[ Joonghyuk is a really good cook, but it can only be as good as the ingredients available to him. It most likely won't taste the same as whatever Kaeya is thinking of, considering he used soy sauce and gochujang... So. It's also spicy and a little sweet. ]
Of course I have. If I'm never going to eat anyone else's cooking, then I should eat well.
[ it's probably the fact that it isn't canned intermingling with his last interaction with this particular room and a quiet homesickness that makes his spine prickle. he lifts the glass and this time takes a long drink. ]
Is that some promise you made yourself? That you'd only ever eat something made by your own hands? Seems like you might miss out.
Sounds like you've lived in an incredibly dog-eat-dog world. More so than most. It's impressive... Mmm, I wouldn't blame you for only trusting what comes from your own hand.
[ a smile ]
I've never heard of a place where you must buy your own abilities. Our own come from the Archons, the world around us, by use of vision. What sort of abilities have you been able to purchase in your time back home, Yoo Joonghyuk?
Yes. We procure them in a number of ways. Diluc received his quite young when he was aiming to take on his father's mantle, a very brilliant pyro vision. Whereas I was always a late bloomer.
[ is he sneaking a piece of fishie to polaris? yes he is. here you go, you can have some too. look, he's a daemon, we're just going to say that it's fine and he won't barf it up later like an actual dog... ]
Walking on air... I quite like that. Nothing like the wind in your hair.

Abilities that are offered by the gods, from things like elemental resistances to walking on air. They can be further enhanced with more purchases.
A vision is an item, isn't it?

Would you trade your vision for one affiliated with the wind?
[ Kaeya L’Oréal commercial. ]
I do not picture ice when I look at you.

If I could?
[ another drink. ]
No, I don't think I would. It's served me well from the very first time I used it.
[ he looks up. ] What do you picture, Yoo Joonghyuk? I'd like to know what you see.

[ You are a punk and you are shady, but you also seem nice. ]

Consider the term... freezing someone out.
[ and he'll rise up. ]
Thank you for dinner, Yoo Joonghyuk. I... should go.
2/2
If you leave the dishes in the kitchen, I'll clean them. I'd like to. As thanks.
[ for thanks? kaeya stfu ]
no subject
If that's the case... Is it to protect yourself or others, I wonder.
[ Niah lifts his head over the table like he wants to see their guests one last time. There may be a small smirk, or is it a smile. Who knows. ]
But it is disappointing. I had hoped to spend more time with you today, Kaeya Alberich. Farewell.
