It Seems Crazy...
"So, everything okay in your room, Saishu? Need anything?" Cindy had been checking on everyone's being well-supplied, but she was willing to admit to herself that it was a little bit different with Saishu.

Cindy shakes her head. "The others are in full-out Brave Little Tailor mode -- I mean, they had no idea what they were getting into. I've had a year of heroine-training, and Opie here and I have danced this dance before, kindasorta. So I've got resources, information, and a ridiculous proprietary instinct. I'm in the best position to look out for everybody. You're a real windfall aside from being great company; you're without a doubt the best fighter we've got with us."

	"I was trained to fight and survive." she replies with a shrug. "It is what I do. It is... everything else that's proving hard." She blinks after a moment. "Did you say good company? I think I make the others nervous." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They're understandably out of sorts from the circumstances, and most of them aren't used to being around people who can handle themselves in a fight. You've been very good company as far as I've seen." Right. Cab. Walk to it. Try to maybe take your eyes off her some, Cindy? ...Apparently not happening. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She seems to accept that for the moment, getting to the cab first and opening up the door for Cindy. Apparently some parts of etiquette, at least, have reached places she's been. "Yes, I get that impression... but worry they will have to learn. I will try to continue to be good company. Not always easy, but you help." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2011-10-24 07:21 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah. They will. We don't want to be sitting ducks here." And then she blushes again at the comment, and the manners. The next part isn't in French. Sure, it was more a thing one read a little of to get ready for the other romance languages than a language one spoke, but even Cindy could pronounce "Gratias." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That draws a genuine smile as she slides into the cab beside her, needing to shift a little to fit her legs in, but getting adjusted before too long. "Welcome." she replies, likewise doing the courtesy of responding in a native tongue. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cindy smiles. "Are you hungry?" Cindy was hungry, but that was no surprise. She was almost always hungry now. The little fragment of the Tempter -- calling him Opie, strangely, helped make it easier to face -- was never really gone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Starving." she agrees. She doesn't have Cindy's endless hunger, but she's still a big, obsessively active girl. "The pizza was very good. But I would like to try other things. What would you recommend here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That will do nicely." she agrees. Cindy may have a bit more broad idea of everything, when it comes to food. But the idea at its base has some merit. "Do you want to shop first, then eat, or the other way around?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"As you wish." Saishu agrees, climbing out of the cab when it stops, and the driver informs them they're at the mall - she wouldn't have been sure otherwise. She has the grace to hold the door for Cindy while she stares. "Goddess... this place is..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2011-10-24 07:57 am UTC (link)
	Cindy appreciatively takes the door, then shells out the appropriate sum of money and appropriate addition. "Yeah, it's a bit big. Malls are like that." She'll smile as they head in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Saishu eyes the place a bit, then moves to follow Cindy. "How do you find anything here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2011-10-24 08:04 am UTC (link)
	"You get used to it, and there's the map for handling any changes." Cindy gestures to the color-coded monstrosity posted. And...carefully making sure Saishu's still following her, Cindy will begin amassing a collection of small servings of fried chicken, lo mein, grape leaves, and corn pudding.

Saishu follows, after eyeing the guide, not sure how much help that'll be.

She's a little more selective on food - not on amounts, but sticking strickly with things where a basic idea of contents are eiher posted, or obvious on looking. teriyaki chicken is fine, the mixed vegetables seem ok, fried chicken, grape leaves... she draws the line at some of the Asian food jumbles.

	"It smells very good. I had considered a greater variety... but some places I have been, being unable to identify what is in your food is not a good idea. Perhaps next time. This will do for lunch, though." she answers, regarding the tray piled high with food. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She raises a brow, finishing her mouthful. "There is a reason the orange light chose you, I suppose. You seem to manage it well. So far, I have no problems dealing with you... I will keep that in mind should your parents ever involve themselves in our activities though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She smiles. "Yes, well. Did you know there's a species of weasel called the glutton?" She resumes eating. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
