"Just because I'm pretty......"  ❤Ayu skipped her way towards the ramen store along with Prepuce.. Entering the small eatery, Ayu's eyes sparkles upon seeing the list of ramens available just for them.. Yipee! Glancing over to Prepuce.. "Finally, here we are! This is the place where I got the two tickets!.. Grandpa!!"
Calling the attention of the old man serving at the counter and an old woman cooking back at the see through kitchen.. "Oh! You're here again Ayu!.. Going to eat another ram-yun for today?" Looking at the pale boy beside her.. The man clear his throat while expressing a wide smile at her.."Oh.. is that the boy you were telling us about? Kentoy? I'm glad you're both back together again.."
Ayu puffed her cheek while blushing.."Ehh? Grandpa.. This is Prepuce! My classmate back at Rosentale Academy.. And we're here to eat.." The old lady peek out from the kitchen, surprised from the term Ayu's been using.. Along with the other customers.. Prepuce? A male----- "I see.. Here you can take those seats..In front of the counter while I made your ramens.." The old man just break the silence and proceeds to his wife..
Meanwhile Ayu pulled Prepuce and let him take his seat and she sat beside him.. Bouncing up and down, happily.. "Sorry about that, Grandpa is like that.. Haha.. But he's a nice guy.. He knows what I really wanted.. So.. today, I'll be teaching you how to eat ramen.."
❤ "....doesn't mean that I'm happy!"

"So you come here very often then," Ihsan said as he sat. At least, that's what he assumed from the familiar way she spoke to the owners--and from the familiar way they spoke to her. He had to admit the aroma in the shop was appetizing. It was a little strange, and yet familiar at the same time. Perhaps it was a little like the food from the far east of the lands near his home. Something about the smell was similar though he supposed he'd have to wait to see if the taste was similar as well.
At any rate, there was something else he was wondering about and had been bothering him since they arrived.
"Is that man really your grand father?" he asked. Because they really didn't look anything alike at all and relatives did usually at least bear some sort of resemblance to each other...

"Just because I'm pretty......" ❤Ayu focused herself looking at the selection.. Smiling, the girl just nods and glance over the pale boy.. "Whenever I feel like... I want to talk with someone.. Grandpa and Grandma were the ones listening to me when I first came here in this shop, I was thinking about my brother... But then.." She sighed looking away... Unaware that Abel is finally conscious.. "Here's your orders" The old man suddenly came out and placed the bowls in front of them.."Oh! Thank you Grandpa!"
Ayu stared at Prepuce,smiling.. "Uhm.... they weren't my real grandparents actually.. I.. They died before I meet them.. They just want me to call them grandpa and grandma because, they saw me as their grandchild.. That's all.." Taking the chopsticks beside her bowl, waving it to him.. "Sorry about not asking for spoons.. But hey! This is good to eat when you have these.. Chopsticks... I shall teach you how to do it too!" Ayu, slowly separates the said small wood just in case Prepuce want to see it thoroughly.. "There.. You will just have to break it gently into two.. It took me days before I perfect this technique! haha!..At first it looks uneven.. But it takes a lot of practice.. Okay you try.."
❤ "....doesn't mean that I'm happy!"

Ihsan.al.Seif "So they are a surrogate family," Ihsan said. he hadn't seen any of his family in years. Not parents or siblings, much less grandparents are anyone else. He watched her separate her chopsticks, unsure what they were for. Picking his up as well, he separated the two of them. He stared at them. What...was he supposed to do with these? Stab things with them?
"Now what?" he asked, holding the two sticks up while examining his bowl of ramen. It certainly smelled good. He tried to identify all the ingredients just by looking, but some of the things in the bowl were unidentifiable. "What's in this?"
Why didn't he have a spoon? Was he supposed to eat the soup with sticks? How was that going to work?

"Just because I'm pretty......" ❤Ayu glanced at Prepuce confuse.. "S-Shu-.. Shurorgigate? What's that?" Then while waiting for his reply, Ayu placed her fingers properly on how to hold the chopsticks. Since the pale boy is looking on his bowl with a confused look.."Here.. Let me help you.."
Ayu moved her chair closer to his, and placed her hand on his hand while trying to teach him how to use the chopsticks correctly.. "There.. That's how you hold them.. Make sure your fingers and the chopsticks coordinates with each other.." taking hers again, showing to Prepuce on how to move the chopsticks and taking an egg from the bowl... "Try to take one from your ramen like this.. That would be a good exercise.. And as for the soup.. You can lift your bowl and take a sip on it.. But you have to blew since its really hot!" Smiling while looking at him intently.. "Okay you try.. I'll watch you from here..."
❤ "....doesn't mean that I'm happy!"

"Substitute," Ihsan said, figuring surrogate was too difficult a word for Ayu. "To replace your lost grandparents." He watched quietly as she demonstrated how to use the chopsticks, finding it a little bewildering that anyone would attempt to eat with sticks. Why? Why not use a spoon? What logic was there behind trying to navigate a soup bowl with sticks? There was no logic.
Clearly whatever nation this dish originated in, the people were insane. Perhaps it was the same place that had talking cat ladies. Perhaps a talking cat lady invented the idea of using sticks for eating utensils. He would have to investigate this later.
Regardless, for the time being, he tried to copy Ayu and pick up the egg with the sticks. Instead, he managed to squish the egg in half. Part of it flopped back inside the ramen and sank into the brother. The other half plopped forlornly onto the table top.
Ihsan glanced at Ayu. "This is more difficult than it looks."

