WHO: Sheep
WHERE:Where ever
WHEN: Evening 60 - Morning 61

[WHAT A DAY HUH? At least by evening the rain starts to let up, and it is noticeably not as cold as it has been. It's a good night for doing whatever, or maybe you're doing dream shit, I'm not your mom.

In the morning, some will notice that along with the storm, there are also no longer patches of snow fluffies, and any snow still on the ground is starting to melt. Additionally, little by little, more wildlife is popping back up in the meadow and forest. With the cold snap gone, it looks like the wildlife scarcity is disappearing, too.

In the cafeteria, there is a small breakfast waiting for those who care for it: coffee or hot cocoa, orange juice, plum tarts, and omelettes made with fish. There is also a banner:

HAPPY ACTUALLY TWO MONTHS IN THE PASTURE SORRY I CAN'T COUNT IGNORE THE OTHER ONE FROM LIKE A COUPLE WEEKS AGO

anyway how yall doing]

So what you are saying, is that I am right to pause.

[readytosqueeze]

When it comes to me? Never!

I'll always be upfront with you, Kittyfish.

[heavyliesthecrown]

[. . . He... feels a little happy hearing that. He can never quite get a read on Rata. But he thinks he is being honest with him right now.]

. . . So you will genuinely show me how to make a tart?

[readytosqueeze]

[ oh he's being super honest c: ]

Sure! I can do that and more. Buuuuuuut if I do that, what will ya do for me in return?

[heavyliesthecrown]

[There is always an exchange!!!]

Um... would you like to come over for breakfast one of these times? We always have plenty of food. Unless you prefer something other than food?

[readytosqueeze]

Wouldn't mind that. Kinda floatin' around now.

[ thinks. ]

What do ya think I'd want instead of food, Kittyfish?

[heavyliesthecrown]

Surely Thistle is still welcoming? [Suddenly a little worried. He has somewhere to stay and sleep still, right?]And at Rose, too?

[ Hah... what else would he want indeed.]

As for the rest, I have no idea. Something related to squeezing though for sure.

[readytosqueeze]

Yeah, 'course they are. I think it's 'cause I got many options, I like lettin' the currents take me wherever I end up bein'.

[ his eyebrows raise as his grin widens further ]

Would you wanna be squeezed?

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ . . . ]

Right now, I suppose I would not mind it so much.

[readytosqueeze]

[ well he's going to take that as an invitation... and just pull crescendo against him. ]

Heh. Easy! An' I didn't have to show ya anythin'.

[heavyliesthecrown]

[Dragged into a hug, he doesn't actually protest it. Instead, he allows himself to be enveloped. The past week has been physically and emotionally exhausting. Maybe he just needs a little sign of affection. Though he has no idea what is going on inside of Rata's mind. Is he physical by nature? Most likely. Does he just like teasing him? Maybe to an extent.

Whatever it is, he will give himself a headache if he stresses or lingers on it too much, so for now, perhaps it is okay to be selfish for once and soak it in.]

I am sure that you will show me how to make the tart.

[readytosqueeze]

[ in the end, it really is a little bit of everything. fun to be handsy. fun to constantly wrap himself around someone. and while crescendo's reactions haven't been as entertaining as they could be... they're enough ]

Well of course. [ squishes the boy! ] It's really not that hard in the first place, eheh.

[heavyliesthecrown]

Do you do a lot of cooking at home? In that restaurant?

[His brother has told him a little about it.]

[readytosqueeze]

Eh. Sometimes, kinda depends on my mood.

[ like a lot of things tbh ]

Might be more fun doin' it here. 'cause I don't know what ingredients ya got... so keep 'em a surprise.

[heavyliesthecrown]

Dealing with you is like rolling for a gacha. You never know what you are going to get in any given moment.

[readytosqueeze]

... is that somethin' you like?

[heavyliesthecrown]

I enjoy knowing what to expect and certainty. One can not properly plan for something if they are always changing.

[readytosqueeze]

You really enjoy that kinda thing?

Not sayin' that's borin' or anything but it is~

[heavyliesthecrown]

You realize you just literally called it boring, you know.

[readytosqueeze]

No I didn't.

[ touches crescendo's cheeks. ]

Ya didn't hear nothin'.

[heavyliesthecrown]

[What will he do if he reaches up and smooshes his cheeks in turn?]

[readytosqueeze]

[ he grins toothily

and to make sure it's easier for crescendo, who probably has to stretch a little......

the eel picks him up ]

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ His feet dangle right off the ground. He stares at him for a moment, before... his hands drop.]

It does not work if I am trying to tease you and you just help me do it. [OTL]

[readytosqueeze]

Ya can try somethin' different.

[ continues to awkwardly hold him. ]

Aren't ya a smart Kittyfish?

[heavyliesthecrown]

It sounds as though you want me to! If I do, you are not allowed to regret it after the fact.
