Ooooh you're a saucy guy, aren't you~! Heehee should I get some chips or do you wanna put it on the cupcake?

[helluva_pilot]

[....istheponyflirtingwithhim

Just roll with it, Dameron.]

I've got a reputation. [He winks at her.] Ah... chips would be better. I don't mix my hot sauces and my desserts.

Though you know. There are some kinds of spices that are really good with some sweets, I think.

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Nah, she just likes alliteration and wordplay. She only flirts with stone statues. Gotta work on that game, Cheese Sandwich.]

Oh I know, right! There's this one store in Las Pegasus that covers some of their candy in chili powder! Sometimes I try making some myself, but there's not a HUGE demand so I save 'em for special occasions!

[helluva_pilot]

Okay, now you've got me all intrigued, and I want to try 'em. Can you even get that kind of stuff around here, though?

[spontaneouscombustion]

Oh, sure! The ship can make chili powder, and candy making's a piece of take! All you really need is water, sugar, and flavorings!

[helluva_pilot]

Oh, huh.

Uh... maybe you could show me some time? I haven't cooked in... forever. Not since I joined the New Republic Starfleet.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Oh my gosh, yes! Baking and cooking are the best, I was REALLY glad the ship has a full kitchen!

[helluva_pilot]

Yeah, last real kitchen I was in was back home at my dad's place.

So... how do you cook? [Is there a sort of circumspect way to point out someone doesn't have thumbs?]

[spontaneouscombustion]

Pretty well, if I do say so myself! I live and work at a bakery bake home!

[helluva_pilot]

[That isn't what he meant. Awkwardly, he wiggles his fingers.

Can you even ask someone why they don't have thumbs? Is that a thing?]

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Hey, she has a finger. It's just one, long, singular one and she walks on the nail.]

Aaaare your claws okay?

[helluva_pilot]

...these aren't claws. Claws are like... [He curls his fingers like claws.] grrrrrr. Sharp and stuff. Wookiees have claws. Humans don't. These are my fingers.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Huh, "fingers." I thought that was what you called the whole branchy bit. Spike just calls them claws!

[But yay, new words!]

[helluva_pilot]

Branchy... bit. [Bemusement becoming permanent.]

[spontaneouscombustion]

Branchy bit!

[Branchy biiiiit~]

[helluva_pilot]

[This is his look of complete incomprehension.]
