[Jusis looks away at that. There's definitely not a slight blush. You're imagining things!]
I didn't say I liked them, but I did miss them.
[Gosh, Elliot, nobody needs to know how much he likes friendship and being reminded of friendship!!!]
no subject
Are you sure? It's a little weird to miss something you didn't like...~
no subject
I simply have morbid curiosity to the depths of his corniness. And how he can come up with such speeches without any preparation whatsoever.
[TOPIC CHANGE—]
At any rate, your hot pot is delicious. I'd ask for your recipe, but I'm afraid my skills would only be a pale imitation.
no subject
Well that, my friend, I'm afraid is one of the great wonders of the world. Even I can't figure out how he does it on demand.
[Because oh yes, he's been on the other end of it MANY times before]
Hehe, thank you! I'm sure you could do just as well though. The trick to hot pot is making sure to have wonderful company to share it with.
no subject
He shakes his head with a wry smile.]
I believe the brilliance of my company is what it is because of the equal brilliance of the host. Truthfully, only my tea brewing skills are anything I can boast about.
[That's not entirely true, but he can certainly brew some excellent teas. Though, now that he thinks about it some more....]
I suppose if you and Rean are willing to suffer through my culinary mistakes, I'd be willing to put more effort into expanding my recipe list. Cooking for other people is motivating in its own way.
[Especially since Jusis doesn't want to embarrass himself in front of his friends.]
no subject
Alright, now you're getting a little mushy. [He says a bit teasingly.]
But hey, don't worry! I'm sure your culinary mistakes will be nowhere near as bad as some mistakes I've to experience. I mean, it's not like you think the shells of eggs are edible, right?
no subject
That's a tad rich coming from our second-in-command of sappy speeches. That being said, we are about to deep-dive into Twitter discourse to see if we can find Regnitz. I think for today we can forgive anything too saccharine.
[That doesn't mean he won't gently tease his friend about it, and he's sure that's the same for said friend. Still! Jusis is going to try to be... uh... openly nice. Just for tonight!!!
Jusis actually shudders at the idea of someone thinking eggshells are edible.]
That's not real, surely.
[He says, when he has prosecuted criminals who have made really stupid mistakes.]
no subject
I'm not second-in-command of that! [Yes, yes he is] And oof- right, I nearly forgot about that. Yeah, probably best to make ourselves feel good before twitter destroys our souls.
[Look he's been having such a nice time just catching up with Jusis it's easy to forget their main mission here. ]
Aha- it's sadly real. A student of mine stayed with me for awhile, and he was very insistent on helping out with cooking and chores. Unfortunately he...didn't know the first thing about doing any of that stuff. [He scratches his jaw] It was a steep learning curve.
no subject
[He sounds a little amused. Honestly, Jusis hasn't enjoyed himself this much in a very long time, so it's quite refreshing for him.
Definitely thinking that box labeled 'Hunter' is this student. It seems rude to him to talk about that on their first real hang out, so he just keeps this tidbit in mind. Plus, as Elliot said, they're going to go through the soul-sucking despair that is Twitter. Best to save it for another time for sure.]
Goodness... I'll consider myself fortunate that my uncle made sure I wasn't quite that hopeless.
no subject
Yeah, we'll see about that. I've heard another gay musician is running Hell these days anyway, so I'm not too worried about how it ends up.
[He says jokingly. This is really nice, getting to relax like this with Jusis. He really needed this. ]
Yeah, I'd say that was lucky you had him ... [Not all uncles were net positives, he thinks to himself. But...yeah. Probably best to leave that can of worms for another time.]
Does your uncle still run a restaurant?
no subject
[He's certainly happy to trade jokes like this. This has been missing from his life, and he's glad to have found it.
Sometimes, blood relations aren't the positive people hope for. Jusis knows that well enough.]
He does, as it happens. Mother had to talk him down from moving locations when my father collected us, though. We did take the time to visit him whenever we could, but that's gotten harder since she and I moved to the States. The best I've been able to do is call him once a week.
[There's a hint of fondness in his tone. Clearly, Jusis's uncle is still a positive influence in his life.]
Do you still have a sister who plays music?
