"Lets have pizza," Koschei suggested as he clambered out from under the bed, following after Barty with a loud yawn. He was trying to readjust his mind and get himself back onto track, he felt oddly fuzzy today. And Barty was... well, off. He wasn't really reacting and he didn't seem to be smiling as much as he usually did.

And when he did smile, it wasn't there in his eyes.

"I said I'd cook, let me cook," Koschei insisted, wondering if he could get a smile out of Barty. A proper one. "I should of hired that maid, makes it so much easier. Neither of us like housework, it's boring."

"You can cook." He wasn't really going to fight him on this. Barty wasn't sure why Koschei was pretending right now or whether he was just really tired, but he tried his best to be neutral toward it, rather than angry or, even worse, hopeful. He turned on the oven and took a pizza out of the freezer to hand it to Koschei, letting him cook. In a manner of speaking.

"I don't think we're really suited for having a maid." He shrugged. "I can put up with some boring work. It's not so bad."

Koschei put the pizza in the oven and slid it inside, setting up the gas mark and making sure it was all set. While it cooked, he leaned against the cooker, looking at Barty with concern. He didn't seem any happier and Koschei was doing what he promised. Shouldn't that of helped? Just a little.

"You hate it, you told me more than once," Koschei insisted as he crossed his arms, frowning slightly. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Yeah, well, that was me whining. You know, exaggerating a bit. It's not as if it's that big a deal." The question made his stomach drop and he smiled uncertainly, moving to sit down by the table.

"I'm just tired today. Don't worry about it. Maybe I'm getting a bit sick."

"Sick?" Koschei frowned for a moment before sitting down as well. Koschei didn't look great himself, he hadn't shaved in a while nor washed and he clearly looked about as mental as he felt. It was funny how his mood was reflected that way. "Do you want to skip lunch and go back to sleep?"
