[ Apparently Chizuru - at first - just sounds surprised in the face of what he's saying. It's such a genuine reaction too, judging by the look on the girl's face..
It lingers for a moment or two as she processes what she's hearing here, but even as some fluster sneaks into her reaction too, she still ends up looking surprised. ]
A-Ah, that's--! You don't have to congratulate me, i-it's nothing special! I'm sure you could have made it to the final round too, if things had gone just a little bit different..!
[ Perhaps a slightly too kind assessment of his own attempt there, but this is how Chizuru works. ]
[It's definitely too kind and Ryan knows it - but he doesn't seem like he's beating himself up about it either.]
Oh, no way - I was doomed from the start. I've never actually been much of a baker? I just thought it'd be fun to hang out with all the other Palebloods.
[So he got what he wanted out of it anyway, even if he kind of embarrassed himself in the process. Oh well!]
[ She's quiet for a second. A part of her still wants to say something nice here, but that kind of feels like denying what he's saying here, and that'd be rude too..
.. maybe it's okay as long as he had fun? It does sound like he did.. ]
Thank you.. I mostly was there too though because I thought it'd be fun to bake together with everyone. I never got to do anything like that before.. [ Especially since she was so isolated for most of her life, making her not having done much of anything together with others. ] And I got to meet a whole lot of nice people for the first time! Like you..!
[Ryan takes her lack of experience in these things at face value.]
Yeah, I'd never done any kind of a baking competition before either. ...Unless you count that time I had to feed a giant Pig Baby, but that's not really the same exactly.
[That was more "cook for your lives so you don't get turned into piglets".]
Anyway, it sounds like we both got what we wanted out of it, so it all worked out! New friends and a good time!
You know there's going to be inevitable questions in the face of that, right. ]
You.. had to feed a giant.. pig baby?
[ Chizuru may or may not be trying to imagine a giant pig baby in this moment. It's not going too well. ]
Do you live on a farm back home..? [ D-Do they have giant pig babies on otherworldly farms?? Look, new friends and all are nice, she will agree on that! It's just that she's currently very confused! ]
