[ Sort of. It's concerning, to think that their memories could be fair game to anyone. Remembering the raw feelings of having some of the most fragile points of his other self's life on display in the subway... makes it worse. ]
And if there is something wrong? These are fragile, precious things. Imagining that anyone could see them without prompting is... concerning.
[Yuusk is he gonna need to invest in a harness ala Zoro? He turns his head for two seconds and then the guy is just gone.]
Oi, at least wait for me to finish paying...
[Thankfully, Yusuke doesn't go far -- in fact, Sanji bumps into him from behind, having also gravitated toward the thematically drawn cake on the ground. The smell is delightful, though he'd been careful to eat before arriving. Gotta save dem coins.
-- Which begs the question, doesn't it? Sanji's voice becomes dangerously pleasant, right next to Yusuke's ear]
[ Take him to a street art show and he is gonna view the street art!! It's!! Only natural!!
He's so intensely into looking at the chalk art again that he absolutely fails a spot check and ends up surprise!jolting when Sanji's voice is suddenly right there in his ear. Hi. He, uh. Doesn't want to answer that question. ]
I... [ ABORT MISSION. ] ... had coffee?
[ Coffee's a food group, right? It's. It's beans. It counts. ]
[ At least he is consistent and doesn't disappoint...?
Uh.
Okay so now the pressure is on?? Literally this whole place is just. Art and food. Help?? ]
Oh.
[ HELP?? Honestly, throwing him over his shoulder might just be faster. But he does do a visual circuit of the area, looking for something that would be varied and appealing?? ]
There, maybe? [ Sure does look like a place doing interesting looking Mexican street food tent?? Please don't kick him there. Whatever is being made there certainly smells really nice, for sure. ]
[The goal is to feed this stick of a man, not criticize his tastes (for now). Sanji glances at the vendor and after a critical pause, starts walking toward the relatively short line for food.
Yusuke better be following him because if not, he's getting dragged over. None shall escape until all stomachs are filled.]
Smells good... [Rubbing his chin] Wonder if they'd be willing to share any of the recipes...
[ He's not going to argue with the idea of eating food once they're at the stall - nor is he going to linger at the art, as much as he'd like to. He knows the drill by now. There's menu attached to the counter with a cord, but it's long enough for him to pluck one up and pull it over to them so they can see what's available. ]
Is that common? To share recipes from restaurants and stalls?
[ Oh. The quesadillas look good. And smoked salmon tostadas? Looking over the description, it looks almost refreshing compared to some of the heavier, spicier dishes. ]
Although there's no harm in asking. They do seem to have some quite unique ideas here.
[Holy shit, you can do that with salmon? Briefly, Sanji entertains the idea of breaking the cord holding the menu in place (hey, pirates gotta pirate), but after a moment's thought, he settles for pulling out his phone and opening up a memo app.
... He is absolutely typing up the entire menu. For. Reasons.]
[ Wow, Sanji... you can't just steal a whole menu that is literally what the cord is there for. Yusuke just... gently tugs Sanji’s hand away from the cord. No breaking. But he does exactly nothing to stop him copying the entire menu while the owners aren’t looking. ]
[ Hm... He looks through the box a bit more as his friend holds it. Look? Headphones? Eyes bright, he puts them on for a second... Then puts them on Yusuke.
Red isn't your color, fox friend. ]
What about submitting designs to MMO costume contests? No need to worry about making anything.
[ yes!! yes, yusuke gets it. they are on the same page. eren nods as he speaks, agreeing with everything thus far and glancing down directly at the drawing. he can’t get her out of his head. ]
If it’s a problem, we’ll bring it up with Zee. [ but, since yusuke doesn’t seem to have experienced anything . . . ] Noticed anything weird with anyone else?
[IT'S NOT STEALING IF IT'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM...!]
Of course we are, I don't know what they taste like.
[Which he phrases like it's an egregious oversight that must be corrected immediately. But hey, Yusuke can tug him away once Sanji is finished his business. They're near the front of the line and barely have to wait before it's their turn to order, and after nudging Yusuke in the side:]
[Well, Yukiko had agreed to do this, since Yusuke needed a subject. It wasn't really a problem for her to put on a kimono and come to the campus studio. She wore them to class sometimes anyway, and today just happened to be one of those days. So that's why she's poking her head into the art workrooms until she finds him.]
[ IT IS IF IT’S BREAKING A CORD TO GET IT....! Says the thief to the pirate. ]
My initial impression would be “very nice”, but that seems like a good enough reason.
[ Yusuke keeps looking over the menu - there are a lot of other nice things on the menu, such as various empanadas, that would be a nice extra but his attention gets snapped away pretty quickly. ]
What? No, I can pay. You’re the one that found this place, I can at least buy lunch.. [ That, and someone here didn’t just drop a lot of money on spices. ]
