[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?]

[He's not flustered. Nope. Not at all.]
[action]
[action]
[But, of course, Asbel being Asbel, he probably won't pick up on just how much.]
[action]
[action]
[Somehow Asbel always knows just what to say to make him feel better about things-- it's one of the qualities he's most grateful for in his friend.]
Would you like to help me by taste-testing it? There should still be some batter left on the mixing spoon there.
[action]
But then he decides that's stupid.]
Ahh... Okay. [GONNA EAT CAKE BATTER YEAH!]
[action]
Taste away, Asbel!]
[action]
[action]
[action]
Mmm... This is actually pretty good, Richard...
[action]
[And oh, does he look proud of himself right about now. If Asbel thinks it tastes good, then surely Isamu will agree with him.]
I made sure to follow the recipe exactly as it was written. I didn't want to risk experimenting with anything the first time I tried making it.

[Is he trolling, or is he being serious?]

[Okay, that look on Asbel's face makes Richard feel a little bad, but it's just so easy to tease him like this...]
[action]
[action]
We can all share it for dessert this evening.
[action]
Really? Are you sure Isamu won't mind?
[action]
[action]
[action]
[Which might've been what he was planning all along.]
