THREE ⌘ Yotsuba and Eating Out [Video]

Hey. Heeey!

[She's talking to you, journal.]

There's no money here. Why don't we eat out every day, every single day? Back home we got some milk, it was really eckspensive! 600 yen, and it was good. But why don't we drink that milk here? If there's no money and everything is free then it would cost... No yen.

[...]

Yotsuba wants to go to a restaurant and eat today. Is that okay?

[For added effect her stomach starts to rumble.]

...It's really okay, right? Yotsuba wants to eat eyeball-fry. With a knife and fork! Even if it's still really cold it's a good idea, so everyone should come and eat with me.

Yotsuba is full of style! But it's true you know, nothing costs anything but this entire time Yotsuba has never been out to eat!

...Sounds like something you should fix.

Yeah! Yotsuba will go out right now and get something to eat, and when Yotsuba is done I'll leave a tip and stuff! [Forgetting the whole money thing already it seems.]

...But where should Yotsuba go? Quick Buffy, tell Yotsuba where is good to eat!

So, I've heard about this place called Seventh Heaven.

[ never you mind that it's the ONLY place. really. ]

...What happened to the fifth and sixth heavens?

[ what kind of a question is that!

think fast! ]

Terrible...harp-playing...accident.

... [That makes sense.] Oh, okay.

Are you hungry too? We should go together! [And she could totally mooch a piggy back ride out of this if she is--]

Hungry? Y-yeah. But I kinda have this date--or I was gonna have this date. I haven't asked him yet.

[ hmm. buffy pauses to consider her options and finds that she is somewhat reluctant to allow yotsuba to go wandering out on her own. why? this is a strange new sense of responsibility. surely, the girl is someone else's burden. ]

But maybe it could work. Maybe you could...come along.

Yeah! Yotsuba will come along and be really good. I have lotsa good table manners, and Yotsuba can use napkins and everything really well!

['Maybe' of course meaning 'you can definitely come so get your hopes up really high right this minute'.]

What should Yotsuba wear for a date?! Oh, this will do. [Looking at her t-shirt.] Yotsuba is ready!

I didn't realize there was a technique to using napkins. You'll have to teach me. Should I pick you up on the way? Where do you even live?

[ she tries to sound casual. in fact? she's intel-gathering. ]

Come pick me up! [...] Please! Yotsuba lives in the fifth big house, the really big one with lots of people in it. In room uh...

[Holding up two fingers.

...

Then holding up six.]

Just like that!

...Wait wait wait. Is that a six? An eight? A twenty-six?

[ she's already pulling her boots on. ]

[Staring at her fingers...]

Well that's a two. And this is a six... Yeah, that's a twenty six. Twenty six, two and six. Bingo!

Be right over.

[ it doesn't take her too long to find where she needs to be. though there is a moment of doubt as she passes by apartments two and six. eventually, though, she climbs to twenty-six.

and knocks. ]

[The door is quickly answered by one excited little girl who might just have been sitting, staring at the door whilst waiting for someone to knock.

She's also go a certain pirate's coat wrapped around her to keep warm.]

Ahoy! Welcome to my bumble home!

Don't you mean hu--hey. That coat. Where'd you...?

[ she crouches, reaching for a trailing sleeve. of course she knows that coat well. she's been buttoned up into it, a few times. used it as a blanket. pillow. hanky. ]

Captain Jack gave it to me to keep warm. It's full of style, just like Yotsuba!

[Snuggling her head down and rubbing her cheek against the fabric.]

Yotsuba managed to wash it with soap and everything, smells real good!

Oh. Boy. He's gonna love that. [ a dry murmur as she draws her palm across the coat's shoulder. noting how it swamps the girl. though it's good to hear that jack at least had tried to look out for the girl. progress, perhaps?

progress into being what he used to already be.

buffy smiles. ] A great man gave him that coat. He'll be looking to get it back, I'll bet.

[Just watching as Buffy seems to touch and look at the coat, clearly examining Yotsuba's wonderful job of washing the thing. Yes, she's quite proud of how she managed with it.]

That's why Yotsuba took care of it and washed it, because that shows how much Yotsuba cares!

[Shuffling out the door and pulling it closed behind her.]

All set, ready for adventure!

Oh. Sure. But adventuring means dragging that poor just-cleaned coat through the slush. That's it. I'm carrying you.

[ sure. it's all to protect the coat. ]

[Staring at the nice heap of coat around her on the floor.]

Yotsuba wouldn't want that! It would be the opposite of clean!

[But hey, being carried. That's something.]

Ohhh, how? Piggy back again?

...Is that what you want?

Yes.

Alright, alright.

[ she makes little come here gestures with her palms. ] But two times does not a habit make -- got it?

[Bundling up the coat so it doesn't drag all over the place as she shuffles on over.]

Okay, Yotsuba understands. But after this Yotsuba should have one more piggy back, 'cause three times is a charm. [Or something like that.]
