2nd Meal Served [Action]

[yuzuru_no_mai]

*In a fit of curiosity (and a lack of fresh produce in the fridge), Iroha cautiously leaves her house. She's looking a bit lost as she walks and walks... until she reaches what appears to be the General Store. Relieved, she walks inside and...

She's a little overwhelmed. Iroha takes a basket and begins shopping, her eyes wide with shock over how much variety there is. As she examines a stack of tomatoes, she can't help feeling a little self-conscious. Her usual outfit has been replaced with a more conservative dress, yet it still doesn't hide her... generous curves. She tries to shake those thoughts and goes back to the fruits and veggies*

These will be perfect for a fresh salad...

The peppers here are too tasteless! You can't make a decent sauce with any of it! -Soldier grimaces, examining a back of bell peppers for his BBQ sauce he's working on. He has not yet noticed Iroha because he's too damn focused on PEPPERS.-

*Iroha looks over to see a rather large man yelling at the peppers. She's not sure what to do other to ignore him and pretend she's not hearing the ranting. She tries to slip by him unnoticed, as the carrots are right next to the peppers*

Oh, pardon me ma'am. Lemme get outta your- -And then he gets a good look at her.- ...way

*Iroha politely bows to the man and walks past him, examining the carrots*

Thank you...

-She is, without a doubt, the most beautiful woman that Soldier has ever beheld in all his life. And she bowed to him. Pardon him while he stammers for a bit.-

I, erm, I... you... Do you need any help, ma'am?

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

*She doesn't look at him directly. Her cheeks are a little flushed, mostly due to her embarrasment.*

Do you know where I can find the cabbage?

[unless-itsafarm.livejournal.com]

Oh it's right over here on the other side, ma'am. Here, lemme take you there.

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay...

*She lets the man take the lead, following in silence as she looks at the other vegetables.*

[unless-itsafarm.livejournal.com]

-Soldier leads her around the display to the greener vegetables. Here we are, cabbage!-

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

*Ah, they were near veggies she hasn't seen before. She smiles and bows to Soldier*

Thank you for helping me find them, ah...

*She's still not looking him in the eye*

[unless-itsafarm.livejournal.com]

You can call me, Ron, ma'am. Might I have the honor of your name?

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

Iroha. It is a pleasure to meet you, Ron-san.

[unless-itsafarm.livejournal.com]

Pleasure's all mine, Ms. Iroha. -Be still his beating heart.-

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

*At least he's a lot friendlier when he's not screaming at vegetables. She smiles and decides not to ask about it. Of course, that leaves an uncomfortable silence between them*

Ah... this place is so odd.

[unless-itsafarm.livejournal.com]

-By the rockets' red glare, she was so damn pretty.-

Well, Ms. Iroha, that's because it's nothing but a pack of lies. The food's real enough though. Just don't drink the milk.

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

Lies?

What's wrong with the milk? I thought it made you stronger.

[unless-itsafarm.livejournal.com]

This is not MY America, Ms. Iroha. This is some kind of confangled and sadistic PARODY of all that's good and right in the world. Between you and me, I think that's the point.

And the milk is poison.

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

Orihara-san did mention we were in America, but it is much different than what I imagined. It's quite advanced for such a young country.

Ohhh... I will avoid it, then.

[unless-itsafarm.livejournal.com]

Trust me, Ms. Iroha, I'd show you the REAL good ol U.S. of A if I could.

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

I would like to see it someday. After what Galford-san and Andrew-san told me, it sounds beautiful.

[unless-itsafarm.livejournal.com]

-Incoming cheese line in 3, 2, ...-

As beautiful as you are, Ms. Iroha.

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

*Have a smile and blush, Soldier. Iroha brings her hand up and covers her mouth*

Ah... You're too kind, Ron-san...

[unless-itsafarm.livejournal.com]

Too kind are two words no one ever uses to describe me, Ms. Iroha. I'm just an honest man.

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

*She's still blushing away*

Thank you for helping me. Once I get used to my new kitchen, I will cook something for you.

[unless-itsafarm.livejournal.com]

I would be honored.
