Giving too much away, a common mistake

It was noticeable how much MePhone's mood had improved compared to the last day he had been at work to Two. He was still a bit on the quiet side, but he at least looked fine, and was acting fine. He had even brought in supplies of his own to make something new, which was nice. At least if they didn't have variety yesterday, they did today. Two was just glad to see he was fine, and doing better. It was during a slow bit where they didn't have any immediate customers when they finally decided to ask him about their prior day.

"How was your day yesterday?"

"Oh-- uh..." A bit of hesitation from MePhone, before he continued; "Sorry about that, by the way. Uhm, everythings... Alright," He gave a thumbs-up; "I just... Needed a day. I'll try not to make that a habit. Uhm... But I did spend time yesterday making these so they'd be good for today," He gestured to the tarts on display. They were strawberry, and the composition was generally nice to look at. It really looked like he had outdone himself this time, and they definitely were selling with the customers that did come in-- the item being something completely new, after all. Much like the eclairs.

"It's fine, really. It wasn't all too busy yesterday anyways. Just glad to see you're doing alright today,"

"Haha, yeah," MePhone glanced away, letting it be left at that. He was sure Two knew he had just straight up ditched work for no good reason yesterday, and he didn't understand why they were being so chill about it considering in any other job he would've been yelled at or fired. But... He supposed this wasn't 'any other job', so... It was fine.

"... Anything interesting happen here yesterday?"
"Well... It wasn't at work, but Four finally asked me to make him a cake! I'm waiting for his text about the details, but I'm really excited. He's never let me bake him anything before."

"That sounds exciting," MePhone just gave a small smile, not really caring much about Four when he was mentioned, but if this was something Two was passionate and excited about, he could be polite about it, and be happy for them.

"Tomorrow should be pretty interesting too. Soap is going to be contacting the supplier. Hopefully she wont uh... Well I'm sure she won't aggravate her like you did,"

MePhone just let out a sheepish sigh, not even being able to deny it.

"I forget something once, and suddenly she thinks I'm the worst person on the planet. I can't say that's a new feeling but it's... Hard to work with someone like that." Another sigh.

"Well, good thing it's Soap's duty now then,"

"... Yeah,"

A pause between the both of them, before Two spoke up again;

"What do you think of her by the way?"

"The supplier? Gods, I hate her--"

"No, no-- I meant Soap,"

"Oh-- well..." A pause, followed by clear hesitation, as MePhone glanced away.

"I don't hate her. It's... Just a lot to get used to all of a sudden." He turned away, just keeping his gaze forward as he idly lingered by the rester, honestly hoping a customer would come in just about now to cut this conversation short, but of course he wasn't so lucky.

"Are you handling it okay?"

"What? I-- Pshh. Yeah. Of course I am. I handle everything great." A dismissive hand wave, but a not so convincing tone of voice. Two just raised a skeptical eyebrow at him.

"Listen-- I just... I'll get used to her. All of this, it's just... Different, and new, and--... And sure, I'm not... Great when things change so suddenly but I'm... Not trying to make that your problem. You... Have enough to deal with. I'm sure." And a ramble that surely gave a lot more away than he had meant to give.
