[She can’t say she was expecting a yes, even about eating together. Still, she left the food on his counter with a dessert this time. She hadn’t tried baking since she made those pastries for Nina. Hopefully he liked red velvet cupcakes.]

Give up already. Why bother with this, Alex? You know how this is gonna end.

[She flinches, but ignores the sinister voice in her head, and leaves another note.]

I still hope you will.

[He can refuse the invitation, but he can’t return it at least.]

[ The next day while he's sleeping, Alex will find the note she left in the same spot. There's no response this time but in place of the red velvet cake there's a small box with two pastries.]

[She had thought the food exchange was done, but the moment she opens the box and sees the contents she starts to laugh. It was the image of Mikoto in a bakery picking out something so delicate and adorable that had her sturggling to stifle her laughter.. It was considerate of him to buy two though. He probably knew by now that she liked to share whatever she got with her shinki.

Ahh, it was so cute it seemed almost a waste to eat it, but it also looked delicious, so Alex helped herself to a plate and fork to start on her share right then and there. It was kind of fun, doing things the other way around.]

[She took this time to really look around the bar, since her last visit wasn’t really the time foe that, and the food delieveries were just for her to drop things off. Remembering that temples had familiar places integrated into them, she wondered what this bar was like for Mikoto back where he was from. Were the people from before all here? Were there more? For someone so closed off, his place was a perfect spot for gatherings.

Alex takes a thoughtful bite from her fork, glancing back at the dessert. Mikoto wasn’t one to bother looking around to find a specific gift for somebkdy, and this definitely wasn’t his style. That seemed more like...something Izumo would do. He was a creature of convenience. So she couldn’t help but wonder if this was something he had gotten for someone before.]

I really liked how light it was. I almost ate both. What’s it called?

And were the cupcakes alright? Not too sweet?

[ The pastry was one Anna liked. Of course, Izumo was the one who first made it for her, but she liked to go with Mikoto, hand-in-hand, down to the store to buy one from the local pastry shops. Mikoto turned heads when he entered such an establishment with a little girl hanging on to him, but he became a common fixture there with Anna having discovered a sweet tooth. ]

Fruit pastry.

[ He answers for the first question and for the second: ]

Too sweet.

[Fruit Pastry. She’ll remember that. Maybe she can try to make it next time.]

I’ll work on it.

[Actually, did he like sweets? He never said much about preference.

The finches have been staying on your bench.

It's not my bench.

Practically is with often you used it. I think they’re looking for you.

There's not enough meat.

They like to hang around you, not to be eaten by you .

[She actually did have a picture of them all over him while he was sleeping. One of them was using his hair as a nest. Alex couldn’t resist.]

They're loud.

[ He remembers. He almost got an egg laid on him and wasn't sure if he could eat it or not. ]

Probably because you’re always sleeping and they wanted you awake.

[It’s kind of why she stopped trying to keep them from bothering him. That and it was amusing. Although they did poop on him a few times.]

[ instead of a reply he leaves a recipe for finch meat stew. ]

>:(

[Yes that is an angry face on the recipe. And she left him a vegetable dish this time.]

[ It's a finch meat dumplings recipe this time. ]

How is there more than one?!

Can’t you give me a non-finch recipe

[ Clipped to the first recipe is another - Roast Finch. ]

[She tosses the recipes in the trash. Alex leaves 3 other options. And also a small bag of bird seed.]

[ She'll find the bird seeds at the entrance of her temple the next day. No note accompanies it. ]

[Which she’ll see the birds pecking at. Really..why does he bother going all the way here if he won’t stay a little?

And why is it that the only food he’ll actually request for are alm finch dishes?

It would be easy enough to just stop this. But a little part of her had to admit she was having fun.

She goes back to leave some roast chicken, but once again the bag of seeds were there too. Along with a little someone pecking at the open bag.]

So you’ve got some company.

[It was the one that was always burying itself in his hair.]

[ He takes a look at the little company and pulls back. ]

........

[ Congratulations, you've caught him off guard. ]

[ The next day, there's the same bag of seeds with the little finch still pecking at it but this time its inside her temple, along with a 20lb bag of bird seeds. Set across the bench he frequented a dozen new bird feeders lay in a line. ]

[The returned finch catches her attention first, but she does take notice of where he places it.]

So he finally came inside.

But geez, you had one job, didn’t you?

[While it was certainly fond of Mikoto, it was fonder of bird seeds.

[Her next instinct of course was to check the bench. Maybe he was actually back this time—]

Edited 2017-12-29 04:13 (UTC)

[Instead she found the large bag of bird seed and the line of feeders which the finches were already curiously pecking at.]

....Where am I supposed to put those?!
