It wasn't a bad place they'd found, all told. The building may have been abandoned, and there was some water damage going on if you looked close, but it had a kitchen with a stove, and even some leftover soup pots big enough to serve a prison mess.

The front room was small and quaint. A decent-looking bar, these little Victorian style tables and chairs, plus some big armchairs in decent condition, the comfiest of which Kariya had claimed almost instantly and pretty much been sprawled out in ever since.

Technically, Uzuki had him set to work the register. Except they hadn't actually been able to find a register, and Kariya had interpreted "work" to mean "Google a Solitaire download from the comfort of your armchair."

(He hadn't found one.)

This shop. Terrible idea? Sure. More work than it was worth? Most likely. Completely missing the point of a vacation? Oh hell yes.

But he was getting paid ramen-and-a-half. Couldn't damn well argue with that.

Naminé nearly jumped as the hedgehog seamlessly laid the choice on her shoulders. To be fair, it wasn't entirely because of that that she was startled; she'd been staring with a little apprehensive at the waiter's(?) strange wings, and being noticed for another reason was almost as bad as getting caught outright. She gave the man one last glance before joining Sonic at the menu.

To be perfectly honest, she was having only marginally better luck reading it than he was. The second word seemed to consistently spell out "ramen," but the first words down the list didn't seem to spell anything at all. Or be in any particular order. At random, she picked the most legible of them and sounded it out.

"Um... 'sh..shoyu ramen.'" Purely by chance, she pronounced it right on the first try, but she looked to Kariya for confirmation - and a second later decided maybe it was better to ask Sonic instead. "What's shoyu?" she whispered.
