the way we have to keep rotating posts because people die

I'll be honest, Iris, we appreciate anything you bring.

[ because it is always debatable who can actually cook, frankly. ]

[azuta]

[ . . . ]

I can also help improvise then.

[ she won't make the teenage boys do everything ]

[sixam]

Extra hands isn't a bad idea.

[ haru says he can cook and jonas is like "cool, okay" but also yeah help. ]

[azuta]

Might I ask for a glass of wine to be waiting for me when all the help is done then?

[sixam]

Definitely. I have you covered. [ a nod to the bottle he brought earlier that's set out and ready. ]

[azuta]

Then there's nothing more a young lady can ask for.

[sixam]

As you wish. [ thank you iris, he owes you his life. ] I'm pretty sure it pairs well with the pasta, but I trust you not to hold back when you taste it.

[azuta]

Don't worry, I'm not grading you on some kind of twisted scale. [ he's a baby god not a sommelier ] You all seem to think me the harsh critic.

[sixam]

No, no it's not that. I think it's that we trust you to tell us the truth rather than be polite to avoid hurting feelings.

[ that is sort of the same thing, but he seems to like that anyway. ]

Some might even call it a sign of familiarity.

[azuta]

That's sweet. Well, I suppose you're not wrong that it'd be odd if we weren't at least slightly familiar with each other over the past month.

There are a few people I wouldn't mind knowing better. There are a few other people I don't mind not knowing better. But we all share a common hatred for the situation and I think that helps a lot. People start talking and finding common ground and you learn things about a person. Like how you never arrive empty-handed even when we're treating you as a guest after an extremely long day.

Host is my official job title, you know? I should do what I can to take some burden off of all of you who did most of the running around today.

[sixam]

Now you're starting to sound like me. [ the amount of times he used that answer... ] While I don't disagree with the idea and I do get needing to keep busy, I think all of us want this to be a time you guys can catch a breather, too.

After all, didn't we just agree that it would be a little strange not to know people after this long? [ maya and iris were at the school, scaramouche was... scaramouche, and he figures she must have spoken to strohl enough to form an opinion. it's still a loss and having to recalibrate. ]

[azuta]

[ she just huffs out a breath, amused ]

I really am fine. [ since haru also asked if she was doing okay since she did admit to liking scara. she does seem to be doing better now than she was in trial anyway ] But thank you for the concern. I think the other Hosts appreciate it very much too, and I'm glad for the kindness you extend to them.

[sixam]

[ there's a grin and he does believe it, at least. also good boy haru. ]

Pretty sure all of us are leaving this sort of thing as an open invitation for all of you, so... anytime.
