Week 1, Wednesday - Sandalphon
[Ion's been waiting around in their room for Sandalphon. It's gotten so cold outside, staying in has been the easiest way to keep warm. There's the paranoia too, of course, but he hasn't been moving, so throughout the day if Sandalphon checked on him, there wouldn't have been anything to worry about.
Except, suddenly, when he's back again...]
Before you get upset!
[He turns toward the door and there's a series of scars running down the side of his face. There were definitely not there just earlier in the day.]
Nothing happened!

no subject
It's been a while, but I enjoyed experimenting with coffee.
no subject
[He looks absolutely delighted, his whole face lighting up--the scar doesn't even take away from it.]
I'd love it if you could show me sometime! I don't know very much about coffee.
no subject
If you're interested later, I'll take you to the kitchen and show you the steps. I make a brew every day.
no subject
[He will absolutely continue to be interested in it.]
There are a lot of different ways to brew coffee, aren't there?
no subject
Even one method involves a number of variables that are adjustable. I've only started making coffee again recently, so don't expect too much.
no subject
[He nods, a silent agreement to keep that fact in mind for when the time comes for him to see Sandalphon's coffee-making prowess firsthand.]
I think what matters the most when you're doing what you love is how much heart you put into it. I can already tell that it's something you're passionate about, so I'm sure anything you make will be wonderful.
no subject
Hm . . . Have you ever drank coffee before?
no subject
No...I haven't. Caffeine was discouraged from being a part of my diet.
[He looks a little more determined all of a sudden.]
But I'm sure it couldn't hurt to try your coffee! There's nobody here to say I shouldn't!
[This is it, the height of his rebellion to date.]
no subject
[Correction: it tastes like mud water to an immature palate, and he knows it.]
no subject
That's alright. Everything anyone tries has to be a first experience at some point, right? Even if I don't like it right away, what's important is just that I took the chance and tried something new.
no subject
Then I hope you won't find it too strong for your taste.
[He pauses here, like a thought has occurred to him.]
Speaking of first experience, what are your favorite foods?
no subject
I like parfaits with lots of fruit!
no subject
Parfaits . . . ? I don't know what those are.
no subject
[I hate this.]
Maybe we can ask Sanji to make some!
no subject
[That is a lot.]
But I wouldn't be opposed. There's great deal I've never tried before.
no subject
That's great! We'll try each other's favorite things!
[He really sounds the most like a child that he has since they met, honestly. But it's not just the idea of the food--he finally feels, for the first time, like they're really getting somewhere with one another. Maybe that's dangerous, in a game like this, but all he feels is joy.]
no subject
[Part of it is his going through the motions, saying what's polite and returning what's given to him in kind. Then there's the other, smaller part that thinks this could be something more meaningful—and dangerous. He'll have to be careful.]
