[ Promises are commitments, though. The only commitment she's made to someone in this place was to Kazuya, because he might not be able to survive in this place and stay sane at the same time without her Aura. It's a transaction yet again. With Ragna, she feels any sort of promise would and should come from the heart.
But when she doesn't even know what her world is like and with everything so uncertain, she just can't commit anything. She can't make a promise and disappoint him in the end. So... she has to think of something. Something that has equal weight and value. It may not be now, but she'll come up with it and let him now. For now, she just smiles at him in silent agreement. If she does think of one, she'll pass it his way.
For now, this promise of getting better at cooking and making him the best tamtena udon he's ever had is priority. He kisses her for it, and it gets her to move even closer, until her other hand is clinging to the sleeve of his shirt, until her chin is resting on the side of his shoulder. ]
It'll be better. Better than what you can make on your own.
[ She lets out a soft laugh then. They're big words, but she'll really work hard to be able to get that sort of praise from Ragna. ]
