it's not exactly a secret on why you're here. anyone with half a brain could figure out why you moved in so suddenly despite being on the extreme other side. it's quite the telenova to behold- especially when you're blessed with the gift of knowledge as much as i. [gesturing to the cupboard.] ++

[ twitching their antennae , annoyed ! clockwork is such a nuisance , they thought . ] and of course , clockwork just /had/ to tell everyone ! . . . do you have anymore crackers ?
we all know. clockwork is a bit of a gossip about the both of you when he gets the opportunity to be. [tea sip!] i certainly don't mind your relationship. in fact, i am happy to see you two getting on well. gives scripter something to do that is not destructive, and you too by proxy.

not at all. simply find it intriguing how similarly you've been crafted to scripter. you two really are two peas in a pod, hm? [biscuit in the peanut butter... of which the flames inside his head quickly evaporate.]

you're certainly peculiar. you have a desire to eat and for why? is it to regulate stress? boredom? [sitting at a nearby half-table, sipping on tea. just letting 75 exist on their own, opting to take the biscuits and peanut butter for himself!] no need to answer. merely curious.

that's a fine enough start. [moving to the cupboards nearby. digging out a few crackers, or shortbread biscuits. offering them!] one is salty, the other is sweet. which do you prefer? i also have some peanut butter or cheese...

looks like we're in a similar boat. can't say i've trusted having you or your friend in the headquarters for the past few months, but i'm prone to change, as we all are. i'm extending my olive branch.

nothing. i have to get used to seeing you as well, you know. having a previous enemy within headquarters is uncomfortable for all parties, but if you're living under a /true/ admin's roof, some hospitality would be greatly appreciated. would you care for a bite to eat?

it's really quite intended just for you, but if others want any, i would not be opposed. i just want to treat you well, dear. hmhm.

of course. what are you in the mood for? [curling a lithe hand under that scruffy chin of doom's.] pancakes? biscuits and gravy? an omelet?
𝕄ℝ𝔻𝕆𝕆𝕄𝔹ℝ𝕀ℕ𝔾𝔼ℝ.@doomed-guardian.bsky.social · 4mo agothat would be delicious, if you wouldn't mind. i hadn't thought of it until you brought it up.
you can simply ask me to make you something. worst i can do is say no.
