No. I came for the cake. [ he holds up her the slice. ]

[wheft]

[ :/ ]

Does that mean you don't have any friends to get you food at all?

[rikugan]

I can get myself food. [ he's a grown ass man!! ]

[wheft]

From other people's plates??

[rikugan]

Why would I do that when I can get my own?

[ no idea what she's talkin' 'bout. ]

[wheft]

[ she clicks her tongue. ]

Get me another one, then.

[rikugan]

You have arms and legs, don't ya? [ he waggles the fork at her. ] Don't be lazy. Go get your own.

[wheft]

Says the guy who's been floating around??

[ hmm. ]

I'll let you choose a flavor. Can't you even do this one tiny thing?

[rikugan]

[ he's just gonna ignore that first comment. ]

Devil's food. That one's the best. [ it's rich chocolatey goodness. ]

[wheft]

I meant getting me that--

[ UGH. just... drags her hands down her face...... ]

[rikugan]

I know you're short, but...

[ he looks at her.

looks at the table.

looks back at her. ]

You're still taller than the table.

[wheft]

[ peeks at him through her fingers. ]

I'm actually taller than most women here, thanks.

[ her white woman height........ ]

Can't even do a single thing for his own teammate... Then again, almost everyone in our group is an individualist...

[rikugan]

[ tbf he is 6'4"+. everyone's short to him. ]

You haven't done a single thing for me either.

[wheft]

What? Yes, I did!

[ wait.... did she............. ]

[rikugan]

Yea? What did you do for me?

[ he calls bull. ]

[wheft]

[ she opens her mouth, about to point out that one time at the tree, but that was only a one-time thing, huh......

she shuts up and sighs. ]

...Nothing. Not yet. But that doesn't mean you can just take my cake and literally eat it too.

[rikugan]

[ he is taking another bite of """her""" cake when she makes that comment. bright blue eyes widen behind a pair of sunglasses in bewilderment. ]

Your cake? [ he lifts the plate to look under it. ] Are you sure? 'cause I can't see your name anywhere on it.

[wheft]

Don't be fucking pedantic around me.

[ she's serious here!!!!! ]

[rikugan]

But I really don't see your name on it.

[ translation: so what're you gonna do 'bout it? ]

[wheft]

[ man. it'd be so easier to kill him on the spot right fucking now. but again, this city does not function the same as the City back home so that's already a wash. and who knows what this guy is really capable of...

she sighs again. ]

Never mind. Just lost my appetite.

[rikugan]

[ he would welcome the attempt whole-heartedly tbh ]

Haha. Sensitive, aren't you?

[wheft]

[ lbr there's just no way she can beat him but. you know. they don't know that yet. ]

I'm just tired of talking to a damn wall. [ plops her chin on her hands. ] Surely you have other people to steal cake from. Shoo.

[rikugan]

[ she doesn't need to tell him twice. he won't overstay his welcome, so he's just gonna ✌️ glide away now. ]
