[it is definitely time to leave!! Catra gives the pool one last look before she falls into step behind Lalli. she did have a purpose for seeking him out, after all]
[it's fine tho she'll get her summer-themed smoothie and slurp on it while his HONEY HIMBO smoothie is made!! and she'll observe his reaction after he takes his first sip]

Some plant guy said it had chemicals in it. Don't look at me; that just makes me want to touch it even less.
no subject
[So that means it's time to leave! Catra can come too, she's not as annoying today.]
no subject
Anyway, stupid pastimes aside. . .
Let's go get something to eat.
[???]
no subject
...why?
[lookin kinda sus there Catra.]
no subject
[because she wants to do a task but she isn't going to tell HIM that because she thinks he might refuse her if she does??]
no subject
...alright. What do you want to eat?
[Hopefully not anything from that terrible bakery.]
no subject
Do you know what a burger is?
[she has been introduced to burgers now and she loves them]
no subject
[Meat on bread is a very common food, given how easy it is to make.
He only eats the insides though, there will be buns lying around when he is done.]
no subject
Then that's what we're having. Maybe with a side of smoothies.
no subject
[Oh look, new food to introduce him to!]
no subject
[she literally just discovered smoothies herself, this is perfect]
no subject
[With their two catbrains combined, they can unlock the mystery of the smoothie.]
no subject
That's the point, Bee Boy.
[anyway they're at the cafeteria now! she beelines for the smoothie place]
Don't ask me what any of those words describing the flavor means, because I have no idea. But Summer's is the best.
[obviously]
no subject
And also, just to be contrary, he's going to make himself a smoothie of Honey Himbo.]
no subject
[it's fine tho she'll get her summer-themed smoothie and slurp on it while his HONEY HIMBO smoothie is made!! and she'll observe his reaction after he takes his first sip]
no subject
He drinks it, and he makes a face, but he keeps drinking it.
Then he gets brain freeze and squeezes his eyes shut.]
no subject
[she laughs in that cute squeaky way she does]
Your face!
no subject
[He's rubbing at his forehead. Braiinfreeze aaaa]
no subject
[she pauses, blinks a few times, and then looks at her smoothie like it might kick a puppy??]
no subject
And then he drinks from his smoothie again.]
It's fine, it's just for a little bit.
no subject
[well. she'll move on to the chicken place so they can order burgers now]
no subject
[Do it do it chug chug chug
He'll still follow her over to get the borger. When they get their food he is immediately removing it from the bun and just eating the meat.]
no subject
[. . . maybe she'll try later IF HE FINDS HER ON THE GROUND DYING OF BRAINFREEZE HE WILL KNOW IT'S HIS FAULT]
[also once they have their burgers she watches him toss the buns aside with a lightly bewildered look]
Hey, isn't that perfectly good food?
no subject
[OM NOM MEAT]
no subject
[reaches over the table to steal his hamburger buns]
no subject
But anyway, she can have them. He doesn't want them.]
Why? They're soft and get soggy so quickly, they're gross.
no subject
[OKAY CATRA]
no subject
[Lalli has very particular tastes.]
no subject
[Catra will eat it because it's MEAT-FLAVORED but she also grew up on mostly tasteless military rations so food is a whole new experience for her]
no subject
Bread should be hard on the outside and soft on the inside. Crackers are even better.
no subject
I don't care what it "should" be as long as it tastes good.
no subject
[He's going to grumpily munch on his food. He has FEELINGS about food textures, ok???]
no subject
[time to finish eating her burger in silence, tho]
no subject
...what now?
