[He puffs up very much like an actual proud parent would upon hearing their child praised by a good friend, the little shit.]
He is! He's so mild-mannered! Ah, though he did like causing trouble every now and then, hah. He used to love chewing on my flute - used it like his own personal teething ring! It was terrible to bring it up and try to play something, only to find it's covered in spit already.
Let's see, let's see... Back then, I think A-yuan was four? Five? [HE'S A TERRIBLE FATHER.] But children of any age are messy! You just ended up with strange ones.
[ I'm gonna say Escha is finishing up her little cheesecakes and putting them in the fridge to chill so that they can. Actually go over to the lake and do The Thing! ]
Plenty of adults are messy, too. I heard that you leave half-eaten snacks in your bed.
One of your roommates, of course! You shouldn't leave a mess like that.
[ ..... not that Escha is the tidiest person. she's just. leaving all the dishes she's clearly dirtied out on the counters here in the kitchen. amazing. ]
Aiyo, don't listen to them, they're all terrible. [THE POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK, ESCHA!!! HE SEES. HE SEES!!
But he hums at that, and begins to lead the way out to the lake! Once there, he'll first hold out a dark brown button with a cross down the center.]
Take this, alright?
[And then he'll whip out a pair of pink goggles and wade about thigh-deep into the water. As he's pulling them on:]
This item lets me see in murky water for one swim! Just toss that button wherever and I'll go get it. I shouldn't be able to use these again after that.
[Bless Escha for her kindness and tolerance of his shenanigans.]
Thanks!
[AND AWAY HE DIVES. He. He should have taken off some of his clothes first probably, because when he emerges like 10 seconds later holding up the brown cross button, he's 1) looking like a fullass drowned rat and 2) already shivering a little.]
[It also wasn't raining and then snowing all week last week this gotdamn fool. He rapidly slogs his way back out through the water, holding the button out toward her.]

...I don't mean to pry, but are the two of you really just coworkers?
[Escha and Logy get your shit together challenge...]
no subject
[ trying to get a betrayal task completion, huh wwx??? hm?? ]
no subject
Sorry, sorry! That sort of goodbye, though...
[Is that how coworkers say goodbye?? Hm.
Well, at least he doesn't get to tease her about it, since she gets a memory volleyed right back!]
no subject
still, some of the things he said in that memory... ]
... What a cute kid.
no subject
But the emotional difficulty of facing the memory doesn't show on his face! Instead, he just smiles, bright and fond.]
Isn't he? He takes after his father!
no subject
Who's his dad? A friend of yours?
no subject
He just grins even wider, a twinkle of amusement glimmering in his little demon eye.]
It's me, of course! [What a shit.] After all, I harvested him from the ground with my own two hands!
no subject
You must be a very proud father-farmer!
no subject
I am, I am! You saw that cute face of his. Who wouldn't be proud? Aiyo, there's not a child on earth as well-tempered as that one.
no subject
Very cute. He did seem well-behaved, too. Probably every parent's dream.
no subject

[Thanks A-yuan your father loves his gift.]
no subject
[ is that a cute story??? ]
no subject
Yes, small children tend to be.
no subject
But they might be a little older, so I guess that makes sense...

no subject
Ah - who said that? [THAT'S not wrong at all.] They're only half-eaten for a short while!
[WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN... But whenever she's done, he'll start moseying toward the door.]
Ready?
no subject
One of your roommates, of course! You shouldn't leave a mess like that.
[ ..... not that Escha is the tidiest person. she's just. leaving all the dishes she's clearly dirtied out on the counters here in the kitchen. amazing. ]
Yeah, let's go.

no subject
[ don't get yeeted???? ]
no subject
[THAT IS NOT FINE??]
Anyway, just try to throw it closer to the shallows than the deep. I'm not sure if it comes all the way up here and the water's still cloudy.
no subject
Okaaaay.
[ she tosses it to. idk, a relatively shallow part of the lake! ]
no subject
Thanks!
[AND AWAY HE DIVES. He. He should have taken off some of his clothes first probably, because when he emerges like 10 seconds later holding up the brown cross button, he's 1) looking like a fullass drowned rat and 2) already shivering a little.]
It's cold--!!
no subject
Of course it's cold!
