[ he gives a little hum! It's been difficult for him to loosen up, honestly. ]

For the most part. I'm not very good at socializing so my attempts have been a bit stilted. The activities are fun though.

[ That and the adults tend to patronize him and it rubs him the wrong way. ]

[averageineverything]

I think you're good company. You're just a bit reserved... but so am I, so it works out.

[his smile softens just a bit, because he can't tell if he's being too much at the moment.]

Do you want to try something together tomorrow? Something active? Swimming, archery... Or crafts?

[infinitemist]

You've always been easy to talk to for me.

[ Senjuro please, you are never too much. If anything he seems more relaxed with Senjuro there. ]

Oh, sure. Have you gone swimming yet? I'm kind of curious about what's down there.

[averageineverything]

[sometimes he feels it! the past year has forced him in ways both good and bad to be a bit more outgoing than he'd naturally be.]

I've stuck my feet in the water, but not actually gone for a swim. It would make for a good stretch! Why don't we meet between breakfast and lunch?

[thank gods the magic isn't out of control anymore. at least he isn't going to add to the bonfire with his warming cheeks as he scrambles to clarify --]

N-not that we can't spend time together right now!

[infinitemist]

That sounds like a good plan.

[ Yeah sorry you're not getting rid of him. ]

We can enjoy ourselves just fine like this, too. Have you made a s'more yet?

[ He had no idea what they were until like five minutes ago, he is fascinated. ]

[thank heavens for that.

he nods and pulls out a convenient sack of ingredients. this kid is always ready to feed people.]

I have! If you'd like, I can show you what I find to be the best roast on a marshmallow for the perfect texture and temperature...! [ya boi is s'moresmaxxing.]

[infinitemist]

[ Senjuro please stop being so endearing (Don't actually). He smiles fondly at the other boy, hoping it's not too obvious how he's feeling. ]

There's a particular way to roast them?

[ Guess whose first attempt was charcoal-- ]

[averageineverything]

[he's poking a couple of marshmallows onto some skewers and handing one to muichiro before he demonstrates. time to activate his cooking neurons.]

Well, the precise cook is up to you, because it's subjective. Some people enjoy a slight burnt taste or a still springy marshmallow. Personally, I find that low and slow achieves a crispy but unburnt exterior and a gooey interior, and the even heat throughout is enough to partly melt the chocolate as you're assembling and eating the sandwich!
