[It's just a perfectly delicious apple! He plucks up another slice to take a bite from, and then glances at it...]
I'd like to know that, too! Bad luck, maybe? Karma for saying watermelons are the superior fruit? I'd take it back but then I'd just end up getting a bunch of flavorless melons and that would be even worse.
[They need watermelons more than apples right now anyway EVERYONE'S GOTTA STAY HYDRATED.]
He peers over as Taako works, curious, but doesn't step away from his spot just yet.]
They're fine enough. [this is where i, aki, am glad Wei Wuxian doesn't know what melons are slang for so i don't have to make the absolutely terrible food pun that otherwise would have happened.
I mean, if you're putting it on the chopping block, I'll hack off a nice marbled piece, sure.
[What does that mean, Taako.
Anyway, Taako's fairly shy about asking for banging, but the actual act of Doin' It? Not so much. If he's gotten over the offer bit, then. It's fine, right? Flipping open his own clamshell, humming while he checks his bingo card.]
[WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, TAAKO. He's taking it as a compliment either way, god.
In any case, his tiny scraps of modesty blew away week one and he's just out here living his best life, now. He even claps his hands together in excitement at the mention of exhibitionism?? Terrible.]
Ooh! I'm missing that one, too! It even lines up pretty well with the rest of the ones I've got so far - wonderful!
[Clapping? Because he's also excited? Jesus Christ. Just the mention of a bingo prize is enough to get him more worked up then he's been this whole friggin' time here.]
Oh, kismet! Should I-- Hm. Okay, do we, uh-- [Spinning around in a little circle, while he tries to think of what to do? Is this foreplay.]
too late for everyone but them

Mm, sounds about right. Forgot you said you were into melons, though.
[hate this! Taako's coming over to start prepping the counter though, pulling out his bowls and utensils. Mise en place.]

INSTEAD HE'S JUST STRAIGHT-FORWARD:]
—Did you get one of those bingo things, too?
no subject
Sure did. [Hm.] Got some boxes you need checked off?
no subject
For now, though, he just grins.]
Is that an offer? Because I certainly wouldn't mind it! I'm not a flatterer, after all.
[He's just a terrible gremlin who thinks Taako has a lovely face!! Abandoning his plate of apples, he slides over, clamshell in hand.]
What are you missing? Anything I can help with? You'd automatically be the center square for me, which leaves the rest pretty open, haha.

Exhibitionism . . . ?

--I should move my apples.
[He will
go do that. He's just putting the whole cutting board in the pantry for now. Why that and not the fridge?? Good question, he sure couldn't answer.]
