[Tanjiro is nothing if not patient, so he lets Eri think the gesture over, watching her paw at her horn and only really then taking a good look at it. Her Quirk, he figured, despite not having any real idea of what it was. He remembered Izuku mentioning she didn't know how to use it, which made sense given how young she was. He said they usually showed up around age four? So Eri had probably only had hers a few years, by now...]
[When she shuffles toward him, all shy and meek, he very nearly feels his insides melt and slosh around inside of him, and he can't help the positively gooey smile on his face-- even if it's bizarrely kind of sad, as well. He doesn't waste any time, then, reaching out and scooping her to him, squeezing her gently before standing back up, letting her perch on his forearm while his other hand rests between her shoulders so she doesn't tip over.]
So you said he can make anything? What's your favorite to have him make, then?
[That is... so cute. He literally can't stop smiling, she's so fucking cute.]
So you like apples then, is that right? [He hums in thought.] You know, you can put apples in spices and cook them to make them soft and make them a treat with any meal, too! Usually with cinnamon and nutmeg, which are really good for you!
[It's the little things, really...Eri has suffered so much that her likes and the things that bring her joy in life are terribly simple compared to most children her age. Honestly, it's only been recently that she knew just how to experience that joy without expecting it to be taken away from her.]
"An apple a day keeps the doctor away"!
[She suddenly parrots, her legs swinging a little in Tanjiro's grasp.]
[His whole face scrunches up in a smile at that, and he nods.]
I think I've heard that saying, before... They're very good for you, so Mr. Lemillion is right when he says that. Have you ever had apple slices where the skin is cut to look like a rabbit?

Candy apples! Though...they're not for dinner. I like apple pie, too...and sometimes he makes applesauce at lunchtime!
[She really likes apples.]

That's what Mr. Lemillion says.

Those are my favorite.

They're the best way to eat apple slices, that's for sure.

Can we ask Mr. Lunch Rush if he has any today?
[She asks him, as if she doesn't already have more authority here than he does by proxy.]
