[...but not right now. Right now is for having fun with friends.]

Well, I wanna get a good view of the fireworks. Wanna come up on the roof of my apartment building with me?

a magician never reveals her secrets, madame

[Luca lets his smile slip at her silence, and it doesn't come back as easy as it should when she invites him up. Silence has always made him worry, when it came to happier, livelier friends of his.]

Ah, sure. [The smile's-- forced, because he can hardly smile when he's worried, but he's trying his best. Especially with not having his question answered. Maybe later.] After you.

I guess I'll just go googling for them then

[i_am_not_cute]

[Pao-lin smiles, and begins to lead the way back to CH7. It's not too far of a walk, but it's enough to continue conversation.]

Oh, did you find the Christmas gifts I left outside your door?

[because someone didn't tag Pao-lin's Christmas post There would've been three bags of baked treats outside of the Innocence apartment on Christmas Day. The two smaller ones were each addressed to Spada and Iria. Luca's would've been a little bit bigger, containing cookies, brownies, and little gingerbread versions of him inside. The attached card had a sketch of a smiling Luca, with the message: Thanks for all the good times we've had so far, and here's hoping we have lots more! Merry Christmas!]

you won't find them anywhere on the web, i assure you!

[subsultive]

[SCREAM i'm sorry i was busy with other shit ;A; and LJ was hatin' on us then-- Luca nods. The sweets had been really good (even though his roommates had teased him -- then still a girl, though -- about the slightly larger bag. He ended up giving a few to Hermana, too, since she hadn't gotten any-- since Pao-lin didn't know her, of course.

... He has the card in a book as a bookmark (and to keep it flat and safe).]

They were delicious. Thank you a lot, Pao-lin. Did you make them yourself?

so dissapoint.......

[i_am_not_cute]

[it's okay, I understand completely and still love you lots bb]

Yup! I made them earlier in the month for practice, since I've never really baked before, and then the ones I gave you I baked the day before. It was tiring, but fun.

all will be revealed in time ♥

[subsultive]

[ty bb ;;]

It sounds it. Mother used to bake sweets too, although they really weren't her strong point. [He chuckles, remembering.] ...Yours taste a lot better than hers, I'm afraid I'll have to admit.

I will wait for that day with bated breath~

[i_am_not_cute]

[That gets a laugh out of Pao-lin.]

Aww, really? Well, I'm glad you think my stuff tastes good. But it seems like all mothers should be good at cooking, right?

♥ p.s. heading to bed-- good night!

[subsultive]

She made the most amazing cheese soup. [And no one else's will ever compare.] It was my favorite.

sleep tight~

[i_am_not_cute]

Oh, that does sound good! I've never tried it before, what's in it? I mean, if there's anything in it besides cheese.

sleep is so good nnngg

[subsultive]

Um... Onions, carrots, celery... Not too much of any of those, just a cup or some! It really tastes good...[-- along with garlic, some wine, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce...]

sleep is delicious like cheese soup

[i_am_not_cute]

[Mmmmmm, Pao-lin's mouth waters just thinking about it.]

I'll have to look up a recipe for it, then. Soup shouldn't be too hard to make, right? If it turns out well, I'll bring you some.

nono, even better than cheese soup *^*

[subsultive]

[I

HE

YOU

Such adoration over here, Pao-lin.]

R-Really? You will?

maybe even better than meatbuns! om nom zzzzz

[i_am_not_cute]

Yeah, sure! I can't promise that it'll be as good as your mom's, but...

ahhh food + sleep is good... eat until you're stuffed and then sleep the winter away...

[subsultive]

I'm sure it'll be wonderful anyway. There's no such thing as bad cheese soup. [TO HIS KNOWLEDGE.]

[i_am_not_cute]

If you say so! What other foods do you like? [Hell, maybe she should just go and poll the rest of her harem circle of friends for their favorite foods, too. It'd be a good way to start learning a wide variety of recipes, and she'd be making other people happy along the way.]

[subsultive]

Um... Creamy things, I guess... I don't have a really big sweet tooth, but I'm not against them either. I'm not really too picky.

[i_am_not_cute]

["Creamy things"? Luca, you are a walking slash joke.]

Oh, that's good, I'm not a picky eater either! I'll try making lots of different things, then. [Idea!] Ooh, maybe I'll start with meatbuns, those are my favorite. Ever had those?

[subsultive]

[Shut up!!]

Uh huh! Not very often, but when we first learned how to make them, Iria and Her really couldn't stop asking for them for a week or so, and we had to go back to town to stock up on ingredients...

[i_am_not_cute]

[CH7 isn't too far now.]

Then when I make them, I'll be sure to make enough for Iria and Hermana, too. [Maybe it'll make Iria hate her less.] Does Spada like them?

[subsultive]

[Well, that's good.]

He likes anything with bread, to be honest. And putting things on bread, like marinades and stuff.

[i_am_not_cute]

That's simple enough! I'm pretty sure I can do that. [So many things to try! She really needs to start keeping a list.

Heading inside CH7 now and ascending the stairs, for a brief reprieve from the chill until they get onto the roof. Speaking of which...]

Oh, I guess I should warn you -- we're gonna have to climb out through one of the windows in my apartment to get to the roof. [Smile.] But it's not that hard, really!

[subsultive]

[Climbing out one of the windows--

This suddenly doesn't seem like such a good idea.] It sounds dangerous.

[i_am_not_cute]

Don't worry, I've done it lots of times, it's no big deal! I'll go first and then pull you up, okay?

[subsultive]

If you say so... Just be careful! You might've not slipped or something the other times but that doesn't mean you're not going to this time...

[i_am_not_cute]

I'm always careful! I haven't done it as much lately because it's so cold out, but we'll definitely clear out as much ice as possible so we don't slip. [Don't worry, Luca, if you fall Pao-Lin will catch you in a bridal carry and then you'll be Hero partners forever. Or something.]
