Hey now, don't sell yourself short. You also play the harp.

You're not so bad in a scuffle. For a merchling.

[the_merchling]

Don't make fun of me. It's a hard instrument to play.

Did you have to add that disclaimer? I'm better at demo than you are.

[materialnik]

I'm not making fun of you. I'm reminding you of your many talents.

Well that's a given, but I do so enjoy calling you that. It's more effective for getting you attention than 'Wylan.'

[the_merchling]

No one's ever done that before.

[No one's ever cared.]

Wylan's my name though. Did you want me to go around calling you something other than Jesper?

[materialnik]

What, that you can draw and play three instruments and create a flashbomb? Disappointing.

And we're onto pet names now?

[the_merchling]

Why are you being so nice to me? I didn't think you even liked me.

Merchling's not even a pet name. It's a -- a thing. It's not specific to me. You've probably called other people that before.

[materialnik]

Well, you did save my life. And I'm very overtly flirting.

But I've never called anyone merchling so affectionately.

[the_merchling]

You're not flirting with me.

Are you? You can't be.

And I've never called anyone Jesper period. I like your name.

[materialnik]

Merchling, how many times have I said you were cute when you were smart?

[the_merchling]

[Flustered. Such flailing.]

I thought it was just a thing to say. I thought you'd been appointed the person out of everyone to be nice to me. You or Nina.

[materialnik]

Wylan, if I don't like you, you'll know it.

[the_merchling]

And if I don't like you --

Well, you probably won't care.

[materialnik]

I'd care.

[the_merchling]

Why?

[materialnik]

Because I'd miss the sight of those clever hands of yours.

[the_merchling]

Just my hands?

[materialnik]

And the rest.

I'm not sure I trust this city, I haven't seen a single pancake house.

[the_merchling]

You could always make your own pancakes, Jesper. I'd help you. Make sure you didn't burn anything down.

[materialnik]

I don't have a poffertje pan.

Did your father actually allow cooking lessons? Doesn't the mercher class frown upon manual labor?

[the_merchling]

You could buy one, Jesper. Or steal one. Whichever's easier for you.

I could have learned to cook on my own, you know. My father didn't run my life.

[materialnik]

Are you calling me a thief now? My honor would be wounded, if I had much to spare.

Have you?

[the_merchling]

I'm giving you options.

No. But it can't be that hard. I'd still help you even if I can't cook. You'll just have to read everything.

[materialnik]

[Huh. Lip biting. That's cute.]

Why would I need to do that?

[the_merchling]

[Mumbles. Barely audible.]

Because I can't.

[materialnik]

You can't? Why's that?
