd never eaten them before. That being said, Yugi managed to offer an explanation of the positive usage of the scrambled egg and it amounted to, adding things to it without making it weird. "Eggs are a staple yes. I'll trust you to show me the goodness of this new form, and freak Kei out later asking for them~" she mentioned almost deviously.

    Beyond this point it seemed like the whole of breakfast was being finished up. Kimiko watched as cheese was grated and added to those eggs, pancakes were placed, so was bacon. He was all done now and claimed to just need, syrup and butter. In a moment like this, Kimiko couldn't keep the look of curiosity off her face. She got up in the moment and got butter out of one of the refrigerators, and specialty maple syrup from the baking goods cabinet. "Hm, are you planning on baking something?" she asked seeming to not understand the usage of these extra items. Maybe there was about to be some kind of sweet bread or something, yeah that made perfect sense in the mind of the heiress.

    It would come as no surprise to Yugi if Kimiko wound up asking her personal assistant for scrambled eggs after experiencing them even once. Scrambling eggs was something he considered to be a lazy staple, with so little effort required to make them perfect─ unlike other methods requiring a specific texture of yolk or... whatever else fancy people cared about. "I'd be weirded out if you didn't ask. If that's too much of a swing though, I'd say just shoot for a fried egg sandwich. Those are always good," he added.

    Kimiko acquired the butter and syrup he required, with a great deal more ease than he would have had in that massive kitchen. Upon bringing them over, she asked another strange question. Yugi wasn't much of a baker at all, so he wasn't sure why she thought he'd be baking. With that question hanging in the air, he cut two semi-thick chunks of butter with a quirked brow. "I'm not sure what I'd be baking with syrup, but... no. It's for the pancakes," he said while slapping a knob of butter on each stack. The syrup, he looked at the container of... and sighed. Butternut Mountain what brand? Ridiculous. Moving on. He began pouring syrup over Kimiko's pancake stack first, then slid the plate over while pouring his own. "There. A real breakfast, maybe for the first time in your dejected life. Enjoy~" With that said, he took a moment to reclaim his tea and take the first long swig. He wouldn't be starting his own breakfast until destiny took its course; Kimiko had to have an experience.

    Apparently, it would be odd if Kimiko didn't eventually seek more scrambled eggs in the future. Maybe people were used to eating things like that. Maybe it was very common thing and she'd really like it. At this current moment in her life, she could trust Yugi's taste in food at least. He'd not led her astray yet, so she'd easily find herself wondering over this breakfast he preferred over the kind she normally ate. Now what was this about a sandwich. "Fried egg sandwich?" she said with an upward inflection. "I assume that is as it sounds... is there like a trick to it?" she asked. She'd eaten fried eggs. She'd eaten sandwiches, she'd never had a fried egg sandwich.

    Moving on, according to Yugi there would be no baked sweets. The syrup was for the pancakes. How strange. Kimiko normally ate her pancakes with just fruit on top and now he was just putting butter and syrup on them. If she was the type to count her own calories she might be worried about this breakfast. But she couldn't really see Kei actually having a problem with the overall composition of this meal. Everything smelled nice, so that was good. "Hm, Kei normally uses syrup instead of refined sugar in a lot of the desserts he makes for me," she explained of her question. But now it was time to eat. A plate was slid towards her and she held up a fork and knife while looking at the items. Her eyes were bouncing around the random items, which would she eat first? Well, she had to try everything she might as well start with the thing she didn't eat at all. Bacon. The newest item on her plate, a fatty cut of fried crisp meat. She'd not seen any seasoning added to it, but still she went about cutting off a bite-sized piece and placing it on to her tongue. Once it was in her mouth she chewed it giving it careful consideration. All the while her eyes lit up with excitement. "It's salty, but I like the texture and it's like really good~" she said of the bacon. Then she moved along turning her plate towards these 'scrambled eggs'. A forkful of yellow fluffy goodness was soon enough piled up. They smelled nice as well and she'd eat a bite of those soon after. Her eyes seemed to gain more light in the moment. They were quite soft, they had flecks of melty cheese to add flavor. There was the lightest hint of spice as she swallowed the bite. Yes. "Sugoi!" she exclaimed. Another bite was immediately taken of eggs and it was followed up with a bit more bacon. Only after she'd had a couple of those would she move on to begin cutting the pancakes.

    Yugi would never grow tired of the girl's questions about normal things; of this he was sure. The moment Kimiko asked about any tricks behind a fried egg sandwich, he snorted out a laugh and felt just a bit of boba tea in his nostril. "Agh, fuck!" he shouted, wiping his nose with a wrist. "Gomen, gomen. There's no trick to it. Literally just fry up a couple of eggs, slap them between two slices of bread, and start eating," he explained. With that, he paused again. Was that something else that needed explaining? He couldn't even be sure anymore, so he went the safe and hilarious route. "Yes, bread comes in slices."

    As he went back to sipping tea, Yugi watched the lass work through her breakfast-related processes. In the meantime, some sense was made regarding syrup and baking... though the reason that quality of syrup was needed still evaded him. Oh well; it was probably something amazing. He could confirm the amazingness of everything currently on Kimiko's plate though, and she would proceed to do the same by sampling the bacon. She used a fork and knife strangely, but he wasn't here to question the etiquette of the rich and famous. "Bacon's always salty. That's the beauty of it," he mused, waiting for her to sample the next thing. The second thing Kimiko attempted was the eggs, which she expressed utmost satisfaction in. That was about the only thing he wondered over until the reaction was seen. "Good shit, yeah? I wasn't sure if you'd be into the heat. I personally never go without it," he explained whilst cutting his own pancakes, all the way through the stack as if he were cutting a slice from a layered birthday cake. In doing so, Yugi naturally sectioned off a piece of butter that proceeded to drizzle down the three slices along with syrup. He'd cram that entire triangular stack into his mouth, chewing while grabbing a slice of bacon with his fingers.
