[IS IT REALLY NOTHING?

But...what is this pure proclamation. Also, Samatoki, that's really cute? You goober.]

Really? [She beams.] I feel the same way, and I happen to like to eat. Very well, I will eat a lot for Riou!

...If he offers to cook, that is, I don't want to invade or assume.

[coasts]

You could ask him.

[ He doubts it's a big deal for Riou. Then again, Samatoki always says what's on his mind.

(As does a person who doesn't think much.) ]

[hoasen]

I could...I should message him.

[But then she's not taking her phone out now to do that, since it's Samatoki time right now.

But she does appreciate those who speak their mind. It's how she knows what to expect.]

Another time. Today is still yours.

[coasts]

You cleared your day?

[ ??? She must really have it bad for him. ]

[hoasen]

Admittedly, I did not have very much to do after I finished renovating the interior of my apartment.

[Oh.]

But also when I visit with the intention of addressing something very important, I hope that I could at least dedicate that entire day to it. It doesn't always work, but I do have a lot of time on my hands.

[Oh?

If only she knew WHAT WAS GOING ON INSIDE OF HIS HEAD.]

[coasts]

... well, it's not like I'm doing anything else. The only thing I have on my list is buying food for the week.

[ Which he can do now thanks to her. :') Her and Riou. They've been helping.

(That's not something he'll ever thank them for, though. That's just embarrassing. He may not seem like he has a limit when it comes to his shamelessness, but he does. Such is the life of a tsun.) ]

[hoasen]

[She touches her lip and tip of her chin again, a little in thought. He did want to go shopping before and she did interrupt him. But also look at that, what a tsun. And she knows he has plenty of chroma anyway. Because she has a lot...thanks to him...]

Would you like me to go with you? I can help.

[coasts]

That ain't boring for you?

[ She can definitely come if she wants to; Samatoki won't stop him. He doesn't mind her company and he did like the kiss she gave him earlier. There's at least a level of attraction, but he's a little too dumb to put labels on these kinds of things. He just knows he likes her and she's a friend. ]

You must really like me if you wanna buy food and shit with me.

[hoasen]

[She actually likes being domestic. Housework, house anything, she actually enjoys that like a hobby. Especially since she's so tidy. Hmm.]

It's not boring for me. I enjoy those tasks, it gives me a little bit of order.

[She's that organised. But also, did he just say that? Well, it's a good thing she misunderstood.]

W-well, I do like you. [AS HER NEW FRIEND, even if she feels he's more than one.] So of course I would help someone I like. [Guess her blushing doesn't even help this. Don't let it get to your head, Samatoki.]

[coasts]

You gotta do something for you, then. It wouldn't be fair if we did somethin' for me and you got nothin'.

[ Even if she enjoys these kinds of things. Or, hmm... ]

Or I could get you a chocolate bar as payment.

[ SAMATOKI SHE'S NOT 5 YEARS OLD fsadgsdhfhf ]

[hoasen]

Since we're out? I mean I don't mind, but if we had to...sure I guess I can find something--

[..........]

Well...I mean, if chocolate isn't out of the question...

[SHE'S NOT FIVE BUT SHE WANTS THAT CHOCOLATE.]

[coasts]

You just gotta get something for you is all I'm saying. It's unfair if you don't.

[ If she agrees and tells him what she wants, then he'll agree to to let her come with him. ]

[hoasen]

You're really adamant about this being fair, no? Very well.

[She thinks about this, tapping her chin.]

Other than groceries, [Because she did use hers up making him food.] I also would like some flowers to add to my apartment.

[coasts]

There's a lot that ain't, but there should be some that are.

[ It's said so earnestly. He really does believe it! Perhaps a little too much, given his motivations. ]

Flowers? We can stop by a shop, then.

[ He gets up with his plate, then picks up his glass from the table. ]

You done eating?

[hoasen]

I...I actually like it.

[It's refreshing, in a while, how pushy he is to want this to be fair. Not many people would be so stubborn about it as well, and while she thinks they could relax a bit to give or take, it is still a new meeting. They're just getting to know each other.]

Thank you, I hope it wouldn't be much!

[Flowers is a little bit feminine, but also A HIVE OF ALLERGIES. She follows suit and stands up with her plate, gathering the cutlery.]

I am!

[coasts]

I'll clean the dishes. Make yourself comfortable.

[ He does just that. The other pastries can probably stay in just room temperature except if she has more pies with her. ]

[hoasen]

[She's moving over to the lounge, but even so, she lingers, looking as he starts to clean.]

If you'd like me to help, I'm here!

[YOU KNOW, BEING FAIR AND ALL.] It'll make it go faster.

[coasts]

You're a guest.

[ Besides, he's not going to make her help after giving him food!!

He starts washing the dishes. There's not much to clean so it only takes about five minutes tops. Hopefully Vietnam doesn't get bored then.

Once ready to leave, he opens the door for her and nods towards the hallway. ]

Let's go.

[hoasen]

[If he's okay with it... Then she's going to lounge a bit! But she also watches him a little just to check on him. The rest? She looks around, being that this is the first time she's here without them trying to fuck in every room. At least she still feels the same: she likes it.

By the time he finishes, moving to open the door, she was already seated. So she stands up and goes to join him.]

Coming! [And so leaves the apartment, waiting for him on the other side.]

[coasts]

[ He locks the door one he's out, then starts walking to the exit of the building, then out into the streets.

Now that they're walking together, he finds it a little difficult to stay quiet. He feels like he has to say something just so they have something to talk about, but he also tells himself that talk can be saved until the date this weekend. In the end though, he decides to speak up. Just so they're talking and she won't feel awkward. ]

What kind of music do you listen to?

[hoasen]

[And she follows! At the moment she walks beside him, and she's the type who doesn't mind silence at all. Considering that this was planned last minute, and she respects space.

But if he wanted to talk? She'd like that too. So this question?]

Hmm...I listen to many genres of music because of what is popular at the time, since I usually follow what's on the radio. [Upbeat Korean pop is all the rage right now! Which is probably where she gets her rap music.] What would you say if I answer that it's not primarily rap? [Teasing?]

[coasts]

Ya think I'd say somethin' bad about it?

[ He shrugs his shoulders. It's not a big deal to him. It's not like she's dissing rap or anything, or generally not being respectful of his own preference. ]

[hoasen]

[She taps her lip in thought.]

Hmm, that depends. Some could think it be fighting words. [They're not!] It's usually used in a lot of the modern music I've been listening to. Rap battles happen back home but nothing of the scale you have. I guess I listen to more pop music at the moment. Korea, my brother, produces quite a substantial amount.

[coasts]

Your brother?

[ He gets that there are other spirits like Vietnam, but he doesn't understand why they're family? ]

Is America your brother, too?

[hoasen]

[She looks horrified at the thought. It's time to make things a little clearer.]

Oh thank goodness, no! How to say, so none of us are related, but we are taken in by other countries under their wing. For example, China and France raised me, at different points in time. So I call them my big brothers.
