To Wakako, another day at work meant only one thing: another day of trying new delicious food. Where would she go today, what would she eat? Was there a type of cuisine she longed for, a certain flavour? Was it fish, meat, vegetables, maybe even potatoes?
As she pondered all her options walking down the street, checking every little place she saw on the way, she had begun to form some ideas. She’d go and eat fish, at the very least. She didn’t know which ones yet, but she’d figure out soon enough!
Her train of thought was disrupted however, as someone approached her to ask her a question. And what a question it was! Yes, they had absolutely come to the right person! If there was one thing Wakako knew, it was food!
“… Ah! I, uhm, I do know some places.”
If there was one thing Wakako didn’t know, however, it was how to formulate decent sentences in one go. Just answering with a ‘yes’ was clearly not what the other had intended when they’d asked the question, so Wakako took a moment to think of her next sentence before continuing.
“I was going to, uh… Look for a place to eat some fish. They’re down the road, over there,” she pointed in the direction to ensure the other would know which way it was, “… I was going to see where I was going to eat. Uhm, if you like fish, that is. If you don’t, I could probably take you to another place you’d like more..?”
perfect! it seems eve asked just the right person to help her. she sighed in relief when the other said they knew some places. “fish is just fine! it sounds good!” in fact, fish with rice sounded the best now that eve was thinking about it.
“do you mind if i join you? i promise i won’t get in your way!” she seemed nice and eve... also really didn’t trust herself to not miss the restaurant even with the other pointing her in the right direction. knowing herself she’d get mixed up and turned around somehow and end up on the other side of the city.