"Just because I'm pretty......" ❤Ayu watched Prepuce on demonstrating.. But then, of course as expected.. Fail.. She smiled and moved beside him.. "Oh.. Substitute.. Like a teacher!" She gently held his hand and positioned the sticks once more firmly on his fingers.."Here.. I'll assist you how to do it until you were able to get it.."
Still guiding his hand, Ayu gently moved it towards the bowl, making his sticks took one strand of noodles.. Wow.. This is really hard.. She's more used doing it on her own.. But hey.. This is the test of patience.. "It's normal.. Because I experienced that too.. Just patience.." Smiling, she gently pulled the noodle strand still guiding Prepuce's sticks... "Okay careful.." She remarked while not breathing and guiding Prepuce's hand..❤ "....doesn't mean that I'm happy!"

Ihsan.al.Seif "You can think of it that way," Ihsan said. He watched as she covered his hands with hers once more, showing him how to hold the sticks. It was a little awkward as she guided him and he was distracted by her hands. They were so much smaller than his--and warm. Somehow, that was surprising. His body heat was naturally slightly elevated so most other races felt colder to the touch, but Ayu's hands were warm.
He watched with idle curiosity has she guided a noodle to his mouth. Taking a bite, he chewed thoughtfully as he set the sticks down and captured her hands.
He turned them over in his, tracing his fingers over them. Girl hands--they were always so little and soft and cute.

"Just because I'm pretty......" ❤Ayu gently brought the noodle strand towards his mouth. Soon as he catch and chewed on it.. The young girl couldn't help but to smile.. "See?.. It's challenging but fulfilling! " Unaware that Ayu still holding Prepuce's hand.. Now its his turn to do it on his own, but then the pale boy set his chopsticks down.. Ehh? maybe he got tired of trying? But then, to her amusement, he suddenly took her hands and starts to play with it.. She wasn't sure if he's really playing or examining or maybe Prepuce took interests with her hands..
She blinked.. Confused. Now he's trailing his fingers over them.. Somehow, Ayu felt a little uncomfortable.. The last time someone is holding her hands this way was Kentoy.. And yet here's Prepuce taking his sweet time holding on it.. "Uhm... Is there something wrong with my hands Prepuce?.."❤ "....doesn't mean that I'm happy!"

"There's nothing wrong," Ihsan said, turning her hands over and running his thumbs over her knuckles. "They're just small. Girls always have such small hands. Ya amar..."
He didn't want to, really, but he let her hands go and turned back to his soup. Picking up the sticks, he went back to fighting with them. "How did you come to find this place?" He was curious because, after all, Ayu couldn't have been at Rosentale that long, and she already had such a close relationship with these people. She must be an incredibly frequent visitor if she treated them like grandparents.

"Just because I'm pretty......" ❤Nothing wrong?.. Ayu blinked while Prepuce examine her hands.. And she felt something weird with his fingers running through her knuckles... Eh? Her face suddenly felt warm.. "Uhm.. maybe this is how girls are created?.." Smiling, then soon enough he let it go.. And proceeds on trying how to eat his ramen.. Ayu goes back from where she left and starts to partake the noodles.."Uhm... It just so happened I just love to do food hopping.. You know, trying out something new.. "
Ayu observed Prepuce while struggling using his chopsticks.. She gestured for grandpa and gave her a spoon.. "Here.. I'll just teach you next time and practice until you got how to use it poperly.."❤ "....doesn't mean that I'm happy!"

Ihsan took the spoon from Ayu and tilted his head slightly, leaning on the table and resting his head against his hand. "Perhaps they're made that way so they will better fit in mine?" He reached to take her hand again, briefly lacing his fingers through hers. "Because it's a perfect fit, is it not?"
He released her hand again and took up his chopsticks, fiddling with them for a moment before managing to pick of a slice of meat and hold it somewhat precariously between them.
"Are there really places they use these sticks to eat?" Because it was just hard to believe any culture had evolved tht way. Then again, even Djinn had some weird traditions so he supposed it was possible.

"Just because I'm pretty......" ❤As Prepuce accept the spoon, to her dismay he placed it on the table and once more took her hand.. Seems like the pale boy took interest of her hands already.. He just kept on holding it.. "Uh... You think so?.." Ayu stared on how he played their hands together.. They were like entwining with each other.. Ayu doesn't mind, since Prepuce is a hand-fetish male per se?..
And this made her remember one thing.."My brother's hand were like these too.. But yours were small than him.. Prepuce's hands were not too big.. it does really fit... I wonder why is it?.."
She tilted her head while being distracted on their hands...And once more took interest on observing him how to handle his chopsticks.. "Uhm.. barbecues! They use sticks there... Oh! You did it!.. Slowly.. You almost had it.."❤ "....doesn't mean that I'm happy!"

"Maseer," Ihsan said. "It must be fate to be such a perfect fit together." He was able to bring the meat to his mouth and chew thoughtfully for a moment. "What else do you do in the city besides come eat here?" he asked.
He still wasn't really sure what sort of things were normal for people to do as a past time here. This place was so different than what he was used to that he was still learning all the ins and outs of the culture and all the things people did with themselves. So far, Ayu had shown him the mall, shown him the amusement park, and now ramen. She was introducing him to quite a few new experiences. Perhaps he should come up with a way to thank her.
