[ There are two possible ways to look at this: he is trying to be sweet and took her to try something he enjoys due to its simplicity and affordability. Alternatively, he took her to the cheapest food he could think of because he cannot be bothered to pay a decent meal for her.

... Of course she opts to look at the situation as him trying to be sweet! ]

Oh, I'd love to try.

[ As soon as she has the food in hand, she gives it a bite. And after some munching- ]

It's really good! [Was it really? Maybe, maybe not. She would say the same regardless of whether it was the best or worst food in the world.] Thank you~!

[ She gave him her sweetest and cutest smile. She hoped.

Hopefully it didn't come off as creepy or anything. ]

(The answer is both. He's a simple spirit with simple likes. It being cheap is good and if he's sharing with someone else, this makes it easy to share.

The baby castella is good! Toasted and slightly crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, rich and sweet with the flavor of egg, sugar, and honey like a denser madeleine. The fact that they get a bag filled to the brim... it's easy to tell why Hizen likes it.

He doesn't smile back at her. He doesn't seem particularly excited either but Monika can probably read him as a low-energy person.)

Mhm.

(He nods once and eats one piece for himself. He's quiet but he seems.... satisfied. He'll hold out the paper bag for her so she can help herself to as many as she wants. )

... The boss is gonna make an announcement soon.

(An awkward way of saying he can't stick around for too much longer. He is, as he said, a ranked member of the Shuten clan.)

[ An announcement, huh? Perhaps that was right. But she could also tell he just wanted to get away. She'd really gotten carried by that wish thing. What'd she been thinking? Love didn't sprout like that. It was as if she'd not learned anything from her past experiences, from the post she had written days ago. ]

... I'm being a bo-

[ Bother, but she didn't finish her sentence. She already knew the answer, and she didn't want to make things more awkward. She forced a smile. ]

Nevermind that. [She nodded at him.] Good luck for that meeting.

[ Best to let him go. Some things are not meant to be. He'd been very patient already, and that was enough. ]

[harimaya]

(He waits for to finish. What was that? He thought she had something to say... Ah, well, she doesn't continue the thought so it must not have been important.

He will, however, hand her the rest of the castella bag.)

Here.

(And he nods but doesn't seem particularly pleased by the idea of going to the meeting in general. He really dislikes all of this responsibility and stuff sometimes. He'd rather enjoy the festival than go listen to a bunch of hot shots talk about boring things...

Anyway, good night, Monika. Enjoy the festival. )
