[ he does not elaborate. but he takes a sip of his own drink in the meantime. ]
A lot of people are avoiding the cafe. I wasn't sure if you're one of them. The drinks are fine. [ and the mimes don't bother him... they are simply weirdos doing their best. ]
Ah - because of the... people? [don't hesitate so much to call the mimes people, shenhe.] They don't bother me. I think they were a little scared of me, when I entered the cafe.
[she takes a sip of her own drink, and goes ??? ?? because it's a taste she isn't expecting.]
... Oh, I like this. [you give a bird bitter caffeine...]
...I'd believe that. [ MIMES HAVE BEEN DEMOTED FROM PEOPLE?? but yeah, sure, shenhe can be intimidating. even mimes fear her. she's not scary right now though, sipping at her latte. ] Never had coffee before?
[climb the walls, probably. or like, go buy a 5 dollar steak and have to mime out being a posh cowboy.]
No, I haven't. Is that what this is? [she takes another drink.] I haven't had much as far as variety goes. Wolfwood often scolds me because he thinks I haven't experienced enough food.
[oh you sweet summer child they've been heterosexual since monday morning]
I do. Or... well. [she pauses.] I am used to bitter things. That's usually all that is available, and I avoid anything else because I don't want to become used to good food, and then have to give it up.
[...] But I am dead. So I suppose I don't have that excuse.
I've thought about it. It wasn't a priority, before. [cooking, she means.] ... The Traveler is a very good cook. Anything I could do to be more like her, I think, is worth doing.
...The Reapers might be able to find some for you. And then we can work backwards to figure out the ingredients.
[ reverse engineer these noodles... ]
You could surprise your friend with them.
[ he's not like, ultra optimistic or anything, but it's nice to imagine all of them going back home to these sorts of things. homecooked meals with friends. ]
[ and that's apparently what they're making. he'll dip into the froggystyle warehouse for a second to get stuff, though he pokes his head back out for a second. ]

You did? [oh... thing for shenhe?? she pauses, tilting her head at him.] What is it?
no subject
Here.
[ he'll hand her a cafe cup. it's...
a latte. wow! ] ...I didn't know if you'd like hot or cold drinks.
no subject
anyway, she looks surprised when he hands it to her, but she like... very nearly smiles? her lips twitch and everything.]
I don't know that I have a preference. But warm is fine.
[...]
What is this for?
no subject
It's part one. In case you don't like part two.

[ shenhe on caffeine... what will she do next ]
no subject
No, I haven't. Is that what this is? [she takes another drink.] I haven't had much as far as variety goes. Wolfwood often scolds me because he thinks I haven't experienced enough food.
no subject
Wolfwood wouldn't even learn how to swim. [ judging...... ] But he's right. It's good to explore, while you have the chance.
[ until you find exactly what you like and only eat that forever and ever ]
What kind of stuff do you like?
no subject
Doughnuts. [she says promptly. there are other things but like. she's on a kick, right now.]
no subject
You like sweet things? [ shouldn't judge a book by its intimidating cover. ] Doughnuts and coffee are good. They contrast each other.
no subject

[...] But I am dead. So I suppose I don't have that excuse.
no subject
Yeah. You don't.
[ if they're dead, why not live a little? might be the only time they have left. ]
...Even if you don't have as many options back home, it's good to know what you like. You could learn to cook, too.
[ it's important to have preferences and indulgences. the people here can be so austere. ]
no subject

Do you know how to cook?
no subject
[ cooking for others is a nice bonus, but it's a personal thing, mostly. sometimes you just need a thing or two for yourself. ]
Who's that? Would she teach you?
no subject
[she takes another sip of coffee.]
Or... is. I suppose she's fine, according to Kaveh. [which is a relief.] I think she would teach me if I asked. I've always...
[a pause.] There was this dish, a long time ago. Noodles. I remember them from when I was a child. I'd like to learn how to make them again.

[ he's not like, ultra optimistic or anything, but it's nice to imagine all of them going back home to these sorts of things. homecooked meals with friends. ]
no subject
You would help me? [not that she thinks he hates her or anything she's just like oh! neat!
she's not super optimistic either, but. she does like the idea of surprising the traveler.]
no subject
[ tch ]
I like making stuff. [ food, art, whatever ] You might, too.
no subject
Matsui showed me how to make flower arrangements. [...] So - yes. I do think I'd like making things, if I can learn.
Thank you, Haru. [a pause.] Would you like to now?
no subject
Right now? [ he's a little surprised, but not in a bad way. ] We can try. Since you can make fires.
[ and they can't like, use a stove outside the warehouses... ]
no subject
If you're not busy. [a pause.] I will do my best to not set everything on fire.
[this is a joke probably]
no subject
in a breezy monotone, ]
Yeah. Don't waste my fish.
[ and that's apparently what they're making. he'll dip into the froggystyle warehouse for a second to get stuff, though he pokes his head back out for a second. ]
Can you make a small fire there? A sustained one.
no subject
I will not waste your - fish. Where did you get fish?
[she will make a fire, though. a sustained one! just like he asks! she's pretty good at using fire by now.]
