Oh good, allowing the rant and not trying to match Idia's yelling had worked. Dealing with his dorm, as well as the members of his NRC Tribe, have helped with Vil's impatience over the months, but it can still rear its head if he isn't mindful of it. It certainly doesn't help matters that Idia has his own brand of baffling neuroticism that he's only seen bits and pieces of through dorm leadership meetings over the past year until now.

"A small place called Midori at the end of the street. They primarily serve sushi -- as you do when you are by a port, I suppose -- but I asked ahead and they do serve ramen on specific days." It wouldn't be the most authentic environment and everything, but it would certainly be better than simply ordering ramen and eating it in the cafeteria.

Vil adjusts his sunglasses as he walks, looking over at passersby to ensure they aren't scrutinizing him. Either the glamour is working as intended, or Idia is just much more of eye-catching with that hair of his.

Idia's lip instantly turned up the mention of sushi. He hates raw fish! It's gross and slimy and cold! What the hell, Vil? But... yeah ok, it's not that bad that he can't be around it, he just won't go anywhere near it. He was here for the ramen. Really, not like he had much to compare it to if it did turn out bad, other than the instant stuff.

But he may have standards on how it's presented. After all, ramen shows up in plenty of anime, and it always looks so amazing! "Fine, whatever." Not like he can really be picky, right?

While they head off Idia is having his own issues with being 'scrutinized'. Whether it was actually happening or not, it was in his mind, he tugging his hoodie up even higher to try and hide in it better as his head drops, back arching into more of a slump than normal, anything to try and make him stand out less. This was a mistake. He knew it was a mistake! It was bad enough putting up with looks and whispers in the school, why was he going out in public like this?!

He just wants to go back to his room...

Fortunately, Vil's attention is focused forward as he eyes the restaurant signs down the walk, so he takes no notice of that reaction from Idia. Not that he would particularly care; they were there for the ramen first and foremost, and if Idia couldn't stand the even the faint smell of raw fish...

Well. That would be troublesome, but that was an issue for Future Vil and Idia.

For now, Vil talks over his shoulder as he leads the way to the end of the street. "I hope you did your own research as well. Unless you intend to just go with whatever is recommended to you by the server."

He should had prepared. He should had prepared! Why did he listen to Ortho on this?! 'You don't need to think so hard about it, big brother, it'll be fun. Go and have fun!' PFFFTTTTTT! ...he's an idiot... he should had gone with his gut feeling.

Though Idia's gut feeling was to not do this at all... and yet he's here... regretting this more and more...

Ehhhhh, "I-I-I-I," Ok, he's having issues answering this, too caught up in his head and calling himself an idiot. It's such a noob move... but, hey, that whole 'spontaneous outing and going with the flow' was a good trope! Eh, but that only works in media, doesn't it, clearly not irl.

He's such an idiot. "I, ah, I, ah... I-I-I'll just... see once there." Idiot. Idiot. Idiot!
