still, it's clear from his........... technique, or lack of it, that he is not a consummate chef, and could probably burn this sandwich if he really put his mind to it. he slaps the jam on, thick and unadorned, with all the abandonment of a young child making food when their parents are out of the house and they aren't allowed to touch the stove yet. all the same, two jam sandwiches on white bread do emerge.
they are not cut. they are just. sandwiches.
Luke carries them over, placing one in front of the man with a flourish it does NOT deserve.]
[if luke had burned the sandwich, shang qinghua would have been truly impressed.
these sandwiches are so massive that he doesn't dare reach out to touch them yet. who knew slabs of white bread with copious amounts of jam could be so intimidating?]
[if nothing else, he can respect the passion luke has for this sandwich as he reaches out. he takes a bite, and it's a struggle not to drip jam everywhere.]
[he shakes his head, checking the rest of the sandwich to make sure the jam isn't oozing out from one side. what a diverse morsel . . . ]
To begin with, I don't eat as often as mortals do. Lately, before arriving at this temple, I've been carrying a bag of melon seeds and little more for sustenance.
[he follows the dripping jam with his eyes. please . . . not the floor.]
Peddling Qian Cao Peak's melon seeds has been a side business of my An Ding Peak in recent years. They're cooked red on the outside and golden yellow inside, and taste quite good.

Then, I will try this sandwich with just jam . . .

So this is a sandwich . . .

[he pats his own bad boy, which can hold so many jam.]
What are you waiting for? Try it!
no subject
. . . It's sweet!

...Have you seriously never had one before?

The jam drips slowly out of the bread.]
...Back up.
Melon seeds?

slowly, oozingly
on to the floor.]
What do you mean, "melon seeds"? You can't eat melon seeds!
no subject
You can. In fact, they're perfectly healthy for you.
[then he crouches down to wipe off some of that jam.]
I'm just going to clean this up.
no subject
No, you're supposed to spit them--
--Huh? What are you doing?
[WHY ARE YOU UNDER THE TABLE NOW]
no subject
Ah, I'm only wiping away the excess jam that dripped onto the floor from the table. Staining the floor of a great god wouldn't be good.
[even if he has to get down on his knees and scrub like a maid, he must.]
no subject
naturally, it is dropping jam elsewhere, too.]
We can clean it up in a minute!
no subject
with extraordinary patience, he turns around to clean that spot, too.]
Young man, there's no shame in eating what you want, where you want. But, at this rate, there won't be any jam left for you.
[please check your sandwich.]
no subject
[he sweeps the sandwich back over to his plate, and starts voraciously devouring it.
he could've just added more jam?
but don't worry about it.]
