[YOU ARE A BUG NOT A CAT!!! it smells kinda like trail mix, a contrast of nutty and sweet]

[Sipping and...ooh, that's nice]

[darkroastbean]

[BE SOOTHED!! sipping his own and.........trying to catch his expression out the corner of his eye;;;]

So? What do you think?

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

..........I'll probably be able to keep it down.

[Still seems to be drinking away]

[darkroastbean]

[...!!!! just a goofy ass smile]

That so? A semivictory then. Next time I'll make a brew that you'll want to keep drinking.

...

Melon.

[darkroastbean]

,,,eh? Excuse me?

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

You wanted to know what I was looking for in the fridge, didn't you? Or is your memory going on top of your hearing?

[darkroastbean]

Huh? No, I mean--why melon? Do you just like it? It's kind of a mellow fruit. . .do you like it with coffee??

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

I never said I like it.

[Still sipping away at his coffee so it seems like a success]

[darkroastbean]

Then. . .what did you want them for?

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

I was going to eat it, of course.

[An obnoxiously loud sip just to be...well...obnoxious]

[darkroastbean]

But you just implied you didn't like them! So why? And savor it, don't chug it. . .!

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

I dislike it less than I dislike other things.
