"I know what you mean!" Tanis assured him, feeling glad there was a mutual connection — even if it was a tad bit one-sided. "Earth's culinary art is amazing; can't be beat! Makes me proud to be a human." the swordswoman rolled her eyes, a wide grin splayed on her features as she chewed with her hind teeth, "You should've seen me when I had my first set of donuts. I wager they are the best Earth has to offer. Well, that's the bet I found SO far, anyway."
Tanis finished that sentence with a quick nod. She checked to see everyone had nabbed something before she patiently awaited her turn, scooping up whatever was at the top — anything, really. Her's was the hunger that itches to be satiated giving no room for palate preference. She scooped up whatever seemed like no one wanted.
"I should buy some of you guys desert, if this place has it." Tanis nodded, "I can't wait to see the looks on your faces."
Tanis turned to Sorrel, "You've ever had a donuts? Or any of Earth's sweeter dishes?" Her eyes danced between Rafar and Sorrel. Tanis hoped they said 'no' — she adored introducing others to new things!

"It doesn't really take any talent." He shrugged, taking up the tongs to lay the remaining beef balls, fish balls, and spinach in the bubbling broth. He would save the beef strips and tofu balls for later because they took up more space. His head tilted upon hearing Retsu's review, amazed to see that the Arcosian could get excited. At the least it meant the tension simmered down as the turf war became a circle of appreciation. Sorrel set the tongs down once more, assuming that Rafar and Tanis knew the motions.
"I--," he began with an immediate pause. He was going to answer Rafar's question, but the memories regarding the question flooded in, forcing a pale flush in Sorrel's face as he shuddered at the haunting thoughts.
"I've done some things I'm not proud of in my three years here, but I was able to build a lot of bridges. Figuratively, that is." He paused, his eyes suspiciously circumnavigating the room to make sure a certain presence wasn't around. She had an annoying habit of turning up whenever her name was mentioned. That was why, for the sake of him being able to stomach the rest of his meal, he would avoid any mention of her.
"Take a note from Tanis and don't sweat the little details!" His eyes narrowed, falling upon the pot as balls of fish and beef began rising to the top. They bobbed under a spinach blanket, and Sorrel would gesture towards them with his chin. "Unless they're edible details."
He soon found Tanis getting excited over other Earthling delicacies. His head tilted curiously, though not because he had never encountered a donut. His unhealthy ass popped one every other morning whenever he remembered that breakfast was something his body enjoyed. But he would at least humor her in all her enthusiasm.
"Oh? I don't suppose you happen to know where I can find the best donuts on Earth, do you?"

Rafar gave an almost world-weary grin in response to Retsu's exclamation. "I know right Retsu, Everything is perfect, the temperature, spices and even the type of meat and it's scent. Sometimes I think that's the reason so many people want to conquer this world, it's definitely a much better reason than just empire building." He then gave a huge smile and grabbed several more meat strips as they floated up. "You snooze you loose Sorrel." He then ate the strips, one by one, savoring each bite and all the flavors that came with it.
He then tilted his head in response to Tanis question, "What are donuts and what do they taste like? Actually don't answer that, if it's made by Earthlings it's good. And no I haven't ever had any sweeter dishes. From where I was brought up, it's pretty much just plain meat all the time. I would love to try some though."
As he chatted to Tanis and Retsu, Sorrel seemed to be having trouble repressing some memories of his first days on Earth or something like that. His eyes kept darting around the room, as if looking for something and he kept muttering that he did things he wasn't proud of to "build bridges". Rafar slowly leaned back from Sorrel, as if afraid he was going insane. Recovering, Sorrel quickly asked Tanis about the best donuts on Earth. Rafar then relaxed and hoped that whoever Sorrel was looking for didn't show up to crash their tour of Earthling delicacies.

Retsu would stand up, quickly plucking things from his pot as they came up to the surface. He looked up at Tanis as she spoke and frowned. "I can't say I have had Donuts. But they don't sound that good." He frowned to her, then looked to Sorrel.
He'd listen to Sorrel's words, his expression saddening just a tad. "Everyone has done things they are not proud of..." He said softly. He sat down for a moment a sighed. "Some more than Others..."
He'd turn his head to Rafar as he spoke and shook his head before chuckling. "This food is good. But I can say I have had better. Believe it or not, the Nutrient pastes we have on some of our ships taste quite good. Often times we mix up the flavors to see what we get. They are certainly good for you, but they don't give you the same satisfaction as just eating."
He shrugged and leaned back, having finished his entire pot already. "I am quite full." He spoke. "it was good for what it was."

Noxa responded to Sorrel first as she ate the few things she'd fished from the top and leaned back, feeling extremely full from JUST that.
"I sure do!" She assured him, "Satan City's Oldies Dinner has the BEST donuts!" She confidently pronounced, "All the cops hangout there!"
She nodded turning to Rafer, "They taste like tasty, sugary, doughty sweetness! Trust me — they are GREAT!" Tanis stretched her legs out beneath the table; her toned arms reached up, fore arms resting atop of her head as she relaxed.
"A few beef balls and some veggies and I'm completely full." Confessed the mercenary, her right heel raising and resting itself over her left thigh. She looked around at the trio. "You should definitely pass by it sometime..." She flashed a grin to Retsu, "Even if you have wrong speculations about the dish~."

