Yes, it's quite amazing when you think about it. But it's also one of his high points. Usually it's not much of a problem, but when there's such a low stock...

[dreading.]

[zerointegrity.livejournal.com]

Mm, so will you be needing me to contribute a few cakes until you can replenish your stock?

[spectaculaire]

Only if you want to, Lelouch! I don't want to trouble you and your offer alone is already more than enough!

[...but secretly, yes. yes he does.]

[zerointegrity.livejournal.com]

I enjoy being in the kitchen so it would be no trouble at all. Did you wish to learn how to bake a cake yourself?

[spectaculaire]

I know how to bake a few from the years I've lived in Somarium—[since. well. when first running the cafe there weren't any NPCs around...|Da;]—but I wouldn't mind learning more. Ah, but I wouldn't want to intrude on anything or be a bother.

[zerointegrity.livejournal.com]

You wouldn't be a bother... After all, I was the one who suggested this. I'd like to learn more about this... host club? Is that what you call it? And, anyway, I'm sure Nunnally would love to meet you if she hasn't already.

[spectaculaire]

Oooh well...if that's the case then sure! I'd love to! I still have to let Clovis try the instant ramen.

[zerointegrity.livejournal.com]

Clovis is aware of the contents and nutritional value of instant ramen, is he not?

[spectaculaire]

...I'm not sure.

[zerointegrity.livejournal.com]

It would be best for you to keep that information from him, otherwise he would never try them.

[spectaculaire]

I'll keep that in mind.

[zerointegrity.livejournal.com]

Please do. Clovis is... a special individual.

[spectaculaire]

Well I can tell that he's used to the royal style of living. [completely missed what he meant.]

[zerointegrity.livejournal.com]

I'm sure that the two of you will get along famously. You seem to have a lot in common.



Ah, and do let me know if you find enough cakes for your friend.

[spectaculaire]

You really think so? [STARRY EYED.]

Of course! Thank you for your help as well, Lelouch.

[zerointegrity.livejournal.com]

I do.



Call me if you need anything else, Tamaki. I'm always willing to help out in the kitchen. It was wonderful speaking with you today.

[spectaculaire]

We all really must get together one day. I'd love to learn more about your family.

But I'll keep that in mind, Lelouch. It's been a while since we've really talked, hasn't it?

[zerointegrity.livejournal.com]

It has been a while. I've been rather busy since the arrival of my younger sister... Perhaps you can join the two of us for lunch one day in the future.

[spectaculaire]

[that's what you think.]

I would enjoy that. Whenever we're both free, then.

[zerointegrity.livejournal.com]

I'll talk to you soon, Tamaki. Until then, take care.
