[closed] Welcome to the tea party

[sanzohoshi]

Who: Sanzang, Sanzo, Hazel, and Jae-ha
What: A long overdue dinner party that in no way will go topsy-turvey
When: May 2
Where: hazel's mansion temple texas shrine
Warnings: Sanzo? Who Jae-ha is as a person?

[Sanzang had never really gone to a small dinner party before. Sure there had been banquets and large, lavish parties before but nothing this... intimate? It was exciting, but...

Well, cooking had been a disaster. Did you know pressure cookers made hardboiled eggs? Did you know they could explode and the scorch marks might never go away? Sanzang knows now. Oh boy does she know. So it's a store-bought cake in her hands, which she keeps looking at in mild dismay]

I was so looking forward to bringing something I made... [Ah well. She smiles at Sanzo] It'll just have to wait for next time! [Next time??] Maybe I'll try a casserole thing again... Wukong and the others were pretty helpful, ahaha!

[And helpful at eating the remains when she'd messed that up too which had led to her deciding on something "easier" like hardboiled eggs in a pressure cooker. Also who uses monkeys to help in the kitchen? Stop her.

Either way she balances the boxed cake on one bare hand (her sleeves left at home, though she'd unfortunately gotten absolutely nowhere in convincing Sanzo to leave his gun behind) and knocks on the door]

This'll be fun, I promise! [Citation needed.]

[ Is he free to leave? Really? He'll go.

He'll...

...stay in his seat because what the hell is that look that Sanzang is giving him? Instead, Sanzo is just going to let them babble about whatever they want to, and see if a glass of wine will at least help fortify him enough to deal with this stupidity. ]

[Yes, it's time for everyone to turn to their wine. Good idea.]

That's right, a cute lil dragon. It's a big necklace, I s'pose... [pendant, pff.

But now that everyone's having a Great Time-] Well, let's eat.

[razzledazzles]

[Hazel. Jae-Ha stretches his leg out beneath the table just enough to bump lightly against Hazel's. Don't be rude.]

Let's eat.

[Well, hopefully everyone enjoys his little feast set out, but he'll definitely be enjoying the wine, as well. It's some good, fancy wine. He waits until everyone has their guards down and is eating to speak again.]

Does he have the sleeves and everything? I need to know.

[sanzohoshi]

[Sanzang reaches out and places a hand on Sanzo's arm, her eyes warm and full of adoration; she doesn't say it, but there's a thank you in her smile before she turns to the food.]

Jae-ha, it's so good! Can I steal you away to cook for us too? [She's so ready to eat her fill and take home leftovers.]

He does! The sleeves are my weapons! I think we work really well together, it's... Hmm, well it's almost like we can figure out what the other's thinking even before we teamed up. It's like instinct, we just read each other well. Or something like that, right, Sanzo? [Smiles at him!]

But I'm sure you and Hazel are probably similar!

[killsthebuddha]

It can't be helped when we're both Genjo Sanzo. [ He is turning his attention very firmly towards the food, though he only picks at it. The wine, on the other hand, is a prospect taken more seriously. ]

That's nothing like those two at all.

[churchbelle]

Well, we're not the same person, no. Can't rightly claim that. ["Same person" sure is being used loosely, and yet, it also isn't... how deep does this Sanzo rabbit hole go?? Who knows.]

But we get along just fine.

[So there!! Eat your stew, Sanzo.]

[razzledazzles]

I have a feeling we're closer than the two of you, despite everything Sanzang dear says.

[That's Jae-Ha's input, but dinner can probably continue on like this as usual. Jae-Ha drinks as much as he usually does and nothing changes, and he'll enjoy the food he worked hard on, so hopefully they can as well!

He hasn't thought ahead to what they can do after...]

[sanzohoshi]

Ahaha..

[Why must you all be like this.

Thankfully the peace is kept (more or less) and after everything's been all put away (probably for Jae-ha to wash alter, but who knows maybe Hazel will actually help??), Sanzang claps her hands together with a bright grin.]

Dinner was wonderful, thank you so much for having us over! [This sounds like it's going to lead to Sanzang announcing their intentions to leave, but no one get their hopes up yet. She taps her cheek with a mock-forgetfulness]

Now, if I recall, when we talked about this... Jae-ha said he could play music, and I think we agreed we could dance! [There were no solidified plans on that front, but Sanzang's beaming away like it's a Given Thing.] Just a little bit?

[Pretty please with a cherry on top?]
