You'll do fine, dear. No need to worry about anything. I'm sure you'll manage to get through just fine with a little bit of faith.

Would it help if I made you something to eat? Dumplings maybe? I know how you like them, considering all the ones you stole off your friends plate in the diner. Yes, I saw that, shame on you.

At least you paid half the bill.

What is this place you're looking at now? Ink City? Well if you think it's a good fit, I certainly won't tell you what to do. Go on, you focus on getting your application done, you know where I'll be if you need me, dear.

Just relax and let things flow, it'll come to you.

You know, I've always been of the opinion that a friend's food is fair game if they don't stab yah with a fork.

[westeast]

Well she would have been within her right, she did pay for the food after all.

[notbloodylikely]

Yeah. 'course it goes the other way too. If you can't forgive 'em jabbing yah with a utensil, you probably ain't that close, heh.

[westeast]

It would only hurt for a moment, I'm sure she wouldn't hold it against her. But stealing food is such a bad habit to get into.

[notbloodylikely]

Not! ... If you can get away with it.

[westeast]

It leave a tainted conscience. Other people need that food too, and it was theirs to begin with.

Why steal it when you could get more for yourself honestly?

[notbloodylikely]

Dunno. See the look on their faces, increase the net value of charity in the universe? Asides, ain't technically theft of the victim retroactively consents. Such as by not giving you a sharp poke with a stick.

[westeast]

Just because someone is too polite to hit you doesn't mean they don't disapprove.

[notbloodylikely]

In the eyes of the law it does,

[westeast]

We aren't talking about the law, we're talking about common courtesy.

[notbloodylikely]

Not very common between buddies. Dunno, maybe it's a man thing.

[westeast]

My sons are civilized and do not steal food off their brothers plate.

So it may be more of your thing. For shame.

[notbloodylikely]

...

[Oh.

Well now he's just looks depressed.]

[westeast]

Ni de mu xiangdao shen ni zhidao zai.

You're a grown man for goodness sake.

[notbloodylikely]

That may be, but I am attempting to retain a boyish charm.

[westeast]

[Siiiiigh]

Then take up a sport. Other than stealing food from your friends.

[notbloodylikely]

[He stares for a moment, then chuckles. His voice isn't very deep, but his laugh is very, very deep.]

You're alright, honey.

[westeast]

[She really should be offended at being called honey. Buuuut-]

I would like to think I am. Ponder on your morals the next time you sit down for a meal.

[notbloodylikely]

Sure! I'll... Ruminate on the subject.

[He is so proud of that pun.]

[westeast]

As well you should.

[Sorry, no puns accepted here!]

Unless you plan on paying for the entire meal.

[notbloodylikely]

Depends on who I'm eating with, as a rule.

[westeast]

If you plan on eating their food, you should plan on paying for it.

[notbloodylikely]

Well, I ain't touching a lady's plate unless she lets me, but when it's my guy buddies we make a war of it. It's fun!

[westeast]

It's fun.

[Boys.]

I suppose I should be thankful you leave a lady's plate be.

[notbloodylikely]

And most of the time I'm paying for it too, if that buys me any points.
