-She shook her head, delicately taking the dessert between her fingers and taking rather small bites. It was delicious.-

[colony_brat]

[Of course it is. Duo's quite good at what he does... it's just the only thing he can make that won't kill the poor girl. Everything else he makes is questionable at best. He's going to sit on the floor near her feet. He's afraid to crowd her.] 's that what you had in mind? I don't make a lotta dessert pizzas.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

It's... quite good, actually.

[colony_brat]

Good! I was worried. Figured you wouldn't ask for another one if ya didn't like it. [Duo's going to smooth out his skirt a little, very proud of himself.]

-She feels like she should say something more, but she just keeps eating in those tiny tiny bites. She's so delicate.-

[colony_brat]

[It's rather interesting for Duo to watch someone show such manners. He normally tries to wolf food down as fast as he can, before it's gone.]

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

You... have a definite talent, Duo.

[colony_brat]

Thanks, gor- Patchouli. I need a nickname for ya. One that doesn't make ya mad at me. [He flicks some of his hair behind his shoulder.]

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

You may call me "Patchy". It's what Remi has always called me back home.

[colony_brat]

[He's going to chuckle a little.] Patchy. I like that. It's cute and it fits ya.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

... Please don't call it 'cute'.

[colony_brat]

Oh come on. Why do ya hate that word so much? Or any compliment really?

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

Just... please.

Not right now.

[colony_brat]

[Duo sighs and leans back a little. He has to shift around to keep from showing what he's wearing under his skirt and he glares at the skirt for a moment like it's its fault.] Alright. I'll behave.

[That's one order he'll follow and not because of the Malnosso's influence.]

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

Thank you...

... would you like some?

[colony_brat]

I made it for you. [It's not really an answer, but Duo's also having a problem taking food from her. Having her crying and then taking care of her has brought back a lot of what he dealt with as a child and he wants to make sure she's cared for. Just thinking about taking food from her, even when she clearly can't eat it all, feels wrong to him.]

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

And I want to share it with you. You've done so much for me tonight...

-She feels odd. It's been decades since she felt truly cared for like this. Not since Remilia found her in Paris...-

[colony_brat]

I made ya cry. The least I could do was help clean your face after. 's not that big of a deal.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

You've more than made up for it.

[colony_brat]

Well, I gotta try at least. You're feelin' better now, right?

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

-She nodded, taking another bite.-

[colony_brat]

Good. I'd rather see ya mad than upset like that.

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

You've eased my troubles, Duo... you didn't have to.

[colony_brat]

[waving his hand] I told ya, I made ya cry, it was the least I could do. Do I need ta say it more times?

[1week-wizard.livejournal.com]

You shouldn't feel responsible for that breakdown...
