Nodding, Chouji starts in on the potatoes immediately, moving to the counter she's cleared. "Anything to throw on the grill today, or are we sticking to the kitchen today?" The weather is nice, either way.

...And Chouji makes the usual face that comes with questions about his classwork. He sometimes feels a little bad he hasn't done better in school over the years, but at least he's made more of an effort lately. "School's going alright so far. I like my history teacher, at least." He ducks his head, knowing Trisha is involved enough to realize that said teacher is also football coach and father to Chouji's girlfriend. He'd better like Coach Rogers. Things would be a lot more complicated otherwise.
