[ it's almost out of habit that ye xiu reaches for his card when he remembers oh right, he isn't paying for the meal this time around. but it's soon after they've paid that megumi wants to try some place else, talking about the meat in their ramen all this time. ]

Not sure. It tasted like pork.

[ but who knows what it could be. maybe pegasus? he recoils a little when she pats his back, not too hard but it's not quite that gentle either. ]

Is Yanxia where you're...

[ man. this conversation is happening way too fast for him. he can't help but laugh, honestly. her eagerness is so refreshing. ]

Mango. And green tea, if they have it. I can treat you this time.

[ but he's poorer than her in terms of chroma. he doesn't know that, so surely this is going to go well.

when they get there, the line doesn't look that unmanageable, but it still takes some time before it's their turn to order. ye xiu's looking at the screen that has all the flavour offerings and the prices next to them. he seems deep in thought. ]

... Hm. I'm not sure I have enough.
