[ It's fine if he can survive Xie Lian's cooking, your coffee will do nothing to him.

In fact, he crinkles his nose for a moment and looks down into the mug as if he's considering how he feels about... coffee itself, rather than her coffee. ]

A little bitter. Acrid? But it isn't terrible.

[ She gets a pat on her head, a good distraction from the past 24 hours. ]

[siblingless]

[So many headpats... She's starting to kin Futaba.

It is a good distraction from the horrors of the last 72 hours, though. That can't be denied. And after a moment's pause, she hesitantly pipes up with:]

... If the bitterness bothers you, perhaps you would enjoy it more with cream?

[supremity]

[ Unlike the teenagers and adults around Futaba, Hua Cheng just doesn't know how to console or praise people. Also, everyone is smaller than him. rip. ]

Cream? [ He looks down into the cup thoughtfully. ] Alright, I'm willing to try it.

[siblingless]

[The life and times of a tall person.]

Alright. Then... Please, wait here!

[She shuffles off to dig through the kitchen for some cream. Is it the fresh stuff or the powder stuff? We just don't down.]

We can add a little bit to start, and add more if you think it's necessary.

notifs why did you deny me this

[supremity]

[ It's fine he'll deal with his height as he always does: fabulously.

But he leans against the counter with the mug, entrusting this new adventure to her. It doesn't really matter to him if it's fresh or powder, yoink whatever you find, sumi. ]

Sounds like a plan to me. I know there are some that put cream in tea, but coffee's not something that we have in Zhongguo. I'm in your hands.

notifs said we have no rights

[siblingless]

Zhongguo...? Is that where you're from?

[She is a good girl so she will get the good stuff, starting with an itty bitty amount.]

notifs always do

[supremity]

En, it is. Hansa mentioned it sounded Chinese, if that matters.

[ Fuck if he knows! But he lowers the mug to make pouring it in easier, curious. ]

How do you take your coffee?

Re: notifs always do

[siblingless]

I can't say if it matters... But I am familiar with China. It's a country in my world.

[Fuck if they know! Fantasy China, man. She adds a little bit, and then deposits the cream on the counter so they can easily add more if necessary.]

Um... I would say it depends. If the brew is good, I would just drink it black.

[supremity]

So many of you from the same world, though it seems that most of you are adjacent to each other, more than from the same world.

[ He gets a spoon to stir with, before he gives it a try. A pause, consideration, then he inclines his head. ]

This isn't bad. I don't mind the bitterness too much, so perhaps I would be the same, but the cream cuts it nicely.

[siblingless]

It's truly amazing, isn't it? To think there are so many different versions of the same world, and even unique variations.

[She smiles a little, now that he can stomach the taste.]

If we ever have the opportunity to visit each other's world, I would like to introduce you to the café my senpai [uh] works at. They have the most delicious coffee, and curry as well.

[supremity]

It is. We have the three realms - gods, mortals, and the dead - with many far-reaching kingdoms, but this is certainly something I would call "unique." Different worlds and existences overlapping.

[ See, a much better topic to focus on than the fact of DEATH and MURDER. Which, in this thread, were our tutorial ones. Not yours. I now know why no one trusts you. ]

I would take you up on that offer. I'm curious, about the places that people come from. Ghost City is rather different from even this town, though it's even different from most anywhere in Zhongguo.

[siblingless]

Oh! I would say your world is "unique" as well... My world isn't quite as, ah— multifaceted? [Sure, let's call it that.] Is Ghost City part of the realm of the dead?
