She is a little of a slouch, if you’re honest… “The thing is that his love for cooking supersedes any of my attempts to make a meal. All I can do is practice on the side, maybe make breakfast every now and then.” She wants you to love her cooking!
“I’m remarkably capable of cooking a perfect meal, but as Ruby says, my dear Teacher likes to show off. Everyone deserves the spotlight now and then.” Ichie wants to show everyone what she’s made of.
“He’s a good hand, no need to rock the boat.” Suan De keeps it simple.
“Bet you like getting all of these compliments, eh, Knockout?” Crossbill nudges you.
“Your smiles are all I need...” You adjust your glasses.
“Yet I want to provide you with so much more.” Ruby wants to reciprocate!
“Well, I need seconds. Your smiles are underway!” Crossbill continues eating! She’s stealing Nariko’s catchphrase!
“After we’re done, I was wondering if we should do something together.” You want to have a fun time. “Ichie, you’re the newest one here, do you have anything in mind?”
“I’m glad you asked, Johnny!” Ichie takes this chance with glee. “I know the perfect activity to learn about each other in the most profound ways!”
“<span class="mu-i">Drawtionary…?</span>” Ruby is reminiscing about something akin to what Ichie is describing… if your protegee was a pervert.
“Incorrect! It’s the <span class="mu-s">King’s Game</span>!” Ichie proclaims with enthusiasm. “I read it online! A perfect activity to play with friends.”
“…” Suan De is already zoning out.
“What’s that?” You ask.
“We all draw a straw with a number on it. The one who draws the King proclaims a royal decree that one of the numbered peasants must do!” Ichie says. “For example, if I’m the King, I will order Peasant Number 3 to tell me one of their deepest secrets, and the peasant must comply!”
“You’re forcing secrets out of people then…” Crossbill reads your apprentice’s real intentions.
“Me? I couldn’t possibly have those types of intentions. But if you desire another activity, I’m willing to listen. I’m that compassionate.” Ichie tenderly smiles.
“I’m not the kind of person who keeps secrets.” Ruby is willing to do it.
This could be dangerous, you might want to pivot...
