A little bit. But I'm also not used to people saying the things they really mean. [Absolutely cursed to work with some of the most cryptic people in the universe.]
[There's a very brief image of a black cat, before it's replaced by a tall black haired man.]
Sure. He's a caring person when you really get to know him. But when you talk to him he says things like "temptations will show up again"... And you have to figure out it means he's worried about you.
[ as for him... the image is a terse-looking white haired man, a few years older than himself. ]
The amount of times I had to yell at this guy to just tell me what he actually meant instead of talkin' around things is insane. He's better at it now, and we-- [ egh. ] mostly get along, but... yeah.

[ he'll fix a plate for himself and sit across the counter from her. ]
What did you get up to? Once you... were over there.
no subject
I was learning how to bake?
no subject
[ huh. ]
What were you making? I sent some shortbread over one time, but there probably wasn't enough for everyone...
no subject
I made some sugar and chocolate chip cookies. The first couple of batches were pretty burnt. Creating things is harder than it looks.
no subject
[ he laughs, lightly. everyone burns the first few batches. ]
Baking's hard on its own, but it's a good place to start. You enjoyed it?
no subject
Yeah, Lailah is really easy to talk to, and Kiraman is smart.
I did. There's something really satisfying about getting to eat your work.
no subject
[ hmm... ]
Would you like to learn to cook with me, sometime before we go?
no subject
no subject
[ with everyone back... ]
It's really nice to see you happy, Firefly.
no subject
[ Cooking in a big group sounds like fun. ]
You're a really kind person, aren't you Chrono?
no subject
I don't think so in particular? I'm just normal.
no subject
[ What's normal for one person is something special to somebody else. ]
Still, I think you're kind.
no subject
[ ...he frowns at her, concerned. ]
Is this... because of what happened? You're expecting somethin' else?
no subject
[There's a brief pause.]
A little bit. But I'm also not used to people saying the things they really mean. [Absolutely cursed to work with some of the most cryptic people in the universe.]
no subject
[ man. rough. ]
What do you mean by not being used to it?
no subject
Most of the people I work with... Really like to be cryptic. [They're so difficult, but there's also a lot of fondness when she talks about them.]
no subject
Y'know, I think I know the type. Tell me about 'em?
no subject
Sure. He's a caring person when you really get to know him. But when you talk to him he says things like "temptations will show up again"... And you have to figure out it means he's worried about you.
no subject
chrono laughs lightly, nodding. ]
Yep, definitely know the type. Your... partner? A friend? Or just a coworker?
no subject
All of the above. We work together pretty often.

no subject
[ What a stern looking fellow. ]
It's a little annoying to have to deal with that type, huh? But at least it's... better now? [ Mostly. ]
no subject
[ an interesting term. ]
Yeah, definitely annoying. But... when you work out what they actually intend to mean, it's usually okay.
no subject
As long as you have practice with how they word things, that usually helps.
