Asugi: *sigh* Why do they always assume that?
Avatar: Asugi, what's wrong? You're muttering to yourself.
Asugi: Huh? Oh, Boss. It's nothing. OH! Wait! Hey, buuuddy!
Avatar: Um...yeah?
Asugi: Ya wanna go into town with yours truly? We'll have a grand old time, I promise!
Avatar: Why the sudden invite? Did you need to go shopping for something?
Asugi: No, no. I just heard that a new bakery opened up just outside town. They're said to have the most amazing cheesecakes in the land. And I've been looking for someone to go with me.
Avatar: Sounds fun, but... Asugi, why waste cheesecake on me? Sounds like a prime dating opportunity!
Asugi: Oh, cribbles. Here we go again. Why, oh why, did I expect anything different?
Avatar: Hm? Is something wrong?
Asugi: Whenever I invite someone to get sweets with me, they get the wrong idea. And when I tell them I don't want a date, they just think I'm being defensive. The worst part is when they get all twinkly eyed and I have to turn them down.
Avatar: So that's why you were grumbling to yourself.
Asugi: Yeah. I don't want any dates. I just want to enjoy some cheesecake and chat. Is that such a terrible thing?
Avatar: I suppose not.
Asugi: So I figured I should ask you. I thought of all people, you'd understand. Guess not.
Avatar: Haha. Sorry, thought I was helping. I'd love to go eat some cheesecake!
Asugi: Thanks! You're a real pal, Boss. I'll just grab my things, and we can go!
(Asugi leaves)
Avatar: Haha. Asugi sure loves his sweets...

Asugi: Ah! That really hit the spot. I haven't tasted something so good in ages. That cheesecake was a work of art! Right, Boss? And the presentation! Beautiful! I've never seen plating that impeccable before.
Avatar: That pie was pretty tasty too.
Asugi: Yes! The crust was flaky and flavorful, but not obtrusively so. And the raspberries... Not too tart, and not too sweet. A balance rarely achieved by even master bakers! It feels as though the gods crafted a divine culinary harmony for my tongue alone.
Avatar: Haha. That's an...interesting way of describing food, Asugi. I don't think I ever fully realized just how passionate you are about this stuff.
Asugi: I-I wouldn't say "passionate." I just like tasty things, is all!
Avatar: Haha! You're blushing! It's all right. I won't judge. I'm surprised you didn't become a chef, though.
Asugi: Eh, we can't all do what we're passionate about for a living. Some things are more important. Anyways, you need to learn to appreciate sweets more, friendo.
Avatar: I do? I thought I was appreciating them just fine!
Asugi: You kidding me, Boss? You spent more time picking out trinkets to bring back home than you did eating! You were rubbernecking like a regular country bumpkin, too. I'm surprised at you. What's with all this touristy stuff? Ain't that a bit below someone of your station?
Avatar: What about you? You were buying out every sweets shop and bakery we came across! Kind of looked like a country bumpkin yourself, if you ask me.
Asugi: Hey! It's not my fault. They didn't have places like that back in my Deeprealm.
Avatar: Haha. Trust me, I know the feeling. I grew up confined to a castle, remember?
Asugi: Fair enough. It's too bad they don't let you box up any of their cheesecake, though. It would have been nice to bring it back and share with everyone.
Avatar: Why don't we take them all there instead?
Asugi: That tiny place? We'd never fit! Oh, I know! I'll just make it myself.
Avatar: Make it yourself? How?!
Asugi: Oh, I've got my ways. Now that I've tasted it, I think I can whip something up. I'm going to need your help, though. I want to make sure that it's an exact replica.
Avatar: Sure! I'll do whatever I can!

Asugi: OK. I think we're done.
Avatar: You did it, Asugi! I don't know how you managed to pull it off, but you did. Every single treat, tart, cake, and cobbler from that bakery, re-created from scratch. Even the cheesecake!
Asugi: Oh, hop off. It's not that amazing.
Avatar: You got the tastes down perfectly... In fact, these might be a little better. Even I know this can't have possibly been easy. How did you do it?
Asugi: I have some connections that managed to get me a list of the bakery's ingredients. From there, it was just a matter of taste and patience to figure out the rest. But, of course, it'd be boring to just make copies, so I added a few of my own twists. Notice the lemon zest on that raspberry tart? That was ol' Asugi's doing.
Avatar: Mm. This really is a remarkable achievement, Asugi.
Asugi: Yep. But I hate to say I can't do this again. I don't want to steal their business. Ain't gonna let anyone call me a thief.
Avatar: That's very admirable of you. Now, let's grab everyone and have ourselves a party!
Asugi: Sounds good to me, Boss!
Avatar: Seems a shame, though... I don't know when I'll taste cheesecake this good again.
Asugi: Aw, don't make that face. I can make you tons of different sweets. You'll forget about this stuff in no time.
Avatar: Really?
Asugi: Sure! You're my sweets buddy now. You ever crave some, just ask. Course, you'll have to help out some. No such thing as free dessert.
Avatar: Haha. Thanks. I'm honored to be your sweets buddy. Maybe we can open a bakery together after the war?
Asugi: Hey now, don't get too crazy there. You're a prince, remember? And I'm a ninja. We've got duties to see to. Besides, can you imagine the figure we'd cut in a bakery?
Avatar: I can. I think it'd be great! A prince-ninja bakery! But...you're right. Duty first. Maybe we could do a bake sale every now and then though.
Asugi: Hey...that ain't a bad idea. I think I'm gonna hold you to that one, Boss.
Avatar: Good. I wouldn't have it any other way.
