Eridan just raised an eyebrow, looking at Dave with a very amused expression. "I'm sure they don't. Thirsty people need to go a long way to get what they want, don't they?" He was grinning, smirking really, but all in amusement as he looked at Dave.

"A few minutes." Eridan glanced at the clock again, sighing and shifting forward to rest his elbows on the table. "Might get something sweet to go. What do recommend o thirsty one?"

He rolled his eyes with a slight sigh. He was already used to it, the whole digging himself into a deeper hole thing. It happened rather frequently. "C'mon dude I didn't mean it in any other way than the AJ obsessed way. I'm hella thirsty now. For AJ of course."

He hurries to change the subject. "Well, Jane tried this recipe today for a Portuguese sweet thing, I think it should do, it's really fucking nice. I don't know how to pronounce it for the life of me though. It's the second one on the bottom row." Dave gestures vaguely to the vitrine, where a couple of sweets can be found in a row, with "Pasteis de Nata" as the name of said sweet. "I found her here this morning, she was really excited about it. She also mentioned that it takes cinnamon."

"I'm only teasing." He smiled slightly and rolled his eyes, shaking his head at Dave. "An' I will continue to tease you about this until I understand your thirst for this so called ambrosia." He grinned, a fin flicking in amusement.

Eridan leaned slightly to have a look at the sweet, furrowing his brow. "I'll have one of them. I've got to go now, exams gonna be starting soon an' I'd rather not be late." He stood up, swinging his bag over his shoulder. "How much is it?"

"You will understand it soon enough, mark my words." He got up, clearing the table as he usually did. "And then you're going to be addicted and you're going to be broke as fuck from buying it so often. It's a blessing but also a curse."

Heading behind the counter, he crabs a small card box, slightly bigger than a hand, and places one of the sweets in there. "Nah this one is on the house. Just give me feedback on it to see if it is any good." He smiled slightly as he slid it over the counter, placing money of his own in the cashier.

2015-06-28 03:23:53

"I doubt I'll go broke Dave." Not with his income/inheritence anyway.

Eridan smiled as he accepted the sweet, "will do. I'll send you a list of necessities you should bring with you if we go this weekend. I was checking the forecast a few days ago, light winds for most of this week an' that should include Friday. I'll let you know though, an' if you need to bring anything else." He smiled again and moved to the door, turning a bit to wave over his shoulder.

2015-06-28 03:30:28

"Alright, thanks for that, I'll be looking forwards for our little rendezvous to fuck knows where." He waves back at Eridan. "And good luck for that exam!" He adds as Eridan goes out, hoping he did hear him, before getting back to work. He didn't feel as giddy about a trip since he was a fifth grader or something like that, it was a nice feeling.

2015-06-28 03:34:23

🌀

Eridan only waved over his shoulder in return, hurrying through the coming throngs of people as he headed to the lecture hall. The sweet was eaten as he walked, moving fast around a large group of people. His mind was back on the facts and names and dates he knew, going over them again as he finish the sweet and stepped into the hall for his exam.

2015-06-28 03:42:24

He went through his work as usual, staying there for two hours before he went to his class. He wasn't really paying attention, he took the chance to revise instead of listening to techniques on how to calm down and stuff of the sort. He had no idea why the teacher was telling them that, but he wasn't really your average middle-aged man. He was also a bit loopy in Dave's opinion.

2015-06-28 03:46:23

🌀

Eridan lost all track of time in his exam. It wasn't until he stumbled out into the sunlight nearly four hours later did he realise what time it was. He thought about stopping by for another coffee but decided against it, too drained from his studying and his cold and built up lack of sleep.

He needed to check the weather forecast and find that list of things for Dave anyway.

2015-06-28 03:56:56

●

Dave did help out at the coffee shop after class, tired and spent, but he took the chance to warn a couple of people that he was going to be away for the weekend after his last exam. People didn't ask questions, and he was just fine with that.

Going back home, he ends up having a strife with Bro for two more hours, and its only at six in the afternoon that he can have a shower and relax.

2015-06-28 03:59:11

🌀

Eridan ended up napping for another two hours when he got home. He had a shower first to wash the stench from. The day off of him and flopped straight onto the couch.

When he woke up he went about looking for the checklist he'd made for himself ages ago, when he first bought the boat. Typing it up on his laptop, he save the file and sent it off to Dave, having put the tracks sent to him on loop again and letting it play out into the kitchen as he set about cooking something to eat.

2015-06-28 04:04:34

●

Dave didn't get the file until half an hour later or so, when he finally turned on his computer, but when he did, he smiled a little.

🌀

CA: i havve about eight or nine recipes

CA: hang on ill type them out for you

CA: so you can givve them to jane

Eridan stood up from his desk, moving to the kitchen and getting the recipe book down from the cupboard. He took it with him back to the desk, opening to the first recipe and pulling up a word doc.

Each recipe was sent to Dave with the Alternian name and the English translation.

CA: here

2015-06-28 21:10:16

Dave tries googling a couple of them, but he doesn't find much. The best thing he finds is a picture of some dinner with one of the sweets being served. He sighs a little, but forwards the files to Jane, waiting for her to open them.

TG: thanks she probably appreciates that

He stops a little after he says that, thinking of what to type next, but while he does that it kinda gets to him that he's been talking to Eridan for about four days in a row, with the exception of the time he spends sleeping, working, studying, or in class. It isn't very surprising, but it's a bit of a reality check. It's a nice change.

TG: the only alternian cuisine ive seen around is from these high class restaurants

TG: shit be expensive

2015-06-28 21:27:23

🌀

CA: welcome

Eridan was studying the recipes, biting his lip as he thought. They were making him very hungry.

Fuck it. He'll just cook some himself.

He stood and took his laptop and the recipe book with him to the kitchen pulling down ingredients.

CA: foreign shit is usually expensivve

CA: an i can assure evven for alternians its expensivve

CA: this is high class seadwweller/highblood food

CA: if jane wwants it to sell wwell id advvise her to sell it at similar prices to the human food

2015-06-29 04:27:10

●

TG: shell suggest something that profits us

TG: no idea of how much it costs to make them so its up to her

TG: but im sure shell be reasonable about it

He was starting to get hungry too. He hasnt eating anything since 5 hours ago, and he had a strife not ago. Shit, the more he thought about it, he was famished

TG: im about to leave and get something to eat

TG: probably a burger

TG: feel free to join

TG: or not

TG: just extending the invitation to you.

Forcing himself to get up, he groans as he starts getting his clothe on, his muscles still sore as hell

2015-06-29 17:08:18

🌀

Eridan had flour on one hand by now, swapping out alternian brands for human ones, because it worked so much easier and tasted (in his opinion) a lot better. He typed with one hand in reply to Dave.

CA: im makin food noww

CA: i got hungry typin out recipes for swweets

CA: if you wwant you can come ovver an try em for free

CA: first class alternian swweets

CA: an wwhatevver else i can find in the fridge

Dave picked up the phone after his hoodie was on, reaching for his wallet as he reads the messages.

TG: you sure?

TG: i can pick up something if you need it on the way there

TG: like drinks or something

TG: aj is sure to come with me so you migh as well take the chance.

Warning Bro of what was going down, he grabbed a couple of AJ bottles from the fridge, putting them in a small backpack

2015-06-29 23:53:14

🌀

CA: that isnt apples

CA: like an orange or grapes or somethin

CA: also yes in sure

He was grinning though as he sent the message, up to his elbows now in floury shit as he added more sugar.
