Nope.

[ The way Sinclair leans on him feels nice, and he lets him. It's a time of peace. ]

You got three more. Let's go over the things you asked.

You can touch it.
We can't see it where we are now.
It's man-made.
It's not used every day.
It's not metal.
It doesn't use electricity.
It isn't furniture.
It's not used to carry anything.
It can be found in the kitchen.
It can be used to close things off.
It's not a door.
You can't go through it.
It's flexible.
Made of plastic.
Not a plastic bag.
Not a plastic wrap either.

[insinning]

Mm...can you wear it?

[He's got two ideas left, depending...]

[dissimulative]

Nope.

[ Oria leans on Sinclair too, but not too much that they'd have to push against each to maintain the balance. ]

[insinning]

Is it a lid?

[He has no idea after this]

[dissimulative]

Nope! You got one more, Emil!

[ Now, Sinclair can ask a serious question or he can joke around. ]

[insinning]

[Well, he's clearly completely off track now so]

Is it...a plug?

[dissimulative]

Nope!

[ Oria grins wide. ]

It's tape.

[insinning]

[...]

You can find tape in a kitchen?

[dissimulative]

Yeah. People use it to close opened bags of snacks or close bags of bread. Some people even put tape in the drawer with other tools, because there's often nowhere else to put them.

[ He tried to be so inclusive no matter the class... ]

[insinning]

I use rubber bands for that, since I always end up with so many random ones. [That's what he thought most people did...mind blown] Or binder clips. But tape does make sense when you put it like that.

[dissimulative]

Aria sometimes puts leftover food in a paper bag and tapes off the opening and puts it in the freezer...

[ Can't relate. He never has leftovers. ]

There's a lot of different ways to seal bags. The more you know~

[insinning]

So that's how you know.

[He knows Oria would never leave any snacks left unfinished]

[dissimulative]

[ Oria laughs a little. ]

Yup! You probably have a lot of leftovers too, right?

[ looks at Sinclair's appetite ]

[insinning]

[ look. He feels called out now...]

Kinda...but that's why I try not to get too many things.

[ his fridge is pretty small honestly]

[dissimulative]

You always give your portions to me.

[ Maybe that's why Sinclair is not growing... ]

I wonder how you do all that you do without eating much.

[insinning]

[ rude. also true according to Faust's criticism of his eating habits]

I do eat more after a particularly long day but...

[ But hm, he's never thought of it that way before]

I've just never been able to eat a lot, even in high school.

[He never got his growth spurt...]

[dissimulative]

It's endearing, but also a little worrying.

[ But he figures Sinclair knows what to do. He kicks the feet in the water a bit to test his own legs. ]

Though that means less from a person who always eats a lot, huh?

[insinning]

[Sinclair shakes his head, reaching for Oria's hand and squeezing gently]

No, it means a lot.

[ Maybe if he tries to eat more, he'll get taller???]

[dissimulative]

[ Maybe he will... ]

You sure?

[ Oria laughs a little and squeezes his hand in return. ]

I think it would be nice to see a taller Emil one day.

[insinning]

You think if I eat more I'd get taller?

[Sounds fake but he feels hopeful all the same]

[dissimulative]

Yeah.

[ Hold out on your hopes, Sinclair. ]

At the very least, you'll have more energy to do things.

[insinning]

[ Just five more centimetres. That's all he's asking...]

Aah... you're probably right.

[dissimulative]

... Though you shouldn't force yourself. If anything, my house will ensure you get good food while you stay. Not in a uselessly rich sort of way, but good for your health while tasting great.

[ Oria can eat vegetables en masse if he really wants to, but the bitterness will have it to be a short-term thing. ]

[insinning]

[He laughs, trying to imagine himself eating as much as Oria...that's impossible]

There's no way I could compete with your appetite, but I did get told off by the doctors for my eating habits, so there's probably something to it. [Life on the road tbh...]

[dissimulative]

Should I hire a dietician for you while you're here?

[ It's Sinclair's choice, but it's here if he wants it... he should take advantage of things while he still can. ]
