post palace takeout! [week 5]

[beathollow]

( at some point a bedraggled lot in yukatas manage to make their way to the dorm, shower and patch themselves up. and then mafuyu makes a very earnest request that they all go out for dinner, and, well, apparently many struggle to refuse her.

this is how they find themselves in something akin to a denny's or an ihop at like, midnight.




as one does. )

[Watching her but not stopping her.]

... Yer one of the most confusing people I've ever met.

[cleansewithfire]

How is that so?

[goei]

How're you gonna eat that when it's all drenched in chili sauce?

[cleansewithfire]

I cut with the knife, pick it up with the fork, and then put it in my mouth.

[ Sorry Izou were you expecting any other answer. ]

[goei]

[At this point yeah he isn't even really that surprised.]

No- No I mean like. Not literally, like all yer gonna taste is spice.

[cleansewithfire]

I already cannot taste anything, so the only difference is that spicy food is warm.

[goei]

... Nothing? That's gotta suck.

[cleansewithfire]

[ There's this sort of blank look of someone who isn't really sure if it does, as Izou said, suck, because she doesn't really have a point of reference to be able to compare a life where she could taste to the one she has where she can't.

And in any case, maybe if she could, those few months in the room would have felt much, much worse.]

I would not know, Mr. Izou.

[goei]

So it's not like you lost it, you never got ta taste anything?

[Also sounds terrible but at least she doesn't know what she's missing.]
