What: I need to practice playing this fine lady! Either use the situation below or make something up for yourself! I will be happy to go with the flow.
Who: Me and you, you and me, both of us together~

[Labouring for hours in the pool has worked up a ferocious appetite in the stomach of Asahina, it's a fierce war zone that can only be resolved by stacking her plate to the gills with donuts. The pile is at least five times taller than the average plate serving should be. It wobbles as she leaves the room. Today, she will feast.]

[ kanaya's a little caught up in her blood-drizzled donut to notice asahina's distress until her mouth is full. this leads to a few seconds of awkward staring as she chews it down to a point where she can politely respond. ]

Is there a problem?

[Asahina's mind is still catching up on things that are vanishing but it's short circuited enough that she just points at the doughnut in Kanaya's hand and says:] No!

[ kanaya just stares at asahina's finger, the meets her eyes for a second before glncing back down at her donut. this has all gotten very awkward. ]

Well...you, uh, were right. This one is very good.

[But what was that?]

Yes.

[Maybe this lot of caramel sprinkle doughnuts gave her special powers???

Maybe it's enchanted????

Maybe it's a new technology that is going to destroy everything!

Fast as lightning - she reaches out and takes the doughnut, eyes going wide.]

Is that blood?

[ hey! she was enjoying that. ]

Um...yes.

Oh.

[Blood!!!]

But... Why?

[ she reaches out to try to pry the donut back. the smell of blood is in the air now and feel that pressure in her throat, she just wants to finish it. ]

Because it's the only thing that holds flavor for me anymore.

[Excuse Asahina's slack jawed horrified expression - she's just thinking about all the delicious flavours in food. She's bitten her tongue before, she knows what blood tastes like.

She reaches out a hand to grip Kanaya's forearm.]

I am so sorry.

[ kanaya just gives her a funny look. is this a tragedy? is it something she should be expressing sorrow over? she can't really tell anymore. it's too bad it hadn't happened a sweep ago, in different circumstances. she could've been unambiguously ecstatic over it. ]

It...happens. [ or, well..happened. ]

[She nods. Slowly. That... makes sense? Maybe? She picks her jaw up and morphs her mouth into a firm line.]

I will enjoy doughnuts in your stead.

[ didn't they have some kind of arrangement before? maybe this one was better, just letting her eat kanaya's share. it wasn't like they really mattered all that much to her personally, she doesn't enjoy them much.

did she just fall for a logic trap? we just don't know. ]

I'm alright finishing this one still, if it's all the same to you. But feel free to do so, whether for my sake or not.

Of course! I'll do my best.

[She nods happily. Now that's sorted, she's happy. She's got her plate of doughnuts, caramel with sprinkles and all, and she has a new duty to consume doughnuts for those less fortunate than her. What more could she ask for?]

[ it's true, she's been tricked, but if she's going to be the only one who cares, then maybe it isn't worth caring about. ]

I hope you enjoy your breakfast.
