[ vash, dammit, don't you dare take her wanting to avoid that walk the wrong way.
but, oh, that's actually really useful for her. she reads his little explanation and distracts herself with thoughts of sweets — she hasn't had too much since she's been here, but she's at least noticed they've been different and often more elaborate. no man's land can't exactly make the biggest and most amazing cakes.
looking over the map, she notices a... pattern. ]
that sounds great, actually. i'll make that the first one i visit then. and i'll bring you back something when i do, okay?
you're eating something other than sweets, though, right?
You don't have to! But I wouldn't say no...[ Maybe he can catch her and talk to her at least a little bit if she stops by. ]
Of I've been eating other stuff! [ Sometimes. ] There's hotdogs. And pizza. I had shrimp last week! Wolfwood was right, they do kind of taste like worms.
she hasn't tried shrimp yet but she is making A Face at her phone. if she knew what they looked like, she'd avoid them for that alone anyway. ]
thanks, now i know what not to eat. why are you eating things that taste like worms when we've come all the way here and finally gotten away from them anyway??
[ regardless, she wants to tack this on, just in case: ] just make sure to eat something else if you feel sick.
[ she doesn't know if she can trust him to stop eating sweets and pizza if he gets sick from them. ]
I just wanted to try it! They're pretty tasty if you peel off the shell and dip them in sauce. I haven't tried the stuff with tentacles yet...
I'll be careful, don't worry Meryl. :) [ He has never been careful in his life, but it's the thought that counts, right? ] If you find anything you like to eat, let me know! I was thinking of learning some new recipes.
But they come from the ocean! [ THE OCEAN, MERYL. But he'll stop as requested. ]
I don't cook a lot! I've been trying to get better at it... I only really did it before when I couldn't pay for meals but people do it for fun here. [ He also volunteers at a soup kitchen and he wants to be more useful. ] Do you want to try some?
coming from the ocean doesn't make them sound any better. a worm is a worm, vash. [ she'd rather try that 'fish' stuff she's heard about. none of this worm adjacent food. ]
that's right... i can't imagine having enough ingredients to do it for fun back home. [ people using food for fun? people wasting food? it's been wild for her to see. people can just snack because they feel like it here. ] but sure, i'd love to try some. what kind of food would you even make? you'd better not try to serve me shrimp.
okay, that sounds safe. i at least know what those are.
now you've got me curious about what your cooking tastes like. what's THE vash the stampede's style? sounds like a once in a lifetime chance, when i think about it like that...
[ look, how many people back in no man's land have given him enough of a chance to let him cook for them? she can't think it'd be many. ]

I wouldn't make anything you don't want to eat! I was thinking maybe fried rice? No shrimp. Maybe chicken?
