No good, they don't have... How does this even work? I'll stay away from it for now...

[Rummaging noises come from the journal, numerous but careful. It sounds like someone is exploring the item shop.]

I apologize for bothering everyone, but could anyone recommend objects that are helpful to a household? Specifically, objects that are necessary for a new arrival or that can keep the house organized and clean. I'm not familiar with most of the products I find here, and I'd rather not bring anything that is useless or dangerous home. I'd be most thankful for your help.

[He falls quiet, and for a few moments only the sounds of items being moved can be heard. It appears his message is over, but-]

Also, Ceodore. What blade are you currently using?

[With that, his post is truly over.]

[In his defense (which he'll never utter on his own behalf), he was under the effects of a 'love ramped up' experiment at the time. And the proposal was the least of the results of it.]

I don't know...

[The very thought is too depressing to dwell on enough to come up with any sort of reasonable decision.]

[That's really the sort of thing he should explain, otherwise Cecil will get the wrong idea.]

...You'll need to think about it, before you ask her. It would be unfair to request an answer when you have none to give. Think of the possible outcomes, decide how you would react to them, and prepare an explanation for your decisions. Listen to her own decisiond, and try to compromise if your goals are different. As long as the two of you think it through, you should be fine.

[And he really, really wants you both to be fine.]

[Thinking things through. Something he's really bad at. And Selphie's not much better than he with being impulsive. But it's obvious he's taking it all in, really thinking over what's being said and he nods a little. It's one of those subjects they just don't touch because it's easier not to.]

The longer you wait, the harder it'll be, Ceodore. You can take your time thinking; in fact, you have to take your time thinking. But once you've reached your answer, if you hesitate too long, you might lose your chance forever. This world is not kind to the souls who meet here. So, when you'll be ready... Don't hesitate, alright?

[He doesn't want to the two of them to be torn apart by an abrupt departure, without having the chance to talk. He knows it'd break the other's heart.]

[He nods, serious as can be.]

I won't.

If you say so, I suppose I have no reason to worry.

[He smiles at Ceodore, but it quickly turns into a small frown.]

Oh dear. I'm afraid the pizza has gone cold.

That's okay. It's just as good that way.

[Totally grabbing some now. Thanks for the reminder that it's time to refuel the bottomless pit.]

Are you sure? I can try to warm it up again if you wish.

[...With the microwave, of course! :D]

Uh, well sure if you want.

[Since Rydia's not around to enforce the microwave ban...]

It won't take very long.

[He takes the pizza and saunters off toward the microwave. Oh dear.

...The good news is, the microwave does not blow up or find itself otherwise damaged. The bad news is, by the time he's done with it, that pizza is going to be wayyyyy overcooked.]

[Rydia walks into the kitchen around this time, wrinkling her nose.]

Okay, what's burning? Did we kill another one?

[Cecil just pokes that poor pizza with a fork a few times.]

...The microwave looks perfectly fine, from what I can tell.

Can't say the same for the pizza...

[Which Ceodore will just eat anyway.]

Ceodore....

[Yes, Rydia's giving you that 'how can you eat that' look again.]

You weren't supposed to leave it in that long. It's not like cooking over the stove or in the oven.

...I think I can see that, now. How can I tell how much time is needed?

[He just stares at Ceodore, too. How does he manage to eat it? It stopped looking edible five minutes ago!]

Huh? What?

[It's food. He's a teen boy. What's the big mystery?]

[It's not food according to anyone with tastebuds, according to Rydia. She just shakes her head.]

There should have been instructions on the side of the box. Usually, it doesn't need more than a few minutes.

[Cecil is now seriously starting to wonder what Lunarian blood does to one's metabolism or stomach.]

I put it there for ten minutes. That seemed a short enough time to me.

[Crunch crunch crunch. Not as good as when it's fresh and correct, but growing guy's gotta eat. The talk about how to tame the magic cooking box isn't of much interest, but pawing through the rest of the food for the cookies is.]
