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.
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!
[ 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...
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.
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!
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. ]
[ 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!
[ 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."
[ UNFORTUNATELY SHE WOULD BE SO WEAK ANYWAY...... also help not the entertaining ]
"Every inch" makes it sound like I'm falling over myself with gratefulness. It's just a thank you! And how have your feelings not changed?! I've been calling you a huge jerk for months now! And I'm not fickle!
I can't tell if you're willfully ignorant or just living in a fantasy world... You helped me after I hurt my ankle and that's all! If you wanted a reward from me, too bad! All you're getting is a thanks.

surely this can be salvaged (no) ]
Was it not? There were ghouls after us.

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.

Maybe I'll just give it to someone else!

[ but, wait.
give him one second to think about what she just said. ]

he didn't actually expect that. but, then he recovers. ]
Someone else? Who would dare accept something that was intended for me?

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

[ 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.

It's that I was mad about how you treated Ishmael.
[ so she gave her the treat instead. ]

Once I decide not to give it to you, it's not your gift anymore. Anyone can have it!

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

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.

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. ]

he's also not falin... ]
