[ There's a chuckle, and he goes back to scrutinizing the menu, before he picks three cupcakes - chocolate caramel, yes, rum and coke because why not, and one that is red velvet because red velvet is king. ]

You're going to laugh, [ He says as he approaches the table, because people can sit here and eat, yes? Yes. ] but I figured we could cut all three in half.

[kybercore]

Couldn't make up your mind?

[She doesn't object, just tilts her head a bit as he settles in.]

That's unexpected. I thought you always knew what you wanted.

[ouzel]

Did you?

[ He shakes his head a little, cutting the chocolate caramel one first. ]

It's been a while since I've had cupcakes.

[ Will they manage to avoid talking about what he wants? ]

[kybercore]

You make a pretty convincing speech.

[The moment he's done cutting she's reached for it, popping half of her bit in her mouth like it might be stolen from her.

She's only half way done chewing when she offers a muffled review.]

It's good.

[ouzel]

Glad to hear that.

[ Up goes an eyebrow but Cassian won't comment on her table manners, instead focusing on cutting the other two.

He's trying the rum one first, taking a bite out of his half from the bottom, leaving the frosting last. ]

It is good. [ Licking off a crumb in the corner of his mouth. ]

[kybercore]

[ She's swallowed by then, the only sign of the cupcake the cake bits clinging to her teeth as she smiled. ]

Don't sound surprised. You make the occasional good decision.

[ouzel]

Only the occasional one?

No wonder you and K-2 have teamed up against me.

[ He'll just nudge the rum and coke plate in her direction. ]

[kybercore]

[She accepts with the same hurried greed, eating like he'll change his mind and take it away again. ]

We both observe patterns. You might want to try examining your choices.

[ouzel]

My choices in friends? I think I'm doing just fine.

[ He's totally smirking, but anyway, he needs to try to chocolate one. ]

[kybercore]

[ She ducks her head slightly at , trying to hide the small smile. Friends. Well. That's new. ]

Even if they mock you?

[ouzel]

[ He's touched that it means something to her, enough to get a reaction at all. He doesn't hide his smile, but it's still small. ]

You have met K-2 haven't you?

[kybercore]

The droid that obeys you? And points out how I'll probably kill you?

[She picks up her next cupcake half, looking at the treat only.]

Once or twice, I suppose.

[ouzel]

The percentage drops every day.

[ Quirking his eyebrows at her. ]

I'm glad you're staying.
