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. ]

[insinning]

[Aah]

No, it's fine. I'm sure it's just a matter of...figuring it out. [He doesn't want to eat more bitter things :T]

[dissimulative]

[ He wants to say that Sinclair can figure it out sooner... and for free. But he made the decision, so Oria won't try to shove him back into it. ]

If you say so!

[ Oria smiles and leans back so that he looks back at his house upside down. ]

So, what do you like about my house? Infinite guestrooms? Basement bowling alley? My room being isolated? Knowing that you'll be safe even if you don't see the guards?

[insinning]

[Oria, please...Sinclair sinks a little more into the pool]

Huh? Oh, um. Honestly your entire house is still incredible to me but...I just like being here with you?

[dissimulative]

Because "the home is where the heart is", or something?

[ He sits straight up and gives Sinclair a small kiss on the cheek. ]

[insinning]

[Sinclair flushes a little but nods with a smile]

Mm. Because of that.

[dissimulative]

[ This is incredibly sappy, but Oria finds himself a little moved by it. ]

I love you so much...

[ He squeezes his hand. ]
