[IS THAT REALLY FINE. Even Kashuu looks mildly surprised... What is he, friends with a bunch of robbers??]
Mm, yeah. Scouting's probably the best first step... That way, we know where all the exits are and can pick the one that's gonna attract the least attention!
[All this for a loaf of bread bowl of shitty seafood hotpot.]
[yeah, the worst part about all of this is the fact that stahn doesn't disagree. they truly need a proper voice of reason to tell them both that they're being morons.
but there's no dymlos and no leon, so naturally, they're just going to be themselves a little too much and earnestly pursue terrible life choices.
mistakes.
so many mistakes are being made right now, and will continue to be made until they realize how moeronic they're being.]
It didn't really work last time, so I guess we should try it the other way.
[Instead of having a voice of reason on board they just have an echochamber of dumb ideas... They're doing their best(??????) but sometimes that's not enough. Sometimes it's worse than doing nothing at all, honestly.
ANYWAY.]
O-kay! [Giving their bucket one last check...] I guess asking about clams and crabs first is the most important thing, but we lost a few of the crabs back there...
[Muffled sounds of poor innocent bystanders getting pinched and scuttled across at the restaurant they ditched, probably.]
You ready to go yet, or d'you need a little more time?
No rush, no rush! It's not like the restaurants are going anywhere.
[But the police might be coming to find them soon, depending on whether or not they continue being menaces?! How could one well-intentioned plan go so terribly, terribly wrong...]
I heard humans can like, die from overheating too, so maybe we should pick a route that needs as little running as possible.
[lort help them both if the police come for their asses. stahn's already been arrested once, technically...
he probably doesn't need to do that again, especially since he'd probably compliment the cops about how cool they are.]
I don't think I'll die... [HE HOPES? but thanks for being so considerate, kashuu, honestly.] Probably? I've never heard of anyone dying from that, but it's not really hot where I come from, either.
[STAHN STOP HANGING OUT WITH HOOLIGANS and stealing priceless artifacts... And also complimenting cops, don't do that especially when they're arresting you!!]
It's not super hot here either, at least... Right? [HE'S NOT SURE he was forged in a fire?! What even is hot weather.]
Mm... It's not too bad! It's pretty hot, but in a good "beach weather!" kind of way. It's nothing like being in the desert though... that was tough.
[a lie.
the worst is when he has to be in the cold and snow, he's terrible with that. then again—]
I guess I'm pretty used to heat too, though! Fire, and everything... [swordian master of fire, dealing with heat all the time is kind of his bread and butter anyway... is the only element he specializes in, aside from a few wind skills.]
Mm... I don't mind beachy! But I think my favorite is when it's just warm and breezy. That's what it's like in Leane, and it's always the best!
[the best equivalent is probably a sunny, breezy day in mid-late spring, but weather works so differently where he's from that there's really no solid seasonal comparison to make here.]
[Nodding along! He can get behind mild, agreeable weather... That's probably true for all swords though, honestly, since none of them know how to deal with summer heat or winter chill.
Shaking the bucket of crabs a little...]
I wonder if these guys like hot or cold weather better? Cold beaches are pretty gross.
[CLOSE ENOUGH it's a snowy place!! Might as well be Antarctica! Alaska starts with the same letter anyway, that's practically a duplicate of the place.]
Maybe... I kinda wanna try one now just to see what all the fuss is about. Maybe it's not actually good at all, y'know? Kinda like sharkfin soup.
It's not good! Definitely not good. If you have enough money to spend on stuff like that, you might as well just buy a nice Kobe beef steak or something, y'know? That's way better.
[A DECISIVE NOD as if he has ever in his life eaten Kobe beef in any form?? He's great at talking about things he knows nothing about.]
Same, same. There's something about money that just makes people weird.
[please, kashuu. tell stahn about actual good things he will want to eat and perhaps salivate over after the horrors of gloopy jelly soup.]
I think you're right though. About people with money, I mean! A lot of them are nice, but they like some really weird things that I don't really get at all...
[but hey, stahn's a hick. what does he know about anything at all?]
[He's like an in-person version of when you go on youtube food binges at 3am, just here to lovingly describe all kinds of delicious foods that THEY CAN'T EAT.]
It's beef, but like, super good. Really, really tender! The fat's all marbled in perfectly and people train their whole careers to be able to cook it right. It's totally melt-in-your-mouth.
[This 100% kobe beef expert...]
When rich people buy stuff like that, that's something I can understand, at least.

[okay, the real question is why the fuck does stahn even know phrases like that. when.
he's stahn.

Okay! Let's do that then... hopefully we won't need to escape though. But at least we'll be ready if we do!
[if dymlos was here right now, they'd both be getting scolded pretty hardcore for this stupidity, honestly.]
no subject
(Where is Dymlos to save them.)
Anyway this idiot's just nodding like this is a great idea. It is not. It's not a great idea at all and Kashuu needs to take a nap away from the sun.]
Right, right! Maybe we should just walk in this time? Knocking was the problem last time, so...
[NO IT WASN'T.]

no subject
[though really, that's more of an idle thought than anything else.
especially considering the fact that no matter what they do, it's not going to be good or edible anyway.
this is a completely doomed mission.]
I'm okay! I just needed a second... I didn't think I'd have to run so much today! [stahn is entirely too fine with this.
someone help him.]

no subject
[though that's also because the makeup of his world is different. "snow crab" is probably a concept that would astound him.]
no subject
There are snow crabs! They live in places like... eh, Antarctica or something.
[So close... So close, and yet so far.]
I think people like their meat even more than the crabs you can get around hot places... Or they're always way more expensive, anyway.
no subject
[because honestly.
crabs!! in the snow!!
never mind the fact that he really knows nothing about antarctica to tell kashuu that he's not quite right here.]
no subject
Maybe... I kinda wanna try one now just to see what all the fuss is about. Maybe it's not actually good at all, y'know? Kinda like sharkfin soup.
no subject
Sharkfin... soup? [that's a thing?]
no subject
Yeah, sharkfin soup! It's like a weird status symbol thing. Rich people like it 'cause it costs so much but it's just a goopy jelly mess.
no subject
which is inevitable, but they've yet to actually reach that point.]
It sounds cool until you say what it's actually like. I like to try most things once, but I don't know if I could handle goopy, jelly... sharkfin....

[stahn's stomach definitely makes the most ungodly sound just hearing that.]
That sounds really amazing! If rich people buy it, it must be expensive, but that sounds amaaaaazing!
[stahn, the simplest bean on the planet.]
