[ you worry too much, from the man who causes 99% of those worries!! 🥺 ]
I suppose that's true... just make sure you keep an eye on it, okay? You take such great care to try new things and I would hate for Madarame to get the wrong idea!
Well, no, that's not true. Not everyone gets a dish handmade by the Commissioner himself, heh.
I'm not going to be able to do what you asked if you keep writing to me in the middle of things, you know.
[ As though he hadn't been the instigator.
(As though he isn't always the instigator.) ]
I don't see what's so mischievous about anything I've said or done so far. If one of us has been up to mischief, I'd say it's you. How closely have you been paying attention all these years that you can know me so well, hm?
[ Not to imply that he dislikes being so well known—not when it's Thoma. Even if it is so unfair that he can say one small, ridiculous thing and genuinely pique Ayato's interest. ]

Then I'll be especially diligent. You worry too much, Thoma.
I'm afraid not. It doesn't count as a gift from me if I'm not the one making it, now does it?

Of course. Where else would my eyes be if you're not here to look at instead?
[ Because Thoma isn't going through enough yet... Ayato throws in a little casual flirtation into the mix. ]
But not everyone is as hard working as he is. It's really the least I can do to take on a small challenge to properly thank him for his efforts.

Ayato.
[ how dare you add teasing on top of this! 😤 ]
You're so lucky I can read your heart even through your mischief. If you succeed in not burning the sugar, I may even have a little surprise for you.
[ he would have a surprise for Ayato even if he burnt the sugar, but. this way it feels more authoritative! ]
Hint: it's a sugary drink.

Oh?
Do I get only the one hint?
