I cooked those few times in Hasetsu? It didn't turn out very well though ...

[nextlevel]

So give it a try here. Surprise me.

[fourlevels]

I'm not sure it'll be a good surprise ... but okay.

[nextlevel]

It doesn't have to be, Viktor. Mess up a surprise for once in your life.

[fourlevels]

[ He blinks at the phone, genuinely surprised at such a suggestion. ]

[nextlevel]

... It's really okay. You know that, right?

[fourlevels]

[ His expression smooths back out after a beat, softening until it's nothing but fondness and something close to gratitude. ]

... Mmm. Okay.

[nextlevel]

Good. I'll help with dishes after.

[fourlevels]

No, no. That was part of my challenge, right?

[nextlevel]

... Are you sure, Viktor?

[fourlevels]

You think I can't?

[nextlevel]

I guess not.

[fourlevels]

... Wait, does that mean you don't think I can, or that I can't?

[nextlevel]

I think you can.

[fourlevels]

Ah, got it. English is confusing sometimes.

[nextlevel]

Yeah, I get tangled up too. Verbs are hard.

[fourlevels]

You'd think that someone here might have made a translator like in Space Trip. Then we could speak in our native tongue and still understand each other.

[nextlevel]

...

Wait. How do people understand each other here? We don't all speak English.

[fourlevels]

[ He blinks, one hand coming up to rub at his head. ]

That's a good question. Maybe there is something already?

[nextlevel]

We can look through our comm maybe.

[fourlevels]

Mmm, we can look after your practice.

[nextlevel]

All right. Good luck with the cooking.

[fourlevels]

I'll try my best, but don't expect too much.

[nextlevel]

I'll eat it no matter how bad it is.

[fourlevels]

I don't want you sick though ...
