 CURRENT POPULATION: 35
It's a rather quaint town when you get down to it. At least, that's what the Sheriff would argue. Warm and dry in the mornings and afternoons with a brisk coolness in the evenings. The perfect type of weather to just sit out on your rocking chair and observe the comings and goings.
... Of course, there's not much in the way of comings and goings when there aren't any actual people here to watch. Nevertheless, don't let that get you down! The town is your oyster and those roosters won't stop crowing until everyone's out of bed. Up and at 'em, rise and shine, it's time to make the day yours!
Except there is, perhaps, a few things amiss.

It's not like I only want to load up on sweets either. [he's... just saying. he's not that bad.]
Just that the flavor of licorice is something I don't like. Like putting lipstick on a garula or something—putting it with something good won't make it taste better if you don't like it.
Something like that.
no subject
Garula?
What's a garula?
no subject
Oh, uh... guess they don't have those where you're from, huh. [he assumes, since she's like. a spirit lord or whatever and probably knows about what lives in her home world.]
Huge animal... monster, thing. Ugly mug, huge tusks. Makes a great sirloin, though.
[priorities.]
no subject
As good as things like "cereal" and "canned soup" have been since I arrived, a plump, medium-rare sirloin steak sounds absolutely delectable right now.

[milla, please!] don't get spirit dribble all over the general store...
You're not the only one. I know people who could eat cup noodles every day but... rather have something a little more satisfying than that sometimes.
no subject
[but. steak!!!]
Maybe we should ask the Sheriff to provide us with garula steak.
no subject
[asking the sheriff. ugh.]
In the meanwhile. Cup noodles. You're missing out. Seriously.
no subject
Am I?
What are cup noodles like?
no subject
[what a helpful description, noct.]
Hold on— [he'll disappear for a sec, but it's just long enough to grab a couple of those cup noodles from a shelf a bit away.]
You open this, fill it to the line with boiling water, let it sit for a few minutes and you've got a whole meal. Even better if you can add meat, or an egg. Shrimp too. They all go pretty good.

I can't believe humans have made food so. . . convenient.
no subject
[they even have whole stores dedicated to that fact.]
no subject
[but. . . for some reason, that statement wipes away the eagerness she displayed while they were talking about food. she seems more. . . pensive, now]
For better, or for worse.
no subject
Talk about a sudden change in vibe...
no subject
My apologies. I didn't mean to change the mood. I was just thinking of home. Something you said reminded me of it.
no subject
[whatever it is, it seems like it was probably pretty serious—but he's not going to just go prying into it or anything.]
no subject
True. Though I've hardly forgotten my duty back in Rieze Maxia.
[and Elympios now, too. of course]
That's one of the reasons I'm fighting so hard to get back.
no subject
We've all got things we have to get back to... no getting around that. Duty calls and all that.
[though that's definitely the first time noctis has ever implied he's got something just as important to get back to. it's fair.]
