[Richard is up early this morning, out and about before most of the rest of the household is even awake. He's not about to let his odd sensitivity to any sort of wind stop him from getting things done-- instead, he simply bundles himself up until he looks more like a walking pile of coats and scarves than anything else before making his way in to the center of town for a shopping trip. Of course, the downside of said bundle of outer layers is that it's a bit hard for him to see, meaning that he might occasionally stumble into people or objects before he even realizes it...
His first stop is the grocery store, where he can be found consulting a list and selecting ingredients. Okay, maybe making a black forest cake is a bit ambitious on his end, but he wants to give it a shot anyway. It SOUNDS delicious, if nothing else.
Then he heads to the item store to grab a few more things, even though he'd already picked out his main present some time ago. Perhaps a new toy for Tiger Festival as well...
Of course, then he realizes that his recipe calls for cherry liqueur, which requires a stop by Good Spirits to pick some of that up.
Finally, he heads back home to House 28, where housemates will find him in the kitchen baking something that smells very delicious and very chocolatey. The end result may be a little lopsided and the frosting job definitely leaves something to be desired (maybe he should've whipped that whipped cream a bit more, it seems a little runny), but at least it smells good?]

Well...well if you insist.
[action]
There. Nothing to worry about.
[action]
[It isn't her norm but Richard always spooks this attitude out of her for some reason.]
[action]
You needn't apologize for that. I wasn't doing anything that would suffer from a small interruption.
[action]
[He also moderates her need to feel superior, and it's terribly unsettling.]
[action]
[Rue has been curt as long as he's known her, yes, but there's something about the way she's acting right now that seems a bit... off somehow.]
[action]
[If so, let's see how friendly and kind it makes him feel when he does.]
[action]
Many times during this time of year. I seem to have been blessed with an immune system that ceases to work properly in the winter.
[action]
All her venomous disdain evaporates then, too.]
Then I shouldn't have to explain any further.

[That sounds wonderful. She's thirsty anyway and half the food she passed sounded stomach-turning.]
[action]
Supposedly it helps clear out your nose and throat somehow.
[action]
[It's the first useful thing she's heard. Granted, she hasn't asked or told anyone else.]
