THREE ⌘ Yotsuba and Eating Out [Video]

[rollypolyclover]

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.

Look at him go. Lying again. Th-though, not about the looking after you bit.

[ as jack stood, she caught his hand and tapped her cheek. one for the road? ]

[action]

[rollypolyclover]

That's okay, I know that Yotsuba is in good hands for a bit and that Buffy is one of the best!

[Oh, he's leaving? Giving him a nice big wave as he stands.]

Bye bye, thank you for the coat! See you again next time!

[action]

[all7seas]

[Next time? The idea causes his stomach to clench, but not as badly as before. He leans down to give Buffy a kiss, not on the cheek, but on the lips. Brief but tender. Then, to Yotsuba:]

You just make certain you wear it, child. Won't do to catch your death, savvy?

[And that will really be his last word on the matter before he turns to leave.]

[action]

[herotypical]

Well. That went...interestingly.

[ buffy watches the pirate leave with indecision on her face but -- ah, after that? ]

So. How goes dessert?

[action]

[rollypolyclover]

Yotsuba agrees, very interesting.

[Nodding her head with a completely serious expression. A serious expression which is coated in brownie, cream and butterscotch sauce.]

It was good, Yotsuba gives it a ten. It was very yummy. So were the pancakes.

[action]

[herotypical]

...Does he always treat you like that?

[action]

[rollypolyclover]

Yeah, he's very nice to Yotsuba. He was like this when Yotsuba first met him, and when Yotsuba got a pony ride on Murphy, and when Yotsuba played games and made a coffin with Captain Jack,

Oh, Yotsuba would say he was 'rough around the sides', is that right? You need some sandpaper, and then you rub it all over him, and then he would be smooth.

[action]

[herotypical]

I don't think there's enough sandpaper in all of Luceti for those rough edges.

[ she sits with her elbows on the table, toying with the jade ring on her right hand. ]

[action]

[rollypolyclover]

Ohhh... You could use power tools too, if there's not enough sand paper. You could... Drill him.

[This is the best idea she can come up with sadly. Setting her cutlery down, brownie and all toppings now in her stomach, Yotsuba turns in her seat.]

So! Are you guys gonna live happily ever after?

[action]

[herotypical]

[ drill...him.

nope.

just...nope. ]

H-happily ever after? What? Why?

[action]

[rollypolyclover]

You kissed! The prince and princesses in the movies always kiss and then they live happily ever after and get married. Isn't that how it works?

[Pointing to the ring Buffy was playing with a moment ago.]

And you already have a ring, so all you hafta say now is 'I DO' and you'll live happily ever after, the end!

[She's seen a lot of disney movies.]

[herotypical]

They get married after they live happily ever aft--?

[ details. don't get pedantic with the girl.

don't be jack. ]

2/2

[herotypical]

I-it's not that kind of ring. See?

[ she holds out her right hand. ] Just...a pretty gift. Nothing happily ever after about it.

[rollypolyclover]

Oooh, it looks real pretty though, a really pretty gift. Didn't Captain Jack give it to you when he was down on his knees? Oh! Or maybe, maybe, he woke you up when you were sleeping and then the kingdom rejoiced and everyone was happy!

[...]

And then you got married. was that how it went? Congratumalations!

[herotypical]

W-we didn't get married. We're not married. Definitely. Not. Married.

[ she waggles her fingers at the girl. ] See, if we were gonna get married? It'd be on the other hand. Them's the rules. As it is? We're just very pleasantly...us.

[ jack's proposal terrified her. still terrifies her. ]

[rollypolyclover]

The... Other hand? [Holding up both of her own hands and looking at them each in turn.] Ohhh, is that how it works? Oh okay, so if it means you're married if it's on that hand then what does it mean if it's on this hand? Is it like a special friendship ring?

[Still looking at her hands.]

...Does it mean the opposite of married on that hand? Are you diforced?

[herotypical]

W-well, we're definitely not divorced. Y'gotta be married to get divorced. So -- really? Not getting married is the best way to avoid divorce.

[ buffy sits back -- stuck as to how she should explain this. ] We...I like him. A lot. That's what this ring means on this hand. It means I like him a lot.

N-no. Sorry. Actually? Screw that. It means I love him. And he loves me. And that's the important part -- not marriage or an engagement or bridal showers or pink fondant. Love.

[rollypolyclover]

Oh, that's right! Yotsuba was paying attention, really, that's how it works!

[Clapping her hands together.] Screw that, it's love! Love is really nice so it's great that you love him and he loves you! Just love, no happy ever after or princes and princesses and kingdoms being happy. Just love! Yotsuba understands!

[herotypical]

He'd make a pretty ridiculous prince anyway, wouldn't he?

[rollypolyclover]

He could be... A pirate prince. And he can take you off into the sunset on his big piratey boat. He'd make a bad princess.

[herotypical]

Alright, alright. So that doesn't sound half horrible.

[rollypolyclover]

So that means it sounds half good, yay! ...Oh, oooh, Yotsuba has a question!

[Holding up her hand and waving it about.]

Can we all go on a boat ride into the sunset together?!

[herotypical]

[ oh. yikes.

buffy glances at the door before back down to the empty plates around them. jack's behaviour has been so erratic. it'd be best not promise anything.

though she finds it very very difficult to say no to this girl. ]

I'll...talk to him about it. See what I can do. Okay?

[rollypolyclover]

Okay! You can talk to him about it and he will say yes! Or no, but that would be bad, so hopefully he'll say yes!

[She's already getting excited for all the different boat-related things they could do. Or could not do if this doesn't happen.]

We could go fishing, and draw, and we could play lots of games and have loads of fun together, just like today.

[herotypical]

[ s-so endearing. it's a little painful, how endearing she is. ]

This? Today? You had fun? [ because in buffy's eyes, jack was a complete jerk to the girl. ]
