infreefall | redacted ★ beach party!

At least he's excited?

[ giggling because she loves xie lian... ]

En, and he'll absolutely come back with something we can use.

[ give him like ten minutes - and sure enough, xie lian comes back holding a big piece of driftwood? it's like, huge. ]

Here, I couldn't find any smaller pieces! Just give me a second.

[ he could probably do this with his sword, but his sword had to cut a lot of 70 foot hair already so. give him a minute to examine the driftwood to find the weakest point...

and then he yeets it up in the air and just. punches it. it shatters apart.

sticks! ]

[

oh ]

[ he dusts off his hands then picks up a stick! ]

Will these work? They're not vey straight or even, but... I can try again, if you need me to.

N-No, these will work fine. We just need them for the fire, anyway.

[ well

she takes a marshmallow, plops it on a stick, and hands it to xie lian. go roast it. ]

[ He's watching with interest, but does reach to pick up the bag of marshmallows to check out the food itself with idle curiosity while Rufus is contending with a ghost. ]

[ he does in fact know how to roast. he's taking his marshmallow over to obediently sit by the fire. ]

[ she's going to sit next to him with another marshmallow on a stick to roast one too! ]

So you just kind of want to toast it, right? So it's brown on the outside but still gooey inside.

[ xie lian smiles at her!!

he then sticks his marshmallow in the fire! ] Such a curious food, these...

[ ........

and then lights up like he suddenly understands something, eyes going wide and sparkly. ] -- Marshmallow...!

[ Hua Cheng freezes where he's about to pop a marshmallow in his mouth, blinking up at Xie Lian. ]

Eh, gege?

[ he looks

delighted, looking from the marshmallow he's currently roasting to hua cheng, and then back to the marshmallow. ]

Oh, nothing....!

[ sparkles. ]

... you're awfully excited for nothing, gege.

[ he looks so damn fond ]

[ fufufufu 🎶 wow he looks pleased with himself. ]

Am I? I do just like new food, San Lang...I'm a big fan of these marshmallows!

[ stop you're so cute ]

En, I'm glad that you get to try so many different kinds of foods here. Should I look up how to make marshmallows, so we can bring them back to Ghost City..?

[ she looks away really fast when he mentions the ghost city ]

[ oCHAKO NO ]

The texture is a bit like tangyuan, right? It should be easy.

[ ... ] Well... it should be easy for most people... [ not. him. ]

[ does not acknowledge Ochako's memories of Ghost City ]

A little, en. There's plenty of recipe books in the store, so I'll find one that has desserts, see what I can glean.

[ But he does laugh a little, getting up so he can come over and - attach to Xie Lian's left side, avoiding his back. ]

I'll learn, and we can practice together, gege.

[ cute... ]

Realize something?

They're soft, and squishy.

[ he says, like this explains literally anything, ]

[ giggling - ]

Yeah, they are. That's why they go so well in s'mores!

Sometimes people can be like that too, can't they?

[ he leans in a little to say so! very secret. ] Their outside can be a little crunchy, but on the inside...

[ she leans in too but she's very obviously nodding. ]

Mm, mm! That's okay though - that's how we like them best.

Mm. They're still just as soft and sweet!

[ hehehehe ]

I understand it now. [ now to whisper. ] - I talked to a Leader who said that someone was as "squishy and soft as a marshmallow", and I just agreed because I didn't know what that was.

[ she gives a little gasp! ]

I want to know! Who was it?

[ who is the marshmallow! ]
