[ "Others"? Then he's bumped into additional members of their ragtag crew? ]
Woof?
[ Who else had he met? Unfortunately, Koromaru's not quite sure how to communicate that question to Akihiko. He takes a seat, tail swishing from side to side as the dog considers how to ask. It's too bad Aigis wasn't around to translate for him.
So here he is, stuck playing charades. Koromaru lowers his head, nose nudging a bit at the red armband at his shoulder. Maybe that would get the idea across, that he wants to ask who else from SEES Akihiko's bumped into. ]
( There's little doubt in Akihiko's mind the others will be around, because the idea that the entire team has been split up is not worth thinking. Koromaru gets another scritch behind the ears for his troubles, Akihiko noting how the canine nudges at the red armband. )
I don't know where they all are yet, but we'll find them. You found me, right?
( Somehow Akihiko doubts that the surprises are stopping here, though he puts that thought away when the smell of steak wafts by. )
[ Koromaru wags his tail enthusiastically. "We'll find them," says Akihiko, wholly believing the others must be nearby. And indeed they are; it's only a matter of time before he bumps into them.
The better the food, the more likely others might wander by for a bite. Mitsuru might not be the sort to show up, but they ought to taste test things in case Shinjiro or Kotone drop by. ]
Woof?
[ Unfortunately, he can't ask for the judges to bring the next dish over, but... it looks like Akihiko and Koromaru might be in luck, based on the smell of that steak... ]
( Akihiko would be more shocked if others didn't show up for the food tasting and it makes sense to him (and Koromaru of course) to stay put just in case, though in reality it won't last too long when the student gets restless enough to start looking again. Food will help with stamina, at the very least.
Lucky for them a new plate is set down; a large steak complete with chimichurri sauce according to the person who cooked it. Akihiko isn't sure on the sauce, but it looks healthy enough and he's already cutting the steak into slices, intent on sharing it with Koromaru. )
[ It's a good thing the chimichurri sauce came on the side! There could be some ingredients in it yummy to humans but a one-way ticket to tummy hurty disease for a dog. Koromaru sits up straight, tail wagging eagerly at the sight of Akihiko cutting the steak into appropriate sizes for him. ]
Arf! Arf, arf!
[ Come on, Akihiko. Of course he's allowed some perfectly-grilled steak... Now fork it over...
Koromaru's a polite, well-mannered dog though. He sits patiently, though he's sniffing the air intensely to inhale as much of the steak's smell as possible. ]
(He really shouldn't be feeding Koromaru in such a way, but this place was odd enough. Who knew when or where the next meal would come from? Akihiko is still finding his own way around and Koromaru is a member of the team, not just a dog.
The boxer manages to snag a spare plate from nearby, arranging a few strips of steak upon it before placing it before Koromaru.)
[ Koromaru's tail wags faster as Akihiko sets the strips of steak on his plate. Yes, of course. Just this one time. This would be the last time Akihiko sneaks him gourmet, freshly-grilled, human-grade steak. ]
Arf!
[ A deal's a deal. This will be their little secret, never mind the rest of the cooking competition's audience bearing witness to it.
Koromaru leans forward and grabs one strip of steak in his mouth, chomping on it with a content expression. Once that strip is gone, Koromaru chows down on the next strip of steak, and then the next one, and the next, until his plate is licked clean.
He'll have an incredible report about the cooking competition for Minato whenever he makes it back to the clinic. ]

They may even show here since there's free food.

Think you're allowed this kind of food, Koromaru?
akihiko feeding koro-chan table scraps confirmed......

don't tell mitsuru no executions please

Don't get used to it, just this one time.
