They were still Rune Knights and he didn't exactly want anything to damage the reputation he 'worked so hard' to build up. Heading to where Keita was currently staying, he wondered where and what he should do in order to have some fun around these parts. Well, he figured part of the fun would be to discover new activities to do and what not aside from always going to the local tavern and getting a drink. He didn't mind the drinking part; it was more like he didn't really fancy the crowds of people there at a certain time of night. Hard to hear him think and have a conversation with his cousin at the same time. making it to his destination, Shichiro would knock on the door to Keita's lodging and ask, "Hey Keita, are you there?"

He walked over to his door fairly quickly, as he was polite to a fault, not wanting to let people wait too long when he was needed, and opened the door, only to hear his cousin start asking if he was there. Keita opened the door, and started speaking with his cousin. “Heya Shichiro, what’s up? Want to come in for a bit?” Keita would offer to his cousin, as he had made sure the amenities were taken care of, and could at least offer him food and tea.

He was all for exploration and information gathering of new areas if he was to make himself comfortable in a new region. He already didn't have a good opinion of this city though he had been in the region before back when he was a werewolf. Though he just stuck by some mountains with another werewolf pack that made a small civilization away from others in the Sieghart Mountains. Still, Shichiro awaited his cousin's answer for a nice little outing. Would be nice to also find someplace he could hang out where they're not too many people hanging around.
Wed Jun 30, 2021 5:58 pm
He knew he had to head towards the door, because his cousin, at least in the casual times where they had hung out before, would always be a bit lazy when it came to actually starting the recreational things, and would prefer to just sit and chill on the couch for as long as possible. Keita had to make his way towards the door with the intent to leave, to try and coax his lazy cousin into actually leaving promptly.

Shichiro would then jump up off the bed and follow his cousin out of the room. With the both of them leaving the room, Shichiro decided to take the lead and walk through the streets of Orchid. He wanted to sample all kinds of food and see what he'd be able to mix and match later down the road. A little bit later down the road, Shichiro had spotted something he wanted to give a try. It was a kind of hotdog stand that seemed to be a bit heavy on the toppings and had quite a bit of variety to his liking.
Wed Jun 30, 2021 10:26 pm
As they were walking, they had finally gotten to a place that had quite a few food stands set up, and it seemed that his cousin was eying some sort of hot dog stand. The stand had quite a few toppings, and Keita had just seen a couple walk away with their hot dogs, and the guy’s was completely covered in topping to the point that Keita could no longer see the actual meat on the dog anymore, and this was a bit strange. The toppings better be good and not just there to mask a crappy hot dog, and so Keita followed Shichiro to the stand and prepared to order.
Thu Jul 01, 2021 4:49 pm
He attempted to make small talk with Keita but at the moment nothing comes to mind as they were pretty much inseparable since they had found each other in Bosco. Seeing as they've been together all this time, there wasn't much to talk about unless they want to talk about their recent work in which they've done for the king and the church. Even that wasn't very fun to talk about as nothing exciting took place either way. Maybe Shichiro should take a break from all this work from time to time and just learn to have fun so he'd have things to do and talk about other than just going to one spot all the time.

Keita had seen his cousin Shichiro order the mini dogs, which were essentially small battered and fried corn dogs with some stuff on them, which seemed good, but Keita felt it would be too greasy for him if he ordered it. Still, he wouldn’t hate on Shichiro for his choice, but wondered why he ordered something that was essentially a snack. “Are you not that hungry Shichiro? Or are you just going to wander around snacking?” Keita asked, wondering if he should have ordered something lighter. The entire food court was essentially here, so there were plenty of things to try out while they were here.
Fri Jul 02, 2021 8:35 pm
Afterwards, Shichiro had looked at all of the mini dogs that were each topped with different things. One with cheese, another with chili, one with diced, caramelized onions, another with relish, one with salsa and one with barbecue sauce, and lastly bacon. He figured a few of these would be a great combo with each other as he was allowed to mix and match a lot of them but he figured he'd keep it simple for now just to know what he was getting into. He took the one with the caramelized onions and dropped it into his mouth, chewing it. He loved the sweetness of the onions as it melded with the meat. He'd then take the tray he had them on and pushed it over towards his cousin to see if he wanted to try one.

Plus, Keita thought about it, and he liked testing things together, so that he could see how different flavors blended to become a unique experience, which is why he went for a hot dog that had quite a few things on it, and it seemed to be popular for a reason. Soon, his hot dog was also out, and he took a large bite out of it, making sure to carefully select a bite that would give him a little bit of everything. After he had finally finished his bite, he enjoyed the tang and the other flavors, and simply turned to his cousin. “Well, I was really hungry, so a lot of toppings on a substantial item is better right now.”
Fri Jul 02, 2021 11:29 pm
He figured he'd get too full too fast and wouldn't be able to try out the food in other destinations if he didn't slow down. But he trusted that his cousin knew better and so he didn't say anything and just let him enjoy his meal. The only thing that felt odd to him was that they were eating hot dogs for breakfast instead of what people considered normal breakfast meals. At least, what he considered a normal breakfast meal. Back from where he was from, fish was pretty common as breakfast but when he moved to Fiore, he had gotten used to eating eggs and meat for breakfast. It was strange but overall delicious. Shichiro would wait for his cousin to finish eating his meal before they moved onto another stall or restaurant.

