T'ryn laughed at the suggestion of removing his pants, completely missing any flirtatious meaning behind it. "I am much improved in getting them on and off though you should have seen the first few attempts. I was struggling so much I could have been mistaken for a fish out of water!" He didn't want to think about the added issues weight gain, even temporary from a good meal, would bring.
"A'tay is as curious as I am so it's not surprising that he wanted to try out spicy food and then learn to cook it. I'm actually really happy he's found something that sparks passion in him." Even better was that it could be done with a friend. T'ryn loved the woodworking his brother did but it was a very solitary activity and made it easier for A'tay to hide away and work on it alone.
Leaning his backside against the counter and crossing his legs at the ankles, T'ryn took a moment to consider the next flurry of questions and hopes. It was hard to think of anything and T'ryn chuckled again and shook his head in shame. "Unfortunately, I'm the one plagued with embarrassing stories. I'm having trouble thinking of even one for A'tay. He is superstitious, though. Ask him about the necklace he never seems to take off as a small example of that--though I guess that's more of a cute story than something like how he won't walk under ladders or tell his wishes because they won't come true. And growing up in a jungle with supplies we couldn't waste had us giving a lot of silly gifts made from nature so we're kind of frustrating to buy for because we're still not used to having more than is needed."
He thought about what else he could safely say that wouldn't upset A'tay and finally rattled off some mundane facts about him, ending with his Impression. "And did he tell you about the scars on his hand? They healed well so they aren't too visible now but just before Xyxyth hatched, another bronze ran up to him and gave his hand a chomp before dashing off. He was terrified he would lose feeling in it and not be able to wood work again. He sometimes still has issues with twitching that he might hide from embarrassment."
