[It will take him some time to respond back since he'll either be training or being a doofus somewhere.]

So? That was a shitty thing to do, you know, he really enjoys food! I don't know if he was ill or had difficulty eating in his own world or what, but he looked so happy eating your buns and kept talking about how great they were, and then you pulled that!
[The long and short of it is, really--]
When I saw him reacting like that and I couldn't help, I couldn't even prevent it, I was so angry and scared. I don't care if it happens once or no more times, it happened and there's consequences for hurting people when they trust you, Rin, no matter how small. And me, personally, I hate lies and tricks.

[... Oh. He doesn't like that... she'll try to remember that.]
I just... don't want you to get into trouble, Rin. I think you're a very special young man, and I don't want anything bad to happen to you.

[he doesn't know what to say...
he's disappointed people before - or multiple times - far too many times. the last time he disappointed anyone - really, really let them down - it also had a way of blowing up in his face. had he known that Kaneki was really that pleased about receiving food, he wouldn't have -- then again, he probably shouldn't have committed the prank in the first place...
because now maka...
one second of silence becomes five, becomes ten, becomes thirty before he attempts to say anything. there's a soft laugh on the other end that might be more than a little forced.]
I know. [He knows but he doesn't want to dwell on his own personal feelings about this. He doesn't want to think about or remember anything from That Time. There's a part of him that almost laughs again - something less forced, maybe a little more something else (something scared, maybe) but he tries to shake it off.
No, he's going to shake it off. because it was going to be okay. eventually.]
...I'll have to find a way to earn your trust again.

Yes, way. He's more then happy to help out and he's free. Besides if you don't work with Naoya, you work with me. Do you want to work with me, Rin?
[The sad thing is that he does like them. The action just reminds him of someone important, someone he can't see anymore. The whole situation seems familiar as well. He doesn't try to piece the similarities together. Rin goes on being a little more standoffish, a little less sentimental.]
'm not gonna get into real serious trouble. I can handle it. ...Thanks though. [not many people said he was special and here comes a pokemon who says it like it's no big deal.]

[...Killua or Naoya? Kid Assassin or MAN WHO PROBABALY WANTS TO TURN RIN INTO A DIGITAL DEVIL???
THE BASTARD MIGHT EVEN RENAME HIM.
WITH HIS LUCK, MAYBE RIN WILL JUST BE THE DEMON KNOWN AS "THE SON OF SATAN"
HE DOES NOT NEED THAT TO BE HIS OFFICIAL TITLE AGAIN, THANK YOU.]
...I'll work with him only if Alice comes along. [but Killua could actually do things to him in this dimension.]

Good choice, I'll tell him right away.
[Killua could do so many horrible things, it is good that Rin doesn't risk it.]

Yeah. You will.
[And that's her stance on it, she's not writing Rin off--hell, people have done worse directly to her and she managed to forgive them. It's just...a prank, anyway. Boys do those kinds of things. Kaneki, bless his soul, probably just wanted to move on and wouldn't be happy with Maka holding a grudge about it.]
We're still friends, I'm just gonna have a hard time trusting you in the future.
[Just to...be sure he understands that, she doesn't want him to think that she's ending their friendship--one that's gone on for longer than hers with Kaneki--over hot buns.]
...You can start by looking out for Kaneki from now on. He gets into a lot of trouble, even when his Zangoose is with him, even when I'm with him. Maybe he'll trust the word of another guy more.

[Killua might actually dress him up for a pin-up or one of those body pillow type deals.]
Great. [WHICH IN OPPOSITE WORLD MEANS, WHOO-HOO.]

He should be contacting soon enough so be prepared and maybe take your measurements.
[He's probably make Rin take a video, doing cute poses. But no, he's already left another trap for Rin.]

[They could still be friends? He dimly recalls something she mentioned before. Now's not the time to bring it up, not when he's relieved to at least still have her friendship. Even if he hasn't truly earned it back.]
Because I did something that really scared you and that friend of yours. I'll find a way. [Because every friend is important. This was Rin's fault and he is going to fix it. Even if it takes a long time. ...Hopefully it doesn't.]
Wait - you want me to keep an eye on him? [Rin did get the feeling that the guy was a major trouble magnet, but to have Maka think it serious enough that Kaneki would need three babysitters? That's distressing.]
I can do it but... I dunno, he should trust your word too - way more than mine. It's not like you're blowin' out air over here.

Measurements? ...For what?
[EXCUSE YOU KILLUA, BUT HE TOOK BASIC SCIENCE. AND MEN DON'T HAVE A CHEST SIZE.
UNLESS KILLUA WAS GETTING HIM FAKE BOOBIES........]

So he'll have a good guess about what size outfit to get you. If he doesn't it might be too small or too tall.
[Friends have always been precious to Maka, more valuable than gold--it's still a wonder to her every day that somehow she has friends, and she made them all on her own. They don't care about her father's status, they don't ask probing questions about what her mother's up to, they're her friends.]
Actually your stunt illustrated to him exactly why he should trust what I say, but I don't think he does it maliciously--Kaneki just wants to give people the benefit of the doubt.
...Which he shouldn't, for obvious reasons. Obvious stuff-besides-you reasons.

[All aboard the friendship train! Now serving: hot buns for days
Rin shares the same opinion about friends, but perhaps with a little more dragon-hording-gold tendencies. Friends were great but friends needed to be protected at all costs. Friends could get hurt. Friends could definitely fend for themselves BUT IF DANGER IS NEAR then into the cave they go.
Except Maka. She could help defend the friend-gold-nuggets. Give him two more chapters to figure out that his friends do not need a protector.]
That's not bad and all, but if he can't judge a person well then he's screwed in the real world. [Really now, Kaneki didn't take the clear warning signs of Rin's behavior and Maka's verbalization. Rin would like to think he was a good judge of character, demon senses aside. OH WAIT A SECOND. SUDDEN REVELATION!]
Hey, this is actually a really good thing, right? That means he's learned not to take food from strangers!

All right. ... Just come to me if you ever need help, okay?
[She smiles at him and turns to bustle over the stove. Tea makes things better, right?]
[She smiles at him and turns to bustle over the stove. Tea makes things better, right?]
don't think we're agreeing about the same thingAh...but you're not a stranger. You're my friend.
[Oh, Rin.]
What he should have learned is to listen to me and not think I'm just being paranoid. But I already gave him the lecture about that, I don't just spout bullshit, why would I? To turn him against you? That wouldn't make any sense, it's not like you're a bad guy.
...I'm going to make food for him from now on. Just so he knows where it's coming from.

[Was it really an odd thing to say? Maybe. Maybe just a little. Rin isn't sure how to feel so he goes for the next best thing. He walks over to Alice to watch her work around the kitchen.]
...Wha'cha makin'?
...Wha'cha makin'?
Tea.
[It makes her trainer feel better, so maybe it'll help Rin, too.]
[It makes her trainer feel better, so maybe it'll help Rin, too.]
[Her trainer is an old man OF COURSE HE LIKES TEA. Rin just happens to like anything made for him. He hovers a little closer to her. He's never seen her make tea before.]
What kinda tea?
