For a while, the lack of an answer made Hinata think he was infuriated at her. True, he had all the rights to be ... but still ... and then her ears caught his reply.
"You don't have to apologize, sensei. There is nothing for you to apologize about."
A soft sigh of relief left her lips. Maybe ... things really were taking a turn for the better. She
really wanted to be right about that. Finishing up with making the teriyaki chicken, she set it aside and worked on finishing the rice. Waiting to get to a point where she could leave the food for a few seconds, she then grabbed two cups and a pitcher. Putting ice in both cups and the pitcher, she then filled them all with water. Taking one of the cups and the pitcher, she walked around, eventually finding Nathan patiently sitting and waiting.
"Here .... " She offered, carefully setting the cup down first, the pitcher a bit above it.
"The rice should be done soon. Excuse me, I need to go ensure it doesn't burn." Deftly turning on her feet, she got back into the kitchen. Unfortunately, the heat from outside plus what was in here now was becoming just a bit too much for Hinata to endure.
Panting, she kept stirring the rice with her right hand, her left slowly unzipping and removing the jacket, tossing it against one of the backs of the chairs. She had to - somewhat unfortunately - admit that this had felt a lot better. Besides, it wouldn't do either of them any good if she had overheated. Fanning her face with a hand, she finished in about several more minutes.
Serving several pieces of teriyaki chicken on both plates along with rice - which she'd already put butter on earlier - she then took both plates and now her own cup and brought them over. Setting Nathan's plate down first, she then set her own down, sitting across from him. Her head lightly bowed as she murmured softly,
"Itadekimasu." before taking her fork and beginning to eat, giving a nod to signal Nathan no longer had to wait.
