[faithfulflame]

Well, that's good.

[She stifles a laugh with a bite of the stuff, and smiles wryly around her spoon.

It's good for you, Dipper. Even if it has 8 dangly parts.]

The rest of it's just cabbage, broth, and a few other vegetables and bits of pork.

[cryptologic]

[ nothing else as outlandish as squid, then. that's probably for the best. there's only so many surprises dipper can take in his food. ]

Does this mean I need to, like...make you a hamburger now? Or a pizza? Pancakes?

[faithfulflame]

No, that's alright.

[Rei sips at her tea, head waving side to side.]

I just thought it'd be nice to bring you something while I'm in this cooking mood. Whatever's leftover you can reheat in a microwave.

[cryptologic]

[ sweet. that means he can go several meals without making microwave burritos! maybe he can learn to cook a little more by the time the sukiyaki runs out - he'd already picked up a little from when mabel was here.

there's reminders of her in everything, and there always would be. he'd just have to get used to that. ]

Suit yourself. I'm still searching for the best pizza in the city, anyway.

[faithfulflame]

Well, I can at least point you to the best restaurant in the city, if you like.

[That would be Archer's place...]

[cryptologic]

That might be helpful. Where is it?

[ if they do takeout, maybe he can even pick up a deliver gig while he's there...look at him, being entrepreneurial. ]

[faithfulflame]

It's called Golden Archer's. Ah...a man named Archer runs it.

[Obviously named for him.]

It's [Here are some directions that Ax does not know but Rei does by heart...]

[cryptologic]

[ what a creative name. wait...like arches? ]

Gotcha. Do they have Big Macs there? [ he just has to ask. ]

[faithfulflame]

Ah. No.

[Sorry. McCeres does.]

[cryptologic]

Juuuuust checking.

[ then he goes silent as he takes another bite of food. ]

[faithfulflame]

Just mention you're my friend, and Archer might even be friendlier than normal.

[She laughs around her chopsticks, because she's not sure even that could make him loosen up. hah.]

[cryptologic]

[ after he chews and swallows this time: ] Is he...normally not so friendly?

[faithfulflame]

He's...gruff. Well meaning, but gruff. Like an irritable grandfather.

[cryptologic]

[ souuuuunds familiar. ] Or a Grunkle.

[faithfulflame]

A Grunkle?

[This sounds vaguely troll-like...]

[cryptologic]

Oh. [ right. he forgets that's not the most common thing. ] A great uncle.

[faithfulflame]

Ah. Right.

[A thing she does not have, nor wish to have...]

Archer's a bit like that though, I'd guess. But he means well. as I said.

[cryptologic]

[ dipper gets TWO of them. isn't he so lucky??? ]

Hey, as long as he doesn't wear gold chains or make me forge money, I think I can handle him.
