001 -- HIGH QUALITY CUISINE
Who: Vanitas and Ahiru
What: high quality cuisine
When: Who knows
Where: An nondescript café or restaurant
Why: Your guess is as good as mine.
[you know, Vanitas can't remember much about the days and moments before he left Siren's Port-- nor can he particularly remember much about it at all, save for a few familiar faces and voices.]
[one thing he does remember, however, is his penchant for a certain type of food, of the empanada persuasion. that's why he's slunk out of whatever hole he was hiding in to the closest restaurant that serves them.]
[the glass door slams behind him as he leaves with his prize in hand, pulling away the wrapping and foil to his lunch, content as a dark creature like him is capable of being.]

After a moment, she starts to hurry after him. That's what friends do! Luckily for both of them, she hasn't noticed exactly what it is he's holding.]
Vanitas?
no subject
[did you just call us FRIENDS, Ahiru?]
[he stops, turns his head slightly toward her, teeth tearing away the edge of the empanada. his stare is icy, and his expression is pretty obviously asking, "What do you want?"]
no subject
When did you get back? I was really worried something might have happened! Are you okay? Nothing bad happened, right?
[...And then.]
What are you eating?
no subject
[still, that last question he actually will answer. completely deadpan, too.]
Empanada.
no subject
But clearly the best plan of action is to ask him more questions.]
What's an empanada?
no subject
[Vanitas turns to fully face her, extending the wrapped empanada slightly in her direction.]
Fried dough with filling. I always get them with different kinds of meat.
no subject
There's really meat in it?
no subject
Mm. This one has duck.

Qua-!
DONE
this is everything i have ever wanted
Watch it. [he tips his head in the direction of the restaurant, his expression sour.] You can get your own right over there, go on.
it's the most beautiful reunion!!!
[Okay, you know what. Plan one has failed. Plan two is attempting to tackle him, which may or may not end in her missing and falling pathetically on her face. (This would be pretty typical for her life.) But either way, she's now launching herself towards him at full force. So much is at stake here!!]
I MISSED YOU SM AHIRU
[so now Vanitas has a duck-turned-tiny-human sort of clinging... to him. his arms are outstretched, the offending empanada now squashed between his gloved fingers... and judging by his expression-- the eyebrows knitted together, the outright snarl-- he is about to blow a gasket.]
no subject
There has never been a time she wished more intently that she weighed more.
But yeah, she's just going to melt into a puddle of awkward right about now. She's too mortified to stand, so she rapidly lets go and slides to the ground. Once she's there, she's going to scoot away from him. Very stealthily. See icon.]
no subject
[not at first.]
[then he starts walking in Ahiru's direction, boots thudding loudly against the pavement. the sound may as well be firecrackers setting off with each step.]
Why don't you buy a replacement. I might forget what you just did. [emphasis on the "might."]
no subject
No!
no subject
[matching her pace!! THERE'S NO ESCAPE.]
no subject
I don't have any money. [Unspoken, but still evident: "And I'm not scared of you."]
no subject
If you can't replace what you ruined, then I get to choose your punishment.

What is this, then?

What do you have against duck?
no subject
I don't have anything against them, that's why you shouldn't it! They're living and breathing and they shouldn't have to die just so you can have lunch!
no subject
Right. I'm going to go get another one.
no subject
No!
no subject
Let go, Ahiru.
no subject
grab on with the other hand as well
and dig her heels into the ground.]
You can't!
no subject
no subject
And just giving him. The biggest. Puppy eyes. Which won't be effective at all because it's him, but hey, she tried!]
no subject
[sense, Ahiru. you make none.]
You're going to destroy every empanada I buy, aren't you?
no subject
no subject
[dear heavens above Vanitas is conceding??]
i feel like this is the most beautiful thing i've ever played out
