[He arches an eyebrow. Ragna, huh? He's heard the name before but isn't sure he can put a face to it. More importantly, though:]
You must be close.
[To not only allow him access to her suite, but to let him live there full-time. And to allow him into her bed, while she was living in her old suite. ... for napping! Not for other stuff!
Though, depending on what kind of "close" relationship they have, it might also be for other stuff. Which is why there's a bit of a teasing lilt to his words. At least there's no obnoxious winking or eyebrow-waggling, though. But speaking of eyebrow-waggling...
"Horny" was not a word he ever expected to hear out of her mouth. He's not a fan of the word, but hearing it from a pure princess-type rather than a rude-and-crude guy makes it more funny than offensive.]
... clever!
[He smiles again.]
Have you told them you'd find it extra-stimulating if they let us all go home? Perhaps they'd consider that request.
[(He knows they won't. And she's surely already thought of it.)
As for the comment about cookies, he blinks before smiling brightly again.]
That sounded awfully specific. Now I'm starting to think you do eat cookies for dinner. But you're absolutely right—eating them for dinner would be silly, so it's best to have them as an afternoon snack! ♪
[At an elegant tea party. That would suit her image for sure!
In response to the question about what pairs well with the sweets, he says:]
Usually green tea. I'd go with a light roast for mochi or daifuku, but a strong aroma goes better with the really sweet stuff. Certain kinds of black tea can also pair well, though.
[Then he blinks as something occurs to him.]
Is there a bell you can ring that'll make them come over? Or do you have the staff on speed dial? You don't have live-in servants or anything like that, do you?
[He's not sure how all this works. His family home had servants, but here, he's a lonely rank 8!
They can boss around the staff in a minute, though. First: party poppers!
Her reaction makes earns a grin and he cheerfully replies,]
Sort of! Here, I'll show you!♪
[He takes two more party poppers out of the bag, passing one over to her and then holding the other in his hands.]
All you need to do is twist and release! You grab it with both hands, twist the base right here—
[He demonstrates with a quick, forceful twist.]
—and then release! ♪
[Sure enough, with a loud popping sound, the other end of the party popper releases a burst of confetti. It's shiny gold confetti, to be exact, since this is the Golden Peacock after all.]
See? Easy! ♪ Just make sure to aim it away from your face. And my face. I would look cute wearing glitter, but I don't want to get any flecks in my eye!
