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...

[Shiki reaches over for a tomato, getting food for an upcoming picnic.]

Uh...excuse me.

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

Ah-!

I'm terribly sorry! *She jerks away and bows*

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

Whoa, whoa! There was no harm done!

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

*Iroha's head is still down, not wanting to make eye contact*

Please, you may have it. I can choose a different tomato.

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

When you act like that, I'm definitely can't do what you say.

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

B-but...

*She looks up carefully*

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

...please?

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.-

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

I... I couldn't... Please, it is yours.

[grabbing your basket]

Let me help you out. What else are you getting?

*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*

*Now Iroha's stunned by the young man's insistence. Yes, letting someone else do the shopping is a foreign concept to the poor maid*

I... You don't have to...

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

It's too late. I've already started.

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

*She nods sheepishly*

I-I was looking for fresh vegetables so I can make a salad.

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

I guess tomatoes are a good start.

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

I did not see any sprouts, either. Or garlic for the dressing I was going to make.

[unless-itsafarm.livejournal.com]

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

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

You're probably looking for the wrong thing.

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

Thank you...

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

Oh? What do you mean?

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

Are you used to looking for fresh things?

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

*She smiles and nods*

Only the best! I would like to make something to go with the salad, but I have yet to find where they sell the meats.

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

There's a problem. In this country, it can be hard to by some stuff fresh so you have to buy it packaged up.

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

Packaged food? Like in a bag to take home?

It's still fresh, right?

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

It's a little hard to describe. It's probably been picked days ago but it still looks and tastes fresh because of chemicals or something.
