Best thing you've ever eaten.

[heliophilic]

[M seems to give this a lot more thought than it should be given, though he gets this sentimental expression on his face as he mulls it over.]

Grilled kielbasa with red potatoes and onions.

[littlemissfutility]

[She's smiling by the time he answers.]

Here or at home?

[heliophilic]

At home.

[A pause.]

It was the first real meal I'd ever eaten. I wasn't always into food, you know. It's still a little foreign to me. My diet used to consist almost entirely of peanut butter... I still have what people have called "a scary amount" of it in my kitchen.

[littlemissfutility]

How much is a scary amount?

[heliophilic]

I've been told my cabinets resemble the grocery aisle.

[littlemissfutility]

...That sounds kinda great.

[heliophilic]

You like peanut butter that much?

[He guesses that it's more likely tied with the not having TV and such at home thing anymore, but he's--gasp--actually trying to be polite.]

[littlemissfutility]

[He's not wrong. Fortunately, this is an easy part of the whole Thing about home to talk about.]

I like food. And peanut butter lasts forever.

[heliophilic]

Would you like to come over for peanut butter taste testing sometime? I'll break out the crackers and you can try all the different brands I've got hidden away.

[littlemissfutility]

Sure. But not for the peanut butter.

[heliophilic]

It's because someone told you about my Dragprawn, isn't it. Everyone seems enamored with my robot shrimp.

Or is it because you'd like to visit my mischief of rats?

[M googled what a group of rats is called. He's never going to miss an opportunity to use it.]

I've got a chinchilla now too. People keep leaving me things.

[littlemissfutility]

Your mischief of rats?

[That's ridiculous, and it sounds fake, but whatever. It's kind of cute.]

And no, it's not because of that. Either one. But I've never seen a chinchilla before.

[heliophilic]

That's what they're called, look it up.

[It really is what they're called.]

Then what is it?

[littlemissfutility]

[Well, now she has to--and inevitably, she's delighted by the result.] I can't believe somebody decided to call them a mischief. That's amazing.

You're fun to hang out with. [Duh.]

[heliophilic]

Biologists clearly have too much time on their hands.

[M seems genuinely taken aback by that answer.]

I'm not used to being called "fun."

[littlemissfutility]

[She grins. ]

Yeah, yeah. You're new to fun. But you picked it up pretty quick.

[heliophilic]

So I've been told, but I thought he was obligated to say something nice. My boyfriend, I mean.

[It's still a weird thought, though. Being the person someone goes to to just hang out and have fun.]

[littlemissfutility]

If he was saying it just because he felt obligated, he probably wouldn't be sticking around as your boyfriend. And he seems to like you, so he's gotta be telling the truth.

[heliophilic]

I know. I'm just still not used to taking the compliment.

[Stupid truth stuff.]

[littlemissfutility]

Then it's good practice, right?

[heliophilic]

Heh, got me there.
