[ Often enough to miss it, but not often enough nowadays. Things change, times change, messy breakups happen etc etc.
Strangely enough, Saiduq is more at home watching the telekinetic multitasking than watching humans prepare food the conventional way. In fact, that's exactly what he does when preparing food as well. (Nobody tell him about Disney's Beauty and the Beast.) ]
I did little. It was you who accepted the opportunity.
[ And even though the colony's not in the best shape, times like this, simple and short, can still exist, can't they? He tilts his head ever so slightly. ]
What kind of tea do you have?
[ He won't voice his preferences just yet. He wants to see if Ai will give him a choice in that. Something as mundane as that can say a lot about a person. ]
[ Green tea is the tea he has the most familiarity with, but he certainly won't limit himself to just one, if she's offering him all these choices. A small chuckle. ]
[ Granted, he doesn't eat a lot (if at all)...and isn't sure how much Ai would like his food enough to devour. And he's happy to hear that their relationship (no, not necessarily that kind of relationship) is apparently going well........... ]
I suppose it is encouraged in some cultures to leave little or nothing remaining, but that is not the case in others...
[ He's just musing on something he finds interesting. So many people from so many varying backgrounds, each with their own views on something as seemingly simple as food. ]
[Oh... This isn't a question she expected him to ask. And for a being like him to be interested, it was odd. Or was it? Ai pauses as water is poured into a kettle and set on the stove.]
... I don't mind.
[Her smile is reassuring.]
You'd be the first to ask that directly though. What would you like to know exactly?
Perhaps you could tell me about people who have greatly influenced you.
[ That seems like a relatively easy way to get things started. Hard-hitting if she wants it to be, but not hard enough that she can't back out if she wants to either. People...can be easier understood by understanding the company they keep, in a way. ]
I see. Admiration is not always necessary...too much can blind you.
[ And that's why he broke up with his ex, because even he can't let the former Shining One do things like that. He can't say he knows the feeling of...admiration, unless they're talking about humans and the Shining One. Even then, for humans, it was more like a general perception of humanity rather than one particular figure (save for the Shining One of course). ]

[Ai holds up two of the three choices in her hands while the third floats above her head.]
I think the first two would go best with cake, but the third is a pleasant surprise. It makes it hard to choose...
Unless you'd like to try all three!
no subject
Trying all three sounds like a splendid idea.

[Generous? Sure. Impractical? MAYBE? But he's a mysterious alien like creature, too much tea shouldn't be a problem for him.]
Has Hiro tried any of your baking though?
no subject
Not yet.
[ Yet. ]
I am still in the stages of experimenting.
[ And he doesn't really want to present him with an unfinished product...which means everyone else will be his guinea pigs. ]

[ It sounds interesting, but what this line of discussion brings to mind is something else that may or may not be more pressing. ]
May I ask more about your upbringing? I understand if it is not a topic you want to broach, of course.
[ Since...well, most of his knowledge about it was gleaned when the infamous birthday bawler boy was involved. ]

I... I have a sister. A twin. But I don't she's a great influence. We're both so different from each other.
And I don't think I really admired anyone in my world. It's sad really. Not even the people who raised me.
