#im rolling with it

Dealing with Rhai'li could be difficult even at the best of times. Trying to convince him to try something out of his comfort zone was no the best of times.

“I promise you, it’s better than you think,” Toshiya tried.

Rhai'li looked up at him with big, sad eyes. “But it’s green.”

“Yes, but that doesn’t make it bad. It’s been blanched and seasoned and it really isn’t as bad as you keep saying it will be.”

“Or maybe he’ll keel over and die on the spot,” Kuroji said from the doorway to the kitchen and dining area.

Toshiya rubbed a hand over his eyes. “You’re not helping.”

“Well, either he doesn’t eat it and therefore doesn’t get dessert - in that case, more for me,” the big Xaela explained. “Or he does eat it and dies on the spot - in that case, more for me.” Kuroji smirked. “It’s a win-win.”

Toshiya full-on facepalmed while Rhai'li whined and dramatically fell backward onto the tatami. When one thought of there being a toddler in the house, they didn’t think it would be an easily-antagonized teenage miqo'te.
