Contestant!

[he'll just move to set the table so that they don't get crumbs everywhere.... these good children]

[frilly]

Hmm... Boy or girl?

Or does that narrow it down too much?

[usogi]

No, that's okay. It was a boy.

[frilly]

Yu-kun?

[usogi]

This does seem like the kind of thing he'd be good at, huh?

Bzzzzt, nope.

I'll give you two more guesses, Madopyon!

[frilly]

He's the one that helped me make the cheesecake. And cookies when we first got here, too!

[ hmmmm... ]

... Jude-kun?

[usogi]

Jude-kun is so nice! Ah, maybe he'd like one of these... I don't know if they'd be as good if I brought them to him tomorrow though.

[he hums thoughtfully]

Wrong though. One more!

[frilly]

[ full of very deep doubt: ]

Takaomi-kun?

[usogi]

He'd never do that for me in a million years.

[frilly]

No, huh?

[ she didn't have much faith in that guess. ]

[usogi]

If only. I'd never let him live it down.

It was.... drumroll please!

[frilly]

[ she is conveniently busy pouring tea ]

Um...

[usogi]

[HE CONTINUES ANYWAY]

It was Uchiha!!

[and he proceeds to cackle madly like he's a fucking genius]

[frilly]

Ehh, that was nice of him.

[ why doesn't she sound appropriately surprised???? ]

[usogi]

[ . . . . . . ]

I mean yeah but -

Madopyon, why aren't you more shocked....

[frilly]

Should I be...? He seems nice.

[ the answer is: because she doesn't know him well enough to realize it's unusual ]

[usogi]

[oh my god]

I...

You know what? Yeah. I'll agree with it. He's nicer than he looks sometimes.

[frilly]

The ninja stuff sounds [ depressing ] intimidating, but...

[usogi]

[ . . . . ]

You should talk to him more. He's kind of intense but... I think it'd help if he had more people looking out for him too.

He's not bad just - really stubborn.

[frilly]

Okay. I'll be sure to talk to him more.

[ okay, she's setting tea for both of them on the table, and bringing over a slice of cheesecake each! let the very low-key sweets party officially commence!! ]

I know he's not bad. He told me he just wants to rebuild his village, and keep peace.

[usogi]

[god bless these good children

. . . . . senri looks like he wants to say something but doesn't.]

People really trust you a lot, Madopyon.... I heard you even got through to Ray-kun.

[frilly]

Got through...?

[ she... is so genuinely confused. ]

Ray-kun is nice, too.

[usogi]

He is, isn't he? But he's soooo paranoid.

[he says it fondly at least]

I'm glad he's getting more friends.

[frilly]

Me too.

His world - I think it's really scary. So I can't blame him for being that way.

[usogi]

It sounds like it, doesn't it? I hope that whatever he's wishing for will make life easier for him.