"Ah~?" He chimed, looking on in satisfaction at his guests. They had all seemed content with their fill, leaving Sorrel with clean up duty. His tongs moved swiftly through the remaining ingredients and introduced them to the broth. As his eyes focused intently on the meal, Sorrel found himself only half-tuned into the conversation. He was busy snatching food out of the pot just before they were ready to float, at the crossroad between rare and medium-rare.
With his cheeks puffed and full of food, he looked to Tanis and tilted his head. Her tall stature, her muscular physique. How could someone with such a healthy disposition have such a weak appetite? He shrugged the thought off, finally allowing the packed food to glide down his throat. A fit of gastrointestinal uproar soon followed, but two beats of the chest would see to Sorrel's comfort. He sighed in relief and returned his attention to the woman.
"Well, my master always said one should eat for sustenance, not satisfaction." He made sure to hunch his back and squint one eye, which probably gave off the impression that his master was old. Or the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Sorrel shrugged his shoulders after settling into his normal posture.
"But I ain't my master. We're just about done here. Perhaps we can proceed to Satan City's Oldies Dinner, if everyone's down?" He looked to Rafar and Retsu.

"If you think your nutrient paste can compete with this Retsu, then your paste must be much more advanced than the one's I have tried." Finally, the Arcosian was starting to unwind from his air of perfection and civility, Rafar liked him much better this way. Retsu's appetite was certainly much better than Tanis's, who had only eaten one or two scraps of meat and vegetables.
She then suggested that they go to "Satan City Oldies Dinner" to get these doughnuts. In response to Sorrel's question, Rafar would nod, "Let's go then."

Retsu looked to each of them as they spoke before he shook his head. "I'm afraid I don't overindulge." He said. "Unlike some of the men whom were under my employ, I rather enjoy eating the correct Portion sizes and no overdoing my diet." He looked to Rafar next and spoke up. "Nutrient paste is abit of an acquired taste. I've been trained on it since my birth and have come to love its flavors." He shrugged before finally looking to Sorrel.
"I'm afraid I can't accompany you." He said with a nod of his head. "I have only been on this planet for a short time, and I need time to get a foothold here. Perhaps build a home...."

"Boo! That's no fun." Alison said, her tone light and jovial in a response to Lord Retsu. "Common, guy! It'll be fun!" She insisted, "We could try a bunch of deserts!" Tanis felt a quickening of her heartbeat the more she thought of this. She bet none of them even ever had coffee! Or hot chocolate! Yeah, that'd be amazing!
Tanis looked a little ways off from the men that sat opposite from her. She was just in time to see a few officers walk in and scan the place. "Uhh... Crap. Cops are here!" She reached down and began to grip her stuff. With her free hand she'd make a grip for her zeni and push it against Sorrel's lap. "Here you go! Thanks for the meal, guys; been fun! I gotta go, but you can give whatever extra in there to the waitress as tip! Rain check on donuts; definitely next time!" The woman hardly had a grip on all her stuff when a clear
"HEY! STOP!" Was heard from one of the officers.
Tanis bolted from the shop, tackling a few people out of her way.
"SUCK IT, NERDS!" Shouted Tanis back at the officers.
Tanis has left the building. I'll be taking some Zeni.[/font]

As Retsu declined the invitation in favor of tending to more important matters, Sorrel winced at the thought of his own to-do list. He resolved to cast away his responsibilities for the day in favor of enjoying more Earthling delicacies. However, Tanis soon vacated the table after throwing her money at Sorrel. He tilted his head, taking notice to the authorities that had spooked the girl. Her sudden eagerness to depart in spite of the plans she was clearly enthusiastic about suddenly made much more sense. He chuckled with a smirk as his eyes drifted to settle back upon the two individuals that the party had initially begun with. "Go figure. She was a fugitive! We should probably head out the back fugitive if you don't want to have your time wasted by these buffoons." His right hand balled into a fist, save for his thumb, as he pointed at the curtains in the rear. "This really was an experience, gentlemen. We should do it again sometime." He rose from his seat and tucked the money in his pocket, making note to hold onto it in case he ever met the crazy human once more. He then bowed to Retsu and Rafar. "The bill is taken care of, so leave at your leisure." Sorrel then departed, stopping only to flirt with the server and present her with her tip. Soon after, he disappeared behind the curtains in the back. ((Exit. Taking Zeni.))

The meal had ended faster than Rafar thought it would have. Retsu declined the doughnut invitation and Tanis bolted after hearing some men were looking for her, apparently the world's authorities were looking for her,"Knew something was off about her."
He turned to Sorrel after hearing he was also leaving, "Of course hopefully we'll meet again sometime, wouldn't mind another free meal if it was as good as this one," Rafar said jokingly as he followed the others out the door. It had gotten dark since they had entered the restaurant. Rafar waved to the others and began to fly west towards his temporary camp."See, you guys around!"
