I did!! He's really nice to me, and took care of my food needs!

[ Oh, Ethan. She'll just keep how much she ate a secret. There's no way a girl her size can fit that much in her stomach, but then there's all kinds, right? ]

Hehe, you're such a gentleman, Ethan! I'll let you know when I'm out to eat again, maybe tomorrow? Or I don't know, tonight for dinner?

Hey, that's great to hear! And no, I haven't run into any trouble! Just the usual accidentally making a wrong turn, but I managed to correct myself today! I think I'm making progress! Are you proud of me?

He's a good man, I knew he would take care of you. Probably tried to overfeed you, too, didn't he?

[ Secrets! He will be genuinely impressed with how much food she puts away. Must be that crazy teenage metabolism. ]

Tonight or tomorrow, your choice. I don't have anything planned for either day, I just have to check on someone before meeting up with you.

That's bound to happen when you're in an unfamiliar place. Like I said before, if you need help, ask. It doesn't matter what time of the day it is. [ Not about to tell her he tends to nap during the day so he can patrol the streets at night or look out for his work wife. Old habits. ] I am.

[ Overfeed, he did not, if anything, he fed her just the right amount. ]

Overfeed? I think it was a good amount...I managed to finish everything and still have room for dessert!

Hmm, let's set it for tomorrow, then? Maybe around lunchtime? We can usually get a lot to eat at lunch!

[ She can't really tell if she's glad they're texting and not voice chatting or calling, because she does get a little emotional at his words—she truly does feel cared for, and it brings such joy to her life. And it warms her heart that he expressed being proud of her not losing her way, yet again. ]

Hmm! Got it![ And then: ] Even if it's at three a.m. in the morning?

[ She's joking...or is she? ]

Alright, I'm impressed. If you had to pick a favorite dessert, what would it be?

A lot, huh? Just how much do you plan to eat? If we had to use currency here, you might send me to the poor house. Lunch it is.

[ Probably a good thing, that would tug at his heartstrings a little. ]

Even then. I keep odd hours, I'll be awake.

[ He's not joking. Damsels in distress are his specialty. ]

Dessert, huh? Probably strawberry ice cream! No, strawberry shortcake...with strawberry ice cream? That's one dessert, right?

[ We can skirt around the rules a little, it's not like this is an actual test of sorts. ]

Hehe, enough to be full, of course! A girl's gotta eat, you know—and plus, I'm a growing girl, so there's also that!
[ And then, a pout on her end. ] Heyyyy I'm going to bankrupt you, I know to pay my own bills, okay?

[ Either way, she stops pouting upon reading the next message. It's awfully sweet of him. ] Awww, well, you promised, okay?

[ It's unlikely she'll actually message him at three a.m. in the morning, she loves her sleep too much. ]

Strawberries, then, I'll keep that in mind. In this case we'll say it's one.

[ This is a pop quiz, Usagi, and you just failed. ]

I can't argue with that logic, I can recall how much I used to get when I was a kid. Nearly ended up depleting all of our stock. [ Not really. He has a healthy enough appetite now, but she will definitely put his to shame. ] Just stay out of trouble and we'll call it even.

It's a promise. Any time. If you can't find me, then go to the Welcome Diner.

[ It's unlikely that he won't answer his phone save for full moon nights but he'd rather she know there are other people here she can talk to as well. ]

[ It's dessert—there are no wrong answers. ]

Hehe, once I find a good cake place, I'll be sure to bring you some! Dessert tastes better when it's shared amongst friends, right?

[ She giggles. ] Well, good thing this place restocks on a timely schedule, right? I'll eat in moderation, and I promise to stay out of trouble!

[ She's going to go there more often, after all, Daniel is friendly and he's even offered her some volunteering work! ]

It's a deal, then! I hope you won't get tired of me, Ethan!

I'll hold you to that. I can be a tough guy to please, but I trust your judgement. [ An utter lie, he'd pretend to like it even if it was crap. ] You're onto something thing there, I speak from experience.

For now. I wouldn't bet on that, however, as things can change quickly. I hold onto what supplies I can, keeping in mind that they could be my last for a while. It helps me ration them.

[ If only she could hear him laugh. ]

I don't think that's possible, you might tire of me though.

Hehe, don't worry! There's a dessert for everyone, we'll just have to find the right one! [ And that means Ethan will be eating a lot of desserts...

But it's fine, she thinks. ] Anyway! Even if it doesn't restock in a timely manner, I'm sure we can work something out! They're not that cruel to not restock food, right? [ But he does bring up a good point. ] Although I guess there's nothing wrong with making sure you have enough food.

[ But perhaps that's a worry she'll have later. Hopefully never... ]

Well, I'll hold you to that promise—

heyyy! You're a nice guy, I'll never tire of friends! Don't say that!
