Well, I still didn't FORCE you...

[ but yes she was shrieking and terrified and anyone who saw them talking would think he's terrible for leaving her behind. still. ]

I don't think knights usually go asking for their rewards either!
Shouldn't the good deed be enough? That's the more noble thing, right?

[uncourteous]

Who knows? Maybe after the ferocity in which you have chastised me in times past, I had no choice but to listen to your every whim. Spoken or not. [ very likely story, of course. ]

Do you not believe being "noble" is a touch overrated? Why should knights live as martyrs?

[picky]

That just means you're putting words in my mouth! That's not right!!!

[ this would be more romantic to her IF callisto wasn't using this as an excuse for REWARDS! ]

And being noble isn't the same as being a martyr! Your life wasn't in danger at all!

[uncourteous]

I think most would call it being "considerate." Is it not like knowing when a lady's glass is running low, or whether she is looking for a partner for a dance?

[ i'm crying... sorry, he is not a modest kind of guy.

surely this can be salvaged (no) ]

Was it not? There were ghouls after us.

[ CRINGE ]

You and I both know those guys were in costumes!

[ "why was she so scared then" she will decline to answer this ]

I'd say it's more considerate to do something nice without expecting something back for it.

[picky]

For your information, I DID have something I wanted to give you as thanks. It's just taking a while to finish.
Maybe I'll just give it to someone else!

[uncourteous]

Nonsense. With how convincing a certain lady's screams were, how could I possibly tell what's real or fake?

[ but, wait.

give him one second to think about what she just said. ]

[uncourteous]

[ oh...

he didn't actually expect that. but, then he recovers. ]

Someone else? Who would dare accept something that was intended for me?

[picky]

[ she knows this isn't what he means, but the slight possibility that he might be possessive of something she made... makes her heart flutter for a second. just a little. ]

Well, someone would, I'm sure!
If I can ever get the recipe right...

[uncourteous]

And you would keep such shameless company around?

[ as far as he knows, it's already his.

but, at her mentioning the word "recipe." ]

Here, I had thought you had forgotten all about your original promise to me.

1/2

[picky]

It's not that I forgot...
It's that I was mad about how you treated Ishmael.

[ so she gave her the treat instead. ]

2/2

[picky]

And I keep good company, thank you!
Once I decide not to give it to you, it's not your gift anymore. Anyone can have it!

[uncourteous]

Ah, was that it?

[ ... ]

I would argue that the original recipient could still have their feelings hurt, my lady. I had no idea you could be so heartless. Well, no matter, as I will be having the honor of tasting your first.

[ help... ]

[picky]

[ STOP ]

Don't say it like that!!!
It's not the first thing I've made anyway!
I already told you that I didn't give it to you because I was mad! You should have been nicer to Ishmael! Then you wouldn't have gotten your feelings hurt!

[uncourteous]

What?

[ excuse his pardons?? ]

Are you implying you gave away your first in which was intended for me?

[ he will not stop!! ]

[picky]

[ stops herself from asking how he made his letters look like that ]

AT LEAST CALL IT MY FIRST DESSERT!
And I'm not implying it! I'm telling you directly! Someone else got to try it first.

[uncourteous]

Lady... No, Marcy, do you not believe it rather rude to punctuate that point as many times as you have?

[ even if he may or may not have pushed her into it. ]

[picky]

It's MARCILLE! Not Lady Marcy, not Marcy.
M A R C I L L E

[uncourteous]

Odd. I seem to recall you quite liked the name Lady Marcy at one point.

[ 🙂‍↕️ ]

Surely I can't be lower than your second.

[ #hispriorities ]

[picky]

You really think you're anywhere near the top?!

[uncourteous]

Considering you had wanted to give me a gift, not once but twice, I don't believe it to be so far-fetched. [ even if he hasn't been given anything but a meat bun, shhh. ]

[picky]

This time was just a courtesy!
The first time, you asked me to make it for you!
That's totally different!!!!

[ still thinks he's talking about the desserts.... ]

[uncourteous]

Yet you did not seem entirely opposed the first, nor this second.

You will find the less you use "courtesy" as an excuse, the easier your life will be, Marcille.

[ maybe he is, maybe he isn't...

is it because he's not a bishounen on a horse. ]

[picky]

[ yes. also because he has both eyes and short hair and he's not an elf.

he's also not falin... ]

IT WASN'T AN EXCUSE!
The first time, I mentioned wanting to bake and
you were actually really encouraging and supportive about it.
You said you'd try it even if it wouldn't taste good. It was really nice of you

[ and it made her heart flip.... ]

But then you went and ruined it!
This time, it's just to say thanks. That's all! No excuses!

[uncourteous]

[ an au where he suffered an eye injury and grows his hair out...

nvm, he can't compete with falin. ]

Unlike the fickle words a certain lady said on a whim, my own feelings remain entirely unchanged. I would still savor it, regardless of your skill.

[ wait for it.

callisto is typing... ]

Besides, if it came out awful, that may be entertaining in its own right. But, that would be impossible, would it not? After all, it would be created with every inch of your gratitude, correct? "No excuses."
