Nah. I mean, they're not bad, I played one once, but mostly sports. I'm a fencer, and football's always fun--

[But that's a fact, he realizes belatedly. Kakyoin likes video games, and he's honestly a little surprised. Hm. He glances over at him, eyes flicking over his face, trying to read any kind of emotion there.]

Like what kind? And don't say educational or some shit like that, I mean a real game.

[trivialpursuit]

So that's what you think of me, is it?

[wao... this burn... he may reek of big nerd, but please, he only nerds out for Castlevania II. But it doesn't look like he's any more annoyed than his usual, constant background radiation of annoyed at the world-slash-afterlife, so this is practically banter.]

But no, of course not. I have actual skill. How would you know what a real video game is, anyway? [ya jock]

[silvercrusader]

I think you could have any kind of fashion in the whole wide world and you still stick with that uniform.

[Not that he necessarily minds.]

You should show me one, then, Mr. Cocky. You better be able to back up your bragging, though-- I'm not gonna go easy on you just cuz I got better reflexes.

[trivialpursuit]

[Wow.... 2??? He glances down at himself, like hm, yes, he is indeed wearing this uniform for the rest of time. Isn't it easier this way? Hmph.]

It's comfortable. [ANYway—] Don't think I'll let you win just because you're an amateur. There are a couple games back at my house.

[They're not the best and he's politely requested better ones that are somehow stuck in transit despite this being Literal Heaven, but whatever! That's mostly an offer. Okay it is an offer, but--]

But you said you had some kind of surprise.

[silvercrusader]

We're almost there. You're that impatient?

[It's not a point at all, but still he grins like it might be.]

[trivialpursuit]

Yes.

[Gaze...... Well, he can't possibly do something like admit that spending time with Polnareff this time is actually kind of pleasant, so.]

Generously, I'm curious.

[silvercrusader]

Generously.

[RUDE, but whatever, they're almost there. And where there is . . . is a restaurant. A ramen shop, actually, because Polnareff is too white to be too adventurous with fish. Did this used to be a salad bar? Yes. But whatever, Janet was fine with changing it temporarily, so here they are.

But he's found he likes ramen, and ramen is from Japan, so . . . maybe it's kinda nice, to have a taste from home. Not just the food, but the environment, the architecture of the building . . . home can be a lot of things.]

C'mon, you can show me how to use chopsticks.

[trivialpursuit]

[Oh, white boy... at least he's cute. Dimly Kakyoin realizes this is a shop that wasn't there before, which is a gesture, but ohhh, white boy.

Sure, though. Ramen works.]

Watch you embarrass yourself, you mean? [Ha ha, that's the goal. But he's feeling pretty amenable to it, surprisingly, so boldly he slips his arm through Polnareff's to tug him into the shop like it wasn't Polnareff's idea in the first place.] Come on.
