[ What well-behaved cats! ]

Mm. Things like stew and tonkatsu... I haven't had that much, though.

[ And now that he looks at the menu...he can't say he knows much about this. This must be one of those specialty shops... ]

...Have you tried this before?

[fontastically]

Does Japan exist where you come from, then?

[For some reason, Ion hasn't thought of the idea.]

No, not at all.

[But it isn't about to prevent him from ordering it.]

[third_liberator]

[ He shakes his head. ]

No. I thought it was just a descriptor...

[ Like "spicy" or "sauteed".

It doesn't matter to Tyr, really, if ion has had this or not. It just means they're both going into this blind. ]

Then let's hope it's good. Two orders for us, and...

[ It's too hot for tea. Oh wait, it's never too hot for tea. ]

Bubble tea.

[fontastically]

I suppose that makes sense...

[But how does one get 'Japanese' out of nowhere. Now he is confused with trying to figure out other times but he at least has time to ask for some steeped tea for himself.]

It's quite peaceful here.

[third_liberator]

Mm.

[ He looks around the restaurant for the first time, taking in the decor. ]

I can understand why you wanted to come here before...

[fontastically]

[Though there isn't much to see.]

...Next time we go out to eat I would like you to pick the restaurant.

[third_liberator]

[ Not at all. ]

I will. Maybe after training one day... [ He smiles a little. ] I know a few places here that are pretty good.

[fontastically]

Are they able to compare to Gremio's cooking in the slightest?

[third_liberator]

No matter what I answer, it might end up to Gremio, so... [ traaaailin- no just a pause ] ...you'll need to judge for yourself.

[fontastically]

[That's enough to get him to chuckle.]

Thank you for your honesty.

[Oh, look, food's here.]

[third_liberator]

[ Ion is the only one that laughs at Tyr's jokes. That in itself is really nice. ]

Anything for you.

[ Now for this...egg and mushroom thing. This is Japanese food too, huh? He pokes at it with his spoon. ]

[fontastically]

[There's a soft hum in response as Ion continues to smile.

For now, he sort of shifts the side of vegetables before scooping some up with some rice to eat. The soup is going to be allowed some cool down time before he decides to shove it into his mouth.]

After this, could I treat you to dessert?

[Vegetables make everyone think of dessert.]

[third_liberator]

As long as you're offering...

[ Ion was spoiling him now. Though Tyr assumed he was going to pay for his own entree, having Ion pay for their dessert still made Tyr feel like Ion was trying to spoil him.

He was a really good friend.

Tyr looked down at his soup, stirring it with his spoon, as his voice dropped a little lower. ]

...About what I said before...

[fontastically]

[He scooped up some more rice and vegetables to eat and chews with his mouth closed as he lifts his head to look at the other. There are many things that have been said today and even yesterday but with things growing quieter it feels as though it is being narrowed down to something.]

Yes...?

[third_liberator]

[ Still just playing with his food here. ]

People who have died before... I...thought of it a lot, and...I can't agree with what I said before... More than anything...they should be here.

[fontastically]

[He looks down at his own food for a brief moment.]

What if they have no desire to be here?

[third_liberator]

[ This wasn't something he originally wanted to discuss with Ion - and he hadn't wanted to ruin their lunch either - but he couldn't stop thinking of it lately. ]

That doesn't matter... Whether someone believes they're alive or not, they're still trapped here.

[fontastically]

That is true but it doesn't mean that they should be here, either.

[He tries to get himself to eat more rice.]

[third_liberator]

...

What I meant was...they should be here as much as anyone else does... Not that...

[ And he releases his spoon, and his hands fold themselves on his lap. ]

Sorry... This has to be pretty irritating...for you...

[fontastically]

[He looks out of the corner of his eye before lowering his own spoon.]

I imagine that you are much more frustrated than I am. You only want to make a point that the people who have passed only deserve to experience life for a little longer.

[third_liberator]

...Right. [ He doesn't sound entirely sure with that answer, but it's all he says as he continues looking down at the table but not even seeing it. ]

[fontastically]

Would you feel lonely without those people?

[third_liberator]

...

[ He's not answering that question, and that might as well be a "yes" for all intents and purposes. ]

I... It's also that...I've been wondering...Is anyone is alive? In...their own worlds...

[fontastically]

[He should have expected that.]

People do get sent home and return with memories so I imagine that many must still be alive.

[third_liberator]

Or they just regained their memories...
