oh. that is certainly a memory that they would rather not share, isn't it? hua cheng regards it for a moment, after, considering. resilience is resilience - he's had his moments in very similar situations.
he looks - down? how tall is vulpecula compared to him? - to regard them now, seeing the stillness. ]
A memory for a memory, I guess. At least you're standing under your own power.
[ y'all tiny. it really do just be orion and cetus in my half collection of NPCs. ]
Good.

You all have tighter rules on revealing personal information than the Watchers did.
I wonder, if you tried it... you'd be able to recreate it for him to try when you get out of here, wouldn't you? I bet you could figure out the ingredients.
Perhaps. What do you think the strangest combination would be? Ignoring the "warm" one, I do not want to eat that even if I know it would be one of the first that he would have.

I am. And it's going to stay that way. I will never rely on someone else's power ever again.

I can't say and I won't say. I'd really rather not think about it - it's the kind of thing anyone would want to drink the memory of away, I think.
[they wave a hand.]
I don't get the feeling that either of us want to discuss our memories much, so shall we move on?
no subject
Fair enough on all counts. I'm happy enough talking about Dianxia for hours on end, but I'll pass on getting too in depth with this one.
[ it's too personal to him. it's from a period of his life that is his entire reason for being. ]
Ice cream, then. I believe we were inspecting the rest of the flavors besides the mysterious himbo one.
no subject
[they chuckle, though, and go back to perusing the ice cream flavors.]
Warm Takoyaki seems... questionable. Ice cream shouldn't be warm.
no subject
[ not so much a warning as it is a chance of an out. but not much of one. ]
Ice would imply something you don't want warm... I have no idea what takoyaki is.
no subject
[but they don't seem to mind?]
anyway. hmm. they frown while considering warm takoyaki.]
Perhaps we ought to leave that one be, in that case.
no subject
[ fondly.
he makes a face down at the Warm Takoyaki, though, and goes to look at other ones. ]
Alpha Kinnamon?

[hua cheng would know best! hmm.]

[they look over the names of the ice cream flavors again...]
Yuck. "Santa's Cottony Beard"?

he crinkles his nose, not quite sure what to make of it, before getting another spoon and dipping it in. he then holds it out to vulpecula. ]

and make a slight noise that's almost a gag, but then gulp, swallowing it down.]
You know, I don't think I want a second bite of that.
no subject
No, I don't think I will, either. Perhaps the kinnamon one will be better.
[ maybe it'll taste like red hots, that seems like it'd make the most sense. ]
no subject
[executive decision: it does. they try some.]
Oh - it's a bit spicy!
[they'll scoop some up and offer it to him!]
