[Continued from here

There's always room for improvement with everything. There is no such thing as perfection, even if people strive for such.

[And there is the pessimistic realist poking out of Hubert now, ruining the possible chance of a romantic mood that may have occurred. Not like there was a chance of that happening.]

[WHAT IS ROMANCE, CAN PAO-LIN EAT THAT

oh yeah speaking of food, she just finished all the popcorn. Oops. GOSH THAT WAS LIKE TWO BAGS THEY ALREADY MADE, WHAT EVEN]

Oh, um. Do you want me to make more popcorn? [Why are you still hungry, Pao-chan.]

[And Hubert doesn't even notice that the popcorn is gone until she mentions making more popcorn. Well, he was hoping to have some more but he won't complain.]

That's not necessary, unless you wish to have some more.

[Smooth Hubert, make her seem like the glutton.]

[Well, it's not like she isn't a glutton, so.

Okay, I'll go and pop another bag, then. You want to try the toffee flavor this time?

[The first two bowls were just plain ol' vanilla...er, butter, I mean. Does Hubert feel like being adventurous with his snack today?]

Sure, I suppose there wouldn't be any harm in that.

[Toffee flavored popcorn sure sounded interesting, and to be quite honest he wasn't sure how it was going to taste, but he couldn't help but be curious about it either. Being nice he paused the movie for her. After all, he was rather certain she wouldn't want to miss a single frame.]

[Such a gentleman, Hubert. Pao-Lin scurries into the kitchen to go find the goods.

...except. She's not sure where they went. Le wtf? Weren't they just on the table?

Sorry, the snacks may be a little while in coming. Have some rummaging sounds from the kitchen in the meantime instead.]

[And he does hear those sounds as he can't help but get up from the couch to find out exactly what she was doing.]

Do you perhaps need some assistance?

[Perhaps a little rude and blunt the way he said it, especially as he pressed against the bridge of his glasses, but he would help if she said 'yes'.]

[From atop a stepstool in front of an open pantry, Pao-Lin simpers sheepishly down at Hubert.]

Um...where'd you put the food we bought today? [She's assuming he must've put some stuff away while she was out of the kitchen for whatever reason.]

I put them in their proper locations. [Food cannot be left sitting out in the kitchen. And even though it is her kitchen, he did his best to place the items where he thought they should go. So the popcorn is in one of the cabinets. Likely the one that holds all the snacks.]

[Bro, this is Pao-Lin's kitchen. Every cabinet holds all the snacks.

Pao-Lin just kind of blinks at him in confusion.]

Well, where'd you put the popcorn, then? [She'd left the butter popcorn out 'cause she knew she was going to be cooking it later, but...]

[He looks around the kitchen before he spots the cabinet below the microwave. It made sense to him to put it there, so that's where it went. And he points to that exact cabinet.]

Down there. It should be in the front.

[Oh, there it is! Now Pao-Lin feels silly.]

Ahaha, sorry! Guess I should've checked here before, huh? [She unceremoniously rips open the top of the box and plucks out one of the popcorn packets. She shoves it in the microwave, sets the timer, then plops herself on top of the kitchen table to sit and wait for it to cook.] Thanks again for coming over today. I really appreciate it.

It's not a problem at all. I had nothing to do tonight, and it seemed a waste to sit at home and do nothing.

[And Hubert's just going to be insensitive and not admit that he really wanted to come over, because feels, what are they? He knows he has them, just he's not used to them at all.]

[Don't worry, Hu-chan, Pao-Lin's not going to notice your lack of feels. Yet.]

You really didn't have anything to do, huh? You're usually so busy, though...

I have free time as well.

[Gosh, don't make him sound like a workaholic! ...even if he totally is.]

Well, it's good that we both had free time at the same time. I haven't gotten to talk to you in a while! [Heroing and recovering from said Heroing took up a lot of time, after all.] Is school going okay for you?

I suppose it has. My grades haven't slipped at the very least. [Still a straight A honor student to please his dad. Nothing new.]

Did you ever figure out if you were going to prom or not?

[[ ooc: From here ]]

[ He's... used to it. ]

... When I'm done being in a blanket cocoon, I'll make sure we have enough quarters

[ But he's not done being in a blanket cocoon. ]

if u dont have any there shuld be sum in my donut bank

[Yes, she has a piggy bank shaped like a stack of donuts and no one was surprised.]

I'm allowed to touch that?

[ He has a very strong respect for her belongings and not going through them... borrowing blankets and pillows for a cocoon aside. They probably have a clause somewhere about pillow forts. ]

u can now lol

I'll be very careful with it

[ No smashing the donut piggy bank open from this ninja. ]

u beter or ill be mad

lol

[It was like six whole dollars. That's some serious bank, yo. ~~Pun intended.~~]

I'll handle it like a bomb that could go off at any moment

Um, but not in the way that Mr. Tiger and Barnaby might

[ The lol at the end doesn't stop Ivan from fearing the wrath of the Tiny God! Clarification that he's not going to kick it to the top of a building is a good thing. ]

its not that kinda bank silly rofl theresa thingy at the bottom u can open

[While she generally approves of smashing things, it's not necessary (or desired) in this instance.]

Thank goodness

[ See? Hadn't gone near it... and still isn't yet because he's comfy in his pillow and blanket cocoon. ]

[[ OOC: continued from here ]]

So, once they're cleaned, they're not going to looks like someone was murdered in your bed?

[ It's less "What will Pao-Lin sleep under?" and more "Is she going to sleep in cheese and salsa stained sheets?" Someone has to be the responsible person in the apartment, and right now, it's him. ]

["Right now"? Ivan is usually the responsible person in this apartment, period.]

i dont think so lol and anyway if it does ill just cover it up w/ blankets or smth

[PAO-LIN FFS.........]

[ That's a good point... ]

I'll buy some sheets just in case and keep the receipt...

maybe buy black ones?? lol that way stains wont show up

[Maybe later she could get a yellow comforter for her bed...]

Black... okay. But not getting food all over the bed is probably better in the long run ( ^^)

its not like i was tryin 2 get food on my bed lmao silly

Just checking ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
