[wincon]

would you rather find out with the birdbucks barista?

[edelstein]

Fine if you want me to lie so bad make it a date.

[wincon]

you wanna fight me again?

[edelstein]

It would probably be very satisfying to push you into the ground.

[wincon]

a normal date then
how about dinner

[edelstein]

I'm broke, but... I do have two vouchers for the Red Cardinal. We can use that?

[wincon]

I can pay, if you're fine with the food hall

[edelstein]

I got the vouchers as a birthday present from someone who will probably be offended if I don't use them.

[wincon]

they gave it to you and didn't go with you?

[ isn't that kind of thing where someone usually says "let's go together~"? ]

[edelstein]

Well, I think he has a boyfriend. So it makes sense.

[wincon]

funny

[ unless she's found yet another person who won't sleep around, as he doesn't think she's getting any presents from a certain idol. ]

fine, if you're that committed to spending them on a date.

[edelstein]

[Dabi is the one who gave her the vouchers...]

We both really aren't in a position to pass up "free" so let's do it.

[wincon]

[ maybe he didn't go to dinner with her for another reason... ]

I'm not rich, but I have money

[edelstein]

FINE IF YOU WANT TO PAY FOR A DEAD GIRL'S MEAL I'LL LET YOU

[wincon]

[ why does she sound mad... ]

is that something to capslock about?

[edelstein]

It's to illustrate my frustration because text doesn't have TONE.

[wincon]

it's better if I foot the bill and you can save the vouchers to use later

[ it'll stretch her non-existent money further? ]

[edelstein]

You're right. I'll just have to repay you when I've got money again.

[wincon]

if that's what you want

[edelstein]

Why wouldn't you want to be treated back?

[wincon]

I want to be treated just cuz

[edelstein]

Oh.








I'll remember that.

[wincon]

sure

[ he doesn't think he's ever really suggested otherwise. ]

I'll be at the entrance to the food hall at 7

[edelstein]

[No, it's more like she'll remember he'd want to be treated out of nowhere. He'd like to have a surprise. He'd like to be pampered for no other reason than just that someone was thinking of him... That's how she takes it.]

Okay, see you there.

[ She's not wrong: what he would value most is having his needs and comfort being anticipated and met without needing to be said. Not exactly to be waited on hand-and-foot, but the mythical condition of so-called "having someone look out for you."

In any case, as arranged, they'll be wandering into Early Bird Hall at around the designated time. Tomura is dressed as usual, hair loose, black-on-black athleisure wear—the comfortable and baggy sort, unlike the skin-tight clothing offered during Sports Week. ]

What do you want to eat?

[ Being dinnertime, they've found themselves in a small rush of guests; maybe he should've pushed it later, but he doesn't know if Tohsaka is the type to eat on schedule. At the very least, it means virtually no shop would be closed at this time, leaving a vast swathe of bustling option sprawling out before them. ]
