[Getting a little bite to match! ...And then sniffing it just a little, but he can't smell anything particularly off or unpleasant about it.]

—Okay, ready! Let's get this over with.

[IT'S NOT EVEN AN OFFENSIVE DESSERT.]

[majinken]

Okay...

[time for the countdown!]

Three, two, one... go!

[and he'll shove the spoon in his mouth, tilting his head to the side before his expression lights up a bit.]

Oh! It's pretty good! [it definitely tastes like sesame, but is still pretty sweet and creamy. it goes pretty well together, stahn thinks.]

[sharplydressed]

[And taking a bite at the same time!]

Hm...

[Kashuu takes a little more time to deliberate, but honestly, he finds it pretty good... He's not a fan of overly-sweet things to begin with, so this is a good balance to him.]

It's not too sweet, but it still has a good flavor... I like it! I might like it better than mine, a little.

[majinken]

Right, right?

[stahn seems pretty elated by it, honestly. he takes another scoop, mulling it over as he absorbs some more of that sweet sesame flavor.]

I think I like it a lot better... I don't really eat that much chocolate, though! [stahn is definitely a more savory person. he's such a meat and potatoes kind of guy that it's probably not suprising.]

[sharplydressed]

[Guess who has two thumbs (i accidentally typed thugs first, incredible) and wouldn't be at all surprised to learn Stahn is definitely a Meat & Potatoes Guy™? It's him, it's Kashuu.

He tends to go for more savory things too though, so he can agree with that...]

Yeah, it's usually too rich for me to eat too much at once. This- [Pointing to Stahn's ice cream!] -is the kinda thing you can eat a bunch of, you know? ...Which prooobably makes it more dangerous.

[Like, for a person's waistline. As if he, the sword, actually needs to worry about that.]

[majinken]

[kashuu could have two thugs, probably.]

Yeah, I guess so! I don't think I'd eat that much anyway... even if it's not as sweet, it would probably just make us sick to eat too much!

[or, stahn at least. #humanproblems???

either way, a normal serving of ice cream is probably all he's up for. a bunch of steamed meat buns? that might be another story, though.]

[sharplydressed]

[Thug 1 and Thug 2, the new Dr. Seuss story ft. swords.]

D'you think so? [Peering at his own ice cream...] I don't think eating too much ice cream has ever made me sick, but maybe I just haven't been eating enough.

[AND HE'S KEEPING IT THAT WAY. The last thing he wants is to test the limits of his fakey fake human body.]

[majinken]

Maybe that's just me? If I eat too many sweets, I don't feel too good after, though!

[he's a surprisingly healthy eater for the most part, though maybe it's not surprising. growing up on a farm where everything is pretty fresh—and having to do a lot of work, and then being a swordian master where he needs to be active and in shape.

for all that he can be all about sleeping in and having fun—some things, he's pretty legit about.]

[sharplydressed]

Maybe your stomach just isn't built for dessert.

[That is not how stomachs work at all but it's not like anyone should really expect him to understand that... Good try, Kashuu.]

Well! It's probably not a bad thing. I've heard too much sugar can do really crazy things to a human body. Like rot your teeth out?

[INSANE.]

[majinken]

It's not like I don't eat dessert at all...

[obviously! since he's. you know, eating the ice cream right now.]

Yeah, you have to take good care of your teeth! And other things... I guess? I don't really know what else it does though.

[sharplydressed]

It makes you fat.

[Because of course Kashuu "freaks out over chipped nails" Kiyomitsu would be most concerned about the visual impacts of loving dessert a little too much...]

And I think it can even make you sick? I'm not sure how true that is. I mean like, actually sick-sick, not just sick to your stomach sick. I guess humans can be pretty delicate, though...

[majinken]

I think a lot of things might be able to make you sick, but... I don't know.

[stahn's not a doctor. he's not even anything resembling that, he wouldn't even recognize a lot of illnesses if he saw them beyond common colds and flus.]

Nobody in my village ever did, though. So I've never seen anything like that... It always sounded like something grownups would say to make us stop asking for them though...

[sharplydressed]

Huh... Why would they lie just to get you to stop eating sweets, though? Unless they really are bad for you... Or more expensive than vegetables, I guess.

[That seems pretty legit, he can still remember drooling over the displays of fresh baked goods and the cute pouches of candy that were sold back home...]

[majinken]

Mm... maybe both? I think Gramps just didn't want us to spoil supper all the time, especially in the summer.

[when there were kids playing all over town and someone's parents or a shopkeep would treat them to something sweet and refreshing.]

[sharplydressed]

Why? What happened in summer? Is it harder to eat food then or something?

[HE IS STILL very much learning how this whole human body thing works, okay... It's a work in progress and a lot of things continue to confuse the heck out of him.]

[majinken]

Eh? No, nothing like that! That's when we got a break from school—summer vacation, so instead of studying, we could just play all day! Well... after we finished our chores and stuff.

[they did still have a farm to run, after all. but his grandfather was pretty good about making sure he and lilith got to play like all the other kids and have fun, too.]

[sharplydressed]

Oooh. ...So you'd just eat too much during vacation. Is that what you're saying?

[Wording it that way is not exactly inaccurate, but also not elegant in the least...

Also give him a second as he, on a whim, decides to start mixing some of the rocky road ice cream into his chocolate ice cream. Nothing will change but dang he just suddenly wants to give it a go.]

[majinken]

I guess. Maybe so we didn't spoil our supper, I think?

[he thinks it's really more something like that than not eating too much at all, but what does stahn know? this isn't exactly something he ever thought too hard about in the past.

either way, he watches what kashuu's doing—but stahn's not going to imitate that, instead just contentedly eating his own ice cream for the time being.]

[sharplydressed]

[As predicted, it doesn't do anything but add more chocolate to the chocolate. It's not bad! But it's not what he was going for, either. ...Even if he's honestly not sure what he was going for.]

...I should've gotten two flavors that were a little more different.

[So he can be five years old and mix them together, apparently.]

[majinken]

Well... now you know for next time! Or... I could share some of mine, if you want!

[look at this good bean, always willing to share, even if for probably the dumbest and worst reasons.]

[sharplydressed]

Really? You wouldn't mind if I had a little more? You're the best!

[THE ACTUAL BEST. Everyone else clearly needs to take a page out of Stahn's book and learn to share for dumb and awful reasons.]

I can trade you something else, okay? That's fair.

[Is it really, though.]

[majinken]

Yeah, that's fair! But even if you didn't have anything to trade... I'd still share.

[he's grinning pretty brightly—stahn is, as ever, a generous and thoughtful beam of sunshine.] That's what friends do!

[sharplydressed]

[What the heck, HE'S TOO MUCH. Even Kashuu feels a little humbled by how dang good Stahn is sometimes.]

You're the kind of friend everyone wishes they had, y'know? Or the kind people wish they were, I guess.

[majinken]

[be the friend stahn would be, kashuu!]

Eh? Do you really think so? I thought it was pretty normal to be like this!

[sharplydressed]

That just goes to show what a good person you are. Maybe your friends are like you, too... Like, good attracts good or something?

[Is Stahn a magnet for sunshines?? On the other hand, look at all the sourpusses he somehow draws to himself...]
