[ hmmmmm. ]

Sure. They're cute... I guess. It's not much of a meal if you're hungry, though - they're just snacks.

[rippled]

Is that so...

[ they stare down at them, contemplative. ]

Then you have to eat a lot.

[outdistanced]

Don't eat enough that you get sick from it.

[rippled]

Oh, do not worry. My stomach is very strong.

[ they pat it. ]

[outdistanced]

[ this does not assuage his concerns ]

Well, don't say I didn't warn you. [ ... ] Some of it does look good...

[rippled]

Then, let us have some together. You do not have to eat a lot.

[ and that way, laurence won't have tummy issues. ]

[outdistanced]

[ why does he look so surprised to get an invitation ]

Oh. [ oh. ] Okay.

Sorry, I don't know your name, Mister...?

[rippled]

I am Saber. Good to meet you...?

[ while waiting for laurence to introduce himself, saber will start glancing at the options. HMMM ]

[outdistanced]

Laurence Nimith. Nice to meet you.

[ trails behind Saber like a lost puppy. ]

Most of them look like sweets.

[rippled]

They do...

[ hmmm. ]

Are you a fan of sweets?

[outdistanced]

They're okay. I haven't had stuff like this that often. The cafeteria always had some, I guess, but we're supposed to watch what we eat, you know? Be healthy.

[rippled]

Is that so...

[ that sounds miserable. ]

... let's splurge then. A treat every now and then shouldn't suddenly make you unhealthy, right?

[outdistanced]

[ he nods. ]

As long as it's not too much, it'll be okay. [ peers thoughtfully at saber. ] Do you like things like that?

[rippled]

Fufufu, I do! But also savory things–I just like delicious food in general.

[ which is why this place is so neat, because there's so many different things to try. ]

But my favorite is rice.

[outdistanced]

Why rice...? It's so plain on its own.

[rippled]

Because it goes with so many different things! The perfect, highly adaptable food! Isn't that amazing?

[ they are practically sparkling... ]

[outdistanced]

[ whoa they're really passionate about this ]

Sure, I guess so. They do make it a lot at the Tower...

[rippled]

The Tower? Is that where you were before?

[outdistanced]

Yeah, it's home.

[rippled]

Why is the diet so strict there?

[outdistanced]

Well, it's like I said. They want us to be healthy. But it's not, like, a hard rule... If we want sweets, we can have them, just not too many.

[rippled]

It makes sense... I apologize for the questions, I was just never made to be on a diet like that before, so I was curious.

[outdistanced]

No, it's fine. It sounds like everyone's homes are really different, so I don't mind.

Do you even have stuff like this where you're from? You might not need to worry about diets.

[rippled]

From what it sounds like... I am from very far from the past. I was told the 17th century?

[outdistanced]

[ HUH ]

"Far in the past" is an understatement! That's like five centuries ago?!
