"Some people tend to call it somethin' like destiny, but I ain't like that. I think what pulled me to ya is that despite how different our circumstances are, we have that person who's oddly like us."
"Oh? Just now yer findin' yerself glad that ya did?" He said in a teasing tone
He rested his chin on the top of her head.
"Of course, little mystery is always important. Makes things excitin' and new when ya find it out."
He stood there in silence for a moment.
"I'm glad I stumbled into yer little hidden place..."
"Ya would be surprised, she's a mystery even to me at times... and I've known her for a good chunk of time!" He gave a small chuckle.
As she leaned into the embrace, he held her firmly. Not too tight, not to soft, but enough to let her know that he was there and wanted to be.
"Now that seems like some good fun~"

"Still, ya did somethin' for me, I should at least thank ya for yer efforts"
Looking up in thought, then over towards her. "I would like that. It's a bit harder for ya to meet my ma, but I'm sure she would like ya."
Pulling her closer, he wrapped his arms around her from behind
"I think that would be good... for both ya and yer mother. Havin' something ya can do together, somethin' ya can bond over."
He smiled down at her as he reached and took hold of her hand.
"Thank ya Brair... really..."
She heard he liked it? From who?
"I don't mind if it ain't pretty... ya tried, that's what matters. And if this means I get to have more flan as ya learn and get better at it, I'm excited for it!" He smiled widely.
"I look forward to more Briar... also yer cute when ya blush~"
"Don't know what yer ma is talkin' about...I think it's delicious."
He continued to eat it, taking bite after bite. Eventually, the whole thing would be gone. Wiping his mouth, his attention turned to look at her.
"Hey... thanks Briar... I appreciate it... and the fact that-
He would take a few steps away from her with had he planned.
"Yer strong Flora, but ya hold yerself back. If we're bein' honest, ya could have easily incinerated this man into dust. He's not built for fightin', he's built for noble fencin' duels and handicapped fights. He stood-
special that ya can't do somethin' as impressive if not more."
Kneeling down, he placed his hand to the ground. Erupting all around them, hundreds of feet out, spectral and physical chains appeared. Lashing out onto the ground and trees, spreading the blood of the man far out.

"Pork shoulder. Slow boiled for a few hours to first get the flavor into the meat, then ya bake it for another chunk of hours to get it cooked. Ya know it's perfect when the skin gives a nice crunch when ya bite into it"
"My family... well, more so friends of the family ya known so lon' that they're basically family... well they don't sell their whiskey to anyone. They only sell to welcomin' places... of a variety of people and bein's."
He took his seat next to her as he ordered two glasses.-
