Maki #831: Too Cute to Bear

Player

Whoa, it's a cake stand!

Maki

There's no need to shout about it.

Player

Ahaha, sorry. I got a bit carried away.

Maki

Well, I suppose I get that… Now, let's enjoy our afternoon tea.

Player

Let's do it! But I have to say, there's so much choice that I don't know where to begin….

Maki

I've heard it's customary to start at the bottom of the cake stand and work your way up.

Player

I see. Basically, you leave the cakes on top for last.

Maki

That's right. But you don't absolutely have to follow that etiquette.

Maki

It's not like you can't have a cake and then eat a sandwich. I'm thinking of starting off with a cake, actually.

Player

But doesn't that go against the afternoon tea etiquette?

Maki

There is an etiquette, but you don't want worrying about that to stop you from enjoying it now, do you?

Maki

Etiquette is important, but you should just eat what you want. What's most important about eating is enjoying it.

Option 1: “So, the biggest rule is that you enjoy it, right?”

Player

I see. So, the biggest rule is that you enjoy it, right?

Maki

That's right. Now, let's dig in.

Option 2: “Then I want to start with something you recommend.”

Player

All right. Then I want to start with something you recommend. What would you go with first?

Maki

I think I would start with a scone. They're great with lots of cream loaded on them.

Player

Sounds good! Then I'll go for the scone first. Get that cream on there and… Oh, yummy!

Player

I guess I'll try this cake nest.

Maki

Maybe I'll have this cake over here.

Maki

Oh…

Player

What's wrong?

Maki

This cake is shaped like a bunny. It's so cute… It…It'd be a shame if I ate it.

Maki

I know, I'll give it to you. Here you go.

Player

Huh, why?!

Maki

It'd be a shame if I ate it, but I wouldn't mind if you did.

Player

In that case then, here. I'll give you my cake.

Maki

What?

Player

Because I want to eat with you. C'mon, let's dig in together.

Maki

But the cake you gave me looks like a bunny too, so now I've just got the same problem I started with!

Maki

Maybe I could just have a nibble on the ear…
