I'm not sure if I would call it the best thing. Not to mention that I do think that depends on individual taste.
[ He's not going to claim that his own taste is the only one around - and besides, even though he's really come to like ice cream, he will readily admit that there are a lot of things here he likes to eat. Especially when he's getting to explore so many food options he never had back home.
.. then again, that includes a whole lot of options when he was just eating whatever he came across out there in the field back home..
Not that he's going to mention that. Instead he just smiles for Hiyori, making sure to keep up the lighthearted mood as they walk. ]
But it is really good. I just have to warn you that it can be rather cold, so you might not want to eat it too quickly, or it will make your head hurt! [ He doesn't know the term brain freeze, apparently.. ] But it comes in many wonderful flavors, so I am sure there must be at least one among them that will suit your refined tastes, milady!
[ Look, Hiyori-- apparently you're refined now. He has decided this is the case. ]
That's true, but I wasn't asking everyone else. I was asking you. You are the tour guide.
[ as they walk, hiyori folds her hands behind her back and looks around. the health bars are getting easier to ignore over time so she can take in the rest of somnius. the townsfolk and the buildings. it is very much like songerein in structure. like someone out of a story book.
to be the fly on the wall when inigo got BRAIN FREEZE for the first time. ]
I-I don't know if my tastes are all that refined! [ he wasn't there when she kept getting paired up with GAMBLING ADDICTS and BUMS. she also loves MMA fighting. and she drools when she sleeps. and somnius decided it wanted to make her TURN INTO AN APE. a pink one. ] I promise I'm just a normal girl, Inigo-san...
[ Don't worry, Hiyori. Inigo has complete faith in your refined abilities. Complete. Faith.
No pressure.
At least he's still smiling at her, even when she speaks on. He can't help but remark: ] A normal girl? Milady, you can't be serious about that! No ordinary person would have your kind of beauty, or your beautiful kindness!
[ A compliment for her outside and her inside, huh? He truly is covering all bases.
Though even compliments can't distract him from.. well, that thing at the end there, making him blink curiously. ]
Though.. what do you mean by 'relatively', if I may be so bold to ask?
[ NO PRESSURE SURE and yet the pressure from the compliments leaves her feeling SO AWKWARD. her cheeks color in self-consciousness and she's at a loss for words.
for once, FOR ONCE, she is actually grateful she isn't normal. she is RELATIVELY normal because it takes the pressure off her responding to the praise.
you may be bold, inigo. YOU HAVE BEEN BOLD. ]
Um. [ how does she put this succinctly and in an understandable way when ICE CREAM is a novelty to this dude? ] W-well, relative to others in Somnius. [ she knows gods. spirits. an ai, now, apparently. also the CUTEST DUCKLING EVER, WEBBYCHAN. ] I'm just a human who goes, um, went to high school. [ her brow. furrows.
does he know what high school is?? surely, SURELY he knows what SCHOOL is. ]
Who... may have had the power to... lose her soul. Once in a while?
[ See, usually school would have been the wildest part of that statement, since Inigo really had to learn about the concept here..
.. but then Hiyori adds.. well. You know.
Inigo stares at her. As they walk. It's a small miracle he's not walking straight into something, because this boy truly is not looking ahead of him. Instead he's staring at her with wide, surprised eyes as he asks: ]
[ AVOIDING EYE CONTACT LIKE THE PLAGUE. if it looks like he's going to run into someone/something, hiyori grabs his shirt and gently pulls so he doesn't. ]
Lose.
[ she should explain but she doESN'T WANT TO EXPLAIN. it's weird!! ]
I-it's just this thing! That happens! Not a big deal! I'm used to it?!
At least he doesn't seem freaked out by her, just.. really confused?! Inigo is still trying real hard to piece this thought together in his mind, especially when he just can't even imagine what that must be like.. ]
Isn't that a bad thing?! Don't you really need that?!
[ SHE STILL DOES NOT LOOK AT HIM!!!! rather at her feet. HE WOULDN'T WOULD HE. he didn't hear of ICE CREAM.
that's not the point. he has every right to be confused with her backtracking and vagueness over the entire thing. because it's WEIRD. she wants to be normal, inigo. help. why did she say anything aaaaa ]
W-well, yeah! It's my soul, so I definitely need it! [ it's probably bad but she can't see it as bad because she met yato and yukine and everyone. she's been able to spend time with them because of it. ]
It! Eventually!! Comes back to my body after a while! So, so no harm done! And I prayed to a god to figure out a way to stop it from happening.
[ this probably isn't reassuring.......... she is grasping at straws here ]
[ Surprisingly enough, for all of Inigo's confusion and freaking out about the rest of the story, this part doesn't really seem to bother him at all? It's almost as if the god talk is very normal to him, even on the level of her casual mention, compared to the soul talk that completely freaks him out.. ]
