( He hates this limbo he has himself stuck in, incapable of sticking to either sets of his morality, never knowing which direction to take. Is she human? He doesn't know. Does he want to know? Does it even really matter? Will answering that send him spiralling further?
Time to suck it up. )
You didn't bother me.
I'll come with you to the buffet. I'm sure it will be fine. Is Jinzhou where you're fine?
Having lived a life in which you are content in your death, even if it's not something you have a choice in, is something to be envied of. Most people can't say that for themselves.
I don't know who you are. I just know what you've told me about yourself:
You want to watch me eat. You avoid competition and being around people. You think sharing food is important, but you haven't done it with anyone else here in a while. You have two daughters and you're dead, but you're here, and that's something, whatever that means.
... It just seems to me like it's an otherwise lonely existence. Isn't it tiring?

she'll give him this get out of jail card, he can take it if he wants it: ]
Tell me when you're free to go to the teahouse. I'll come with you, if you still want my company.

I'm sorry if I bothered you. I thought I'd ask if you're available, but I'll keep in mind your restrictions with food next time.
Jinzhou is big on hospitality, and the best way they like to show it is by sharing food with others.

... well, sure. it's not wrong if she says otherwise. she was from jinzhou. ]
... I don't want you to just stare at me eat.
I will go with you to the cafe instead.
And yes, I came from Jinzhou.

But it's been a while since I went for a meal with anyone, it's possible I'm rusty.

It's not like we can decide to go home. And not everyone would want to either.

Ah, it doesn't matter if I want to or not.
I'm dead back home. Or I will be very shortly. I don't particularly have a say in it.

I'm not.

LILITH was just particularly clever with the timing, that's all.

You avoid competition and being around people.

It's entirely possible I'm just not an extravert.
And that this place does not lend itself easily to that.
