No. Absolutely not. We will be stuck cleaning sugar off every surface in the house.

[atypical]

I won't make that much of a mess! there are tutorials online, I just need to cook sugar in a pan that you're not too attached to, and I bet the rest is easy!!

[quietroom]

The last time you said something was easy, we ended up replacing the rugs in the living room and the hall.

[atypical]

Lan Zhan, you told me you had been wanting to replace them anyways...

[quietroom]

Ah. The colors were not suitable for our furniture. But I could have waited.

[atypical]

feng shui to the rescue, huh?

what if we remove all of the precious items in the kitchen and I promise to only try making candy under supervision?

[quietroom]

That is acceptable. Under supervision.

[atypical]

yes! what colors should we make, Lan Zhan? which flavor is your favorite??

[quietroom]

Perhaps try the traditional recipe first, then look at other flavors and colors.

[atypical]

my voice of reason, as always. very well, Lan Zhan, we'll try it with plain sugar first. I'm sure it'll still be delicious and fun! we can pull the strands together, imagine the romance~

[quietroom]

Yes, pulling spun sugar strands is romantic.

[atypical]

is that sarcasm I read? have you never watched Ghost?!

[quietroom]

Ghost?

[atypical]

you know, the movie! with Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore

[quietroom]

I am unfamiliar.

[atypical]

Lan Zhan, we should watch it! you'll never look at pottery the same way again 哈哈哈

[quietroom]

have no desire to change my views on pottery.

[atypical]

it's a joke, babe. I just mean that there's a very emotional part of the movie that involves pottery! and we can recreate it with the dragon's beard

[quietroom]

We can watch. I will reserve judgment on recreating the scene after watching.

[atypical]

that works for me! we can have a romantic movie marathon and make popcorn and throw kernels at the screen when the couples get too mushy

[quietroom]

We do not throw food in our house, Wei Ying.

[atypical]

come on, Lan Zhan, let's live a little! I'll pick it up... probably...

[quietroom]

And the vaccum will mysteriously find every kernel you threw. Double, probably.

[atypical]

that's what the vacuum is for! you're going to starve it if you don't let me throw some food now and then. besides, popcorn isn't sticky or melty!

[quietroom]

It would not starve? It is not a living creature.

If you throw popcorn, you can vacuum the living room yourself.
