"I can't stay mad at chocolate."

"Apparently before white people decided that sugar should be in everything it was usually made with chili peppers."

"I'm sure it mad sense at the time, but I can't see why you would get chilli involved in that "

"White people are right about sugar and wrong about almost everything else about food."

Rose is standing slightly within Jing Yi's personal space bubble here. 

"I do have to give you points for the sugar. ...and corn dogs, those have their merits."

He sees no reason to move.

"The sin of gluttony is an excellent sin."

"There are certainly worse ones. Not that I know a comprehensive list." 

"Traditionally the list is gluttony, wrath, lust, envy, greed, sloth, and pride. We've gotten to gluttony, wrath, and sloth tonight which is not a bad showing."

"We've got three out of seven! That's a fair amount for such a short time."

"We could try to knock off another couple."

"Envy and pride shouldn't be too hard, and I'd be down to investigate the others."

"Possibly I inherently do pride by thinking God is an asshole and I'm better off without him."

"Four out of seven, we're already over halfway!"

"So greed, envy, or lust?"

"You should pick, you've probably got a better idea of what they entail."

"Greed seems hard to do on short notice although I suppose I could try to get you into ill-advised investing or online shopping decisions."

"I think I'm under a promise to consult with Lev about that? And I wouldn't want to distract him."

"So envy or lust then. Could just be very jealous of people who get to talk to their families."

There is a brief laugh. "Lust seems so much less depressing, if you're willing."

Rose kisses Jing Yi's cheek. "I could be."

"Oh?" Head on shoulder? Head on shoulder.

"Well, I don't know. You could persuade me."

"Well, what would you find persuasive? A hands on demonstration of Great Tang sexual norms?"

"Cross-cultural understanding is very important."

"Definitely."
