[ unfortunately, while yuwon was fairly adept at perceiving other people's relationships and emotions— he was poor at assessing them in regards to himself. hence, he doesn't consider for even a brief second that he factored into her inability to get a good night's rest. he lives in ignorance, and yet, it's true that he was still still avidly seeking out other temporary solutions. you know what they say about the solutions being in front of your face the entire time.

still, when she casts her gaze away, he tilts his head briefly. an invisible question mark drawn in the air, but— ] We can grab something to eat. [ she always did seem genuinely enthused when eating. ... and maybe he does notice that frown.

though, he follows it up with: ] I'm not too tired. I told you before, but I didn't have a lot of downtime back in the tower. If my constitution was this weak, I would be dead by now. [ ... ] You don't have to hold back.

[Well, at least he knows that food will always make her heart flutter, even when her mood is rough like a ship in a stormy sea... Yuwon may not understand what she is feeling right now, but he is suggesting solutions instead of staying silent. There is effort, at least.

An idea does pop in her head so she reaches towards the nightstand drawer and thankfully, it has what she is looking for (among other things.) A digital tablet that is double-screened as if it's a book. Some hotels got room service to order food and since this is a more wealthy hotel, it's like a book of delicious treats. Surprising they still have these things with the growing technology, but maybe some things don't need to change. Keep it old-fashioned.]

How do you feel about staying in here and let the food come to us?

[She messes with the tablet and it opens up a random page to show a page with pictures, a menu along with advertisements of some clubs and there may be a stripper picture there.]

See? We can get comfortable and relax away in this really nice room while folks bring us food and drinks.

[I am giving him a chance to recover from this fumble...]

[ the fact she isn't focusing on any of his clear faults her was probably a good sign. despite that, yuwon is as much in the dark of her feelings as she likely was his. hence, he doesn't seem surprised when she gets up. there's a part of himself that prepares for the prospect of her simply deciding it was easier to leave him to his own devices, and yet... she doesn't. she pulls out the tablet from the bed side, and he looks a bit surprised momentarily.

granted, it doesn't remain for long. just like that, he's already regained his bearings. he figures there was no use in considering something he had absolutely no insight to, and so he ends up simply focusing on the present. which was a bit novel considering the fact that he tended to always peer into the future. that said, he nods along. ] Sure. [ he moves in closer to her, just enough to reach over and place a below hers, as if tilting the screen a bit for himself to get a better look. ]

This reminds me a lot of having dinner together in Tokyo. [ if she notices, he also is still wearing the bracelet she gave him. not me sliding this in here while they're ... shakes hands. but, i had to redeem him. ]

[It's honestly way easier if she left him to his own devices, but something anchors her here. Maybe she wants to take a moment to wind down before throwing herself into the wilds of Vegas, getting lost in the debauchery like she is back in J Corp again.]

It does! This time, the food comes to us instead of us going out there and getting the food. 'Room service' is a pretty nice thing to have, huh? Wish we had that back at the base~

[She does notice the bracelet on his wrist and it does make her really happy that he is still wearing it. It doesn't show on her face and she doesn't make a comment about it, but she is still pretty happy that her little gift is still being used.]

What do you feel like eating? We can go super fancy or something simple... [She's going through the menu right now, seeing if anything catches their eyes.] Pizza sounds pretty good, but so does everything else~

[She is still leaving room for Yuwon to get his opinions in, but you know her, she's not picky...]

[ in the same vein, he doesn't know why rodya continues to stay at his side, especially in moments like these. while his taciturn nature was one thing, it's clear that he may have misstepped in their prior exchange. yet, she was still reaching to breach that veil of discomfort, and in spite of him being the type that was accustomed to solitude—

he found he didn't dislike this. while normally, he would have readily escaped even the slightest inconvenience of a situation... he enjoyed being around her. it may have been strange to come to this sudden realization or confirmation of his feelings of gratitude towards her and her consideration, and yet. he gives her words a small smile. it's small enough to miss, but he responds in tune: ] You don't think people would take advantage of that? [ besides,

LILITH didn't seem particularly... rich, if their paychecks were anything to go by. no shade to them. ] I'm fine with pizza.

[ ... a pause, before he also suggests: ] And what about Chinese food?

Chinese? [There is no 'China' in The City, so she had to look up examples real quick through her implant and she lights up on the result that she found.] Oh! Yeah, let's get some of that too~

[Zero fucks, she's going to order a little bit of every type of food. She follows the instructions on the tablet to get their order started.]

What are we doing for drinks? I mean, we do got plenty of water. [Including both their supplies and the mini fridge in their room.] Oh, oh, oh, and there is dessert too-

[At least this excitement on food is helping her distract from everything else, especially with what is going on in between them.]

[ he says those words before realizing that they didn't exist in the tower, either. a slip of the tongue, and yet, he's a bit relieved that it didn't necessarily mean it was a misstep on his part here. though, he does wonder why his preferences were so easy to say around her. still, he's not very picky, and he watches her select the items with interest. ]

I am fine with whatever you want to drink. [ though, he does wonder what the specialty here is. there does seem to be a fabled liqueur on the menu with a desert snake in it. but, do they want to go down that route?

but, it's nice to see the improvement in her mood. despite his own expression not exactly shifting dramatically, he also seems a bit lighter, as if comforted by her energy. also, i'm crying because this is reminding me of singles inferno for some reason. ]

Do you have a favorite kind of dessert?
