[Or he's not having a mental breakdown about loving pudding at the same time. He will take the water though, offering it in a sort of cheers! Motion before downing it.]
[molly can go ahead and chill out while mineo tries to slice up scallions with a butter knife - the slices aren't pretty but he's at least strong enough to get the job done]
You’re just whining. It’ll be fun. Besides, I could have just lied without telling you I was lying. Now you have a chance for something to be truthful! Personally, I think this is much more interesting.
[Grinning, very much like that’s what he was hoping he’d say.]
Okay okay!
[Anyway, just waiting, fiddling with the phone while he does. He still doesn’t really know how to use this thing, but there’s not much else to do.]
but at least instant ramen is pretty easy - even though he's obviously making it gourmet. he prepares two bowls - and honestly it looks pretty good? think shrimp instant ramen but with scallions, onions, ginger, an egg, and some bell pepper!
as he's sliding it over, he seems to remember - ]
Oh hey, did White-san borrow your phone the other day?
Oh. That’s disappointing. He told someone else I was an emperor.
[Okay! Here we go. He perks up immediately once he starts, and I’m sorry but he’s definitely just using a fork or something like a horrible pleb, or frankly just lifting the bowl and not bothering with utensils. Really pleased though!!!!!]
Fantastic! Every new food is better than the last! Except the spicy pudding. That was a mistake. But it does make this seem even more wonderful in comparison.
[molly needs to fumble through learning how to use chopsticks like the rest of us - but mineo's pausing in his own meal to absolutely bask in the praise hello]
Huhu, I'll take it!! I'm glad you like it! Anytime you want, I'll whip this up for you so long as it comes with your company and a story.
[you can tell he doesn't get praised often.... he's totally sparkling a little...]
My company can come cheaper than that, but a wonderful offer I will never refuse.
[Why does everyone not love and praise Mineo who seems like a very sweet boy who tries hard????? That’s cute. Anyway. Molly reaches into his coat, pulls out his deck of cards and pulls three off the top. Observing them for a second, nodding, and then putting them face up on the table between the two of them.
- A somewhat feminine shape, with the head of a raven, heavily cloaked in inky black feathers sits on a throne. - A tall, strong woman, facing off into the distance - long hair fading from dark to stark white. Lightning cracks across the storm cloud sky, but she’s standing in a field of wild flowers. - A serpent, forked tongue - scales almost a shifting color in iridescent ink, winding around itself in tortured coils.]
[he's so easily awed by anything he hasn't seen before. he actually seems like he's thinking really hard on it? he looks over the three cards, then back up to molly's face like it'll give him a hint, and then back down over the cards. he reaches out to one (the serpent) - pulls his hand back.
he reaches out to the feminine raven........ and pulls his hand back!
and then suddenly reaches back out to the serpent and picks it up!]

My body moved before my brain could react....

no subject
You're right, this one really is terrible!

Alright, what next?
no subject
[at least he's slowly recovering]
It's like - a soup with noodles! And a bunch of other stuff, but I can add that in. Fresh veggies, none of the weird rotting bits in the fridge.
And then you owe me a story!
no subject
[Going to just sit and wait to be served then?]
And you’re right. Is the story up to me, or do you have a theme that you’d enjoy?
no subject
Hmmm, do you have a Greatest Hits collection?
no subject
Actually, I have a bit of a game if you’re interested.
no subject
Huh? Oh, sure!
What're the rules?
[don't just agree without knowing what you're agreeing to hello]
no subject
[Don’t worry it’s not a terrible game. Just a little funsies.]
no subject
Are cards part of your hobbies too? Like fortune telling?
no subject
Here’s the thing - two of the stories are going to be a lie, and one is going to be true.
no subject
[he's just whining, ignore him]
no subject
no subject
[hmmmm
but he at least otherwise seems to be a good sport about it, shaking his head. seems harmless enough.]
Alright, alright - but I better be getting a good story no matter whether it's true or false!
[this is now dinner and a show]
no subject
[Aw.]
Would you like me to even the odds then? Just two cards, because I feel a bit bad for you.
no subject
No! Make it three! I don't want pity odds!
no subject
Okay okay!

Oh. Yes. Unless he said really fun things about me, then no, it was me.

[but even mineo won't send money to a nigerian prince so]
Tell me how you think the ramen is! Chef Enomoto Mineo's Gourmet Luxury Deluxe Ultra Special Ramen...!
