[ 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? ]

That sounds delicious, auntie.

[Shinies, though? Mika pats herself down, sticking her hands in her pockets to see what she might have in them before rummaging in her bag. A rather shiny nut she'd found outside the hardware store, buttons off her bag might be too scuffed but they had nostalgia, a woven bracelet she'd made from twine she'd picked up here and there? No, that wasn't shiny.

Then Mika pauses, and her hands lift to her ears. She'd almost forgotten. Somehow, after four years, she'd never lost one. Gently unfastening two of the plain silver hoops from her ears, she rubs them on a corner of her shirt to buff the metal before laying them on the counter. She huffs a little, feeling a bit naked before pushing them towards the kitsune.]

Will these work?

Oh... I'll - [- pass, he was about to say, but the smell reminds him that he's only eaten packet food for months. The fresh meals he used to get from his mom or at cafes and diners have become a thing of the past, and he misses them.]

... um, pay extra if I can get it without the tofu?

[wolfishsurvivalist]

I'll take his if he doesn't want it.

[She could only hope that she wasn't going to regret this later.]

[jigoku_onryo]

Keep your pretty ear-shinies, make boyfriend pay for food. Gentleman.

[andallforone]

What - how is that even remotely fair?!

[jigoku_onryo]

Win you ladies heart.

[Mika is trying to keep a straight face, but she's losing that fight quickly and has to cover her mouth with her hand as her shoulders start shaking.]

[Yosuke grumbles and pulls off one of his rings. He holds it out to the Kitsune.]

I swear. Every time I go to a food related place with a girl, I have to pay. It's not fair.

[jigoku_onryo]

Win you ladies heart.

[ she repeats the words much slower this time, like it'll sink in this way.

she takes his ring happily. ]

[wolfishsurvivalist]

[Mika huffed to herself, her tail waving.]

Hey, I did try to pay, you know.

[She turned back to the kitsune, slowly lowering herself on to the seats.]

Thank you for having us, auntie.

[andallforone]

Not very hard, [He grumbles, but his heart isn't really in it. He takes a seat.]

[wolfishsurvivalist]

I am not about to argue with a kitsune. Besides, I'll make you lunch sometime to make up for it, so no whining.

[Mika closes her eyes, her body visibly relaxing more than she's allowed herself to in a long time.]

Auntie, can we ask you about the town?
