[ they are at the nice, cute cafe

saber is peering at the options and look at him. ]

They look quite nice, don't you think?

[ hmmmmm. ]

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

Is that so...

[ they stare down at them, contemplative. ]

Then you have to eat a lot.

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

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

[ they pat it. ]

[ this does not assuage his concerns ]

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

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

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

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

Oh. [ oh. ] Okay.

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

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

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

Laurence Nimith. Nice to meet you.

[ trails behind Saber like a lost puppy. ]

Most of them look like sweets.

They do...

[ hmmm. ]

Are you a fan of sweets?

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.

Is that so...

[ that sounds miserable. ]

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

[ he nods. ]

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

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.
