key_illusion | [Asgard] IC Contact ♛ (OLD)

Just a little bit. I just hope it lasts a while.

[ Maybe selfishly. She wants to see him human- she wants to see him be a little less what she sees as intensely self deprecating. ]

Here- eat some of this.

[The self-deprecation never stops, but at least being human can make him forget for awhile.]

Thanks. They're tarts, right?

Mmhmm. I made the cherry goop on top myself.

[ She's smiling hesitantly at him. ]

"Cherry goop"? Great, that sounds appetizing. [He laughs it off though before taking a bite. Good thing there's no memories attached to eating tarts because he would hate to start randomly crying in front of her. It'd just be plain embarrassing. As for the tart itself, it's actually very good despite being a little too sweet.]

I like it. [A pause as he takes another bite.] Did you make the rest of them?

[ There are probably few things he could do that are more human than crying. Jade would have been proud.

But she grins at that otherwise, shaking her head. ]

Yes, but I made sure to wash my hands lots, and I wore a mask, I didn't want to make anyone sick with them.

[ She's a little wheezy, even now. ]

[He's had moments where he's cried or been on the verge of crying...except tears aren't possible for him.]

So you've always been good at baking? [??? finishes off the tart-- for someone who hates food, he's finished that pretty fast.]

Not at all! There are about six things that I can make well, haha. I've just really started learning.

[ But that pleases her quite a bit. ]

Well, what you can make is good. What other things are you trying to learn to make?

I can make some soups. And breads. Just what Orihime has taught me. Why? Is there anything in particular you'd want?

Hmm...Pretzels, maybe? [He still have memories of those (or at least the mention of them) from the fake Twilight Town.]

The big, soft kind, or the little crunchy ones?

[ Those actually sound pretty good. :|a ]

Big ones, definitely. [That gets a nostalgic smile.] Too bad there's no beach here, not that it'd do us any good since it's winter.

-- there's a sauna! In the Folkvang Comfort House. It's not exactly the same, but- have you been?

No, I never had a reason to go. [Water's not a friend of his when he's holographic either.]

Oh! We should go. I've always wanted to.

We'll have to go soon since I have no clue how this is gonna last. [He chuckles.] I guess that means I have to get swim shorts, huh? Never thought that'd happen.

-- wait, you've never been swimming?

...You don't drop a computer into a tub of water and expect it to be fine.

I wish you'd stop calling yourself that.

[ She sniffles again, clearly unhappy with this cold. ]

But we'll go in the morning, okay? Early. Hopefully this won't have worn off by then.

[??? doesn't comment on that first part even though he has no clue what else he could call himself...since he IS made out of data. Normally.]

So you're going to make me go late night shopping? Fine. [He's teasing mostly despite the off-put tone he's using.]

There are shops in the district! You could go in the morning, it's not like I'm making you go far.

[ She grins a little bit, rubbing the back of her head. ]

What else have you never done?

[Sob, such a vague question.]

Uhh...a lot of things? I don't really get out much. [And he usually prefers it that way.]

Is there anything you've wanted to do?

...No, not really. [Even that's a complicated question mostly because Roxas has wants that were never fulfilled, but he doesn't feel the need to want anything.]

[ Jade fidgets, then, considering him, before pushing the plate back at him. ]

We'll think of things.
