There's tea, or ... I dunno if caffeine's the best idea after everything. Could probably make cocoa, or hot milk or something.
[ the cupboards have more than enough things for a hot drink. ]
[ Even if it was nice to be comforted, she still feels like it should probably be her job to take care of him, instead. This feels backwards, so she wants to reverse it. ]
[ i just realised he patted her head but for the sake of sanity and non-retcons i'ma say he had his sleeve over his hand when he did and no one can stop me ]
[ It doesn't count if it's hair, so I think we're good, anyway! And Escha nods, then comes to take over to take both the kinds of cocoa powder. She likes the sweet kind, after all. ]
Really...? Sweets always make me feel better... And cocoa is supposed to be sweet.
Yeah, I don’t usually drink it. [ because it’s sweet. but, y’know. he offered, caffeine wouldn’t be a great idea right now, and having hot milk kinda makes him feel like he should be three and crying a lot, so.
dark cocoa it is. ]
Don’t people go wild for “dark, rich, superior” types of chocolate anyway? [ check the afflicted accent added for emphasis there. ]
Escha also waits before drinking hers, so now they are just standing here in this awkward lapse in conversation because Escha couldn't keep up the chat... ]

after a moment of just looking around the room like he's figuring out what to do, he lifts a hand and drops it on her head - like a head pat. ]
Want a drink?

No, I'm okay. I think it's more fun to drink to celebrate stuff than... [ Well. ]

[ he's already like. bringing down two lots of cocoa powder -- a darker, 70% cocoa kind and a sweeter one. ]

Did you want the darker kind?
no subject

Huh? I know that some people like dark chocolate, but...
[ What is with that phrasing... ]

You prefer the sweeter stuff?
[ i had literally forgotten i wrote that until this tag landed in my inbox ]

Maybe it's true that girls just like sweeter things...? [ She's heard that before, somewhere. ]

You like experimenting when you cook?
no subject
You can make a croquette, or a burger more interesting pretty easily, but I'd mess up if it was like honey bagel or something like a chiffon cake.
[ hm. ] You seem like the type that'd prefer baking something to cooking something though. Or both.
no subject
[ Escha's appetite... and sweet tooth. Big. ]
no subject
And I don't have the patience for baking, or the sweet tooth. Some stuff's okay though, I guess.
