[This restaurant is the most fanciest, and also doesn't offer food specific to any particular location, but is heralded for the chef that runs it. The decor is sleek and professional, just as the other costumers themselves look for the evening. Some diners may find themselves sitting out, but it's fine; the weather may be usually be cold outside (baby), but the heating from the building and how clear the day has been will keep you cosy enough.

The music is classical, and pianos and violins the main components of the most of the pieces. Diners will have been told to dress their best. They will also want to pick from their menus wisely, as the foods and drink can get expensive. There is a drinks bar available.

The candles here are white. Beside each candle, there's a card. Each card has a different letter-number combination. Find your table!

Clear thankfully didn't notice that people were looking at them in quite a demeaning, if not uncertain, manner, namely over Ike's lesser etiquette and his own energy. It was a good thing he was pretty engrossed in his partner for the night, lest he catch sight of the side-long stares and feel immediately self-conscious about himself again.

"No, I haven't! It is very lean," he noted, slicing into the lamb in a much finer manner than Ike was. He dipped it into the mint sauce and took yet another bite, savoring its delectable flavor and minty freshness to the fullest.

"I can't say that I am quite as fond of fattier meats," he admitted, dipping his fork curiously into his salad now. "They do taste good, but they make my stomach feel a little... strange. Does that happen to you, Ike-san? Is that normal?"

[welikeike]

"No. That doesn't happen to me." He chewed another bite and then swallowed before he continued. "But some people don't like fattier meats. I'm fine with them, but not everybody is."

People began to turn away again to mind their own business, even though they were startled by Clear and upset by Ike's manners at first. They had bigger fish to fry. Eat. Yeah.

"What kind of food do you like the best, then?"

[kuragekasa]

"What kind of food do I like the best? Aah, that... That is a tough question! Um, um..." Clear shuffled a little in his seat, excitably pondering the wonders of the many foods he'd sampled throughout his life. Now that he thought deeply about it, what was his favorite food? It was so hard to choose!

"I... I think it would be sweet food! Chocolate and candy and sweet breads!" He chirped gleefully, tasting his house salad briefly and savoring its flavor. "But then, what is Ike-san's favorite food? Unless that is the fatty meat."

Then that would... make sense, given how heartily he was eating.

[welikeike]

"Sweets, huh?" Ike would remember that. If ever he found himself with some, they could go to Clear. It happened sometimes, really.

"I like spicy food. But spicy meat? That's definitely my favorite." The easy way to Ike's heart is through cooking his favorite dishes, and that was the one.

[kuragekasa]

"You certainly are very fond of meat, aren't you, Ike-san?" He, um... He's okay with some meats, but he still can't fully share that sentiment. That's mystifying, really, how someone could love meat so much to that extent. Clear personally just... wanted to stick with sweets and soups.

"Well, then... does that mean you like nikujaga?" He idly chattered as he continued to eat, savoring his food and his tea to the fullest. "If Ike-san likes nikujaga, I could make some soon! It is full of potatoes and meat!"

[welikeike]

"Ni-ku-jaga..." Ike stumbled through the word as he repeated it aloud. "I've never heard of it before, but if it's just potatoes and meat, I'm sure I'd like it. That sounds right up my alley."

Clear's offer brought on another question in Ike's mind. "Do you like to cook?"

[kuragekasa]

Clear gasped as though what he said was an insult to his family's name. Not that he really, you know, had any surviving 'family' left...

"Ike-san, of course I do! Cooking is one of my favorite things to do! It is a very important life skill." He bobbed his head up and down, briefly pausing to take a quick sip of his drink before prattling on. "I would like to cook everything I can for you, Ike-san! I have many meat recipes. Nikujaga, meat buns, gyoza, okonomiyaki, tebasaki, chicken chashu, oyakodon... um, basically, very many dishes!"

As in, probably heaven for one Crimean at the table.
