[ Color preference? Type of flower? Allen gives it some thought when he asks, mulling it over as he chews, before he finally says he's always liked white or yellow flowers. But it isn't like he's really considered it enough before to have a strong preference? ]
You said you saw some you liked earlier, right? [ It's a gentle comment as he leans over to very openly steal a dumpling of some sort off of Shouto's plate like that's just a very normal part of how one does dinner. Which it is with Allen. He offers things from his plate as well! That speaks to how much he likes and is comfortable with you! ]
I'd like to see those.
[ As always, Allen is animated and happy to talk about the people from his day. So long as it's been a day not marked by tragedy, and even those he'll still find some small silver lining or hopeful element of to focus on. But his demeanor is bright and lighthearted, carried along by his eagerness to see what Shouto baked and that they're celebrating tonight, and he peppers his conversation by asking about Shouto's as well. He tries to avoid ever actually prying, noticing he generally seems to be more relaxed and at ease when Allen is talking, and he is fine to carry the conversation at those times.
He feeds Timcanpy as he chats too, even if Tim has his own plate, and Tim steals bits from Allen's as well. It's part of their routine, the same as how Allen considers Shouto's plate open to him and his open to Shouto. It's what he's doing when Shouto pins that curious look on him and asks that, which makes Allen tip his head curiously in response as he follows that train of thought. Oh. ]
No. [ He waves his fork lightly at Shouto in mock-admonishment. ]
Thankfully I was already ready for whenever we did decide to celebrate. [ Unlike some people who decided on their own when that would be.
Which means no he did not sneak around setting anything up earlier because I was distracted and forgot he didn't know in advance, but he had been accumulating what he needed for whenever they did. ]
