Of course!

[ 6O closed the tool shed she'd been packing things into, patting at her knees to dust them off and hurriedly heading to the side of the house her bedroom was one, pointing out the plot that had been made right by the window, her bed visible behind the window... ]

That way it's there for me to look at any time I go to sleep, or wake up!

[Trotting along behind, Lys follows the line of 6O's finger, feeling a wide and slightly foolish smile spread dreamily across her face.]

Aha.....a real place of honor, huh?

[And it's stupid, illogical, but seeing her small and unworthy gift treated with such care, not just tended to but planted in such a significant spot, it makes her feel....special. Wanted, important. Swept along on the warm tide of that feeling, she leans in and brushes a chaste kiss against 6O's temple before she can think to stop herself.]

Thanks.

[...Ah, shit. Was that inappropriate? Unwanted? A huge mistake?

Face flushing with heat, Lys quickly pulls away and holds up her basket like a shield, hiding behind it as her mouth babbles on and her eyes look at everything except 6O's face.]

A-Anyway! Here's the bread I promised! Please have some!

[ 6O giggled and blushed against the kiss, happy to have it. Lys' affection had moved past the stage of feeling foreign or somehow undeserved to her. Maybe it felt weird to think of her as a girlfriend on an island that was literally fueled by sexual energy, but still, she'd... never turn her away, or feel like it was out of place.

It felt too good not to. She wanted to indulge in it.

She took the basket with another laugh. ]

I'll be happy to. Though I feel I should point out that YoRHa Androids don't need to consume food for energy. For us, it's about the experience of eating, and the sensation of flavor and texture! So I can't wait to experience bread that someone like you has made...

...the experience of eating?

[Grateful not to be teased, somehow feeling no shame in the wake of that gentle laughter, Lys rubs the back of her neck and relaxes by turns. Manages to smile through her blush and ignores the way her heart still beats too fast in her chest, thumping giddily against her rib cage.]

That's honestly not too different from regular humans. Taste and texture are a huge part of it.....style, too. The way a dish is plated, or a dessert decorated.... presentation, you know?

[If she's not quite including herself in that categorical grouping, it's less because "wah wah I'm a monster" and more because Lys knows exactly how few her limits are when it comes to what food she'll balk at. But the bread she's brought is at least fresh and soft, still warm from the oven; a homemade loaf of irregular shape cut into neat slices, darkly flavorful and very filling.]

[ 6O tried a piece of it, a small bite at first, and already she was nearly overwhelmed by how much more it was compared to replicated bread on the Bunker. How warm it felt, how its flavored filled her nose as she bit, scent and taste working together in symphony.

She chomped another mouth full and let out a delighted little squeal. Obviously, she was happy with Lys' results. ]

[Smiling more easily now, showing a little more confidence, Lys gently brushes a few stray crumbs from the corner of 6O's mouth.]

Good?

[She knows it is, can read the pleasure on 6O's face more clearly than any book. But it's something to say, and more than that....she wants to hear 6O say it, too.]

[ 6O nodded, managing a giggle once she'd swallowed. ]

It's great! Way more flavorful than anything I had before! The replicated bread of the Bunker was really bland...

Really? That's a shame. Especially since you guys only eat for the sake of it......

[If Lys was starving—or, let's be honest, even if she wasn't starving—she wouldn't pass up food just because it lacked flavor. But with the hunger factor removed, didn't taste become twice as important?

As she mulls that over, Lys decides, for no reason she can name or even recognize, to impulsively press her luck just a little further. Reaching up as though to brush away more breadcrumbs, she instead gently cups 6O's face, holding the android in place with a light touch. Her voice is remarkably steady when she continues speaking, like everything was normal. Like she wants it to be normal, this tiny piece of domesticity and warmth.]

You said you wanted to grow strawberries, right? I could make them into a nice jam once they've grown and gotten ripe.....that'd make it even more flavorful.

I'd love that!

[ 6O practically bounced. She'd been leaning into Lys' touch just prior to that, not minding at all considering they'd already crossed so many other barriers of intimacy. Which was probably why she didn't mind wrapping her arms about Lys at all, and more fully nuzzling against her. ]

Oh, I can't wait! We could try them with all kinds of breads! And other fruits, too! A-and maybe there's a way to obtain some cheese here, too! And wine!

[Smothering her quiet surprise at being embraced, Lys returns the hold, toying gently with the zippers on 6O's uniform.]

Mm, I know how to make cheese. That's easy enough. [Taking heart in the fact that she hasn't been rejected or rebuffed yet, mentally sidestepping around the fact that she cares at all, she presses a second chaste kiss to 6O's temple....and then one against her forehead.] We'd have to get the wine from the island 'bots, though. Sorry.

[God forbid there's something that Lys can't cook or make herself, righ?]

[ Each kiss made her feel a fluttering within... a purely synthesized reaction, sure, but one that for her was just as real as anyone else's might be. She wanted more of it, to just... let herself be surrounded by Lys' affection. ]

It sounds like a date, either way~!

A date....

[Thinking about it like that, even in a hazy sort of way that only skimmed the surface, it made a light and airy feeling expand inside her chest. Sent a tingle of heat down her spine like the slow drag of a sensual fingertip. But Lys doesn't want to think about it any deeper than that—as though contemplation risked destruction. So she won't. 6O is so much more interesting anyway, so strangely willing to let herself be held and nuzzled as Lys mulls that response over.]

....yeah, a date. We'll have a really nice time together!

[Unless she dies to a monster in the woods first, of course, but that would just be silly. Humming a bit, she leans back but doesn't pull away completely, head tilting in honest curiosity as she glances down into 6O's face.]

Can YoRHa units get drunk from wine, though? Not that I'd try to get you drunk, but since you guys only eat and drink for the flavor.....I guess there's a lot I still don't know.

We can't be intoxicated by the same means as humans, no, since we don't really have chemical responses in that sense. [ 6O nodded. ]

But I also can't think of an instance of an android drinking alcohol, so who actually knows, right?

[ Stranger things have happened. Like when they learned what happened to androids when they ate mackerels. ]

[Maybe she doesn't have the firmest grasp on what "chemical responses" mean, but she doesn't need to in order to follow along. Lys nods as well.]

Right....we'll be careful. And I'll keep an eye on you, just in case.

[A lopsided wink. Then she laughs, soft and self-conscious, gently disentangling herself to stand a pace apart.]

But, it's just wine. It's supposed to be pretty mild stuff, not like the rotgut you—that humans can make in their basement.

[ 6O pondered for a second, humming. ]

But... isn't wine ages in basements? Cellars, at least?

[ This is what happens when you only have relative knowledge of humanity in general. ]

No, you're right! People do keep wine in their cellars to age it, but that takes months or even years. Or so I hear, anyway. My country isn't the best place for growing grapes.

[Pinching off a morsel of bread from one of the slices in the basket, Lys nibbles it thoughtfully, hungry but not hungry. If she's truly hungry for anything right now, it's company and conversation.]

But you can brew rotgut in a week. The one time I snuck a taste, it felt like half my tastebuds died.....I still remember it.
