Hi everyone! It's your favorite Taichi Nanao here! I have a question!

What are your favorite junk food combos?

Not like pizza and cola, but like combination foods like mac and cheese pizza or donut burgers?

Here's a new one I discovered for inspiration:

Chili cheese flaming hot Cheetos pie! 🤤

You've been here for a while though! Hehe, someone should make you a smorgy borg of new flavors!

[ He means smorgasbord, but has no idea how to spell it close enough for autocorrect and the translation magic to figure out what he meant... ]

[beautyrest]

Oh, I did not say I've not tried them. They're a bit too spicy for me, at best, I can handle pepperoncini but a dear friend of mine, Zuko, likes them a good deal so I use those in the dishes I cook for him.

[arf]

Oh! Zucchan's got good taste! Hehe, my favorite are jalapenos. They aren't super spicy if you take the seeds out, you might like those! You could try bell peppers too, they're sweet.

[beautyrest]

Zucchan? I have not heard this nickname before. It's cute.

I have had bell peppers, I can handle those well enough.

[arf]

Yeah! I think he likes it!

Yeah, they're like a 0 on the Scoville scale. You could probably handle Banana Peppers too, they're really low Hmm.. and um... I think Poblano is the next one up? I forget.

[beautyrest]

He does? Well, if he enjoys that nickname, I shall be sure to call him that.

I... do not know this scale you speak of, but I will take your word for it. Do you cook with them?

[arf]

I'm sure he'll like hearing a girl like you call him so familiarly! Hehe!

You can! Heh, I'm not really that good of a cook so I save it for special occasions so that the kitchen doesn't become a hazardous zone.

[beautyrest]

If you are sure, then I shall be sure to do such a thing.

Well, if there is a dish you wish to try, I can attempt it, if you would like?

[arf]

Huh!? Ah, no way, that's be embarrassing, having a girl cook just for me...!? Hehehe, you're going to make me think you're sweet on me, Aurora-chan!

Kidding!

(Unless?)

[beautyrest]

Should people not be sweet on their friends?

[Sorry, Taichi, she has absolutely no idea what you are trying to imply.]

I am not sure I understand what is so embarrassing?

[arf]

You can be sweet two your friends, but not on your friends!
Being sweet on means like (╯3╰): (˘ ³˘)♥

[beautyrest]

I... do not understand these symbols. (╯3╰): (˘ ³˘)♥?

[arf]

Imagine them like faces. The () is the outside of the head. So then you've got someone with closed eyes and smoochy lips, then the heart coming out is like blowing a kiss!
I made a typo and put a colon in, ignore it!

[beautyrest]

OH! Oh, yes I see! Yes, I can see the little faces now. How wonderfully clever! But is it inappropriate to kiss your friends on their brow or cheeks as signs of affection?

I have given many a dear friend such a gesture. In my home, we constantly displayed our affection with kisses and hugs and even dancing. [Aurora lived in a very loving, affectionate household where gestures of affection were freely given and received.]

[arf]

In some places! I think in some countries they do it normally... where I'm from we're not even supposed to use names without suffixes unless we're really close with someone. Physically and emotionally respectfully distant!

[beautyrest]

I do not think I would do well there, then. I am afraid I'm quite prone to adorning the cheeks of my loved ones with kisses.

[arf]

Loved ones is ok! Like, family or dating, but I think if I missed a friend the message boards and my boyfriend would blow up...

Anyway!! The point is you're not sweet on me, right?

[beautyrest]

Taichi, my dear, you are an attractive gentleman, but I assure you, I am not attracted TO you.

Or "sweet on you" as you phrase it.

[arf]

Right exactly!
But it'll be confusing to people if you cheek smooch me, you know? :O
Hikaru wouldn't like it even if he knew it was platonic I bet!

[beautyrest]

I am afraid I do not know, however, if it is something that causes discomfort, I shall not kiss your cheeks. [She doesn't get it but she's not going to insist upon it if it's something that upsets Taichi or Hikaru.]

Are hugs alright?

[arf]

[ Taichi is in big trouble if hugs aren't, but Hikaru hasn't given him any indication so. ]

Hugs are great!

[beautyrest]

Then hugs you shall have.
