oh, no. shouxue freezes at being caught, but she loves food too much to stop. she makes an attempt at sounding Proper Consort and not a teenager who just wants some good food. ]
If it tastes as good as it smells, I won't voice any dissatisfaction.
If Luke notices her awkwardly freezing, he doesn't comment on it; he just wanders on ahead, looking around for the source of the nice smell.]
It can't be worse than the rations they served us earlier. [Which actually weren't all that bad, in his opinion, but he expected a lot worse from space food.] But anyone who can cook is pretty impressive, to me.
she schools her face to some kind of neutrality. ]
I do not understand how they went from serving us food with bold and strange flavors to none. There is little consistency. [ she doesn't know the modern perception of space food being bad. ] It is an art to make delicious food, and I would be a fool if I didn't appreciate it.
[THERE SHE GOES. He'd be a little more overprotective about trying random food laying around, but he's pretty sure it was made by one of them, so it's probably fine.
[Judging by the new card preview I just saw he is definitely a weirdo but not in this way, at least.]
Good! That'll make it a little easier to be here. [He's not a foodie but even he doesn't want to live off of astronaut food...] Do you mind if I try a little too?
[I knew this card existed but I genuinely had no idea it was coming to global anytime soon. Hateful.
But he'll take it!! It would be so funny if he just picked it up and walked off but he's way too nice for that, tragic. He just helps himself to a small bite!]
I wonder who did? I'm surprised they didn't leave a note or anything.
[It's fine I need all the help I can get to make him seem like the otome love interest he's supposed to be... if I have to defeat my unshippability by putting him in garters I will]
That's putting a lot of faith in people to listen. [Shouxue has never worked customer service, apparently]

[ she beelines for the food. ]

Bold and strange flavors...]
You mean, the snacks from the vending machines?
no subject
Yes, that stuff. It's different from what I'm used to.
[ what are preservatives and artificial flavoring.
she helps herself to a small portion of the Actually Seasoned food. chomp! ]

He watches... not, like, weirdly. Just waiting for the verdict!]
How is it?

It is refreshing after what we had yesterday.

I did not make any of it.

Some people prefer anonymity. Perhaps they didn't want to face any gratitude.
no subject
That's true. And it would stop people from bothering them to make custom meals all the time.
no subject
They don't have to open themselves up to requests. They can be clear from the beginning when they are already going through this much effort.
no subject
That's putting a lot of faith in people to listen. [Shouxue has never worked customer service, apparently]
no subject
that is a funny guess. ]
It goes both ways. [ the not listening. the cook or chef doesn't need to listen either. ]
no subject
True... do you think an anonymous benefactor would turn down requests?
