[ He wanted to joke here about ayakashi blight and them all being in danger but... there is time and place for jokes. This might not be the best moment, because he doesn't want to seem that he's brushing her off ]

I'm more... concerned then strictly in danger. And there is always possibility they get here as shinki..

[ a pause because he realizes he's being vague as shit and it's not helping his case ]

There is seven of us in total. I arrived with two others so I was willing to brush it off as accident but now fourth one appeared.

I'm just covering my bases. [ since the possibility of getting a full set is now looking real. ]

[sing_for_me]

Eh? People you know from your world are here?

[Did that mean there's a chance it wouldn't just be Nicolas appearing..? Still, Nic was only one person. She can't imagine how she'd feel if three people she knew appeared here, especially as shinkis.]

Alright, I keep a lookout and let you know if I meet any of them.

[futhark]

I know only one of them, and he happens to be my shinki [ a sigh ] Thanks, I'm in your debt.

[ And because this is the right time to suggest it... ]

Hey, wanna grab some ice-cream someday? Before they're gone I mean. [ Since it's such a summer thing ]

[sing_for_me]

[He means Archer? That means he saw the death of someone he knew. The sigh didn't go unnoticed.]

It's no problem...And ice cream sounds nice. I could use some in this heat.

[It definitely wasn't much of a consolation, but maybe she could treat him to some.]

[futhark]

Right? They're perfect and have all those different tastes and combinations!

[ Ice-cream are one of the best invention of the mankind, seriously. Just next to iced drinks. ]

What's your favourite?

[sing_for_me]

I’m not really sure..

[She did go get ice cream with Worrick once.]

Chocolate’s pretry good?

[He definitely sounded excited about it.]

What’s yours?

[futhark]

I've tested a few. Blueberry is nice. [ But he's going to like all the "berries" anyway ] Green tea is a surprisingly good - if you want something that's not too sweet.

[sing_for_me]

Blueberry...and green tea?

[Blueberry she could imagine but the latter?]

I can’t imagine how green tea would work... Are there other weird flavors like that?

[futhark]

Yeah, there seem to be two different sets offered. One is mostly fruits or sweets tastes like chocolate or vanilla... the other is full of unusual tastes. Red bean, cherry flowers, black sesame, soy sauce...[ he trails off to almost audibly shudder with a silent "eugh" ] Green tea is among those, but happens to be a good treat.

[ A pause ]

Archer is challenging me to try wasabi, but I suspect foul play.

[sing_for_me]

[Alex had different facial reactions to the list. Some curious, others wary. When he mentioned the wasabi challenge though...]

Hmm..too much for you to handle?

[Not that she was challenging him or anything. Nooope.]

[futhark]

[ Ooooh boy, he can see where it's going now. He can and yet he absolutely will follow it until the terrible doom happens ]

Hardly, I just don't like giving him what he wants so easily. [ He's absolutely horrible as a god, he probably should have specified that ]

But since you want to see it as well, that's a different situation.

[ Bring on all the wasabi. If he dies, it will be in flames of glory- and extremely spicy dessert ]

What the banana I was sure I replied!!

[sing_for_me]

[Alex laughs]

I’m just kidding.

[Though he probably really wouldn’t do it anyway.]

You gave in to that a little too easily, don’t you think?

DW is hungry and eats the notifs

[futhark]

It's not like me to back out of a challenge! My name won't be sullied by the non-existent threat of a suspicious food.

[ a beat ]

They say it, people buy it, it can't be that bad.

[ But he knows, he knows he will regret it ]

[sing_for_me]

It sounds pretty bad.

[She’s tries wasabi. Definitely not a fan.]

People probably do it more as a dare than actually because they like it...

[futhark]

I'll tell you if it's as bad, if I live to tell the tale!

[ He can joke about it because he seriously doubts something like awful tasting dessert could off him ]

[sing_for_me]

Er..alright. Just have some water with you.

[Not like she could really stop the guy. Although she had to admit it did sound fun.]

[futhark]

[ So there's a chance it's not awful, just spicy and hot... ]

A fountain will do!

[sing_for_me]

Whatever works.

[Yeeeeah, he's not going to do it.]

[futhark]

[ He totally did though, he kind of had to. And it was awful, and the fountain was very, VERY useful.

Why people eat stuff like this. Can't you all just enjoy a good old boar? Still. That's an ACHIEVEMENT GET. Ate wasabi ice-cream and survived. ]

[sing_for_me]

[Was wondering why he went quiet, though she heard some sounds.]

Hang on--Did you eat it just now?!

[futhark]

[ The art of hanging up was not mastered properly yet so it surprises him to still have Alex on the line, ooops. Mistakes were made.

He covers a cough and with a forced cheerfulness proclaims ]

It wasn't that bad. [ eugh ] Just... hot. [ Which is a weird thing to say about ice-cream ]

[sing_for_me]

...Yeah, not what I look for when I want ice cream.

[Definitely weird. Curious...but she wasn't that curious.]

But did you finish the whole thing?

[futhark]

It wasn't a big portion, fortunately.

[ Which so very conveniently doesn't answer the actual question ]

[sing_for_me]

Heeh, does that count then?

[She asked that more to herself, mumbling it as she glanced away.]

[futhark]

There was never a mention of how many scoops exactly should I try.

[ So he went just for one ]
