[ she will let him pick out cake for her because i'm still deciding dinner for myself. ]

It wasn't the worst it could be. I adjusted. And the place adjusted itself, too, but oddly. The new kitchen put you in an odd outfit.

[riverbeans]

[orders two mini cakes.]

... It what now?

[ravenry]

There was a lot of lace and frills.

[ she is immediately distracted by the two cakes. her eyes go wide. ]

Those are so lovely....

[riverbeans]

They are, but—sorry, please clarify what you mean by the kitchen putting me in an outfit.

[ravenry]

[ she blinks. it takes two whole seconds to understand what charles is asking. ]

Oh. Not you, specifically. You, as in anyone who entered the kitchen. I suppose it could be you, specifically, if you had the misfortune to join us.

[riverbeans]

Ah. All right, that makes much more sense.

[ravenry]

They may go out of their way to try to ruffle you, but that's not something I care to do, Charles.

[ she takes the cakes and gestures for him to lead. ]

[riverbeans]

[a sheepish laugh]

Well, better to hear from them than not.

[goes to find a table to sit down at]

[ravenry]

[ both these cakes are now hers. no, she could never do that. she grew up starving, but she will always share food. she takes this one for herself once they're seated. ]

You truly ask for it, saying that.

[riverbeans]

[he had a feeling she'd go for that one. he takes the other one without complaint, but he does set it close enough between the both of them so that she can go for a bite if she wants.]

What? C'mon...

[ravenry]

[ she takes her first bite, and her face lights up like it always does with delicious food. ]

Hm? How else was I supposed to interpret that?

[riverbeans]

At least don't insinuate that I'm the cause of my own demise...

[takes a bite of his cake]

[ravenry]

Not your ultimate demise, but... perhaps a small figurative one.

[riverbeans]

My constant public embarrassment...

[ravenry]

I would believe that more if you acted like you were the least bit embarrassed.

[riverbeans]

Hey, it was kind of awkward, y'know.

[ravenry]

I don't know why any of them wanted to ask those things of you....

[ she won't address them talking about his ass, which she also has no idea about. ]

[riverbeans]

[a pause]

Well, I suppose it's not too dissimilar from the kind of questions we ask during games...

[ravenry]

You are excusing their behavior.

[ it's not judging, merely an observation. ]

[riverbeans]

... I can't judge too hard considering I've been out to embarrass a friend once in a while.

[like

fondly]

[ravenry]

Oh. You deserve it.

[ circling back to he is asking for it. ]

[riverbeans]

[takes another bite of his cake first before placing his free hand over his heart]

I see you've turned your back on me...

[ravenry]

[ she points her fork with cake on it at him. ]

When the time comes, I will pardon you.

[riverbeans]

And when is that time...?

[ravenry]

You will have to earn that knowledge. Or pay the price for it.
