This is Kuzuryuu Fuyuhiko. Obviously, I'm not here right now, so leave a message and maybe I'll get back to you later if it's not something stupid.

Order anything you want, I've got it.
[Hot drinks are good for feeling better, yes? Yes. Something sweet doesn't hurt either.]
action;
Anything? Are you sure?
[Okay, usually people just ask her if she wants this or that and she's okay with that. But being told she can get anything is different.]
action;
Wouldn't have said it if I wasn't.
[Yup, anything.]
action;
After a moment she's decided, letting go of his pants to approach the counter more fully and give the cashier her order. Hot chocolate sounds good, yes. With whipped cream, yes please! Annnd one of those really big, delicious looking strawberry parfaits! Just as the second item leaves her mouth though, it's followed by a, "wait," and she turns to look back at her friend.]
Is it okay if I get both?
action;
Yeah, go ahead.
action;
action;
Wanna go pick a seat?
[Meanwhile, he'll pay for this and presumably bring it over once they've prepared everything.]
action;
But alright, gonna go pick a seat! It takes a few moments, because it's gotta be juuuust the right seat...oh! This cute little table looks perfect over here. Out of the way, cozy against a wall, perfect! And when he reaches the table with all the goodies, she's quick to take a sip of her hot chocolate.]
This is really good...thank you.
[That small smile from before persists because it's hard to be sad when you have sweet stuff to enjoy with a friend...]
action;
[Is he joking or is he serious, it's really kind of hard to tell from both his tone and his expression. He's probably serious though.]
And you're welcome.
action;
Nope, no need to do that! Though I guess I haven't tried the parfait yet, so maybe it's too soon to talk.
[Is she joking or se--nah it's easy to tell she's joking, even if she is going to try that immediately. Apparently the parfait is up to snuff though, judging by how Mabel's expression lights up.]
Wow! This is delicious! [And a few more happy bites following that.]
action;
Good.
action;
Wanna try some? You didn't get anything to eat.
[And also you were nice enough to get her something at all.]
action;
action;
[She doesn't mind sharing! Though better change your mind pretty quick because that's probably going to be gone pretty quick.]
action;
[Definitely not going to change his mind since it has nothing to do with hunger and everything to do with not wanting to be stuck with stomach pains later. He takes another sip of tea.]
By the way...if you need anything, just give me a call, alright?
action;
The girl falls quiet at that, slowing down in her consuming of the parfait. It only lasts a moment, but she nods and sets the treat down, half finished.]
Okay.
[She fiddles with the hem of her sweater for a minute or so before looking up at Kuzuryuu.]
Um...do you mean anything anything...?
action;
[Nothing inappropriate, Mabel. He's not going to kiss you or let you grab his butt or anything weird like that.]
Why, did you think of something already?
action;
...do you...I mean, would it be weird if I asked for a hug?
[That isn't inappropriate, is it?]
action;
[But oh. Okay.]
...that wouldn't be weird, no.
[Okay well...actually it would be sort of weird since they're in public and hugging in general is just kind of weird for someone like Kuzuryuu. But these are kind of special circumstances and Mabel IS a kid. So it's different, and more importantly: it's okay.]
[Though that doesn't make him the best choice to ask for something like that. Almost anybody else would be a better option, really.]
action;
With the okay though, Mabel gets out of her chair, quickly makes her way around the table and practically latches onto Kuzuryuu. Sorry that it's weird out in public, but you know this is just something she really needs right now. He's not even an awful choice.
He's a friend and that's really what matters here. Though with how tight it is it may last a few minutes, sorry about that...]
action;
[Though if she tries to keep this going longer than a minute, he is going to start trying to nudge her away. Sorry but...again, it's in public and that's weird and even if his big brother instincts are kicking in something fierce right now, he still wouldn't exactly call himself and Mabel close. Not that he wouldn't mind that changing, surprisingly enough.]
action;
Thank you.
[Okay gonna go sit back down and not make this too weird. Drink some of that hot chocolate.]
action;
[Nothing to see here. Just a guy drinking his tea. Yup. That's it.]
action;
...hey Hiko, does that offer go for advice too?
[Once that question's out, she goes back to her parfait. Just watching him and waiting for a reply.]
