Nightwake-Early August-Cafe Somewhere | Closed to Gintoki

[candybreak]

[One thing Break liked about cafes is that they always had some kind of sweet treats for sale. The place he's visiting today's specialty is parfaits. Not his normal treat, but he wanted to change it up a bit.

Unfortunately, today is also pretty crowded from the sounds of things, so when Break taps his cane against an empty chair, he wastes no time taking it and sitting down.]

I hope you don't mind~

[He says that less to be polite and more to see if there actually is a person sitting across from him.]

[ Gintoki is very busy with his current parfait. The amount of money those trials paid him weren't nearly enough for the shit it put him through, but he's sure going to spend it on everything that would normally be out of his reach. Like a copious amount of sweets.

It's bad for him, but a man has to cope somehow.

He's so caught up with eating it that he doesn't realise, at first, that Break is speaking to him. A second or two pass before he does, and he looks up with a quiet sound of surprise. ]

Ah, uh, no. Go ahead.

[ Hold up, is that--?

A fellow silver haired guy! You'd think a place like this would have more of those, seriously. ]

[candybreak]

[Break was already eating his parfait when Gintoki responds. Without taking the spoon out of his mouth, he gives the man an absentminded thanks. He debates ignoring his tablemate completely, but remembers that he's trying to be more friendly.]

Ah~ This place is truly one of the best places for sweets, don't you agree? That must be why its always so crowded.

[permboy]

[ He hums in thought. ]

It's no D*nny's parfait, but it's pretty good.

[candybreak]

[Break squints his eye in the general direction of the voice. Is he supposed to know who that is? He puts on a too wide smile after a second.]

Who is D*nny? A friend of yours?

[permboy]

No no, it's a restaurant. They got the best parfaits back home. The food's sorta whatever, but.

[ A shrug. He'll happily enough go there for both just to avoid visiting two places. ]

[candybreak]

Well, as long as they had good parfaits, who really needs anything else?

[Break is teasing, but there is a slight curiosity as to how good those parfaits actually were. He wants to try one.]

[permboy]

Exactly! The dessert's the most important part of the whole meal.

[ And sometimes the only part of a meal that he'll have. ]

I'm Gintoki.

[candybreak]

It truly is ♡

My name is Xerxes Break. It's a pleasure to meet you, Gintoki.

Have you found any other good places for desserts around here perchance?

[permboy]

Oh, yeah, lots. I've got a favourite dango place in Sunwaning, and a favourite cake place in Amberfall. Still looking for the best parfait. This one's a contender.

[ Is this what he's been spending his time on since arriving? If he'd had more money, the answer would be yes, but he's put a pretty significant effort into it. ]
