[Thankfully, there'll be nothing of which to take care. A few bites later, Sieghart, still ignoring Maya's likeness beside him, snorts.]

At least it's not on fire this time.

[agleam]

Really don't like that this is the bar now! But yeah, it's not on fire.

[hang on]

Wait - what do you mean this time?!

[ercnerd]

Did you forget? The last time we did something involving food, it lit itself on fire. I had to put it out.

[Back when they were . . . married.]

[agleam]

It lit itself on...

[ah. right.]

Oh, that. Sorry, that was months ago for me.

[ercnerd]

It was the same for me. Don't tell me you're having memory troubles this early? Between you and me, I should be the one who's forgetting.

[agleam]

You should be forgetting? What do you mean?

[ercnerd]

It's nothing unusual. [He takes a bite out of the burger.] When you have six centuries' worth of memories, they tend to crowd each other out.

[agleam]

Oh, okay. But, like, in a normal way instead of a memory erasure way, right?

[ercnerd]

That'll only happen once I truly die. For now, it's just a normal case of passing time.

[agleam]

When you truly die? As opposed to...?

[...]

Maybe don't answer that. But also, like, are you okay?

[ercnerd]

Why wouldn't I be?

[And there goes the last of his burger. He continues to ignore Maya.]

How's the soup?

[agleam]

I mean, you just started talking about something really heavy out of nowhere, so it feels right to at least ask...?

[he takes another bite, following that lead and ignoring otome and caleb.]

It's fine.

[ercnerd]

Hmm . . .

[What's light for him is heavy for a sensitive soul like Rupert's.]

What do you suppose they'll do once we finish? Get up and go?

[agleam]

Kind of wondering if it's going to be more serious than that...

[his paranoia]

[ercnerd]

What, you think they're going to attack us with utensils?

[Maya's shadow reaches out then. Her hand touches his gauntlet for a fleeting moment before it goes through his arm entirely. He glances down at the intangible contact with an arched eyebrow.]

[agleam]

I don't know, I don't want to let my guard down.

[watching this happen...]

[ercnerd]

[If they can't touch, they can't touch. Sieghart shrugs and turns his attention back to Rupert. Maya continues to go through him.]

I'm not saying you should. Let's finish that soup and get out of here.
