[ with the way izou introduced himself, ishmael can surmise that he's probably some hotshot back in his homeland (wtf is a tosa). at his grumbling, she just gives him another shrug of her shoulders as they go down the steps. ]

You could've lopped my head off at the very first chance you got, but instead you just asked if I have any money on me. [ shakes her head. ] Call me Ishmael, by the way.

[ with the humble introductions out of the way, it's oden time! ishmael's going to sit near the pot of boiling foodstuffs for more warmth, raising a judgmental brow when izou decides to sit as far away from her as possible. like wtf man... ]

Ah, I'll have chikuwa and hanpen, please. [ turns to izou. ] Also, I can't talk to you from here, you know.

[ izou be normal challenge ]
