[Ah. There is a fleeting, childish temptation to deny any knowledge of what Maruki is talking about. Foolish, considering he'd done this in the first place to force the issue, as the man had put it. Turns out he's still allergic to compliments even when what he's being complimented on was something done to make a point.]
it's just a hobby, not anything especially fancy

glad you liked it though never really tried writing my own shit down as a recipe before so i dunno how well it'll come out for you let me know if you wind up having trouble
there's dreamers running whole restaurants, right? i only really feed myself most of the time this was just so you don't have to wish for it every time you're craving some
augh guess it's a good thing money's just in talking to people around here
[A good thing for people who are more social than Shinjiro Aragaki, anyway, but look, he's never had much money in his life so very little has changed tbh.]
yeah that was a mess hope you got hardwood floors in there, it'd be a nightmare getting blood outta the carpet
don't exactly have a bustling social calendar myself how's tomorrow
It's hardly the first time my office has been covered in blood, so it was no trouble at all.
Tomorrow sounds great!
By the way... I know you aren't exactly the sociable type, but I'm considering hosting a dinner for a small [ lmao ] group of people later this month. If I invited you, would you be willing to come?
[Shinjiro might've had a smartass comment to make about the blood, but then the next texts roll in and that's all out the window. His reaction looks a little like this.]
you want me to come to a dinner party with your friends?
[ More so because it would be healthy for Shinjiro to meet people than anything else – unsurprisingly, even when it comes to his own birthday, Maruki's only thinking of others. ]
[Oh this is a Formal Invitation sort of deal, huh.
...Well, he never did get around to re-donating all those clothes Akechi ended up buying during the hanahakipocalypse. Perhaps some of them will come in handy after all.]

Perhaps you should try writing down more recipes. There are certainly those here who could benefit from them...

Given how many of us are from Japan, it's a wonder no one has opened up a Japanese restaurant yet...
no subject
guess nobody wants to be responsible for keeping it up longterm
that one curry event was pretty popular though
maybe there'll be more like that
[Oh the typing dots. They bounce for such a while.]
was there anything else you wanted to learn specifically

Are you any good at baking bread?
no subject
never really tried making western breads
no subject
Truthfully, I'm hopeless when it comes to baking. Every time I try with Jean or Eren or Kazuya, it ends in disaster for whatever I've tried to make...
no subject
[Which Maruki knows of course, having so kindly made sure was functional when they found this place `_`]
when do you wanna do it
you can't be worse than this one teammate i had
girl could burn water

My schedule is freer now that people don't need to utilize my office to cough up flowers. I'm available any time!

should i bring anything

I'll be sure to send it to you soon!
