[ When people say hard work pays off, they sure mean it, huh. Yuuji nods - Yotsuba does really seem like the kind who'd do things earnestly, even if he doesn't know him all that well yet! Heck, they've just gotten to know each other!! But that's what Yuuji feels! ]

Yeah, go ahead!!

[ He'd love to get an opinion on it too! Yuuji's sense of taste isn't exactly dead, but it's not the most reliable sometimes... in many ways. ]

Nah, I'm good! I've eaten my share so if you like it, finish it! You don't need to if you don't, 'course!

[ In fact, that dessert was just splendid when he's feeling like something sweet, balancing out the amount of salt he's been consuming. Oh, that reminds him-- ]

Thanks for the pudding, by the way!! [ That's close! He nearly forgets to say his gratitude! ] It sure hits the spot... [ He rubs his stomach like an old man with beer belly, eyes drooping in plain satisfaction. ]
