[He's really only doing this because he's...fairly sure only Wei Wuxian and Pyra know his hexcode. So this is...basically anonymous, right?]

What would be an acceptable gift for a young maiden?

Anything related to cooking will not be considered.

[Look, he knows where his cooking skills are! And it's not in the kitchen.]

Comments

[satanslash]

maybe

but food shouldn't be one of them

you can help out around the cafe if you really want to give something back

[wooden_one]

I can wash vegetables.

[That is, if you want to employ a guy that once spent hours washing one head of Chinese cabbage.]

[satanslash]

[Rin doesn't know what he's getting in to.]

that would work

[wooden_one]

[The vegetables will be really clean, at least.]

Then I will do that for you in exchange for the food.

Do you make spicy food?

[He's asking because he hates it.]

[satanslash]

[Really clean!]

only if people ask for it

[wooden_one]

[Well, he won't ask for it so it's safe.]

And sweets?

[satanslash]

i can do some sweets too yeah

[wooden_one]

And is that also by request?

[satanslash]

yeah

mostly just cause i dont have a ton of those ingredients

[wooden_one]

[If there aren't a lot of ingredients then maybe he shouldn't ask...

Ah, but...]

I found a kind of sweet that's purple. Can it be used to make anything?

[They're caramels but of course, with this place being how it is it's not a normal colour. He may or may not have been hoarding all the ones he could find.]

[satanslash]

[Purple sweets... purple sweets--]

oh caramels

yeah i can do something with those!

[wooden_one]

[Excellent. Now he needs to figure out how to ask for sweets without...outright asking for them.]

I have some extras, if you would like to use them.

[If by 'some extras' you mean, 'raided a few of the general stores for all the caramels he could find.]

[satanslash]

[He's not so dumb he can't pick up on a hint.]

i can make you something with them yes

[wooden_one]

who said it was for me?

[Don't call a major tsundere out like that!

But even so...he really wants to try those sweets! The caramels had become something he really enjoyed, similar enough to milk candies to win his favour and different enough to keep him interested. So he wants to know what else can be done with them.

So he thinks about it for a moment before he decides to run with a lie he's been going with with Pyra anyway.]

It's for my son.

[satanslash]

[Rin don't take no bullshit, not even from tsunderes!

He's not buying it, but he'll be nice since they literally just started talking.]

okok just come by the cafe with them and i can make stuff for you


r son

your son

[wooden_one]

[He's not an idiot. He can tell when he's being teased.

Well, he'll show him when he shows up at the cafe when the medicine wears off and his body is that of a five year old again!]

I'll let him know and he can go by himself.

There's no need for me to accompany him everywhere he goes.

[satanslash]

[What would that even do? Rin isn't going to turn a kid away!

He might be a little pissed that someone so young is here but that's all the more reason to feed him!]

whichever works for you

[wooden_one]

[He's petty and also thin faced. And also competitive(?).]

How many of these caramels should he bring?

[satanslash]

as many as youre willing to give up
