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.

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.]
action;
action;
Kuzuryuu.
[It is not spoken like someone who is fluent in Japanese or anything, but listen to her roll that 'r' there. And that beaming smile because she is so proud of herself.]
I've been practicing!
[What happened to asking for advice...]
action;
Ah, I s-- wait what? What do you mean "coming up in conversation a lot"? Who is "we"? You and Dipper?
[He actually is a little proud to hear that she can finally say his last name right, but he's more concerned with the whole talking about him thing. What have you been saying, Mabel?? And to whom??]
action;
Oh Dipper and I talk about you a lot.
[A pause.]
Or...we did, anyway. He was a little worried about me being friends with Yakuza, since Stan's probably gotten in trouble with the mafia in a bunch of other countries by now and also he's really paranoid and stuff, but it's fine.
[Actually, thinking about it now she has to giggle a little around a spoonful of parfait.]
Did you know at one point, when coming up with theories about why we're here, he mentioned, like, the Chinese mafia? Said they might have kidnapped us and we're just really in this big compound of theirs or something. Like this is all some kind of big social experiment. We discarded that pretty quick though, since we're not sure if China has this kind of futuristic technology.
[Another bite of parfait.]
We're pretty sure Blandin is behind this. We're all stuck in the future. The year Snevinty-something or whatever.
action;
[Oh good, another name with an L in it that he can't really pronounce. He tried though. Burandin.]
action;
[A few more bites of parfait.]
And then, a little while later, he came back and invoked this ancient rite of Globnar or whatever, which is gladiatorial time combat, but we tricked these suckers into giving us a time tape measure and went back in time to escape it, but we found out all about our friend's Soos' dad and how sad he was, and that if you win Globnar you get a time wish which can do literally anything! Literally! So we decided to fight Blandin in all of these hard challenges. We got to fight a cyclocks and I rode a unicycle on a tightrope and we even got to drive a motor cycle in a time race! And then the end challenge was laser tag and we totally kicked his butt.
So we got the time wish and we gave Blandin his title back and even gave him some nice hair so we're not sure why he'd do something like this to us but like...how else can you explain it??
