All right, but I wouldn't let you live if you got stomped by one.

Why is that— [OKAY.] Well, not only is that not going to happen, but now I wouldn't let you live if that happened to you.

All right, but you can fight and apparently you have abilities? I'm just an ordinary person who knows basic self-defense and not much more.

Consider learning more. Also, I am going to throw this corn at you.

[he is not but that's the sentiment.]

What?

[ HOW IS HE MEANT TO PREPARE FOR CORN? ]

[doesn't do this but seems satisfied at jacopo's reaction.]

It's rude to throw things at people.

[ so you know AS IF YOU DIDN'T ]

I'll make a note of that alongside swearing in front of you.

As you should.

[ Here is pasta made specifically for you. ]

[stands here thinking about how in reap someone punched him and reap jacopo was mad about this for some reason and even though setz told him to mind his own business because that was HIS toxic mental-health-ruining friendship thank you, jacopo then went off and got into a fistfight with the guy in public and yet THIS jacopo is telling HIM to not throw things at people because it'd be rude? the audacity.

anyway, he stares blankly at the pasta like somehow he didn't expect food for him outside of the corn jacopo already gave him. awkwardly takes it.]

... Thank you.

[ Unfortunately, Setz, it is rude to throw things at people... And if you got punched he would also get mad........ You have to fight back? Do something about it? If you don't, he might instead? These two reactions can exist in the same person.

The pasta is a bit simpler than what he had added just after for the rest of them. ]

You're welcome. [ ... ] You really have to loosen up some more.

[he does look a bit grateful at the simpler pasta since he's making assumptions about why it's that way.

to the remark, though:]

Huh?

[ Don't think too hard on it. ]

You just seem stiff as usual.

... This is how I always am.

I've seen you relax before.

[blinks at him like YOU HAVE? or YOU REMEMBER THIS SPECIFICALLY?]

What?

[ PLEASE ]

When was this...?

Didn't I invite you over on Wednesday?

Oh, you mean that.

[a pause]

... It was... nice listening to you play.

[setz is not self-aware enough to know if he relaxed or not but it sounds plausible to him so that's his acknowledgment.]

... You didn't even notice?

[ help ]

... Sorry...

All right. That isn't something you apologize for.

[A LOOK OF WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM HIM!!]

... I did enjoy it, though.

[ squints at him, but stops that. ]

Come by again whenever you want to listen.

[ His tone is very "good answer." ]
