[ The festival's merry air affects Marie immediately in the form of unadulterated joy. Brightness, talented dancers and singers, the delicious smell of food... no matter how you look at it, there is no way anybody can't enjoy themselves in some way or another, and Marie most of all is a party girl of sorts.
It was by mere luck that Samatoki has caught her alone, what with the rush of friends she hung out with before they split ways. Things are never boring with her, when it comes to having friends surrounding her, one coming after the other. She knows how to keep herself busy.
His remark sounds odd, but still rings true, and the way he says it is amusing, so she chuckles at him. ]
Indeed, it must be fate that we always meet up in such a way! That just means we should now spend a bit of time together, non?
[ His forehead creases just a little. For a brief second, he looks uncomfortable with the idea of spending time with her. Samatoki doesn't dislike her, but he's not a very friendly person in general. ]
Non? [ Ah... maybe that means something? He's not sure, but he dismisses it pretty quickly so he can answer her actual question. ]
Uh... shouldn't you be spendin' time with your actual friends, though?
[ His brow twitches at that. What an odd thing to say. ]
You barely even know me and you're saying we're friends already.
[ Samatoki isn't really the most pleasant person around. No one's ever claimed to be his friend after a few encounters. (Then again, he helped her out during those times.) ]
I don't know any French words. [ Hm, wait... He starts thinking about it now. ] Is "croissant" French?
[ Spoken like it's the most obvious thing. Who wouldn't call someone a friend after all the help they offered her?
A the mention of that specific word, she snorts amusedly. ]
Croissants have been originated from Austria, but developed in France, so yes, it's a french word!
[ It pleases her regardless, since she was born in Austria too. Actually, that means she's got a lot in common with croissants... such a funny thought! ]
[ That guy sounds like someone who has great taste. A man of culture. ]
I wish I could listen to him. [ And get an earful of all that rap in the meantime. ] But at the cost of being biased, French is such a lovely language to start with if you'd like to learn!
[ Without flinching or stuttering: ] Everything that is french food is ideal, but I also have a penchant for mildly spicy curry. I also tried tonkatsu once and loved it! I suppose it also goes well with ramen, doesn't it?
[ She, a spirit who doesn't actually need to eat, is very fired up about food. ]
[ He sounds plenty confident! He cooks like a housewife, so Marie will get a delicious meal with cute plating... Despite Samatoki's tough exterior, he's plenty soft. ]
So, where'd you wanna go? I ain't that into festivals, but it's nice that people seem happy here.
[ He tenses like a popsicle and looks away... dammit. He can't even say anything bad because this feels good? At least, there's some Chroma trickling in his system and he. . . likes it. ]

[ They're... friends. She decided that all by herself. No escape route for you, Samatoki!
And then, addressing his confusion: ]
Allow me to also apologize in advance if I insert some french here and there. I love my favourite language too much to resist.

... some guy likes to add French words to his rap. Guess it makes things a little more flavourful. [ A pause. ] Maybe I should learn another language.

Yeah, I wanna learn. You up to teach?
no subject
Bien sûr! Of course! Thank you for giving it a chance! I suppose we could start the lessons someday after the festivities?
no subject
[ I hope you're ready for a dumb student, Marie... ]
What kinda food do you like? I'll cook lunch for you or somethin' to pay for the lessons.

no subject
Ramen goes well with everything! Guess I'll just make you a buncha Japanese stuff. You gotta try gyoza and mentaiko spaghetti.
no subject
I vaguely recall either of those dishes, so I am afraid you will have to refresh my memory. Tee hee!

no subject
I was curious about what foods they serve here, but I'd also like to see if they have fun games I could play, or pretty shows to watch!
no subject
Do ya know what a churro is?
no subject
[ She admits, a bit sheepishly. This coming from someone who never had the pleasure to eat pizza in her entire 250+ spiritual years until recently. ]
It sounds quite Spanish?
no subject
[ He just knows what they're called... Forgive him, Marie, for not being smart. ]
It's good. Let's go get some.
no subject
Certainly! Let us go before they run out! You got me curious!
