Gradually - there's six of you and only one of me, and I prefer private conversation so it's a bit different than running into all of you in town... but I think I'm progressing.
Once we separated into groups again, yeah. Or when we're just hanging around... it's mostly just weird when we all have to gather together for official business.
[ there's a soft laugh. ]
Well... it'll be fine, probably. I think we're just still adjusting to this.
Oh, you were baking? Maybe we could bake together instead - if you don't mind putting in some work for our tea party.
[he smiles]
I enjoy all teas - though I've been partial to floral teas lately, since it reminds me the most of home. And I like.... street food! [ah yes the palate of a royale] I learned how to make dumplings the other day.

Why do you ask?
no subject
[ they're quiet for a moment, but they eventually continue. ]
Things have just gotten a little tense between us since the weekend, so I wonder if everything is still normal when they're talking to you all.
no subject
Ah, I did hear that... Well, as far as I can tell, they're interacting with me normally.
But are you doing alright? They're your fellow Leaders, after all. Did you get along better before the weekend?
no subject
[ there's a soft laugh. ]
Well... it'll be fine, probably. I think we're just still adjusting to this.
no subject
I don't buy into the competition aspect of all this very much, to be honest - so I'd prefer to provide assistance where I can instead.
no subject
[ a bow. ]
no subject
[he nods]
I understand. I'll avoid putting you in a difficult position.
no subject
[ they do a few bows in quick succession. the fake rabbit ears on their hood flop stupidly. ]
no subject
Really, you needn't bow so much -
It's alright. It's not out of obligation. I'd like to.
no subject
[ they trail off. ]
Is there anything else you wanted to talk about?
no subject
Shall we get to know one another better?
If you're willing.
no subject
[ amnesia is bad. ]
no subject
[he nods along with that]
Your favorite type of tea? Foods?
no subject
[ they are putting much thought into this. ]
no subject
no subject
Oh, but what about you?
no subject
[he smiles]
I enjoy all teas - though I've been partial to floral teas lately, since it reminds me the most of home. And I like.... street food! [ah yes the palate of a royale] I learned how to make dumplings the other day.
no subject
[ but hm. ]
Street food...? What kind of dumplings?
no subject
[ :D ]
Deep-fried dumplings - I'd like to take the recipe I learned and adapt it. When I was a child I had some with plum bean jam....
no subject
[ and because of pc logic, no one will call for them in this period of time. ]
I see... who taught you to make them here?
no subject
To the kitchen then? If you'll direct me on how to make it, I've become quite the assistant.
[but he looks pleased]
Ah - it was Blanca. Unexpected, isn't it?
no subject
Blanca? Hm, you're right, I wouldn't have guessed that he could cook...
no subject
[kitchen time!! i still don't know how to bake but at least that's ic this time]
no subject
You seem to be befriending all of the good cooks then.
no subject
Lucky!
Though I'm lucky that they're willing to teach me too - even if there are some secret ingredients I'm not allowed to know...
