It's only worth trying if you actually want to learn.
[ Kara actually isn't mad at her for that, but he's questioning whether she really wants to learn, or if it's just some kind of game to her.
...And yeah, he is a little annoyed at being forced into it, but. Frankly it's amazing he's gone this long without a lot of people forcing him to go along with their ideas. ]
Learning how to cook will still feed someone who didn't really want to learn, right?
[ Although in fairness to him, that same logic of hers does not carry over well to learning swords??? And also he's correct in assuming she's not very passionate about this. But! She does want to learn! ]
[ just one important note there. otherwise, no complaints.
but now that the onions are cooking - kara carefully removes them like the book says, and pours the wine akane measured into the pot instead. then he'll fetch the cheese, the grater, and set them in front of her. ]
We need... [ let him double-check, he doesn't know these measurements that well so he's trusting her with this. ] ...a cup.
[ well she at least seems to be enthusiastic, which is... good? probably? he doesn't know, but mitsutada would probably appreciate it.
anyway it looks like they've gotta wait for the wine to evaporate, so. now that everything's measured out, he doesn't offer any further instructions or conversation. sorry akane, he's bad at talking. ]
the usual response is, of course, that ookurikara isn't here to make friends. and frankly? he's not. but shess keeps getting on his case about this, so he's... trying. sort of. so. ]
Corrupted people aren't in control of themselves, so it's almost like... What we know about people barely matters. [ Just in terms of solving mysteries, she means. She still doesn't really buy that bonds with others is going to actually do any substantial good on its own. ]

It's more about sharing information, I think. They're more likely to tell you something important with you if they trust you.
no subject
Date: 2019-06-25 05:50 pm (UTC)Has anyone told you anything important? [ She's not asking what, if so, but just--since he's not doing great socially, apparently. ]
