[Phew! Happily, Leia orders a couple drinks when they get to the front of the line. She wonders if orange juice will taste as good as orange gels do.

There's a small slice of orange wedged at the top of each glass, giving it a tropical feel.]

There! That wasn't so bad, now was it? [She hands Lee his.] They even have salads, and little fruit cups, too...

We could stay for dinner!

[niceguypose]

[He beams as he accepts the juice and takes a refreshing sup.]

This juice- such a delightful choice!

Ah, and dinner also sounds lovely! The options look very healthy.

[journaler]

Right? [She agrees, and takes a sip of her own juice once Lee has his.] Good for exercising and training, and perfect for a place like this.

What kind of food do you like anyway, Lee?

[niceguypose]

[He nods affirmatively.]

It does fit this gym in a very ideal manner!

I like... every kind of food! There's no food that I dislike!

[journaler]

No way...

You must have a stomach of steel! [OR SOMETHING]

[niceguypose]

Perhaps I do! My stomach is trained like the rest of my body. I do love especially love spicy curry!

[journaler]

[Oooh. She laughs a bit at that.]

I wish I could have you try some of my mom's spicy soup. I bet you'd like it, too.

[niceguypose]

Is that so? I hope that there would be an opportunity someday well! She must be a splendid cook. A spicy soup sounds very appetizing!

[journaler]

Mhm! It's great! And our customers love it, too. We run a small family inn back home, and we get people coming from all over.

[niceguypose]

Ah, that sounds so splendid! I used to stop by a place like that in my own country. There, they made a special curry called the Curry of Life! I would be honored if I could visit your inn someday... [Because he doesn't doubt that their worlds will be restored.]

[journaler]

Yeah! I could invite you, and all kinds of other people I meet here. [She gestures excitedly.] That'd give a whole new meaning to our customers being from "all over!"

[niceguypose]

It would be an honor to contribute to your business's fame in that way! [In fact, he adds in a polite bow!] And I am sure that would be a very lively and youthful gathering!

[journaler]

Well, I can dream.

[Her shoulders lift into a shrug and she chuckles a bit. Her excitement seems to have dulled, but her enthusiasm and hope still rings as true as ever.

Leia glances back one more time towards the menu as the people behind them look on expectantly, waiting their turn.]

Anything else before we sit?

[niceguypose]

Hm... I believe that I am content! I will not ask for anymore. Do you feel pleased, Leia-san?

[journaler]

Mmm... yep!

[So she leads him away, and finds a very nice seat near the window that offers them a view of the outside.

She sips at her juice and sighs contently as she plops down in one of the chairs.]

Phew.

[niceguypose]

[It's a nice view! Lee sits himself down and rigidly sips at his own juice.]

Ah... It is very pleasant! Today has been a nice day, has it not?!

[journaler]

Yeah, I think it has! [ said in a giggle. ]

Thanks for showing me this place, Rock Lee. I'm probably gonna make it my second home.

[niceguypose]

[He smiles.]

You are very welcome, Leia-san! I enjoy this place very much, and I have accepted a job here too! [And he flashes her a thumbs up.] So we'll be sharing this second home, and I'm glad for that!

[journaler]

Really? That's great!! [and also a grim reminder that she also needs a job. blissfully ignoring that for the time being, though--] But what will you be doing here, exactly?

[niceguypose]

Instructing! [He jabs at the air, setting his drink down for the moment.] In the practice of martial arts! I hope to do my best!

[journaler]

Wow! Somehow I'm not surprised at all. [The role suits him to a T. He seems like he'd be patient, understanding--and she can't even imagine him losing his temper.

...At least, she doesn't want to imagine it.]

You definitely have the enthusiasm. I'll come learn from you, too!

[niceguypose]

[He beams. And he takes a moment to flex an arm due to feeling the early stages of the Strength tarot before he looks back at her.]

I'm glad to hear that! It would be an honor to teach you, Leia-san! I'll make sure you can overcome any opponent!

[journaler]

Yes!

[She sounds delighted at the thought, and pumps her fists in her excited outburst... and then goes back to her drink, which by now is almost gone.]

So when do you start?

[niceguypose]

My first shift! It is in... [He quickly whips out his pocket notepad and speed-flips through the pages until coming to a sudden stop.]

Two days!!

[journaler]

Ooh, so soon! Are you nervous? Have you ever taught anyone before?

[SO MANY QUESTIONS]
