"[color=00746b]A little pinch a' salt...dash a' pepper, and done, da! Alright ladies, brunch is rea-AIYAHA![/color]" An energetic voice yelped from within the kitchen of the MON hideout. Mao leapt up and down whilst frantically patting the fur on his chest in a vain attempt to soothe the burn brought on by the bacon grease that had popped him, one of at least five now. The monkeyman frowned intensely for just a sliver of a second as he entertained the notion of the amount of burns he was receiving as negative karma for him not being around to help in the scuffle earlier in the morning. '[i][color=00746b]Alright, alright, I get the message, oh cosmic forces! No more late night parties. Maybe, da.[/color][/i]' He thought before giving a light chuckle.

His cooking done, Mao quickly threw together a plate of bacon, eggs, and toast along with a glass of orange juice and a cup of coffee for the new addition to the hideout. As he exited the kitchen with the plate and two cups in his hands and tail respectively Mao just barely managed to catch the tail end of what Usami was saying, something about those carrots of hers. "[color=00746b]Hey now Usami-san, you trying to get on the new guy's good side? You rarely share those carrots with anyone![/color]" Mao said, which naturally translated to 'you rarely share those carrots with me', and for good reason. Mao was notorious for weaseling food from his companions wherever and whenever he could; a carrot or two from Usami, pocky and ramen packs from Ryūko, and once in a blue moon a sugary treat from Misa, though not without paying the appropriate (or Misa's definition of "appropriate") weight in blood shortly thereafter. Even Ms.Smith wasn't safe from the simian's endless hunger for food not his own, having lost countless sips of coffee throughout the time that they'd known each other.

Mao set the plate down in front of Kyosuke along with the coffee and juice "[color=00746b]Here ya go new guy, now what's say we chew the fat-[/color]" he stated before bumming a strip of bacon from the human's plate, "[color=00746b]While we chew the fat?[/color]", he popped the bacon strip into mouth and devoured it greedily before offering up a wide grin, "[color=00746b]I'm Mao, da! I reckon that you're that Kyo-chan Smith-san mentioned after she finished fussing at me for staying out all night, da. Maaaan, you must've really pissed off someone big to be staying with us, don't worry though, your new pal Mao's got your back![/color]".
