You'd better! I'm not letting you leave without some kind of experience, Mark-kun! You and Lessing-san feel as old as Sanji-kun looks, but I know you're young like the rest of us!

[ with a point!!! of her spoon!!! before she's downing her waffle cone and moving onto a plate of W*ddle D*e pancakes. ]

So you've gotta know the thrills and chills of romance. Of intimacy. Of being so close to someone, and not being able to do a thing about it! It's essential!

[ He laughs, perking up as he goes for his own waffle cone. It really... kinda does feel like he's aged a lot in just the past couple of months. ]

Okay, okay! [ It's said fondly, like hey! He gets it! But also she has a point, and he will absolutely continue to listen. ] I'll have an experience. I'll feel that way! I mean, hopefully it's all just a good feeling, but I'm going to do my best. Really!

Oh, it'll be painful, but that's just how love is. Roses have thorns and all that jazz.

[ nothing beautiful comes without pain. probably. except these delicious desserts which are perfect and could never hurt someone a day in their life. ]

You just can't let it keep you down. You're always gonna stumble and maybe scrape a knee or two, it's just a matter of getting back up again. How're you supposed to look ahead when the ground's all you see, right?

[ He pokes away at his parfait remnants with a spoon. But he doesn't want it to be painful, he's already had that...

Looks back up as Anna gives her pep talk. ]

I— I mean, that does make sense. I think. [ Takes a bite, thinking it over. ] That's... actually kind of one of the reasons I'm here? I was down before, and I guess this is kind of one way of me picking myself back up.

[ she's soooo wise ]
