❝Greetings. You have reached Kamisato Ayato, however, I seem to be occupied currently. Leave a message and if it is important I'll get back to you.❞

Please tell me you're joking.

[acquirement]

Why would I be?

[starryaied]

Are you willing to eat burnt cookies with sugar on top?

[Would you???]

[acquirement]

Everything is worth a try at least once.

[starryaied]

Then come to my place!

Give these cookies a try with sugar on top!

[acquirement]

I don't think that would be appropriate. Perhaps you could bring one to the park and I'll meet you there?

[starryaied]

That sounds fine. Do you want to meet up right now?

[acquirement]

I assume they were fresh out of the oven? Or have they had a chance to cool a bit first? But I can make time now or later today. Luckily you contacted me close to lunch time.

[starryaied]

They have cooled down a bit but are you sure?

You still want to eat burnt cookies with sugar?

[Because really? REALLY??]

[acquirement]

If I haven't tried it, I hardly can judge it, can I?

{ ruby pls. it's just something that burned a bit. }

[starryaied]

Don't say I didn't warn you.

But let me know where you want to meet up. I'll bring some over.

[acquirement]

Have you done a taste test?

And I can be at Blossomcrown Park in around 20 minutes, if that works for you?

[starryaied]

No but I'm not even sure if I'm willing. But I guess that'll change if you're going to.

But that's fine, I'll see you there!

[And off she goes to the Park! Should Ayato look around, he'll see one Ruby Hoshino with a bag of burnt cookies and some sugar by her side. She was hoping she wouldn't regret this...................]

[acquirement]

Oh? Very well, I'll bring something to drink. I hope you like boba tea.

{ at least it will hopefully be tastier than burnt cookies with sugar...

but she'll likely get there first as he needs to pick up the drinks on the way, this time wearing white trousers with a light blue cotton turtleneck, a cup holder in hand with two brown sugar boba teas in place. }

Good afternoon.

[starryaied]

[As she heard a familiar voice, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow or two. For someone who looked so princely, he certainly looked like a regular normal person in that outfit...]

Good afternoon to you too, Ayato-san. [Looking at the boba tea and then back at her bag of cookies, she still wasn't too sure about this...] I'm surprised you're really going through with this. I don't think I met someone who is willing to try weird foods before.

[acquirement]

{ he gives a small laugh in return to that. }

I don't believe we should be dismissive of something until we've tried it at least once. Shall we find a bench to sit down?

[starryaied]

You seem so positive about all of this.

[She still wasn't sure where this was going but she'll play along for now. As pointed to a nearby bench, she quickly sat down before taking out a cookie from her bag.]

Well then, you want to try first?

[acquirement]

Should we not approach everything in life with optimism?

{ not really, but this is harmless in comparison to other things he's faced. }

But very well, I'll try it first. Here's your tea, in case you need something to wash it down with.

{ and then he'll take a bite of the cookie, not showing any expression on his face whatsoever to tell her if it's bad or okay }

[starryaied]

I suppose we should but this is taking it to another level!

[Living life happily and then endangering ones self to eat burnt cookies with sugar is another!! But as he took a bite, she leans with big eyes as she stared in awe.]

....Well? What do you think?

[???]

[acquirement]

{ he chews slowly, swallows the piece of cookie, then smiles brightly. for a second, it probably looks like good news. }

It really is rather bad.

{ ???? TRULY }

[starryaied]

[.........................................................................]

I told you it would taste bad but you didn't believe me! How can you say that with a smile on your face?!

[?????]

[acquirement]

Oh? I never said I didn't believe you, I believe it was more 'you should try it, just in case'. Come now, it's your turn.

{ despite saying it was rather bad he takes another bite, as if to encourage her as well. }

[starryaied]

[Well, there wasn't much she could do. Looking at the burnt cookie and then the sugar, she gave a sigh. If he was willing to try, she might as well. Placing light sprinkles of sugar on top, she closed her eyes and took a bite...!

...

.....

........]

....You're right, it doesn't taste all that great. It tastes so gross!

[She said while giving him a small glare!!]

[acquirement]

{ he laughs when she glares at him, not taking another bite now she's tried it. }

From what I understand you won't learn how to improve it if you can't tell what issues are with it to begin with. Your oven may require a lower temperature so you can cook it for longer, something like that.

[starryaied]

That or I might have left the cookies in the oven for too long.

[She said before dropping her head down low.]

I'm too used to having Miyako-san do all the cooking since I'm always so busy with idol work. I thought I could try and make something on my own....
