[look-- listen-- there's no need to be rude here okay
Nice, huh? When he puts it that way, Yu can't help but feel like it must be pretty genuine between them. As for the encouragement, he's not fussed. It'll happen if it happens. There's no sense rushing things in a place where everything can change within moments.
He smiles a bit, sighing as he slips a hand into his pocket.]
Alright, I accept defeat. Guess I'll have to let her have you.
[There's a glint in his eye that shows he's kidding. (Mostly.)
As to the apology--]
Thanks, Scott. It's all history, here. But...if there's a next time, let's try talking first.
[He smirks just slightly, going along with the joke, mostly. While he doesn't believe that Kotone would suddenly cheat on him or Yu is that kind of homewrecker guy, he'd actually Fight Him if it happened.
Which may make his next statement a little ironic--]
Yeah, talking things out actually works. [But he's glad he and Yu are cool again. Whatever remaining stress that's been riding on the mutant's shoulders leaves and he huffs out a small laugh. He's... honestly pretty lucky his friends are like this.]
[Yu huffs out a laugh as Scott goes along with it. He's relieved, all said. It may not show, exactly, but he was worried, at the festival, if something had changed irreparably. He's glad to know he was wrong.
His response at first is a small, knowing smile. Talking things through is usually his preferred method of dealing with things, Yosuke notwithstanding --Yosuke seems to be an exception to just about anything, oddly enough-- though if he's being honest, he'd rather not have any drama like that in the future to begin with. It does bother him a little that Kotone never said anything...but that's not really Scott's problem. For now, he's just glad they're still friends.]
--Hm? [Speaking of still being friends. Normally he might protest and counteroffer to split the cost, but if this is an apology gesture, it'd be rude not to take him up on it.]
I'd like that, yeah. Have you tried the cart down there that has different hand pies?
[Of all the people that he snapped at during the festival, Yu probably got the worst of it... but he really just accepted his apology despite being threatened with the equivalent of a high powered laser or something. Sounds a little dumb, but it's true.
While Scott can stand around and be so fucking relieved about all this, a more open and easy smile crosses his face as he joins in the conversation about hand pies and stuff.]
Huh, I haven't actually, but I'll give it a shot. You kinda have a good head when it comes to picking places to eat, the curry place was pretty good.
[It's-- almost nostalgic, a bit, for Yu. As if Scott revealed his own Shadow that needed acceptance. It wasn't exactly like that, not really, but he can appreciate when he's been shown someone's darker side...being trusted in spite of that. It almost feels unfair, sometimes, that other people have to reveal those things and not him.
Maybe that's just a bit of luck that'll run out, eventually.
Anyway, food is an easy subject. Something to bond over, maybe...at least it has been in his experience.]
Glad you liked it. Curry's good, when it's made right. [Chie. Yukiko. He nods for now, gesturing in the direction of the pie place.] I haven't tried it either. It'll be a first for both of us.
That goes for most food, wouldn't you say? But guess if you really screw up curry, it's nasty as hell.
[It's probably easier to get away with messing up a sandwich, not that he screws that up or anything. Just meat, cheese, and lettuce, even he can pull that off.]
Wait, you haven't even tried it before? Almost feel like a guinea pig now.
[Is this Yu's secret way of getting back at him.....]
[A strange expression crosses his face for a moment and then abates. He's had his share of cooking messes, but nothing comes remotely close to the out-of-body experience that was Mystery Food X...or its harrowing sequel, Mystery Food 2: The Omelet Boogaloo.
He chuckles, waving off the suspicion.]
We'll be trying it together. It'll be an experience for us both.
