[midgardener]

[senior_citizen]

I - yeah. Sorry, I'm not used to this.

[midgardener]

It's alright. I know. Just a little longer, OK?

[senior_citizen]

[ nods ]

[midgardener]

Seems like it.


[ OH HEY A CAFE ]

[senior_citizen]

[ uneasy at that. his lie detection is better like this, but he just doesn't know enough to say anything else. ]

We just go inside and take food? Do we pay for it?

[midgardener]

I'll pay.


Sweet? Savory? Both?

[senior_citizen]

[ eying her again ]

Both? How much is it?
