Hah, just look at how satisfied Riddle looks. It had been an obvious move to make, both from a position of basic courtesy, and from the information he's gleaned from Trey over months of being clubmates. Riddle's sweet tooth, his taste for the finer things..... It all dovetails neatly with his hopes to encourage and support Epel, doesn't it? Get off on the right foot with a gesture of generosity, and stay there by ensuring he doesn't make any faux pas, using the rulebook he's been studying to prepare for his visit.

"Oui! As you wish." Being looked down upon or not, Rook's smile only brightens, seeing that he's being welcomed in. He's ready to come to heel and follow where he's led, as bidden--and to set the box down where he's asked to, once they make it to the kitchen. The sweet-tart fragrance is obvious from the moment it's opened, revealing a tarte tatin topped with delicately caramelized apple slices arranged to form a large rose. Better enjoy the artistic presentation while you can, Riddle; it's going to be ruined in short order, once you start carving it up into enough pieces for the whole dorm. At least it's large enough that everyone should get a few bites each?

All the better, to help ensure that the rest of Heartslabyul is as enamored as Riddle, hmmm? A little generosity is sure to be repaid in spades later.
