I... guess? There's a microwave. [ another pause. ] Dunno what that does, I jus' know what it is.
[ the incompleteness of the information he got at some point strikes again.
when they knock, izō peers outside before actually opening the door. it's unlikely he's made any enemies that would try something in this situation but old habits die hard especially when he's making exactly zero effort to change them. ]
Gonna tell me what this is all about now?
[ he doesn't have much in the first place, so at least the room isn't very messy. ]
[ this is not his proudest moment. thankfully, since kitten had forewarned of their arrival he’d gotten dressed and therefore had his scarf to partly disguise the look on his face. he shouldn’t be so easily flustered but in his defence, that’s a gesture that can mean something. he was caught off guard, that’s all. can’t let it happen again. ]
Anyway, what d’you expect? It’s an inn.
[ having a private bathroom is already going above and beyond. izō stands there a bit longer and considers his options. he’s gone hungry enough in the past to know better than to turn down food, but there’s always his pride as well… ]
If there’s somethin’ ya want, might as well just say it. ‘Cause I don’t take handouts from people...
[ he doesn’t think he’s done anything that might call for something in return, so he just assumes this is a whole new deal instead. ]
[They arch an eyebrow at him, before shaking their head. Izo can be startled all they want, but that’s not their problem. If anything, it just makes them feel more confident in deciding to this for him.]
Some inns and hotels have full suites with kitchens, y’know.
[They reach out, grabbing his sleeve and tugging him to get him out of the room. Time to go cooking, Manslayer.]
I don’t want anything from you. It’s a thanks for inviting me out.
[ he's pretty sure no one who isn't some sort of royalty can afford places like that for real but he has a very strange history in dealing with modern amenities.
he'd expected to potentially need to head out, so he pulls the door closed once he's in the hallway but still manages to get in a scowl at kitten for good measure. really, so not complaining about a free meal. but people might get the wrong idea if he doesn't seem put out. ]
Seems like more effort than just invitin' me out some time as payback...
[ not that he'd ask for help or anything but if he's hoping to get any from the staff he's probably making it worse with the sour look on his face. ]
But this is peacetime. Might as well find somethin' else to do for a while...
[ he has that on good authority, so he's just passing it along. kitten would probably do just fine in some other line of work. he's less optimistic about his own prospects given the last time he was out of a job. ]

[There’s a pause.]
You got a kitchen in your room?
[Like that’s not a dead giveaway to their plans…
Still, soon enough they’ll be at the inn, knocking on the door to Izo’s room.]

[Lord. Why aren’t there classes to help people acclimate to the tech here?
Not that they think Izo would attend something like that.
Still, they’re glad he’s opening the door and doesn’t seem too suspicious.]
‘M gonna cook you dinner. Was kinda hoping for an actual kitchen, so you might have to help me get some space in the inn’s kitchen.
[He doesn’t have a choice.]

[They’ll just let him believe whatever he wants to believe about modern inns and amenities.
They ignore his scowling, dragging him down and away to the kitchens and ignoring any staff that tries to stop them.]
Maybe, but I haven’t been making much money yet, either.
