"If you could mix me a cup of Spirite and any alcohol that'd be great." Tanis mentioned, "Get me some mozzarella sticks and a cheese burger too please." Tanis gave the zoanthrope a faint smile and a nod. "I bet the food here will be real quick." She assured the little man.
A small time passed and she turned in her stool lightly to EGG, "Hey, have you ever had mozzarella sticks? You really should try and taste some of mine when they get here." She explained, "Of all the things I've tasted in this planet they have to be at the very top of the list in terms of 'yum'."
The mercenary leaned against the bar, feeling a bit unrest even though no time at all had passed since the the order had been made.

"Momazilla Ticks?" Egg would repeat back in a curious tone, accidentally butchering another one of those universal language words that people spoke. It would scratch its chin as it would look around, noticing that people were glancing over at him every so often. It did not really bother him all too much as he was getting more and more used to it, but at the same time it was something that always happens in public.
Paying them no mind, he would shrug and started to want to know more about this Tanis as a person. Sure she is a person who likes to eat and be around friends, while being a cool swords woman all at the same time. Egg knew little beyond this however, and had to push himself to ask a small question.
"So... What you like? I mean, what you into? I myself am fan of hero shows and sentai flicks. The way that day is saved by normal people is so good to me."

Tanis remained facing EGG, leaning against the bar while the question was posed. "What do I like?" She wondered, not really giving it much thought. "Mozarella sticks, for one... Well, I like a lot of things Earth has to offer. My planet was just desert and ruins, so... I didn't really grow up knowing a lot aside from that. I suppose I'm still figuring out what I like." Tanis spoke as clearly as she could, trying to keep any emotions out of her voice. This wasn't the place to get TOO personal, after all.

Although Egg was not entirely the smartest or knowledgeable person in the world, he instantly picked up on something odd that she said. Apparently, from what Tanis had said, she was not from this planet, even though she seemed identical to any other human he had met. Tanis' past was much more mysterious than she let on, which was hidden very well underneath her semi happy-go-lucky attitude.
Egg would remain silent, unsure of whether or not it should ask the question, Egg would stare at its lap, twiddling its fingers in an uncomfortable manner. It had not wanted to upset her in any way nor make her feel sad, but at the same time his curiositydefinitely needed to be satiated in this case. Taking a deep breath, Egg would take the plunge as he dared to ask Tanis, "Hope no mind asking... What you mean by your planet? You human not from Earth?"

"No, I don't mind." Tanis said blandly, though she turned herself fully towards the bar, eyes looking about the stock of booze while she spoke, elbows pressing to the wooden bar as she supported herself. "Yeah, human. I don't know a lot about the history, mostly because by the time I was born everything had gone to shit. I don't know why humans had colonized the planet, but I assume it has something to do with the resources there. They were valuable enough to warrant an attack from some Arcosian douche bags."
Tanis' voice was even — too even. She often spoke with ups and downs to reflect her attitude, but this monologue was completely stoic.
She reached into her mouth and pulled out the gum she'd been chewing for a while. It'd lost its flavor. She stuck it underneath the stool while no one was looking. Well, save EGG, she assumed.
She waited, giving him time to ask anymore question. If none came her own voice would come up again, her gaze peeking down to him from over her her arms. "What about you? I don't know much about you aside from your name and you love what I'm guessing is a superhero show."

Egg sat there as he kept his gaze locked onto Tanis as he listened to her story. It was really heart breaking in the sense that Tanis apparently lost all emotion and joy that she had in her voice only minutes ago. Now replaced by this monotone voice which recounted a tale which brought deep sadness upon his human friend. She apparently lived on a different planet until some sort of terrorists attacked the planet and made her life a living hell. Times like these remind him why there needs to be heroes around, heroes to stop such villains.
There was a bit of silence as Tanis would stick a piece of EGG underneath the table, before the woman would bring up another topic to the pink and blue saibaman. Tanis asked the same question the alien had asked her, except now directed at him. Well, not the exact same question, but was also about how Egg became the person he was today.
Taking a deep breath, Egg would explain himself to her, starting with, "Being Honest... That really all about me. I grew from ground and live among animal for one or two day, before finding cabin in wood. Open door and find old man, who I helped back into chair. He apparently destroy ship which held seed, but that no matter. I live with man for one earth year, before he pass away from sickness due to ship destruction. Over year there, he shown me love of Hero movies and gave me name. After death, I do nothing except eat and watch hero shows, almost for whole year. After that, I went to village and caused accident, and stay there for weeks, but left after defeating saiyan who attack town. After that, I happen to meet you when fighting monster."
Smiling, he would say with some melancholy, "Although still sad he not here no more, Me no regret one thing."

Tanis listened to what he said. She empathized deeply with the idea of losing someone and wishing they were still there. There was a little touch and pull deep in her gut; her throat felt bitter. Oh, great. This emotion again. Tanis cleared her throat, tugging at the necklace that seemed to grow heavier thanks to EGG's story. It didn't seem like the hero had been around all that long.
As if right on cue the food arrived. All at once. Tanis' meal was placed in front of her, and EGG's was as well; a bowl of mozzarella sticks between them with a side of sauce for dipping. Tanis arm reached out, bringing the ketchup and mustard close to herself. She pulled the top of her burger before dowsing it with the two condiments to the point a normal person would ask 'is she eating a burger with ketchup and mustard, or ketchup and mustard with a burger?'. Salt and pepper she pulled from her pants pocket was soon added to the mix
Tanis spoke, a strangeness about her voice; a mix of sadness and appetite . "Cheers." Right a free hand she took a hold of her glass — filled to the brim with ice and soda, and gave a little 'dink' against the Saibaman's.
Mutual agreement to bring thread to an organic end here.
Zeni for me.
EGG will take Power Level.
