I don't know. People back home freak out about stuff like this. [ Wu mumbles that into his shoulder, holding on tight.
People freak out, especially the man who two days ago told you he couldn't date you because you're also a man. Even if it was a hallucination or a dream, Mako told him that, to his face.
Slowly, he pulls back enough to look at Mako. ] I guess I give good advice. I do feel better.
[ Though that is a very fair worry, and Mako still doesn't know the words for all of the confusion he's gone through, all the uncertainty. But that's for another time. Or never. Deerington isn't the place to examine things like that, isn't the place for dates, he learned. There's too much at risk.
He feels oddly cold when Wu pulls away, lets his hands drop slowly until they're apart, and then offers a small smile. ] Let's, uh. Make a smoothie. Then we'll finish the cakes.
Yes. Yes, I suppose you are. [ Wu watches him for another moment before clapping his hands together ] Smoothie! Yes. I'm sure it'll be better than the one I attempted earlier. It was.... terrible.

[ But Mako, this time, is mostly smiling and not laughing at him, so that's something, right? ]

It was thick and gluey. I couldn't drink it.

[ He is Not Laughing, Wu, he promises. Nope. ]
Okay. Smoothies 101, come on. This is probably the most important cooking skill for you.
