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...

*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.*

-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.-

*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.
