[Glancing back over...]

Like, the kind you eat?

[tindery]

I think some can be poisonous...?

[voring]

Poison doesn't affect me, so that's fine! I'll eat 'em anyway. What flowers are we even talking about?

[tindery]

Convenient.

[ can't be poisoned... but, ]

Any flowers.

[ there are so many commonplace things that tobari just hasn't seen ]

[voring]

Like... Any flowers to eat? Or just any in general?

[Why does he keep looping back around to eating them. Maybe he simply cannot comprehend Tobari not seeing flowers at all ever period.]

[tindery]

Are you hungry....? I don't have any snacks.

[ it's like when you feel bad when a pigeon waddles up to you but you have no breadcrumbs to share.... i was going to write this analogy with a squirrel first and then was like no. fuck squirrels ]

Any in general. We don't have many where I'm from. They don't grow well. Not much does.

[voring]

Snacks are always good.

[HE'S THE PIGEON AND TOBARI DOESN'T HAVE ANY DAMN FOOD. This is fine.]

Huh! So your entire place is like a toxic zone?

[tindery]

I'll start carrying some when we get out of here.

[ and he really will... some snacks in his pocket for obikawas ]

In a way? We're above ground.

[voring]

Really? You're good!

[This is so fucking funny please don't humor him like this. HE LOVES SNACKS THOUGH...]

Huh? All humans are above ground.

[tindery]

[ THEN HE WILL JUST BRING SNACKS FOR OBIKAWA.... STUPID.... ]

We're higher than most humans—up in the sky.

[voring]

[HE'LL ACTUALLY REMEMBER TOBARI'S NAME AT THIS RATE...]

Woah! That's silly. What are you guys doing up in the sky? Humans don't belong up there.

[tindery]

[ he snorts because he doesn't disagree ]

A while ago, the storms were getting so bad on the ground that people were looking for refuge. Somebody was able to invent technology that lifted my country into the sky. We've been living like that for a while.

[voring]

[i am learning so much about this canon already

Obikawa just looks baffled.]

So you guys have the tech to lift humans into the sky but you couldn't figure out how to take flowers with you?

[tindery]

[ i was also startled by the opening monologue, otome games have such wild premises ]

Seems like it wasn't a priority and still isn't. We can trade with the surface, but we mostly get the necessities. [ like. fucking water. ]

Maybe you're right about humans' brains being small.

[ HE ALSO THINKS IT'S STUPID ]

[voring]

[THEY REALLY DO good for them honestly.]

I'm always right! [He is not.] But man, just when I think you guys can't get stupider, you really do some even more stupid stuff, huh?

[It is faintly amusing to him in the passing way that things are amusing to gods... BUT. Since Tobari has offered to provide him with snacks:] Wanna see one?

[tindery]

That's probably true.

[ tobari would always choose to be human, but he can't deny that there's also some pretty miserable wretches out there. ]

Sure.

[ they clearly have time to kill ]

[voring]

[Very sasuga human of a human to want to be human... damn.

But!! He will just tug a couple strands of his own hair out and shake them in the air, where they turn into a set of beautiful roses like a magic trick.]

Here!

[HANDS HIM THESE HAIR FLOWERS.]

[tindery]

[ okay he's amazed by this but he has to lead with ]

What the fuck.

[voring]

[HE'S SO VALID. Obikawa just huffs.]

I'm amazing, right? Even though this kind of thing is no big deal.

[tindery]

[ honestly, he's pretty awed by this. for a lot of reasons. but he'll turn the flowers over in his hand, stunned ]

... they're not going to turn back into hair when you feel like messing with me, are they?

[voring]

[His first flower and it comes from the hair of a god. CON...CONGRATS... His head just cants a little to the side.]

I can turn it back into hair or whatever else, but if you like the flowers, you can keep 'em!

[The way he has truly been caught at his best since he's so lonely after three weeks of just WANDERING AROUND BY HIMSELF.]

[tindery]

[ in theory itehari probably has like. some flowers. but they talk about how expensive they are and probably reserved for nobles. the red light district probably only sees a few bouquets just like this on rare occasions, so it's truly shocking to tobari that they can just

be created ]

... thanks.

[ even when the cage explodes, he will carefully hold these flowers to minimize their squish. when he goes to the library to figure out how to preserve flowers, he'll press them carefully to keep them. ]

[voring]

[THIS IS SO FUNNY... He really did just manifest expensive ass flowers out of nowhere. IF ONE IS A GOD, WHY NOT JUST USE THEIR ABILITIES FRIVOLOUSLY? He'd find it hilarious that Tobari tried to minimize their squish, though. That is so much effort for flowers.]

Snacks for thanks are better than words for thanks! But we can figure it out later. It looks like soup kid can't turn into soup to get out of here.

[tindery]

[ it is so much effort for flowers but he doesn't know if there'll be real flowers around here after all... he wants to keep them for when he sees his sister again

anyway that's sappy and he won't admit to it easily so, ]

What do you like for snacks? What the hell is up with this cage.

[ HE'LL THINK OF ALTERNATIVES THAT WON'T COME TRUE WHILE HE FIGURES OUT WHAT TO FEED THIS TAMAGOTCHI ]

[voring]

[PRESERVING FLOWERS FOR HIS SISTER... NOOOOO he's so cute. i aki think this even if obikawa will probably never know]

Whatever's good! I like rice paper rolls with sweet chili sauce and carrot sticks with maple syrup and ramen and butter and beer and burgers and naan and pizza and rice with eggs and all kinds of things- [THESE AREN'T SNACKS] -but I'll try anything that looks tasty!
