I'm not going to plan for his mask getting broken open.

[silvercrusader]

Well, nobody does. I'm just saying: if it happens. Pudding. His mouth that isn't a beak. Get on it.

[What kind of noise would Hierophant even make? Probably something bitchy, he thinks fondly.]

Oye, what's your favorite food?

[lapidarius]

...Cherries. Why?

[silvercrusader]

Making sure. And taking a survey. I mean-- there's shit I know about you, and then there's really basic stuff I've got no idea about. Like, all that arcade shit? I had no idea you were that into it.

[lapidarius]

Oh.

[...]

What's your favorite food, then?

[silvercrusader]

You don't know!

[He gasps, mock offended.]

Do you even know any French food?

[lapidarius]

Do you know any Japanese food?

[Two can play this game.]

[silvercrusader]

Sushi!

[lapidarius]

Anything else, Polnareff.

[silvercrusader]

No, that counts! You can't discount it just because it's popular, that's not fair!

[lapidarius]

I can and I will, unless you'd rather I answered with 'snails'.

[silvercrusader]

Okay, first off, it's escargot, not snails. That's like if I said raw fish, okay, don't misrepresent my country.

[But shit, hmm . . .]

Rice. Oh! Shit, wait-- rice buns!

[Rice balls is what he's thinking of, actually.]

[lapidarius]

That's not...no. There's no such thing.

[Honey. No.]

[silvercrusader]

Yes there are!

[He knows Japanese food, god, Kakyoin, what are you, Japanese or something?]

The ones with-- you know! They're all compact and they've got that black stripe on em!

[lapidarius]

Black str--are you talking about onigiri? That's seaweed, not a black stripe.

[silvercrusader]

Which is black, and goes on it in a stripe, so it counts, and that's two for me!

[lapidarius]

It's green, idiot. Because it's seaweed. If anything that's half a point.

[silvercrusader]

'S more than you got, isn't it?

[lapidarius]

You don't want me to give a serious answer.

[never forget noriaki kakyoin knows how to be flawlessly polite in several countries]

[silvercrusader]

I gave you two! Two whole answers! Sushi and rice buns! What have I gotten in return, I ask you? Nothing.

[lapidarius]

Remember, you asked for it.

[DEEP BREATH]

Confit de canard, bouillabaisse, ratatouille, gougères, cassoulet...that's all I can think of off the top of my head, excuse my flawed pronunciation.

[What the fuck, Kakyoin.]

[silvercrusader]

What the fuck, Kakyoin.

[lapidarius]

My father travels. A lot. You have no concept of the amount of books he owns and the large percentage of them I've read multiple times.

[mic drop]

I never did quite manage to pick up other languages on my own without being taught, unfortunately. But I managed to retain a staggering amount of information that most people would probably term 'completely useless'.

[silvercrusader]

[See, this is what he meant: he knows a great deal about Kakyoin, what he thinks of, his battle strategies, his worries and his fears-- and yet he hadn't even known his father traveled. Hell, he doesn't know anything about his parents, beyond that they thought Kakyoin was a little odd.

But man, that's awesome. He sits up, knees to his chest.]

So what else do you know about France, hm? Parlez-vous tout français?

[lapidarius]

I don't speak a word of French, so don't start babbling at me. All I know is Japanese, English, and a very small amount of Italian.

[Shrug.]

Most of what I can recall is just a little history, basic locations and how to get from one place to another, what to eat if you're not a fan of gastropods--that kind of thing.
