Or guy.

Or person.

Or Messmer's snake.

[ Yeah, Maya can't put her through it. But she has wrangled enough froyo in her time to make it believe, so with the aid of a spoon to redistribute some things, Maya reemerges with a chocolate-vanilla swirl with a bit of raspberry frozen yogurt near the top. And, so proudly-- ]

Same here!

[ It's even layered like a parfait! But she'll offer it back to Furina. ]

[enscene]

[The pop of color (and fruit flavor) is much appreciated. Furina squeals upon receiving her trade-off froyo.]

You truly have a vision! I can't wait to share our show-stopping creations together.

[Once they've gotten their (probably extremely expensive due to weighing a billion pounds) bowls of dessert comped by the production, they can go sit and watch the other people walking by.]

So... have you used your investigative wiles to get any of our fellow contestants to open up to you? [As long as she's not the one getting her tender bits exposed, Furina is very curious about Maya's work, and a little too bold in asking after it.]

[scooptimistic]

I sure have!

[ BRIGHTLY. These bowls really do weigh a ton. ]

Makoto's more of an academic than an athlete and Odile likes cheese and Messmer really cares about his snakes--

[ She's full of stuff. ]

[enscene]

[Wow! Full of stuff, indeed.]

I knew Miss Odile didn't care for sweets when she turned down that spectacular welcome cake, but I had no idea she was such a cheese lover!

[Five seconds talking to Mesmer about the Salon Solitaire had definitely convinced Furina that he cared about his snakes, even if he couched them as merely an extension of himself, and Edamura's particularity about coffee did make him seem quite cerebral...]

As expected, people open their hearts pretty readily to you, don't they?

[scooptimistic]

I don't know if that's entirely true. With Makoto and Aventurine, we had to make it into a method of competition and deals. You just have to learn what people will be willing to share, and what that will require. They're more likely to open up if you show you're willing to do the same.

[ Whether you really want to or not. ]
