[Hah, he won, and so he settles down again, arms behind his head.]
You won't hurt me. You're my co-parent, and what's more, you're a nice person, you definitely won't unzip me.
[Which is just asking for it, really, and so, without missing a beat:]
And if you do now, I'm going to name our second child something really stupid, and then for the rest of the time you'll always have to say, Oh, Jean, do you want to go sailing on the FIS Seaduction?
I'm gonna go get paint tomorrow. Gold, for me, and now blue, for you.
[A beat, and then:]
That, and . . . I was talking to Kakyoin a while ago about getting to know people. When I first got here, I could tell you a ton about how he fought, but I didn't even know the guy's favorite food. So I like asking about stupid stuff like that.
[Another good thing to remember. Miles Davis, baked scallops, mushrooms and a kind of pasta he's definitely going to have to look up.]
I dunno if you're allowed to have three favorites, Bruno, that's kind of cheating.
[But if they're going to play that game:]
Pot au fe, for me, if we're talking supper-- I've made it here before, it's that one that's kind of like carrots and potatoes and beef. Or profiteroles, if we're talking dessert.
[He almost points out that he's Italian, which gives him the full right to have three favorites, but he refrains from it this time. If Polnareff decides to comment that he's too particular on his coffee later though...]
[And with the exception of Silver Chariot, there's not too much about Polnareff's that particularly careful. Though it's not a criticism. If anything, Bruno's a little fond of it.]

I don't know, Jean, but that doesn't sound like my problem.

I could just zip your mouth shut instead.
no subject
[He rises up to his elbows, leveling Bruno with a particularly incredulous stare.]
You'd do that to yourself?
no subject
no subject
[The stare melts into something heartfelt. Imploring. Desperate. Don't do this to your new bro, Bruno.]
You know how I feel about zippers.

I'll never stop whining about it afterwards.
no subject
Assassins, Jean.
no subject
[Actually--]
'S how I won you over, too. Is that an Italian thing or a mafia thing?
no subject
no subject
[He snaps his fingers and points towards Bruno, as if he'd just made a particularly successful point.]
So you admit I've won you over.
no subject
Was that ever actually in question or a secret?
no subject
[Which is true, albeit something that holds a little more weight now with Bruno.]
I gotta fight to hear that Kakyoin likes me, so it's kind of a triumph when anyone</> says it.
no subject
no subject
[Just saying. But he's not actually all that sore over it, so instead:]
Oye. What's your favorite color?

[So Bruno doesn't think it's all that stupid.]

I dunno if you're allowed to have three favorites, Bruno, that's kind of cheating.

[Bruno shakes his head a little.]
I've never had much of a sweet tooth.
no subject
[Besides, even those without a sweet tooth (which is fairly unimaginable, but whatever) probably enjoy it.]
Once I figure out how to make them. Or Holly takes pity on me and makes them for me after I try and they explode on me, whichever.
no subject
Not as confident in the kitchen as you are building a boat?
no subject
[He gestures vaguely above his head.]
You think you did everything right and then you put it in and suddenly it all goes to shit and Christ only knows why.
no subject
Baking is very precise...
