Things I am getting enough of to share. French fries are sliced fried potatoes and onion rings are...rings of onion, also fried. I try to eat healthy, okay, but if I'm here I'm gonna eat fried food!
I don't think I've had either of these things. [ She looks curious, though. ] And I'm sure one night of indulgence wouldn't be the worst thing. Sometimes it's very warranted.
...Is that something that has to be... 'watched' in your world?
[ What a strange concept.
But she does pause to peruse the menu, glancing over the food and drink descriptions. She recognizes a few she'd tried before down at the bar Caster favors and her eyes light up when she spots one of them - among the appetizers of course. ]
Oh! They have the soft pretzel-things here with cheese. Have you ever tasted that before? It's amazing.
Yes! We can split those, and the fries and onions if you'd like? And I think I want this berry drink, that's the one you mentioned earlier, isn't it? [ It is very pink, he wasn't wrong. ]
If you have to be careful, I can help you watch your... weight? I guess? Does it change very quickly? [ She leans over to give his stomach a skeptical look. She has no idea what he's concerned about - he's all lithe and slim and muscular. ]
[ She's really not sure it's supposed to be as extreme as that? He sounds fairly miserable about it, actually. ]
If it makes you feel better, we could go for a walk after we eat? [ If these drinks didn't prove too potent... ] Or maybe in the morning? I don't want you to be worried about having fun tonight.
[ What strange names things in his homeworld had. ]
Oh, but there's regular ranch here, though, right? [ She glances down at the assembled sauces he'd brought along, trying to remember which one that had been. ] Couldn't you just make it spicy?
Nah, it's not the same if the spices aren't in there when they're making it. It's like trying to add salt to something after it's cooked--you can, sure, but it'll still taste different than if you had it from the start.

Watch my... what? What does that mean? [ The concept is completely foreign to her. ]
And yes, drinks would be nice.
no subject
[Anyway.]
See anything interesting?

[But at the mention of soft pretzels, his eyes light up.]
Uh, yes? They're good with ranch--uh, a type of dressing, too. Wanna get some?

It is. And it sounds like we're both very much in need of it.

[And off he goes, tail wagging, to get their drinks and food. It takes him a minute, but soon enough--]
Here we go, two drinks and all the onion rings and french fries I could carry!

When he comes back, she's still watching him, chin propped in her palm and a grin on her lips. ]
Oooh, those look delicious! Thank you, Prompto!
no subject
[Excuse Prompto as he goes on a full "here's the best way to eat fries and onion rings" speech because he's a dork.]
--and of course you can just eat them plain, but why would you?
no subject
...And also because he was still adorable when he got really excited about things. ]
So what is your favorite way, then? [ she teases him after his final emphatic statement. ]
no subject
[He grins, grabbing a fry and dipping it in one of the various sauces he'd grabbed.]
Dig in!

I wonder if it's very hard to make from scratch, then? So you can add the spices when you need to?