“Well Shichiro, I want something to go with my food that I’m half done with, so I’ll be stopping here for a bit. Is there anything you want?” Keita would ask his cousin, as the line was moving pretty fast. This stand had a lot of extra stuff already prepared, because the fried foods didn’t need to be made fresh for the most part. Keita wondered if this was something Shichiro would be interested in, or if he wanted to try more actual food than snacks.
Mon Jul 05, 2021 4:21 pm
His cousin then asked him if he wanted anything from a stand that had caught his interest called prawn crackers. He decided he'd stand back in line at the hotdog stand and order the same thing Keita had ordered a little while ago. "Yeah, pick me up some snacks. I think I'm going to just order the same thing you got and scrape the whole "try a little bit of everything deal". I mean, we'll be here for awhile anyway so I might as well take my time with it and try and get something big now like you did. So I'm going to go back to the hotdog stand real fast and get me the same thing you did since admittedly, it looks pretty tasty," Shichiro said.
Mon Jul 05, 2021 4:58 pm
The line was moving pretty fast, and soon it was his turn to ask for some snacks, and so he was finally able to see the menu. He looked through the snacks as the person behind the counter asked him what they could get him. He did not want just any old normal flavors, so he saw some sort of berry potato chip, which seemed strange, so he got a bag, willing to share some with Shichiro if he wanted. He got Shichiro some normal cheese chips in the meantime.
Tue Jul 06, 2021 12:44 am
A few moments had passed and it was finally his time. Now that he got here, he had ordered the exact same dish his cousin got previously and stepped out of the line to wait for it while others placed their orders. Turns out this place also had drinks though it didn't have much variety like other stands did. That was fine with him as plain lemonade was enough to quench his thirst after he had his meal, whenever it would be ready. Looking around he'd see if his cousin had already ordered his drink and the snacks that he requested.
Tue Jul 06, 2021 1:10 am
Keita wondered if there was anything else to do in this town other than take a look at this plaza, no matter how beautiful it was, it still wasn’t something that Keita would call fun. There were benches for chess, but again, he couldn’t see himself playing chess with his cousin, considering how boring the game was and how it didn’t really connect with being in the Rune Knights. Maybe some of the eccentric old commanders of the knights would play chess, but that simply didn’t seem fun. Keita finally got to his cousin and handed him a bag of cheese flavored chips.

Admittedly, exploration was only fun when its unexpected like when he goes out on missions. Within the confines of a town or city, it wasn't the same thing for him. Eventually, he would have discovered it by accident or it would be a tip/reward from a client he had made extremely happy giving him a hunch of where all the good places are but searching for it like this was kind of a pain in the ass. After chewing his food a bit, he paused briefly. before turning to his cousin. "This is really good. I should have gotten this sooner instead. A side note, this isn't exactly as fun as I thought it would be. Its true discovering new things is fun but I think I like it better when its unexpected, ya know?"
Tue Jul 06, 2021 8:04 pm
Back to the topic at hand, his cousin started saying that roaming around the plaza in search of fun snacks and other foods was not really what one would consider fun, and Keita had to agree. Shichiro said that he liked his fun to be more of a surprise, but Keita thought that they could not judge the fun by what they had done so far. “I sort of agree with you, but I feel like getting a few drinks and going to karaoke would have been pretty fun, but wandering around a food court is not. Oh well, maybe next time we’ll find something better to do.” Keita said while shrugging his shoulders.

Quite frankly, he was done with this little adventure for now and was willing to treat it as just going out for some breakfast. Although, it did feel quite weird to eat hotdogs for breakfast. It was good though. After a few more moments, he had finished his meal before taking a sip of his drink. He looked around the marketplace a bit more but he wasn't feeling up to the task of having fun with some recreational activities so he decided it was best to end their little adventure here. Walking back to Keita's place, he continued to sip his lemonade as they made it back. Once inside Keita's room, he went right back to his bed and sprawled over it comfortably as if it was his own. Yup, nothing like being lazy on a new day. With that, he'd just make small talk with his cousin and play little games with him.

His stomach was not in the best place, and he felt the need to go and rest, so he could not agree more with his cousin’s suggestion. “Yeah, let’s go ahead and get out of here, there’s always tomorrow or the next day to try the delicacies around here.” Keita would say, before starting to walk off. He found today entertaining, at least a little, but he was a more refined type of person that could sit there and have tea ceremony, which was all due to the teaching of his mother, while he assumed that Shichiro had a much more active life so far.
