[Yes. That part.]

[Excuse the stop start for a minute as he tries his best to not actually set his ceiling on fire.]

[It's fine. He enjoyed what happened before. She offered. Already saw him act like a disaster and still? Pursued him????]

[So what is the worst that could happen? He's interested, she's interested, he was able to go over a few books so he feels a little more sure. (He knows media is not a fully accurate depiction, but it gets him in the right area to work from and that Helps.)]

[And he does want this, he is just also a flustered mess.]


Are you free this evening?

[Both. He likes to be thorough, especially after a certain peach incident. Always read things completely.]

[There is another flustered stop start because it really is! That simple!!!]

Considering last time, probably spare clothes. I have nice toiletries, though the scents are more woody if that's a problem.
Do I need anything? Is protection necessary, considering our biologies? Or wanted?


[Since it sounds like she can't get pregnant and what is getting sick as an immortal.]

[Supplies are important and are far less emotionally harrowing. Touch starved and rejection sensitivity are terrible things, but prep science brain is always strong.]

They don't stain easily. I always make sure they're easy to clean because of the soot and ash.

See you then.
[He hopes she would because he isn't sure what else might be necessary. Instead he focuses on just making sure everything is orderly, and gets the food and himself ready.]

[He answers the door, a new sleeveless red shirt with buttons to make it far easier to get to his neck even with his high collar, and rather tight black jeans.]

[He may regret the tight pants later, but he feels he should be putting in at least some effort for seduction even with the agreement. Its only polite.]

[His hair is already down, with only some pulled back to try and keep it under control for at least some of the evening.]

[His eyes are drawn to the peppers though and his expression lights up.]
Oh, now that is promising! [He will take them and hold open the door for her.] Come in, I was just plating everything up now.

[Food is very important and getting anything spicy enough for his tastes is always a worthy endeavor. It almost distracts him from her touch, but the sparking euphoria is very persistent in being noticed.]

[Especially since he really needs to touch people more often than he does, whoops.]

[He shivers, but he waits until her feet are back on the ground and he moves to close the door.]
The crimson slipper are yours. [Since. He might be inviting her here more. It only seemed practical.]

[Though he scoffs at the commentary about getting the peppers and chuckles.]
You'd think those in charge of such places would have taste buds better than a simple peasant. But it can be quite fun to see the dawning horror on their faces. The supplier I had when we ran the food stand went white when I insisted the numbers and varieties were correct and then ate three of their hottest peppers to make sure they understood.

[It really kind of is. Its NICE when people can keep up with the spice levels.] Nonspecific? [He'll lead the way in towards the kitchen again.]

[There's a tablecloth and place settings and far nicer dishware this time. And even a soft playing of smooth jazz.]

[The laugh he does is downright devious.] It has been a while since I menaced anyone properly. [There are many avenues to release the chaos gremlin and sometimes its just flexing on people to their horror.]

[He hums, pulling out her chair for her.]
That would make sense. It does make me curious if an immortality granting monk would taste better or worse....though the Dragon Girl probably wouldn't appreciate me harassing the scholar. Though I could probably steal blood with them none the wiser...

[That gives him pause because...well, he knows how he gets. He knew Saya was someone to impress, and the closest he's gotten to how...manic he can get had been during their spar when he let himself get pulled into the fire and thrill of it.]

[But that still wasn't what he was like when he was menacing his lessers.]
I...suppose. If you insist. [He tries to not look nervous. It...it was fine? Maybe? Maybe even better, then he'd be ready for when she grew bored of him or however this might end up.]

[....okay, he's not going down that rabbit hole, frowning at the back of her head, and shaking his head, moving over to the stove to get the food and brings it over to the table.]


It would be a fun way to test a theory. The scholar looks a lot like the monk who was quite the rage when I was a child. A means to immortality that was a lot easier to locate than most. He would have been eaten countless times over if not for Sun Wukong. [He sets down the plates and takes his own seat.]

I tried to eat him too, at least according to the legends. That was around the time I was losing control of the Samadhi Fire, and with my age, I can't really remember any of the details.

