Um... This is Bertolt, and if you're hearing this I'm probably busy. You can leave a message here or call back later if you want? ...Can I start over?

Armin? Is everything okay?

_{[HE WANTS TO ERR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION AND THINK IT'S ALL FINE, but who knows with this world.]}

Sorry, I didn't mean to worry you. I'm fine. I just need your help picking a desert. You have the most experience of us all when it comes to baking, so I'd really like your input on this.

What's uh|
What's the occasion?

I guess you could say... lunch with a friend?

[In trying not to be shifty, he ended up being more shifty! Good job.]

Lunch...

_{[And now it's clear that he's spent too long around Jean--]}

On a scale of one to Sweep Them Off Their Feet, how much do you want to impress them?

Sweep them off their feet...? No! Wait, no! It's not like that! It's completely platonic!

Isn't that how it always starts?

_[ARMIN...]

You know I'm only teasing, right?

You just sounded a lot like Jean, is all.

[Jean is also only teasing when he does stuff like that. (probably) But he can be hard to dissuade from the subject.]

But really, I think it is pretty safe to say romance is not what is happening here.

Maybe he's rubbed off on me more than I realized.

_[Bertolt.]

Though he's better at teasing people than I am, honestly. But uh|
what sort of thing were you looking for?

Well, you are the expert here, but... maybe something sweet? Or a little sour. I was thinking a pie would be easiest to share, but I am also open to other suggestions. I really don't know a lot about this stuff.

Why not come by and look through the books I've got? There might be something in there that'll jump out at you.

Could I? I mean, I don't want to bother you if you are busy. But I do really need some help.

It hasn't been too busy here so it's fine - just watch the roof for Freiheit. She's been roosting up there when she's not...

well|

when she's not terrorizing Starmiebucks.

I'll, uh, watch my head.

[He doesn't want to be mistaken for a delicious edible coconut or anything.]

I'll be there in a few. Thanks for doing this.

It's fine, I promise. How many times did I come to you for help with what few water types I have?

_{[A beat, and he quickly adds;]}

Go ahead and let yourself in, too. We're not expecting anyone else to stop by today so it's fine.

_{[And really, all Bertolt has been doing is copying down more recipes off the Pokegear in some new notebooks at the table because what's a computer??]}

[Bertolt really ought to get into the computers. Not that it has exactly stopped Armin from taking a lot of notes in his various notebooks, but they do have a tremendous amount of use. The staryoutube cooking videos alone would probably make it all worth for Bertolt.

Plus, there is the porn.

True to his word, Armin is there in a few. FCAB is not exactly hard to find, even without a screeching Aerodactyl on top, so soon enough, Bertolt should be hearing the opening of the door (probably with the little bell that comes with it, all shops have that right?) and there be Armin, looking like he hurried here a bit. Which he did. He doesn't know anything about all this baking business, okay. Who knows how much time this is going to take. Better get here nice and quick.]
