[thanks.]

Okay, your favorite food that you haven't found easily here.

[battling]

Ajillo. Haven't seen anything like it yet.

[goalsides]

I don't think I've ever had it. [it's possible he's never heard of it.] What's good about it?

[battling]

It's flavorful 'nd simple. Used to live right by the sea so gettin' the ingredients was easy.

[goalsides]

We're not anywhere near the ocean, but you could always try your luck fishing in the river. [it's a joke, most likely.] But makes sense.

[instead of holding the drumstick, at least, he'll take a bite.]

You could probably find somebody who cooks and ask.

[battling]

Think there'd be shrimp in there?

[He doubts it.

But he will start eating his fried chicken mountain.]

I'll see who shows up in the kitchen.

[goalsides]

I didn't look close enough. I talked to some guy earlier who mentioned a couple of seafood dishes. You could try asking him?

[battling]

Oh yeah? What's his name?

[goalsides]

No idea, sorry. He probably isn't that hard to track down. He was only using one of his arms.

[battling]

He had both of 'em? Huh.

[goalsides]

Yeah. I didn't think to ask. Didn't seem like a huge deal since he was doing okay.

[battling]

Probably fine if he wasn't makin' it an issue.

I'll have t' track the guy down.

[goalsides]

Sure. And if I see him first I'll send him your way.

[battling]

Sounds great t' me.

What's your name?

[goalsides]

Taichi. Yours?

[battling]

Bradley.

[goalsides]

Good to meet you. If I see that guy again or anybody I'll give them your name. [and because this is now becoming a thing:] You know how to use your phone?

[battling]

More or less. It's just a faster way to send letters, ain't it?

[goalsides]

Normally they can do a lot more than that, but yeah that's about right. It's the easiest way to get in touch with people who aren't in the same dorms and stuff.

[battling]

Pictures? Or is there more to 'em?

[goalsides]

Most phones let you make phone calls and actually talk to people, but for some reason these ones don't.

[battling]

Huh. Maybe they forgot t' add the function?

[goalsides]

More like they got rid of it on purpose for some reason, but I can't figure out why.

[battling]

Ain't like we can't reach each other through the messagin' feature.

[goalsides]

Yeah, but sometimes phone calls are a lot faster, or more convenient. I guess it's fine like this for now though.