I'm glad my first dish made an impression, as rushed and simple as it had to be. [He didn't even have meat at the time, but it had helped him recover and was good enough for his palette.]

You offered to help with my parents. [Since.]

[He will Never Say No To That.]

[He would do anything for his parents, so things like refusing help for someone's own potential good isn't gonna happen.]


Its not as if I'm going to just throw you back out and say you could never visit again. That would be rude, and only right to show you around more than just the castle.

From: [personal profile] forgingfires
Oh. Well, strength does not necessarily correlate to food. Though there are a number of extremely very powerful people with a large passion for food, now that I'm thinking about it.

[He blushes at that, feeling a bit called out.] That-I didn't mean unable to take it as unable to take the help. I'll take the help. I would do anything for Mother and Father. The taking it was...more the why, I suppose. [In truth, he's never been OFFERED help for helping his parents, not really. Just an acknowledgement that their goals aligned so they worked together. No one helped him help his parents JUST to help.]

The invitations have started to arrive again. News of father's return has spread and my aiding with the Lady Bone Demon has greatly decreased any desire to ignore our existence while we were still rebuilding. I'm sure there is some party where the host wouldn't be an utter boar.

forgingfires: (Well!)
From: [personal profile] forgingfires
That is a good point. And it is a tragedy to eat something that just tastes terrible, especially when its not necessarily require.

There are a lot of reasons to not offer? Its dangerous, its a lot of effort, it'll take time for me to make the dimensional gate to Kantera's world or wherever you two planned to go. I should actually probably start the ground work for that now...

[There are a lot of reasons to not go out of your way for someone.]

[That gets him to start and then he starts to blush.]
Well....not as such, no. Mother and I have found I can only keep my temper in check so long. Perhaps now they will be more bearable, with the other stressful factors no longer involved, but I suspect it has colored my taste.

But what I like to do- [That]

[Gets a long pause.]

[Its not like he doesn't KNOW what he likes to do.]

[Its just none of them are really show off places? Not really.]


R-racing...?

No, nothing like that, but it is a lot of effort for someone else?

I know, part of it is gratitude for your hibernation cycle, but I'm also not really risking anything myself? The worst case scenarios are it fails. [And...she loses her memories of him which is-]

[Something.]

[There is a stressed look as he thinks that before shakes his head.]
It fails and literally none of the back up plans work, which I really don't think is likely.

Or you go berserk. In which case, I'm in danger of pain, but not death. Dealing with Azure Lion and his cohorts, however? There is risk of that. There is risk of being trapped in your own worst memories, or trapped at least in someone's memories, I don't know how the Scroll of Memories will work for someone not of our world, but the potential is there.

In any case, its just....a lot.

[More than he expects for him.]

[He takes a few bites of his food.]


Tinker.

Building machines. Cars are my favorite, but its just...

There is something about being able to make something, without magic, that can do powerful and amazing things that is...is so immensely satisfying. All it takes is two hands and enough brain power and bits of metal and plastic can become something that literally wouldn't have been able to exist a century ago.

From: [personal profile] forgingfires
[That]

[That is a lot.]

[His hair is smoldering, a lot burn, not an explosive reaction to something that's caught him by surprise, but instead just...trying to take that in as so much in his mind rebels against it. He has to earn his place, he has to perform, he has to be good enough, and all he's managed for Saya so far are promises and some direction, but no results as of yet.]

[But here she's offering to fight for him because its important to him and she's decided she liked him.]

[But why why why, he was a disappointment and a failure, only really succeeding at anything after centuries of work or he's so desperate he will go along with half baked plans with crazy heroes.]

[He....]

[He may have stared for a very long time at his food, trying to just wrap around such a foreign concept.]


I....okay. [It may not be a full acceptance as much. He doesn't know if he wants to fight it, or try to push to understand it.]

[He clears his through, rubbing the side of his neck.]


I'm certainly more animated. Parties are only polite and haughty royal until I try to set someone on fire and get told to go home.
