Aha, no need to drag me into this, but thank you. [ her own face colors at the compliments and she chuckles to try to cover it up, as if that’s how that works. ] Why don’t we, ah, look up at the stars or something... or I could get out dessert if everybody’s finished eating. [ she more or less blurts all of that out in an attempt to get herself out from under the gun. ]

Re: day 288, evening - for raven, bread, and vergil.
[ she turns away from them all fully so she has a couple of seconds to recover and then she pulls out only TWO desserts, because guess what, suckers, we're sharing. ]
[ she passes one along to vergil and cosmo and then hands the other to raven. ] Well, what do you think? [ recovery failed. ]
Re: day 288, evening - for raven, bread, and vergil.
[Turns out this is great he can just watch everyone suffer? Truly he is the villain here. He takes the dessert with a thanks but lets Vergil and Raven answer as he sets it in Vergil's lap.]
Re: day 288, evening - for raven, bread, and vergil.
[He does look surprised and impressed because he sure knows cooking is hard. Especially to make it look nice? But he looks at Lahabrea putting it in his lap.]
You should have it?
[That's definitely enough to share. But still. It's too nice, it's probably delicious, but he's too weird to appreciate it as it should be?]
I'm glad. I... don't really remember what friends I had. I remember I was in school and there were other students I was friendly with, but the one friend I had wasn't a very good person in the end.
[It had been her first memory here, actually. She looks a little self conscious for a moment, before explaining.]
She ended up doing something that seriously injured my sister and I, but we both managed to make it out okay. [Quickly adding-] I've made a lot of really good friends here, though - including you.
Re: day 288, evening - for raven, bread, and vergil.
It is kind of a blessing and a curse to remember friends from home, because missing them... it sure is a thing. [ she huffs a sigh, slowing down as they reach a relatively long building that she thinks might work fantastically for a shooting range. ]
...o- oh? I'm sorry, Ren. [ frowns. ] It must have hurt to be betrayed by a supposed good friend of yours, but I'm glad you and your sister managed to get out safely and find out about her true colors before something even more terrible could have happened. [ but her frown is quickly replaced by a smile. ] Me too. And I consider you a good friend too.
Re: day 288, evening - for raven, bread, and vergil.
[ sorry, the d.va you have reached is currently unavailable. please hang up and try your call again later. ]
Ah, really? [ this could be her reaction to just about all of them, honestly. clears her thought and looks aside, laughing as nonchalantly as she can manage. ] Yeah, well, like, of course.
[ but then after a moment she looks back down at the dessert. ] I'm far better at cooking than baking... but getting banned from demolishing all of my toys has given me a lot of free time so. [ shrugs, taking a bit for herself. she's half kidding, probably. ]
Re: day 288, evening - for raven, bread, and vergil.
[ no one banned her so much as asked her to stop multiple times on multiple occasions... is that banning??? she's just trying to be good. ]
Yeeeeeup! I still have fun sometimes, but, like, not as much fun. [ stabs another forkful of dessert. ] Being careful is lame. [ shovels it straight into her mouth. ] I think one of the first things I managed to do here was total my bike on the train tracks. I'm pretty sure it got hit three times. [ laughs. ] So I bought a second one before I knew FiN could fix it. I think I've rolled my Lambo at least four or five times, but that's what happens when you try to take a turn going over 200mph. [ she laughs a bit harder. ] Oh! And you saw the train-truck, yeah, well that was a blast to make! It was kinda like a race, since we had to keep ahead of the train, but then, like, slow down enough for them to touch, but now completely steamroll us.
I also bought my trucks to run over stuff, because if I can't wreck my cars, then I should totally be able to wreck other stuff, yeah, but I haven't had a chance to do a Live for that yet... total bummer. [ huffs, messing up her bangs slightly. ]
Re: day 288, evening - for raven, bread, and vergil.
[ she smiles, fond. ] Feelings can be hard to talk about on a normal day, so I'm glad that you had an opportunity to do so. And, like, the first time you do it is really something special. [ she feels a little strain in her heart as she reminisces for a moment. ]
Not that I'd wish this place on anybody, but I really hope we get to see him again.
