[retellers]

Mm. Even if you don't, our hands are still tied with what we can do for people not on our team, but... thank you.

[ a bow. ]

[recrowns]

Mm, it's less a matter of what you can do for me but what I'd like to do for you but...

[he nods]

I understand. I'll avoid putting you in a difficult position.

[retellers]

Ah--you don't have to do anything for me!

[ they do a few bows in quick succession. the fake rabbit ears on their hood flop stupidly. ]

[recrowns]

[sdflkjsf he waves his hand]

Really, you needn't bow so much -

It's alright. It's not out of obligation. I'd like to.

[retellers]

Okay...

[ they trail off. ]

Is there anything else you wanted to talk about?

[recrowns]

[he hums thoughtfully before smiling]

Shall we get to know one another better?

If you're willing.

[retellers]

That's fine, although I apologize for anything I can't answer.

[ amnesia is bad. ]

[recrowns]

Mm, I understand.

[he nods along with that]

Your favorite type of tea? Foods?

[retellers]

Tea... I really like jasmine. Oh, and I like sweets. Cake is nice.

[ they are putting much thought into this. ]

[recrowns]

Oh! We should have tea time then. With tea and sweets - I'll see if someone can teach me a recipe for cake.

[retellers]

They're really fun to make! When we were waiting for you all to show up, I kept myself busy with that whenever I managed to get some free time.

Oh, but what about you?

[recrowns]

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.

[retellers]

I don't mind. It'll feel more comforting that way, if I'm honest.

[ but hm. ]

Street food...? What kind of dumplings?

[recrowns]

Fufu, then let's make a cake! Do you have time now?

[ :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....

[retellers]

I'm free.

[ 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?

[recrowns]

[hell yea!!]

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?

[retellers]

[ they nod and start heading off to the kitchen. ]

Blanca? Hm, you're right, I wouldn't have guessed that he could cook...

[recrowns]

Fufu, he's helped feed me - though his cooking still doesn't quite match up to Sharon or Lup. I'm still waiting to try something of Taako's...

[kitchen time!! i still don't know how to bake but at least that's ic this time]

[retellers]

[ that's fine. rabbit looks around before shuffling over to the pantry. ]

You seem to be befriending all of the good cooks then.

[recrowns]

[he follows after, arms out - he will be pack mule]

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...

[retellers]

Ah, I guess even in a different dimension, secret recipes are important...

[ it's said with a slight laugh. once they find flour and sugar, they'll hand it over. ]

[recrowns]

[he'll take them!]

Do you have secret recipes of your own, Rabbit? Or would telling me defeat the purpose...

[retellers]

... I don't know.

[ they pause, mid-reach for another ingredient. ]

Maybe I do. I guess it would be the ultimate secret right now.

[recrowns]

That's true, no one would be able to get it from you. Maybe you could recreate it and discover it again.

[optimism! that's what he told lup too, after all]

... do you feel as though you miss your memories?

[retellers]

[ hm. they grab the salt and baking powder. ]

It's... a little scary. When you all arrived, you kept asking us why were you chosen, and how you weren't good choices, and we had to keep telling you all that we weren't the ones who decided and that we don't know why it was all of you.

[ the first few days was so much. but. ]

The thing is... I was wondering the same thing, when it was just us six. Why us? Is there something different about me, that made me have this role instead of one like yours? [ they wander out of the pantry to place the items on the counter. ] But I can't even begin to guess.
