Shiro's busy right now!
Leave her a message, maybe?
Or just come find Shiro! Bye!

"I did? I - thank you. I mean - you're welcome," he says, almost fumbling the pan he's washing. "I'm glad you liked them. I just - I found the recipes in the library."

She nods, but the gesture is kind of pointless, since he's not looking. She follows it with an affirmative sound. "And the--gloves. They're pretty. I don't have anything like that." Maybe she should stop lingering in the doorway. She isn't sure what else she's supposed to say, only that some part of her wants to ask him about Mikodez and Alec's announcements, about the new year and a party she might not have otherwise considered. Instead, she says something else.
"You want help finishing up? I'm not doing anything."

"Oh, I - I've not got much left to do," he says, hurriedly. "Besides, you - you work so hard anyway."

"So do you," she says, almost surprised. "More than me." She has her morning shift in the kitchen, her and Erskine and Ardyn, and true, that sometimes crosses over into lunchtime. But aside from his shift, he helps maintenance, she's seen him, and she's just--well, Ardyn is complicated, but he's also an adult who doesn't need a babysitter. She's still trying to figure him out. "But--okay. Just wanted to come say thank you." She turns to go, hesitates again.
"Um, I saw Alec's announcement. Since you and him...um, does that mean you're going?"

Credence's original plan was 'go if Shiro's going' but he has nowhere near the courage necessary to establish whether that's the case.
"I, um, yes. I guess I'll be - helping him."

"Then, maybe--I'll, um. See you there? It's Mikodez's birthday, New Year's. He asked if I'd go, I guess. I don't really...go to parties. Too many people. But if you're going..." she trails off, not quite certain exactly why this is difficult, just knowing that it is. It's just another barge gathering. But also it's not 'just' anything, she thinks.
no subject
The idea that Shiro's own rationale might have been 'go if Credence is going' is both thrilling and terrifying at once.
"Then I'll. See you there," he agrees, with somewhat more confidence than he's feeling.
no subject
"Yeah. Yeah, I'll--see you there." There should probably be less elation about that. It's not anything. But it certainly feels like a something.
