Mate? I'm guessing that's a tea?

[He looks over, perhaps just a bit more curious than before, and breathing out a soft laugh at his father's horror.]

You don't need to say it. We can all fill in the blanks. Though if we want to talk weirdly horny allegories, I think FLCL has some of that. I don't know if you'd call it a mecha anime, though.

[He'll just talk about weird anime and not about his problems this whole time, thanks.]

[pineapplesalmon]

Ha, I think I know which one that is. That was a wild ride, to be honest.

Mate's a different plant, but same idea. It's very popular in South America.

[César closes the fridge door and comes back with a coke, handing it to Rich. Then he goes and gets the pizza pie, putting it down on the bed, and goes to get some plates and napkins]

Although I could spring the more complicated version on you, but it's going to take a lot longer to make, and I might definitely spill some of it on the bed.

I mean, it's whatever... I'm pretty sure you just wanted to watch anime, though, so making me that sounds like too much work.

[Even if he's kind of curious, he's hesitant about putting any sort of pressure on his dads right now.]

[pineapplesalmon]

Yeah, but now that I've said it, I want some. [César laughs lightly.] I've done it to myself.

I guess if you're making it anyways... I wouldn't mind.

[It just feels weird to ask for anything right now. Rich needs to do more to support himself. Holding everyone back like this is just...]

[pineapplesalmon]

[Rich is trying to keep himself small. Make their jobs 'easier' by saying he needs nothing. Except that only makes everything worse. Being needed is something that gets people up in the morning.

César nods with a smile.]

I've been wanting to share it with you, anyway, and just looking for the first excuse.
