[ He gives her a quick little smile before a bowl of ramen with vegetables and tofu amongst the noodles is placed before him. And a pair of... chopsticks. Equius sighs as he remembers that he's still terribly boorish with the things. Stall for time, go go go! ]
You mean to say that Hamuzou doesn't hun- [ Equius catches himself mid-word. The fauna of the Inaba area seems to be mostly domestic, similar to Aurthour, though they're hardly parental enough to be like a lusus. The majority of these domesticated creatures, called "pets", were fed and cared for by their owners. It was still quite a lot to get used to. ] -doesn't eat normal food for his kind? Or does he simply eat at the same time as you?
[ He puts his gaze onto Hamuzou, and then back onto his owner. back and forth and back and forth while he tries to hide his disgraceful fiddling with those chopsticks and while he tries to talk to keep their attention away from his grievous failure. ]
What sort of meals do you make for him? That sort of compassion for wildlife is hardly common, where I'm from.
[ Equius finally decides to answer the question about himself, and realizes that he simply cannot continue to hide his incompetence. So, he simply sighs. It was a rather long, strong sigh, as well, not something he was trying to hide. ]
I had come here for the challenge. I'm a man who enjoys games with high stakes, and I had assumed that this "Rainy Day Challenge" was quite notorious, based on the words of the commoners. When I learned that it was filled to the brim with animal meat, I simply couldn't follow through with it. Beasts are meant to be looked upon with adoration, not eaten. You were here with a predicament of your own, and I couldn't help but... meddle.
But now that I've gotten something to sate my own hunger, I find myself reduced to the level of the foulest of cretins, completely incapable of holding myself with the dignity required of me, all because of these blasted sticks!
[ The long-winded story-turned-tirade left him breathing rather heavily, with a look of growing rage on his face. Better do something quick before he breaks something! ]
omg sorry it's so huge i just kinda kept going for a while
