Definitely not Kiki's Delivery Service

I've noticed a number of absences at dinner.

I'm not affected and I'm not interesting in asking you questions.

[The first is a lie: he can do that, when not asked a direct question. The second is mostly true, except by implication, because he might ask questions anyway. Like this one.]

Which of you are skipping meals to avoid encountering people during this flood?

[Anyone who answers yes - and even some of you who don't - are going to get food deliveries from Trainspike Hedgehog, here.]

[OOC: feel free to through up a spam response to him knocking, if you want that instead of a network thread.]

If you need any help with the carrying, let me know.

[myironeyes]

Thank you for the offer.

[He won't take her up on it. But he might show up at her room later with little honey cakes. Because reasons.]

[fireincarnate]

Any time. [And there's an intent sort of sincerity, right beneath the words.]

[myironeyes]

I'll remember.

[This isn't a hardship for him. It's occupying, fulfilling. But he is finally starting to accept, on some fundamental level, that he doesn't have to be alone.]
