Yello! [Sorry, you have youth yelling in your Pie Hole without much care for any other potential customers.] Nedster, my man, hope you have a ton of dishes for me to wash, 'cause I'm ready to eat about a billion pies right now.

[onetouch]

Hyperion. [ ned smiles warmly, even chuckling a little at the boy's declaration. it's slow afternoon so there aren't that many other customers to disturb. and even if there were he'd find it hard to cut off the younger man's enthusiasm. ] May I start you with one pie in particular? Or should I rent a truck?

[nightblogs]

Eh, guess I'll go easy on ya to start.

[Don't mind if he slips onto a seat, both arms crossed over the table.]

I'll take the apple cinnamon, if you don't mind.

[onetouch]

Of course I don't mind. Extra cream? [ he waves a hand like of course you do don't even answer before disappearing into the kitchen for a second. ]

Would you like some hot cocoa?

[nightblogs]

Y'know what I like.

[yeah boyeeee.]

How much for the hot cocoa?

[onetouch]

[ he pretends to mull that over. ] I'll throw it in for an extra dish.

Or some silverware! [ he's still in the kitchen. ]

[nightblogs]

Fine, fine! [just make it good, man.]

'N what've you been up to?

[onetouch]

Oh, mostly... Just this. [ he's saying as he comes back out onto the floor, setting a slice of pie and a steaming mug of chocolate mini marshmallows and all down in front of hyperion. ]

Though I did get swept up in that - thing. [ a slight grimace and a shrug. the corruption. he'd been kidnapped but hey nbd right? ] Last week.

[nightblogs]

Sweeeet. [He's pulling up his sleeves, like a tiny ritual to ready himself for the upcoming party of deliciousness. Hyperion's smiling all the way through, and in a way that not many people have managed to get him to smile thus far.]

Oh yeah? Hope it didn't suck too hard.

[onetouch]

Literally. [ ned agrees with a succinct nod. though his smile falters a bit at the mention of suckage. ]

It didn't not suck.

[nightblogs]

Shit, man, sorry to hear that. Wanna talk about it?

[onetouch]

...N-no. I mean. That's alright, it's. It's over now. [ he waves a hand in a dismissive way, wiping off the counter absently even though there's nothing there to clean off. ]

[nightblogs]

No, seriously, if you wanna talk about it, I don't mind. I'm like an a-plus listener, for real.

[onetouch]

It just-- [ he had learned in the city to trust people more, and this ship seemed to constantly scale that back. ned blew out a sigh. ] Maybe I'm just naive. Maybe I trust too easily.

[ maybe i shouldn't even tell you what happened lest it might happen again. ]

[nightblogs]

Oh, man - I know what that's like, [He's nodding knowingly. He really has been through a lot of shit like that in his time, despite his age.] Shit's not easy. But, y'know, you kinda learn who you can trust and who you can't. Just takes a little time. But you gotta have some leverage, too.

[onetouch]

[ that he just smiles at. ] That's why I have pie.

[ see, hyperion, there's more to this simple pie man than you'll ever know. ]

[nightblogs]

Yeah. Right. [He's nodding slowly, picking it up a few seconds later. He points at Ned.] Exactly what I mean. That's why you got pie.
