[knock knock

get the door

it's Mozu. with food.

(or just tell her to come in, that's fine too)]

[andexecutioner]

[...Looks like you're getting the latter, Mozu.]

Yeah, come in.

[He still sounds a bit out of it and he's looking a little pale from yesterday's...everything when she comes in, but he's seeming okay in general; he's got a board from the game room out in front of him, and he's messing around with European solitaire when she comes in.]

...Hey.

[andneversaydie]

...um, hi.

[...this is kind of awkward, since she doesn't know what to say here, he kind of looks like... less shit, but still shit.

She's holding a relatively large bowl with oven mitts.]

...

Well, uh, remember when I was asking if you liked stew? I made you a thank you gift for the greenhouse! ...I also brought an extra spoon in case you'd like to see me try it first.

[andexecutioner]

[...you are entirely too good for this sinful world.]

...The fact that you'd offer in the first place is enough. Thanks.

[Admittedly, he's still kind of looking at it like it's witchcraft, but you know what, he'll actually eat it eventually, just give him a second.]

You don't have to thank me for the rooms, though I thought you guys would appreciate that one.

[andneversaydie]

Enjoy, then! I tried to use some of the veggies that were ready to go in the greenhouse, because they're always best fresh picked, but the carrots are from the kitchen.

...but right, that'd be... whoever you're working for that I should thank, I guess?

[andexecutioner]

I'm actually responsible for the rooms here; I'm not going to hassle anyone higher up the chain of command for things like that.

[andneversaydie]

Oh, well, I should thank you, then! I know I didn't ask for it or anything, but it's definitely appreciated.

...

[...would it be too forward to ask about that...]

It's kind of like a little slice of home.

[andexecutioner]

[Not a lot is, really.]

...I guess that's good, then.

[...AND AWKWARD, FROM THE SOUND OF IT.

Moving on from one awkward thing to another, though, he'll reach into one of his desk drawers after the long as shit pause he's given her has sufficiently gone on for ten seconds too long to be comfortable; he'll hold something out for her to take if she wants it.

It's a little stuffed cat, sort of like the ones Ferid makes, albeit mildly jankier; it's mostly brown with a little white bow on it.]

Go ahead and take it, if you want it.

[andneversaydie]

[............................what the fuck]

Did... did you make this?

[IF SO, HOLY SHIT, THAT'S... KIND OF ADORABLE???]

[andexecutioner]

I...look, are you going to take it or not?

[can this even be considered 'trying' at this point]

[andneversaydie]

...well, yes, of course, but I never expected anything like this!

[SHE'LL TAKE THE KITTY. ...and then start chuckling.]

Heh heh heh... you considered my advice, didn't you? About the whole joy spreading thing.

[andexecutioner]

Not really.

You've been pretty decent, though.

[andneversaydie]

Oh.

[...she remains quiet for a second to try and figure out if this was a compliment or not.]

Well, um, thank you.
