Fresh fruit...

[ Ayato's input would be very much appreciated here, at least! ]

Do you have a preference for fruit, Ayato? I suppose it would be unusual to say one is "in season", here in this world.

[wayofthehousekeeper]

I've been told 'bananas' are great for energy.

[ Since two certain someones who are definitely not him seem to be constantly on the move. ]

[acquirement]

I have no preference. { does he ever have a preference??? he'll eat what he's given. } So what Thoma suggested is fine.

[mistsplitter]

Alright. Oh, and maybe I'll get some apples, as well. Thoma, you wouldn't mind making some candied apples with those, would you?

[ Something to snack on while working!! ]

[wayofthehousekeeper]

Not at all. We've got a full stock of the ingredients to make it, so unless you'd like to add any additional toppings, you don't need to pick up anything extra.

[ P... please don't request strange candied apples. ]

[acquirement]

Almonds would be nice.

{ does that count as strange???????????? it probably does. }

[mistsplitter]

Almonds?

[ Hmm... Peanuts are easy to find in the grocery, so maybe she'll be able to find almonds in the same aisle. ]

Alright then. Bananas, apples, and almonds. Ah- maybe sprinkles, too. And I should see what Cloud needs, as well. [ If she's out and about already, may as well get stuff for him too! ] He always eats a lot of bread... I think he's run out. . .

[ Dote dote... ]

[wayofthehousekeeper]

[ It is not the WORST... probably... ]

If he's going through an entire loaf a week, I could always teach you how to bake bread.

[ Time to continue enhancing Ayaka's skill set. ]

[acquirement]

{ chilli flakes would definitely have been worse. }

You could take him some of these.

{ indicates to the... many pastries they bought. }

[mistsplitter]

You would?

[ Thoma!!! 🥹🥹🥹 That's so exciting!! She would like to learn from him— whatever it is he is willing to teach her! She will become the perfect wife by emulating Thoma!!!!!!!! 💪💪💪 ]

Yes, please! I would like that very much!

[ She's so delighted she could cry. And Ayato even talking about bringing some of the bread HE bought to Cloud is even more exciting! He's sharing something with her beau!! Look at him... ]

Thank you, Ayato. I shall tell Cloud that these are from you. [ ^_^!! Her brother is being nice to Cloud. This is it. An effort!! Even if he said before that Cloud needs some "work"... ]

[wayofthehousekeeper]

Of course I would. Baking bread is a great skill to learn, and it's a lot of fun to practice.

[ Fun from his point of view, at least. But he's sure Ayaka will enjoy the process, and it's something she could share with Cloud as well once she's practiced enough in it. ]

[ And thank god bread-palooza is finding a home. ]

I hope you won't mind all the trial breads that'll start appearing, Ayato.

[acquirement]

{ he doesn't get why cloud needs to know, but sure. and he needs 'work' for home!!! don't twist his words. }

Of course not, I would try anything either of you offer. { and it sounds like that's the end of it. it really does. but then he's lifting his tea to his lips and speaking over it as his gaze settles solely on thoma. } Especially if you feed them to me personally.

{ thankfully this is not the worst thing he could have said. }

[mistsplitter]

A- ah...

[ ... o- oh. Her brother is so aggressive!

Ayaka decides to finish her tea and her bread quietly now. She should get ready to leave soon so she can give her brother and Thoma the privacy that they deserve.

Please kiss and fuck all you like while she is away... She will do her best to take her time! 🥺 Her brother deserves only the best, so please do your best in pleasuring him, Thoma. ]

[wayofthehousekeeper]

[ Ayato your sister is right there???? ]

[ Ayaka don't just say nothing??? ]

[ Thoma can feel his face heating up immediately in response to Ayato's suggestive words, eyes widening as he shoots a look toward Ayaka then back to her brother. He'd be choking on his bread if he'd been between bites right now, but unfortunately he can't even escape with that sort of excuse. ]

O-Oh, that's. That's great then.

[ Thoma is already dying without hearing Ayaka's inner monologue, thank the Archons he has no idea she Knows. ]

[acquirement]

{ tea sipped, he glances between the both of them, a little surprised at the change that seems to fall upon the room.

maybe he isn't the heathen in the room, he meant as like a cute thing... romantic. it shouldn't be a crime to want to be handfed??? maybe kaveh has ruined what is considered innocent at this point }

Are you both alright?

{ as if this isn't his fault sdkgjnsdg }

[mistsplitter]

Ah, I apologise.

[ She's okay, Ayato!! She promises. Despite how red her cheeks have become, she's still smiling brightly. ]

I'm alright. I'm just... very happy for you. [ It's her excuse for her reaction, but now that she's said it? She actually does mean it. Of course she does. ] For both of you, really.

[wayofthehousekeeper]

[ Have two beaming, innocent smiles right back at you, Ayato, they're definitely not thinking about dirty implications right now or anything. It's not like Thoma's sexuality right now is just Ayato or anything- ]

Oh yes- and thank you, Ayaka. I really am relieved to have your blessing.

[acquirement]

{ given the swift change he's able to understand why, and realises perhaps they probably weren't ready for him to be so blatant about it yet (not quite right, but it'll do).

but the smile on ayaka's face eases his own of concern, it's so vibrant she's practically glowing, and after hearing thoma that does remind him- }

Thank you, though that does remind me... could you wait to tell Cloud? I'd like to tell him myself, when I'm ready to.

[mistsplitter]

I do not think it is my place to tell Cloud.

[ Which is why she only told Cloud of the situation without giving any specifics! ]

I shall wait for you to tell him.

[wayofthehousekeeper]

[ Thoma can only pray for Cloud to find out in the most peaceful way possible... ]

It sounds like you two are getting closer, Ayato.

[ For him to want to tell Cloud the news directly. ]

[acquirement]

{ l o l }

Thank you. { though he doesn't know when that will be yet. these are steps in the right direction, aren't they? speaking of which... }

I've been trying to get to know him when I can.

[mistsplitter]

[ Cloud is an amazing person!! She would gush about him now if the two had never met Cloud before. . . ]

Have you sparred with Cloud yet? [ (bird kicking feet emoji) ] He truly is an amazing swordsman! I think you would be impressed with his combat skills.

[ nevermind she is gushing... ]

[wayofthehousekeeper]

[ He's getting the feeling Ayato's pride as a doting older brother might be kicking in soon... ]

I'd certainly be interested in seeing a match. Between each of you, at this point.

[acquirement]

Interestingly, no I have not. Though, I have done a quest with your dear friend Zack. He's very skilled.

{ or he could just make it seem like he wishes it was the best friend instead KSDFGKSDGK }

[mistsplitter]

[ She's married to them both, Ayato. It's okay. ]

You did?! [ 😍 NOTHING BUT ADMIRATION FOR ZACK, TOO!!! ] Cloud looks up to Zack a lot, too!

He is like a cute puppy with a big and fluffy tail, isn't he? [ He said so himself that's his nickname back home even though he doesn't like it! He is a puppy ☺️ ] And Cloud is a shy cat.

They're very different people, but they have become my best friends in the time that we've known each other.
