[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.

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.
