[ at dusk nearby the apartments tonight, there is a small stall, lit up by lanterns outside an in behind the curtains covering the inside. a delicious smell comes off of it, and the coast seems to be clear around the stall. as the sun sets further, the light inside illuminates the shape of a small person... or creature, judging by the tall ears on top of its head.

care to take a peek inside? ]

... [He snorts and puts an arm around Garry.] What a cute couple you'd make!

[fraternal]

[ ignore the arm ignore it ignore it... ]

There isn't really anywhere around we could go on a date, ma'am.

[jigoku_onryo]

You give an old lady hope!

Don't worry, I keep good house. You'd be happy wife.

[triggeringbiggering]

[Once-ler snorts into his hand.]

[fraternal]

I'll pass, but thank you, you flatter me.

[jigoku_onryo]

Oh well.

[triggeringbiggering]

Don't worry. I'll take good care of him until he changes his mind, okay?

[jigoku_onryo]

Ohohoho!

[fraternal]

[ gently pushing Once-ler's face away with his hand. dammit you're making his heart hurt, here!! ]

[triggeringbiggering]

Hey!

[He pulls his head and arm away from Garry and sets back to eating.]

[fraternal]

[ he does too - and he'll have to stop when he's actually full, pushing the bowl closer to Once-ler to finish off. ]

Haah... that was perfect.

[triggeringbiggering]

[His mouth is too full to voice his agreement.]

[fraternal]

[ chuckling - he'll get to his feet and bow his head a bit to the kitsune. ]

I'll leave Once' to his food. thank you so much, miss.

[jigoku_onryo]

Happy to see smiling faces. Goodnight cute boy.

[triggeringbiggering]

Hey, no! Come on, you can't walk back to the apartments by yourself!

[Or leave him, which is really the big protest here. And said around a mouthful of noodles.]

[fraternal]

It's not very far at all-

[fraternal]

--and don't speak with your mouth full, Once'...

[triggeringbiggering]

[He hastily swallows.]

But we should still not go out here on our own?

[fraternal]

It's fine- I'm uh, a little tired. But I'm armed, I'll be alright.

[ normally he'd never agree to going on his own (UNLESS IT WAS TO SACRIFICE HIMSELF) but he'd really like to forget about this evening ASAP. ]

[triggeringbiggering]

[He hauls up the bowl and sucks down the broth.]

[fraternal]

Once-?

[triggeringbiggering]

Ahhhh.

[He gets to his feet.]

Well, let's go!

[fraternal]

Jeez... [ he'll scratch the back of his head, but not, gripping his fire poker and heading on his way after another polite bow to the kitsune woman. ]

[triggeringbiggering]

[He gives a bow too, hastily putting his mask back on.]

See ya!

[jigoku_onryo]

Have fun, kids.
