[ That surprises her for a moment and she tilts her head a little. ]
Oh... basically it means "delicious".
[ Man the universal translator is weird with what it does and doesn't pick up sometimes... maybe she should work harder in English class in case it ever stops working.
She watches as he tries it, eating another spoonful herself. ]
I'm glad you like it... I know some foreigners find the green tea flavour to be "grassy" sometimes and don't like it, so I was a little worried.
[ Only a little though because those people are weird. Matcha is delicious. That's not an ic opinion just the ooc truth. v ^ v ]
[Let's be honest with ourselves here, Varian is going to be attempting to learn Japanese too. Hopefully if that ever does happen, they'll have enough of a mixture of both languages that they'd be able to piece together some sort of understanding of one another.
Varian nods as he takes another bite.]
Yeah, I can see where people might think that. I think it's kinda more...refreshing? But maybe I've just been eating too many sweets back home...
I know what you mean. Traditional Japanese sweets… tend to be more subtle than super sweet. Especially in comparison to a cupcake or crepe. The difference can be really nice…
[ Don’t mind her though she’s in the process of trying to decapitate pancake Hello Kitty with her spoon. ]
Me? Mm...now this is just between you and me, but I would say I have kindof...maybe a little bit of a sweet tooth.
[Said as he pops his spoon back into his mouth, talking around it attractively.]
Now, It'sh moschtly becaush like- [He swallows, pulling the spoon back out.] -I live on a farm, you know? So we eat like...preeetty healthy most of the time, I'd say. Dad's a good enough cook, but I'm the one who can really bake stuff.
[ At least she can't remember him mentioning that before, but considering all they've been through it wouldn't be a surprise if she forgot some stuff. ]
[He in fact never did! So it's less that Rina didn't remember and more that it just never actually came up.]
Yeah, I bake! Cooking in general is just like alchemy anyway, just with different steps. Baking requires the most precision and attention to detail when it comes to following those steps, which is why I like it.
And, you know, being able to just whip up a mean batch of cookies or muffins is pretty impressive.

He's not sure why he's thinking about this but he's going to stop that line of thought, now.]
Does that mean you prefer things that aren't super sweet? Or...
[Just asking.
For future reference.]

She fights on it a moment as she scoops up the head and eats it, tilting her own head up before eventually shaking it. ]
Mmm… No, not really. I like super sweet stuff just as much… maybe even more. But the variety… is fun.
[ ……… ]
What about you?
[ Also may be asking for
Future reference. ]
