[ After cleaning, he sat to the chair right of Builderfan, restoring his face to how it usually is. ]
DID Y0U HAVE FUN, AT LEAST?
it's been a while since i ate. so i'd say...
*...it's also been a while since she drank. just enough time had passed to allow for a funny feeling to start blooming in her temples.*
....i dunno actually. not really??
[ Then, he began preparing to make a dish. He was still rushed, but calmer now. ]
I UNDERSTAND. AND I D0 N0T BLAME Y0U. F0R N0W, TAKE IT EASY.
HUNGRY?

*sitting at her usual spot at their table, kicking her feet absentmindedly. working on finishing off the water while yapping.*

[ Nodding after the promise, he continued to the kitchen with Builderfan. Once there, H3LP3R prepared some snacks and bloxy colas, putting them on the table. ]
[ BFan was left to fend for herself in the meantime. ]
