First off...

[She can guess the answer, but just in case:]

Since everyone is still alive... Does this mean the worst is over?

[cyclists]

... as much as I would like to say yes, I do not know if I will be able to confirm that.

[though he at least sounds saddened over it]

Even so... I think this time is a relief.

[foodbin]

...Yeah, that’s about what I thought.

[Ugh.]

There’s something else, though. Um... You remember that book I brought you? Please forget everything about it immediately.

[cyclists]

[hm?

lune tilts his head]

Oh.

I am afraid I cannot.

[foodbin]

Why...?

[cyclists]

I try to take care of all that I am given, and if someone cares to share something with me, I am always happy to partake.

After all, that book was a gift from a friend.

[so innocently!]

[foodbin]

Even if the friend in question really wishes you could ignore everything about it?

[cyclists]

Hmm, I'm not sure why I would...

[lune tilts his head]

After all, I already finished it, and gave it to another. I continued my studies on from there.

[foodbin]

...With what, exactly?

[cyclists]

A number of works produced by humans.

[lune has read so many books]

And just this week I have been given other recommendations - and there is an entirely separate genre titled 'dating sims' it would seem.

It has been quite amusing.

[foodbin]

...If the other stuff you've read is anything like the first book I gave you, it's not exactly an accurate portrayal of - anything.

[cyclists]

Of human relationships?

[there is a smile at that, curious]

We have had this conversation before, hadn't we?

Though I suppose you would have reason to find new discoveries since then...

[ ;) ]

[foodbin]

I just want to make sure you're not reading too much into...

[She pauses, because Lune Why.]

Teasing me about that isn't going to work, I'm not embarrassed because we're both adults.

[cyclists]

[there is just a laugh]

Was I teasing?

I am merely pleased for both of you.

[GRANDPA IS HAPPY FOR THEM]

I am also pleased that I read the situation correctly.

[thanks for the confirmation!]

[foodbin]

Thanks.

[A small smile.]

We're not hiding it or anything, so... It's not hard to guess.

[cyclists]

You are correct - it is not.

Even for someone as inexperienced in the matters of the heart as I, your affection is apparent.

[is it better or worse that it's sincere]

[foodbin]

You're going to make even me get flustered.

[cyclists]

That does sound like it would be rather fun. I can't say I've seen that from you before.

[it's official, lune is just like this to everyone, not just emma's bf]

Do you blush easily too?

[foodbin]

No. I am about 95% sure you are not going to be able to get me to blush.

[cyclists]

Hmm...

[he looks thoughtful at that]

As much as I would like to try -

There are other, more entertaining ways for me to earn Lea's ire on my own.

[grandpa won't try, even though he's going to misbehave in other ways it's fine]

[foodbin]

[At that, she can't help but laugh.]

Oh yeah? Like what?

[cyclists]

[that just makes him smile]

That may be a secret between him and myself.

It is all in good fun.

[no only jiji is having fun]

[foodbin]

I guess I'll contain my curiosity somehow.

[...]

Also, um - if we wanted an item... Do you necessarily need to know what it is for us to do a task for it? Or can we just keep it in mind and have the universe pop it into our house whenever we're done?

[cyclists]

Oh? Is there something that you wish to obscure from me?

[lune has no idea what that could be

but now he's curious?]

[foodbin]

No, not me. I was just kind of wondering if someone else might have.
