[ sticky! very. he seems pleased that d seems to like it, though, giving him an eyebrow raise that suggests - right? isn't it good?
the comment makes him make a thoughtful noise, though, as he munches on his own cinnamon roll, equally as careful not to get any sort of cinnamon on his hands. listen. he gets it. ]
Mmm... no, it suits me. I came into it - sort of a family business. I don't mind it too much. It's more like I just don't control as much of it as my forbearer did. He's not quite dead, you see, so there's little point in me taking the entire thing over, in case he returns.
[ boy does he know that feeling. he hums, tearing off another piece of cinnamon roll - and the last comment gets a soft laugh, though it's more wry and recognizing than actually full of humor. ]
Aha. The one breaker of the shackles of capitalism and tradition, hm? [ you know
death. ] Cheers to that. [ fei du holds out the little piece of pastry for an ironic cheers. clink pastries. ]

no subject
Ah. I understand.
[Wow, haha… He is quiet for a moment, debating. He rests his wrist on the edge of the table in favor of having to lick his fingers.]
I manage a pet shop, but the business belongs to my grandfather.

or don't, maybe? who knows. anyway!! either way fei du makes a thoughtful noise to that response and asks, in turn. ]
And does that suit you?
no subject
It's a duty which I will fulfill until I can no longer fulfill it.
[This is not a yes (or a no), but maybe that is more telling than anything else.]
Which may or may not be the case now, I suppose.

[Oh. He will cheer with his cinnamon roll, yeah. Clink the pastries. This is the stupidest thing, but he is doing it for posterity. In that vein:]
Do you plan to go back? To try for another chance.
no subject
[ as simple as that! it's not much of an answer as much as it is one - he pops the cinnamon roll into his mouth. ] You?
no subject
