Vega
"Ah, my tastes... they're a bit embarrassing actually, it's kind of vexing." He looked away with a tiny blush. "I like to think my tastes are pretty normal for my age though..." He toyed a bit with his hair, grinning like a kid on a date - before gulping down another shot of sake. If she thought he was going to lag behind, she was sorely mistaken, and he'd show her just how serious he was about this whole thing.
And speaking of which, the timing was just perfect. The waitress soon came to the table with the massive platter carried along with a cart, a blood-red concoction practically still boiling with 100 spices, each more intense than the last. Looking at the seafood and vegetables sunken into the deep crimson oils, their fragrance was nearly as striking as its appearance. It was as if they were looking at a bunch of food simmering in a volcano!
Vega's eyes turned all kinds of starry, and he genuinely jumped up in a bit of excitement, holding himself still by the knees.
"Uwaaaaa~! It's the especially spicy deluxe Jiu Gon Ge hot pot! Simmered with a base of specially selected organic spices, grown specifically for their tangy undertones and deep intense spiciness! Even a small local restaurant like this became known in the underworld for creating such a dish, its spicyness is downright brutal!"
It looked and smelled like a fiery death, the murder of 10 000 incinerated young fish. It was lovely.
...He soon composed himself, coughing aloofly before looking away at the opposite direction.
"Um, if you want, you can have the first bite. I'll feel bad if I hog the whole flavor of this legendary dish. I will not be told I am not generous."
He was practically salivating.
Lily "There's something missing." The redhead looked upon the served dish with abject disappointment even though she took his suggestion to heart and went for the first bite.
She was correct, there was indeed something missing here.
"You really think this is especially spicy? It's just a regular meal."
She'd just taken a bite into the volcanic pit of destruction without hesitation, and nothing had happened. Not on the first bite that was, she gulped down some more sake in between going for more. That's when her warning came true.
With each bite their seat got hotter and hotter, all her doing of course. She wiggled atop his lap as her engines got going. It wouldn't be wrong to say that she was grinding her fat butt against him, because that's exactly what she was doing. The more she ate and the more she drank the shorter her breath got and the warmer her body became.
"There's nothing embrassing about liking something this refreshing!" She was beaming in joy, it was definitely the happiest she'd hecer been in his company.
