Yeah! This place has the best donuts! Not to mention some really creative flavors! They have one that taste like bacon! [With a goofy grin he holds his elbow out for her to take.] Shall I escort 'my lady' in?

[omnicrafter]

...Fascinating.

[She has to roll her eyes for a moment, but accepts his arm anyway. He's really trying hard, that's for sure.]

But it's still more of a dessert sort of thing, isn't it? I'm not so sure about making a meal out of it...

[goldenglasses]

I would argue that donuts could be a meal! Besides, er, this is all I can really afford right now. I could do dinner or dessert, but I couldn't do both so that's why donuts are perfect! The best of both!

[omnicrafter]

You could've told me... I could've covered the other half.

[She unlinks from him and crosses her arms, though the smell of pastry sweets makes certain she can't stay annoyed for long.]

Do you have anything in mind for what you want to get? I'll probably just do something small...

[goldenglasses]

I could have, but then we wouldn't have this great food and desert at the same time plan I came up with! I thought it was really clever! [He knows it's not, but it was goofy and he likes being goofy.] I'm planning to get as many donuts as I can afford! [He says as he licks at his lips.] Let's go in and take a look.

[He'll walk just a little bit ahead in order to hold the door open for her.]

[omnicrafter]

You lay it on real thick, don't you?

[Whether it's a complaint or not, Irhya can't bring herself to be mean about it, so she accepts the gesture once more.]

If that's the case, I guess between the two of us, we'll have enough for an even split? [She's kidding; she shoots him a sly look.] I hope you're not going to be too occupied with those later...

[goldenglasses]

Why do you think I wanted dinner and desert at the same time? It's so we can skip to desert faster.

[omnicrafter]

[She hums dubiously, though there's a smirk on her face all the same.]

Next you're going to suggest we juggle both at the same time. Now go be a dear and pick out something I might like. I'm not as into sweets as some people I know, so I'll leave it to you to decide.

[That sounds like a challenge, Vash.]

[goldenglasses]

Alright then! I'll be sure to pick out something good! Go find a seat and I'll be back soon. [Vash will order a couple different ones. A classic honey flavour, a apple cinnamon one, a chocolate with chocolate glaze donut, a plain donut with white frosting and rainbow sprinkles, and one cream filled donut. Two of each.

He comes back with a plateful.] I'm sure you'll like one of these!

[omnicrafter]

[She looks pleased at the diversity. At least it's a modest amount... hopefully he doesn't plan to go back for seconds.]

Hmm... they smell good, too.

[Preferring her sweets more on the mild side, she plucks one of the chocolate donuts and bites, hoping it's not overwhelming.

By the look on her face afterward, it passes inspection.]

Oh, that is pretty good. I'll admit I have a slight weakness for chocolate, but I try not to let it go too far... You seem like the type who's not picky, though. It's a wonder you look as good as you do.

[That is probably as much of a means of flirting as it is a jab at his sweet tooth, judging by how she can't control the smirk that forms soon after.]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash goes ahead and gets started on one of the ones filled with cream. It tries to dribble out the sides, but he eats with the expert grace of someone who eats this messy food often.] It's because I work hard! Lots of running, and push ups, and some napping every day!

[He grins. Wiping a bit of cream off of his face.] When it comes to donuts I'm not too picky, but the classic plain honey one will always be my favorite. You just can't beat a classic!

[omnicrafter]

That's good; it's better to stay sharp in a place like this. I sort of miss fighting the way I used to, loath as I am to say it... finding a sparring partner here is a pain in the arse, though. Training is only so effective when you're doing it alone.

[She makes a light gesture towards the plate.]

Hey, you can have both the honey ones if you let me have both the chocolate ones.

[goldenglasses]

Deal! [Vash shouts before shoving both of the honey ones into his mouth one after the other. You know; like a gentleman would do.]
