That would probably be an individual choice rather than something we would all have to experience without choice, at least.

Attachments make the trauma and suffering harsher, but I guess it's impossible to not want to seek out companionship with others especially in a situation like this.

I guess it's a no win and the majority of us willingly signed up for this kind of thing so we can't blame anyone but ourselves in the end...?

I could have stayed on shore, but I wanted to know the truth. Or maybe I was looking for a way to escape the complacency of my former lifestyle.

I do not regret boarding the ship either time no matter how terrible it gets. It is better than living in ignorance, and I would also not be able to spend more time with you and the other Sirens.

... Well, I know for sure I don't regret spending more time with you. That does make it worth it.

I hope that means we can go on another date soon, though there is not much to do on this ship with the limited shops and areas open to us. Perhaps, I can make you a candlelit dinner on the top deck?

[ omg no one's done anything like that for him before, is Friday serious... ]

R-really?

Yes, really...unless you think it might be inedible. I will do my best. I followed all the baking recipes well enough thus far.

[ mumbles to himself ] If you're making it for me, I'll eat it even if it's dog shit.

[ puffs his cheeks a little bit. ] Come on, of course I wouldn't think that. I'm sure it'll be great.

All the more incentive to try, but at base line, it will be edible. I would never feed you anything raw or overly burnt. Do you have any simple favorite foods I can try?

Uhm... I really like falafel. I think that's considered simple.

I have never made or eaten that before. It is deep-fried chickpeas, correct?

Yeah. It's a staple in my family.

Alright, I will do my best and avoid setting fire to any part of the ship. What is your preferred side with them? Any sauces?

[ laughs a bit. ]

Uhm, I like tahini, hummus, and tzatziki, but they might be hard to get all the spices for on the ship so anything is fine.

I could potentially get ingredients for them, but they may require a few tasks to get them done. Most of them tend to involve hand-holding or touching of some sort.

It's really not a big deal. But I mean, I'll help you with the tasks of course.

I would appreciate that. How about a dessert afterwards? You need to have dessert.

I really love strawberries....! Do you know pavlova? It might be too hard to make...

—Ahh, actually we can do is style sherbet! It's really easy. You just smash fruit and sugar together in a blender then freeze it fog eating in cups!

Pavlova...it should not be too much of a challenge. It is mostly egg whites, correct? Granted, whisking it by hand might be a challenge, but I need to work out my arm muscles more anyway.

Mhm! I can help, too, I don't want you having to do it all by yourself...

If you really want to, I will not stop you. You have better forearms than I do.

[ He takes the excuse to brush his hands over one of them in evidence. ]

[ Sam reaches up to run his fingers up along the tip of one of Friday's ear wings in response. ]

[ His wings twitch under his fingers and fluff outwards as he tilts his head towards Sam. ]

Alright, it is a date. I will message you on a nice day when there are no performances or performance recovery, and we can work on everything together.

I like the sound of this, it'll be amazing~!

Alright. I will still try to include a surprise dish in there so you are not doing all the work for your own meal. And just to make you smile.

[ what a smooth talker. ]
