[It is ironic how Sabo is the energetic one here, but -- he knows he has to be. Someone has to be, and he's sure that after this dinner, his friend will have cheered up some.

As they start to head to the restaurant, Sabo hears that question and quickly answers. It's an easy one to respond to, since not much has changed.]

Most things are the same. I'm still working at the same office, writing short stories in my spare time. The ramen shop across from our burger place closed down, though. [He sighs at that.] Nothing has taken its place yet, so -- I haven't been able to find another ramen shop that I like. [But that means:] So I've been trying to learn how to make my own! I'm doing alright so far. I'll have to bring over some next time I visit you.

[yakyuuman]

Nooo... I liked that place! Well, it's better that one closed than our burger spot!

[ After what he went through, he really didn't wish to have one of his favourite shops closed down, which is why he's kinda relieved to know it's safe. ]

Oh, well, if you master your skills at ramen making, you sure ought to cook some for me! I'll wait for it!

[chief_of_staff]

[He feels a little guilty for throwing that bit of bad news his friend's way, so he makes a point to excitedly agree to sharing his ramen. When he gets enough practice in making it, of course.]

I'd love to! Hopefully I won't take too long to learn. It'd be easier if I could take proper classes, but -- haven't found any. So I'm learning by reading and watching what I can.

[He takes his friend's hand so they can rush toward the burger place, because he's getting hungry, and he knows, after spending enough time with the other man over the years, that food will certainly cheer him up.

Thankfully, after a few minutes, their destination is in view.]

There it is!

[yakyuuman]

Well, that's the right way to self-teach something! Way to go!

[ Maybe Sabo will be more successful at it than himself, who burned three kitchens when he wanted to learn how to make french fries.

Not at all opposing the handhold, he will at least make it so Sabo won't have to drag him there, rushing along with him. He smiles genuinely when they reach the place, waves of nostalgia filling his heart with warmth. Nothing about this place changed a bit in these past months. ]

It's been a while, huh...

[chief_of_staff]

[It has been a very, very long while. So long, in part because Sabo hasn't been here on his own. He likes the restaurant just fine, but he's been so absorbed in learning how to make his own ramen, that he hasn't been out to eat that often.

He opens the door for his friend, and once they both enter, lets it close on its own.

The restaurant is the type where they order at a counter and wait at a table for their food, so Sabo goes right ahead and orders a fairly simple cheeseburger, fries, and a drink.]

I'm glad it hasn't changed at all.

[yakyuuman]

[ For himself, Jyushimatsu will leap over and order three hambugers, double fries, a chocolate parfait, and soda. Somehow, coming back to his place brought some of his appetite back.

After that, he picks the table he's always claimed with Sabo for years, and settles down. ]

Even the smell's the same! I'm suddenly super hungry again...

[chief_of_staff]

[He moves to that table soon after his friend does, grinning in response to all of the food he'd ordered.]

You almost eat as much as my brother would, you know. [He then adds:]

Which is a compliment, of course!

[Since Jyushi ordered quite a bit, a waiter comes by and tells Sabo it'll be a few minutes. He thanks him and then chuckles.]

I don't mind the wait. Gives us time to talk, anyway. Did you have any burgers back where you were?

[yakyuuman]

Hahaha! I know that! You never shut up about how much you love your brother!

[ His laugh lasts short when the waiter tells them to wait a few minutes, and he feels his stomach already groaning from hunger. He also chuckles awkwardly at the question. ]

I had a couple, but they didn't taste as good as the ones I've got here! Now that I think about it, their food was rather too high class for plebe like me, haha!

[chief_of_staff]

[He blinks a few times at that, not even opting to protest. Because there'd be no point -- he DOES go on about Luffy to a ridiculous degree, and he knows it.]

What food do you consider fancy, then? Not ramen or sushi, right? Because I eat those all of the time and they're not fancy at all. [Ramen shouldn't be too fancy, in his eyes, and considering how sad his friend was about their favorite ramen shop closing, he probably doesn't think so either.

But where he'd spent some time away from home may very well have had fancy ramen.]

[yakyuuman]

Eh, like... things that people take too long to cook or arrange like they're sculpture!

[ He impatiently kicks his legs from under the table, bumping his toes over Sabo's calves. ]

It seems pointless to me since they're gonna get eaten up anyway!
