[He blinks at that, almost...perplexed.]

... You do not see yourself very clearly, do you?

[mombastic]

... Eh?

[ She can see perfectly fine?? ]

[discard]

[Does she really not see how much she's done for him? Maybe that's why she never asks for anything in return.]

... Never mind it. It was just an observation. Even so, accept that I am telling the truth--you don't owe me anything.

[mombastic]

[ Look, this is what happens when you put all of your attention on other people. ]

All the same... well no, we'll just go in circles at this rate. Is the tea okay?

[discard]

Yes, it's acceptable.

[He likes it.

But.

He can't say that, obviously.]

This is the sort of tea I am more used to.

[mombastic]

Oh! If I'd known that earlier, I could have stocked more of it... I'm glad to hear it, though.

[ she'll be ready! ]

[discard]

It isn't as though you have to go to any particular trouble for my sake.

[Calm down, mom!!!]

It is just what I was used to being served at the manor.

[mombastic]

I see... but if you like it, I don't have a problem with keeping it on hand.

[ It's a little healthier than sweets. ]

[discard]

... If you want.

[He certainly won't stop her.]

It is not as though the other teas you served were so terrible either.

[mombastic]

I'm glad to hear that! All the same, it's nice to have your preferences, isn't it?

[ It's gonna happen. ]

[discard]

I suppose.

[Yes, yes it is.]

Stahn seems obsessed with trying new things here, but I fail to see what is wrong with the familiar.

[Leon's just picky.]

[mombastic]

Personally, I'd recommend a mixture of both. Familiarity for the security, and the unknown for a new sort of excitement.

[discard]

Hmph. That is just like you.

[A perfect happy medium compromise.]

Regardless, I won't be changing my opinion.

[mombastic]

No? Well, that's up to you... but there really are some amazing things out there I think you'd like.

[discard]

It isn't as though finding new things to taste is a priority for me.

[Seeing as how he's dead and all.]

[mombastic]

Actually, speaking of... did you want to try that parfait?

[ shut up, son. ]

[discard]

[...shut up, mom.

he picks it up at that, huffing under his breath.]

It is not as though I was in any particular hurry--I am not fond of things like this.

[Yes he is.

He's totally going to take a bite now. And it's... heavenly sugary bliss. Ah..........]

[mombastic]

Well, if you don't want it--

[ AS HE EATS IT... ]

[discard]

[STUFFS ANOTHER BITE IN HIS MOUTH]

My manners are not so poor that I will turn away a gift.

[HMPH!!!! (No, he just likes it.)]

[mombastic]

Mm, but it helps to know what gifts you like, so I'm not giving you something you'd have to force yourself to eat.

[discard]

[mom, he loves you but you're not getting him to admit he likes sweets]

... Tea is fine, I suppose, if nothing else.

[mombastic]

[ She knows it in her heart. ]

I can work with that!

[discard]

But... I am not particularly picky even so.

[Lies.

He's a child.]

[mombastic]

Oh? All the same, you've given me a few options.

[ Which she'll abide by. ]

[discard]

...Well, do what you want. For now, I still have no issues with being the one to cook.
