That is an understandable anxiety. Most of the time, I feel the same.

I suppose, then, it's a matter of no longer being afraid to potentially inconvenience someone.

I suppose so...

[A beat, and then--]

Perhaps... since we both often feel the same... we can help each other? Since, um... I know you would understand. And...! You can trust me to understand too.

[aw. . . how sweet. Sharon can't help but conceal another smile, because a request like that totally pings her internal Onee-san instincts]

Very well, then. Should I need assistance with any matter, I'll be certain to seek you out. And you can feel comfortable doing the same.

[a slight pause]

This does include assistance with matters of the heart, I hope you realize. ♥

I'm very relieved to hear that, Miss Sharon! I will be sure to do the same.

[A beat.

She tilts her head innocently, blinking.]

Matters of the heart...? How do you mean?

[OH NO HOW PURE]

You'll know what I mean when it happens to you, Miss Ange.

[A puzzled head tilt... huuuh...]

Has it happened to you, Miss Sharon?

[heehee]

Who can say?

Miss Sharon...

You are so mysterious.

[JUST SAYING.]

[another light bow, but Ange may get the feeling she is reveling in this]

Do you feel more confident with the knife now?

Um, yes, a little bit...! I will be sure to keep practicing later.

[For now, she carefully sets it aside, inspecting her chopped up strawberry.

DECENT??]

Thank you again for your help.

Of course, Miss Ange. Might I also ask what you're making?

[strawberries make for good partners for a good breakfast, but she can't just be having strawberries, right?]

Well... I am not particularly good in the kitchen, but I know I can make toast...!

[...so.

toast and strawberries]

[. . .]

May I make a suggestion?

Oh... yes, of course, Miss Sharon! What is it?

[:D?]

Spread cream cheese on your toast first, before you top it with strawberries. And a sprinkle of powdered sugar will go a very long way.

...?

[Ange will try this!!

... .. ... She takes a bite--and looks absolutely delighted after.

??!??]

Simple yet delightful, right?

[because Sharon was absolutely not about to start poor Ange out with something complex like FRENCH TOAST]

[bless u, sharon]

It truly is! [Another bite, which she contentedly savors.]

... Mmm... I have truly been missing out. What a delicious breakfast.

Once you've mastered your knife skills, I'll teach you how to make an even better toast treat.

[I was going to say "French toast" but there is no France in her world. what do they call it. EGG TOAST??]

[al asking the real mysteries of trails...]

Thank you, Miss Sharon! You are so very kind, sharing your skills and knowledge with me.

[WHAT DO THEY CALL REGIONAL FOODS NAMED AFTER THE REGION FROM WHICH THEY COME!!]

I'm happy to assist, Miss Ange. ♥ As a maid, it is my duty.

Um... that is still very kind, but to be honest...

I would be, um... well...

[she hesitates.]

Oh?

[waiting for her to finish. politely!]

[She fiddles with her own hands embarrassedly.]

... I would be happy if... you would do these things because you wanted to... and not because you are a maid.

[oh. . . no?? pure?????]

Heehee, don't worry, Miss Ange. Those two things are not mutually exclusive.
