[They're going to eat the walls...]

Someone who's very hungry, perhaps. [Then they would just be tempted to eat the walls all the time as well.]

That is quite the literal meaning of eating someone out of house and home.

[ get it ]

[He does... There's a little huff of a laugh and a thin thread of amusement...]

So it would seem. Having to trade shelter for a bite to eat would just be a tragic set of circumstances.

... mm, yes.

[ that is something people have to do for real so the mood goes somber for a second.

topic change. ]

Do you like sweets?

[NOT LIKE THIS there's a faint flicker of like ? and then faint embarrassment after the realization because sometimes a very sensitive person misspeaks because the fool piloting them completely spaces out in the face of so much jingling happening on mingle.

Topic change!]

Ah - I don't mind them... Do you prefer them?

[ the mingle has us by the throat ]

No, actually. I prefer savory.

[THE MINGLE AND THEN CHARTS]

That does seem to suit you. [A slow nod...] Do you have a favorite food?

Rice and miso soup!

[ they answer so readily. ]

Oh? I haven't heard of miso soup before... What is it made of?

[He missed the miso discussion...]

Miso pas-- ah, fermented soybeans? Broth, seaweed, vegetables...

[Thanks for white-ifying the ingredients for him.]

It sounds very healthy.

Yes, and it is very delicious! A good breakfast can be just it and rice...

Would soup and rice be enough to tide one over until lunch...?

[Perhaps a very large serving of both.]

Well, you can also add other dishes along with it... it is popular to also include grilled fish, for example.

Oh! I see... [A nod.] ...I wonder if even the seafood here is made of candy.

... we can find out.

Shall we, then?

[THEY CAN DO THAT AND I CAN SET ONE OF OUR MILLIONS THREADS FREE BEFORE WE INEVITABLY START A MILLION MORE.]
