[ Make something for him........... yes! Yes, that's exactly what she's trying to do, it seems! Yet the more Clive is becoming aware of the situation the more awkward his fidgeting has become.
Thank the Founder Cid could not see his face.
He just had to keep playing it cool, and maybe help Jill out a little in the process! ]
Then if she were to make you some kind of dessert, what would it be?
[A few seconds before Clive may regret asking this question.]
Well I've always been fond of puddings. Something about that light, creamy texture and it's not too sweet. Cakes are fine, too, really any pastry. Cookies especially. Easy to hold and write at the same time.
And it can't be too sweet. I don't want to be feeling like I'm eating pure sugar. Not a fan of the chewy kind, either, like caramels. Nothing against them, I'll still eat them, just don't want a workout for my teeth. Annoying to pick out, too.
Speaking of sweetness, I do like a kick. Something a bit sharp or spice, like cinnamon.
Aye, and easier to come by where I was from. Can't remember the last time I had it.
[Not that it wasn't in Valisthea, but the key ingredient was only in certain areas so big so easy to have. And the whole outlaw living in a cave thing.]
And you just had to appreciate its finer flavor. Honestly miss them a bit.
[The apples here are of course normal, sweet, and delicious, but the taste of hard work and being able to taste the difference each time it changes is something he would always appreciate.

[He is answering very seriously.
Perhaps too seriously.]

Regrets? He's suddenly full of them. How did he suddenly get wrapped up in all of this? ]

Care to narrow it down a bit?

[Narrow it down... Narrow it down...
Oh!]
Actually if there's one dessert I haven't had in a while, it's a good rhubarb pie.

[ BUT THAT'S... a little beside the point! That's not exactly getting the answers he needed, so going to try to circle back around. ]
You mentioned cakes were just fine?
no subject
Aye, prefer the lighter ones myself. Had the chance to try quite the variety as of late.
[Thanks to a certain someone and their special outings—]

[ It wasn't a jab or meant to be rude- merely an honest inquiry!! Because that's absolutely what Jill had intended to do too, right? ]
Suppose that's better than the bitter apples you once ate.

The taste, and cost, of freedom indeed.]

Not your idea? I didn't know Benedikta to have a sweet tooth.

[Why don't you take out Jill out for some nice desserts, Clive?]
no subject
Oh? I have heard of her fondness for "bon-bons".
You two are more alike then I realized.
no subject
And what makes you say that?
[Careful, Clive, he is not above sharing messages—]
no subject
[ He stops to shake his head. Don't get him in trouble, Cid!! ]
Preferences. Stubbornness. Distance. There's a number of things I could compare.
no subject
[Innocent whistle.]
Interesting choice of traits.
[Oh this is definitely getting shared now.]

Are they wrong?
no subject
[Yeah the word would be.]
You could have at least written one nice thing.
[Also not denying.]

[ But... thinking about it- ]
Determined. Resourceful. Strong.
I think those fit nicely, too.
