[ The response doesn't come until a little later, while Akira's the one working on whatever it is that they're working on ( probably the filling, what the fuck is frangipane ). But when it does, Boxer gets the luxury of watching Red look up, scan the crowd, while trying to rub her face with the back of her hand. Rip.
And then— ] You could come and help, you know. [ Instead of being vague as heck about how long tart is supposed to cook for, smfh. ]

you're doing just fine.
[Follow your instincts, Red. He believes in you. (Besides, frangipane has got to be a little out of his wheelhouse, too. What is it, who knows.) On a slightly more helpful note—]
[ Unfortunately she has a competition she wants to win!! So even when she does spot him, all she can do is frown deeply and just turn away. He's going to pay for this later, probably. ]
Come and get it yourself, if you want to see it off. [ Is this flirting or just her being huffy, who the heck even knows anymore. ]
[ If they meet eyes, she's definitely rolling her eyes at him. What a jerk. ] I'm also in the middle of a very serious competition. Talking to you might get us disqualified.

[Akira's a troublemaker, clearly. (Says Boxer, as he perpetuates this bad behavior.)]

Not that the friend is being much help, I hear.

You could have come closer instead of trying to butter me up.
