I completely agree.

[notapinkhime]

Thank you, Joe-san! For most of us, the answer is obvious.

[ajoeface]

[Honestly Joe doesn't want Ahim to answer that, not out loud. He knows the answer - they all know the answer, they just don't talk about it, any of them. But there's maybe this teeny, tiny part of him that wants her to say-]

A-Ah. Yes.

[notapinkhime]

[Ahim just smiles up at him.]

But you'll always be the one who saved me.

[Not that she needed saving. Though the sword he tossed her way was helpful. And he helped her get out of the castle.]

[He scratches his head in confusion]

Eh, isn't it that all questions have answers?

[ajoeface]

[Oh dear. She's right there, all kind of tiny. And smiling. At him.]

[Joe shakes his head, takes a half-step back.]

You don't need to mention that.

[He kind of loves that she does.]

[...Not that she needed saving.]

[notapinkhime]

Most of them do! But some don't.

Or are best left unsaid.

[Ponders a bit]

Ah! Is that why Luka hits me when I ask her if she likes anyone??

[notapinkhime]

[Ahim just hides her smile behind her hand. Where are the teacups when you need them?

Joe is so adorable sometimes. She can't resist teasing him, just a little.]

Of course I do! It was an important event for me.

[She wouldn't be here today if it weren't for him, so even if she didn't saving - she needed this.]

I don't think I can thank you enough for it, Joe-san.

[notapinkhime]

[Ahim nods, completely serious. Her smile isn't even mocking.]

Knowing Luka-san, yes that would be the reason.

[ajoeface]

It was nothing, honestly.

[It was something, honestly. Really something. But, oh God, doesn't Ahim know how to bake a cake? That's how you thank people! Silently! Not with these sweet smiles, and words, and delicate prettiness as if there isn't steel under there.]

My favorite part is when you threw that lamp on the gormin's head!

That's where I got my plant technique! It never hurts to be resourceful!

[notapinkhime]

One day I'll make you believe it was something.


[Unfortunately, Ahim's cooking skills are limited to heating water and pouring tea. She won't say no to baking lessons, however. But until then - Joe will just have to deal with smiles and words.]

[notapinkhime]

Indeed, it doesn't hurt. You must make the best of the situation and use what resources are around if you intend to survive.
