[ Gasp...Ayato stylin and profilin' today. ]

Peanut butter. The one you want to try is the peanut butter.

[ SAID INSTANTLY WITHOUT HESITATION. That flavour is Nen's only recommendation, both because they love it...and they have yet to try anything else from the crepe shop, which, like they claimed, is only a short trip. Nen holds the door open for him, near-well restless in their excitement. ]

[acquirement]

{ to be fair he probably is still wearing the mermaid necklace too... from that rain dance quest. }

Very well, peanut butter it is. Do you always have that?

{ he may need to remind nen to be careful with their pace, but since they'll be eating and re-energising it doesn't seem a problem just yet. }

[essenceborn]

Yes! Peanut butter was the third foodstuff I encountered shortly after arrival. I had ice cream, donuts, then a scoop of peanut butter. I also ate a lot of snow, but Chipp has told me "that ain't a food."

[ And those quotations would also be Nen trying to mimic Chipp's Louisiana accent...badly. Chipp would probably be so proud ]

[acquirement]

{ honestly that is not an accent he has heard before, so ayato blinks, opens his mouth, shuts it again.


chooses not to ask. }

I see. The more you tell me about Chipp makes me more intrigued by them. I would agree though, most people don't eat snow. Unless it is the shaved ice style, I suppose. I learned about that here.

[essenceborn]

You should meet him! Chipp is excellent. He lives in our shed.

[ THAT PROBABLY SOUNDS TERRIBLE, BUT LOOK. Look. Chipp put himself in the shed okay Nen had nothing to do with that ]

And that was the first time I'd ever seen snow, how was I supposed to know? It made my mouth numb, and that was dunk.

[acquirement]

Nenonen, why does Chipp live in your shed if he's supposedly a good husband? Should he not also live in the house?

{ nen why are you putting your husband in a dog kennel- }

Though I suppose everything is worth trying once, so long as it isn't poisonous.

[essenceborn]

I wanted him too... But he is not clean enough and it would drive Shigeru insane. Also, he said he wanted to stay there. He is a weird husband.

[ But he is THEIR husband, and therefor, perfect. ]

Yes! I agree completely. You should always try new things at least once if they are not poison.

[acquirement]

{ well, that certainly makes sense of what he's learned of shigeru so far... }

I see. I suppose this way you can all have your own space as well. Have you settled in now?

[essenceborn]

Yes! It took a while to get everything moved, but I have unpacked and now I have a giant closet for all my clothes and the fire extinguisher.

[ It's important to have one of those on hand. For Reasons^TM ]

i forgot they were supposed to get crepes sdkjgn we're doing well here dolly...

[acquirement]

That's good to hear. I suppose it's best to be safe.

{ though oh... a crowd is starting to gather behind them, trying to shuffle around--some people having already squeezed past }

We should probably order though, we can continue this as we eat.

we're winning liah sob

[essenceborn]

Oh, right. Yes.

[ Nen turns to give an apology to the people waiting behind them before going up to order--you guessed it--a crepe with peanut butter in it. There's other things too, but that is the most important part to them. From the look on the worker's face, they even recognize it. Nen is definitely "the peanut butter customer" to these poor people. ]

truly great rpers...

[acquirement]

{ ayato does the same as they finally step forward, and he'll request the exact same crepe as nen -- ensuring it has peanut butter as the other had suggested.

and before nen can say anything, he's swiping his phone over the device to pay for them both. }

Thank you.

{ and now they can wait to the side for collection, since they do seem to be freshly made here }

[essenceborn]

Oh... Thank you.

[ What is it with all these perfect men paying for their food all the time!! ]

I will pay for the next one!

[ It doesn't take too long for their crepes to be made; 5mins each at the most, and Nen is eager as theirs is handed over; they take a bite straight away. ]

[acquirement]

{ nen clearly has good friendos }

Very well, we can take turns. Though I'd consider this payment for the peanut smoothies you promised sometime.

{ he smiles, waiting for his to be made after nen's and he'll take a bite. it's certainly different to anything he's had before, at least the texture and consistency. }

Would you like to sit down while we eat, or use the time to walk to the shops?

[essenceborn]

Let's eat and walk! That way we cover more ground and use our time more efficiently.

[ Also known as 'Nen is excited and wants to do everything at once.' Eating and walking, at least, is easy enough to do. They have done this many times by now!! Yuuto spoils them ]

[acquirement]

Very well. Please let me know if you grow tired, we can stop and take a break as needed.

Were there any shops in particular you wanted to visit?

{ he's fine with it as well, and nen is right, they will cover more ground this way. as much as his concern for them is rather genuine, he'll just have to keep an eye out there. }

[essenceborn]

Okay, I will.

[ Nen's stamina for walking long distances has increased a lot since their first quest together to stop the clothes-stealing skeletons, but it's still nowhere near Ayato's. A day out int he city though? Should be fine. ]

I want to try a shoe store! I have never been to one--and. There is a store that sells weird T-shirts. I would like to go there as well.

[acquirement]

{ as long as ayato remembers to keep a slower pace for them anyway. }

Do you only have one pair of shoes then? We should certainly find you some others. Though I'm... not sure which store that one is, you will have to lead us there.

[essenceborn]

I have one pair of shoes, and one pair of winter boots.

[ So...yes, Nen could use more shoes. Especially since the loafers they tend to wear don't match some of the new clothes they bought on their second date with Chipp a little while ago. ]

I have done store-research, so please leave everything to me. I marked them on a map. I have finally learned how to read maps for outdoor areas and cities.

[acquirement]

I see. Though I think I probably should consider buying more as well. I'll finally have a suitable wardrobe soon, so I'll have somewhere to put everything.

{ because the ones at the apartments are TINY and he's wishing for his from home... that was custom made........... }

But I see, in which case I'll be in your care.

[essenceborn]

What's a wardrobe?

[ Nen is a peasant and therefor only uses closets, sorry Young Master. BOUGIE BOY. ]

[acquirement]

{ wow!!! }

It's a place you can store clothes.

{ and honestly since it's nen, there's no wondering why they don't know--he just answers honestly. }

[essenceborn]

[ CALLIN IT AS I SEE IT ]

Like a closet or dresser?

[ His willingness to answer everything and anything they ask is one of the reasons they like him so much. They're sure it must take a lot of patience to deal with them. ]

[acquirement]

I believe so, yes. They're just different styles of furniture with the same purpose.

{ ayato has patience in spades, they're all good here. }

[essenceborn]

Is it better to have one of those, or a closet or dresser? Or is it just a design choice? I have been learning about those.

[ Nen doesn't really understand the concept in practice, but the theory behind is as sound as aesthetics and subjective likes/dislikes ever get. ]
