Sounds good. [pat on the back]

[b-blinks a little]

You're not mad?

What would I be mad about?

W-well, I assumed that if you know about Slick canceling the deal, you know what I said about your team ...

Said? I know he threw a fit. He had a really hard time the last game, breaking up with Allen and all. You said something?

So they did really break up... I said your team was evil, for starters.

Aah. Ouch.

[small nod]

I meant it, and I still kind of ...

[looks more nervous]

It's not like I expected you guys to like us. But you're the ones who ordered us. Some of us broke down just the same as some of you broke down. But we signed up for this, and so did you.

Frankly, I think we're even, so we'll just have to disagree.

[winces]

We ... we did. But Lacerta never did until I made a mistake, and no one asked Lightning to do what he did.

Hey, relax. I'm not going to hold being upset against you.

I assume your team suffered for holding back, right? So a Blank suffers for not playing a Game to win. And Ophiuchus who aren't prepared suffer too. If you're concerned with what is "evil" or "unforgivable," the grudge doesn't stop at us.

Playing to win made my team suffer. I don't think it's that simple.

But ... I don't think it's as simple as "evil," either. I'm just scared now.

Well, being scared is okay. But nobody is going to hurt you.

Maa, this is pretty heavy talk for right before cooking. Try to put it out of your mind, okay?

... s-sorry. I was really just -- I'm trying to apologize.

Yeah? Well... put it into the food you make for us. How's that?

Put it into the food? ... how?

Well, you know! [pokes the center of his chest lightly]

When you cook for someone, and you really want them to like it, it shows. Like that.

[b-blinks a little]

Really?

Sure. I remember feeling like that, anyway.

... that's right. You're the one who remembers how to cook.

Yep. It was a nice memory.

What did you make?

A lot of things. It was a big dinner, and there were a few really picky eaters. Mostly Italian and Japanese.

Italian? Like spaghetti?
