Naturally. It emanates from your being like rays of sunshine from the sun.

[no]

[cluedin]

Thank you, sir. It is rare that my radiance is truly appreciated.

[ none of this seems accurate. ]

[survivaltricks]

Only because those people are blind to it.

[is he learning how to speak Plum yet]

[cluedin]

[ like. 1%. accomplishment ]

Yes. It is my burden to bear, sir.

[survivaltricks]

[1%. ACCOMPLISHMENT]

So I see.

[ANYWAY]

If you don't drink coffee, do you drink tea? What's your favorite food?

. . . is purple your favorite color?

[cluedin]

[ these are so many personal questions in a row, she just stares for a second ]

Is your favorite color black, sir?

[ ???? weirdo ]

[survivaltricks]

Red, actually. But that's not a bad guess.

[POINTED STARE BACK]

I'll try again, but one at a time. Do you like tea?

[cluedin]

[ fine she'll ANSWER if he INSISTS ]

I prefer tea over coffee, yes.

[ illegal ]

[survivaltricks]

[he DOES insist because now he's rummaging through the kitchen for tea leaves]

What about your favorite food?

[cluedin]

I enjoy raspberries, as well as other various berries, sir.

[ ... at least she didn't say carrots. anyway while he is doing that she is just standing there. watching.

she's still holding the cup of coffee she didn't drink ]

[survivaltricks]

[ONLY BUGS BUNNY EATS CARROTS]

Oh, really? I like strawberries. They pair well with chocolate.

[which pairs well with coffee, so. win-win!]

[also it's fine when he locates some tea leaves and a kettle he is gonna set to work at steeping some team, and he will. . . come relieve her of the coffee cup that she isn't drinking]

[. . . though. . .]

Do Pumpkin-san or Peach-san like coffee?

[cluedin]

[ well. that means she can just stand there holding nothing, but at least now she's not holding a cup for no reason. win/win ? ]

Peach enjoys coffee. She was quite distraught when she saw the machine was missing. Pumpkin prefers hot chocolate above all else.

[ everyone is different ... ]

[survivaltricks]

[. . . HE CONTINUES TO BE A MONSTER!!!! POOR PEACH]

T-- that's why I brought it back.

[he's just gonna ask for his own personal machine so poor Peach doesn't have to go coffee-less]

[with the tea brewing, Akira is not rummaging around the kitchen looking for hot chocolate]

Can you bring a mug of coffee to Peach-san, and a mug of hot chocolate to Pumpkin-san for me?

[cluedin]

[ ah ]

... As you wish, sir. Though guests do not usually serve us drinks.

[survivaltricks]

If you ask me, more guests need to flip the script on you.

[hot chocolate mix: LOCATED]

If it helps you feel better, I do have one more request.

[cluedin]

... That would be something, wouldn't it.

[ it's a little dry. a good something or a bad something??? mysterious ]

Yes, sir?

[survivaltricks]

Would it?

[a hum]

Is there any way for me to get a personal coffee maker for my room?

[so he doesn't have to STEAL PEACH'S AGAIN]

[cluedin]

[ she shrugs mysteriously, but. she seems to think about his request ]

I believe we do have a spare in the house. I shall bring it to your room as soon as possible. [ a beat ] Please clean up any spills as they happen.

[ he can have little a coffee maker, as a treat, ]

[survivaltricks]

[a treat!!]

I will. Thanks.

[he thinks other people in the mansion will make Plum's job hard enough lol]

[anyway, once the hot chocolate and tea are ready, he is gonna find himself some thermoses and pour a different drink into each one: coffee for Peach, tea for Plum, and hot chocolate for Pumpkin]

All right-- here. The tea is for you, and you know who the other two belong to.

[cluedin]

[ well then. she takes out a tray because she's going to need it, but since he put them in a thermos... she's not sure she's been dismissed yet??? ]

It is much appreciated, sir. [ she only sounds mildly dubious, this is an improvement???? ] Would you like me to relay a message to my sisters with the drinks as well?

[survivaltricks]

Hn. . . just tell them it's a thank you gift from me for working so hard.

[does pumpkin deserve one of those]

The rest I'll tell them myself.

[cluedin]

For... working hard.

[ she has both eyebrows raised like "you want to stick with that for pumpkin" ]

Of course, sir. I will pass your gift along.

[ and then, incredibly.

she takes a sip of her tea!!! ]

[survivaltricks]

[gasp!!! he did it!!]

Thanks, Plum-san.

[a small smile]

That's all I need right now. You should get back to your nap.

[cluedin]

[ she curtsies!! and then picks up her tray full of drinks ]

It has been my pleasure to serve you, sir. Please ring my bell should you be in need of any further assistance.

[

i mean at least she doesn't sound like she's lying? but there she go... ]

[survivaltricks]

[HE HOPES SHE IS LEAVING TO GO SLEEP]

[YOU OVERWORKED BUNNY YOU]
