[ ...oh.

Oh, no, Ange is rich??? But she's so... practical!

Well, Asami is practical, mostly, and she's also filthy rich—Mako just kind of figured he and Ange had a lot in common because of a shared variety of upbringing, and then here she goes, upending all of that, and also he just kind of insulted rich people but she's agreeing with him, so it can't be... that bad...

There is a long, long pause before his next message. ]

How do you feel about fritters?

[entreats]

Never heard of them.

But I am well ready to get started on an exciting new fritter adventure.

[ It's a little more playful than she'd usually be, because that sure was an obvious pause, and Ange can only imagine what went through Mako's head just now.

.. though it's not like she wants the other to feel bad, so she figures she ought to clarify things at least a little bit here. Just in case. She cares too much about Mako's feelings to not make sure she didn't just make him feel bad. ]

Also, don't worry. I think rich people are the worst. Nothing you could say about them could possibly ever personally insult me.

[ Thank every spirit in existence for Ange and her practical, understanding ways. Mako is still embarrassed, but—well, she gets it, of course she gets it! He should have faith in her! ]

I'm actually going to get Wu to shepherd you through that one. He loves Fritters. That's why Fritter is named what she is.

Some of you are pretty alright. I like you and Wu well enough. Asami's cool.

[entreats]

Wait.

Why are you sending Wu after me?

What kind of cruel and unusual punishment is it for you to send an extrovert social hitman after me, Mako?

[ At least he doesn't have to worry about the rich people thing for the moment.

.. even if it's in favour of this. ]

[arclightning]

I'm gonna need you to call him that to his face and see what he does.

I'll be there to supervise so he doesn't talk your ear off. Promise.

Anyway, you're dating the ultimate extrovert, you have to be used to this.

[entreats]

I'm totally desensitized to Ruby ever since she shoved me into a photobooth and refused to let me out until she got to take embarrassing photos together with me.

So that's different.

[arclightning]

Guess I'm desensitized to Wu after he dragged me with him to fancy rich people events for three years straight.

I'll chaperone. Promise.

[entreats]

Alright, I'll be counting on you then.

[ Her one introvert buffer in a sea of extroverts. ]

Good luck to you and Wu with everything. [ Because they'll probably need it while trying to prepare for the opening of something so big. ]

[arclightning]

Thanks, Ange. Good luck with the party. If you need to a break from people, you know where to find me. We'll probably be cleaning up for days.
