Having recently partaken in another match, Senri was now strolling about in the vicinity, checking out the various food stalls that she had not done so earlier. Already she had made some purchases - hefting a leg of lamb that was large enough even for herself. There were some spices on it that she didn't know of, but it tasted fine enough.

And with the subject of sustenance settled, her mind wandered over to the previous matches in the past few days. Or more specifically, the other members in the team. They rotated around a lot.

The oni's interest, naturally, was drawn to the person that had been present throughout. A rather feisty young lady, in her opinion.

"Mhmm... Might as well." With another bite, she strolled off.

*Recently after finishing a match, Crystal had gone off to the food stalls to check out some delicious Runran cuisine. She was absolutely giddy; ever since she had met her first teacher in Salvania, who was Runran herself, she had always yearned to get a taste of the food. Of course, she had to restrict herself a little; gaining too much weight wouldn't be a good look. For now though, she would enjoy the hot red bean Taiyaki she had just ordered.*

*She took a stroll in the area, smelling everything delicious and trying to stop herself from eating it all. Maybe if she burned out her spellcasting in the next match? That way she would be able to stay slim.*
Judith
Recently, it seemed that there had been more people bumping into her. Was it finally time, perhaps, for Senri to do unto others what others had done unto her?

As it happened... Nope! The oni might have been preoccupied with chewing and sightseeing, but her detection capabilities had kicked in just in time, allowing her to avoid colliding with the person who she'd unknowingly crossed paths with.

Of course, considering that it was *Just* In time, she'd just blundered right into the other party's personal space. Senri quickly stepped away.

"Ah, my apologies. I wasn't paying enough attention to... Hm? It's you."
Sharilyn
*Crystal too would not be paying attention to her surroundings, and almost walked right into the oni. However, Senri would feel something akin to a cushion of air keeping the two apart, keeping her personal space. Crystal slowly looked up; clearly she wasn't the best at reacting to physical obstacles.*

"Oh, no worries, things like this happen all the time. Me? Oh yes! I'm sure you saw me at the festival?"

*Crystal gave Senri a closer look before gasping.*

"Wait wait wait, you're on my team for the festival, oh dear, so sorry about that!"
Judith
"Don't worry about it, we haven't really spoken before." The oni scratched the side of her head somewhat awkwardly - It was rather difficult not to in such situations, and how was she to continue along this line of conversation? So she decided to switch subjects, sizing up the food item Crystal was holding.

"A fan of sweet foods?" She nodded towards the taiyaki. "There's a stall doing an ice cream version of that ahead, and one selling crepes as well."
Andy
"Oh, uh, right! You guys do this for greetings and all right?"

*Crystal would do a bow, though she seemed a little stiff in doing in doing so.*

"I'm Crystal Bellerose."

*She took a bite of her hot taiyaki, and her face immediately brightened. Seems that Senri was right.*

"I am, but stop tempting me! I can't eat too much of it, or I'll turn into a sack of lard!"

*Meanwhile Crystal was quite thin, and looked like perhaps she could use a bit more food.*
Hugh
"Mhm, nice to meet you. I'm Senri." She too did a bow. Another second of contemplation later, a hand stretched out proffering a handshake.

The oni observed the... Situation(?) and noted down Crystal's very apparent lack of weight. Almost alarmingly so, even.

*And where have I heard this song and dance before...*

Senri might have been single, but the same did not apply for her siblings back home. The oni with over sixty years of life experience had long since become an aunt, and she recalled one of her nieces saying as much when she'd last visited.

"We can always split a single portion." Allowing herself a smile. "You can take the first bites of each, and I'll finish up so it won't be a waste. This way, you can have a taste without overeating. Would that be alright?"
Andy
*Crystal hastily accepted the handshake, careful not to drop her food. She seemed inexperienced in their culture, but remained confident and peppy.*

"Ooh, that sounds like a great idea! So like a half and half thing, right? Or, a 60 40, 70 30, yada yada-you get the idea. Oh, by the way, what filling is inside of these? Is it true that it's actually beans?"

*Crystal showed Senri the inside of her Taiyaki, which was indeed filled with red bean.*
Hugh
"Yes, it's all red beans ground into paste. For this type at least - recently they've also been adding things such as custard or cheese, or even meat. Those would be more acquired tastes." From her smile, it seemed that Senri approved of such innovations, even if she herself might not have enjoyed some of them.

Although there were certainly foodstuffs that did not belong in taiyaki, or perhaps even straight up sacrilegous to be spoken of in the same vein as the prior category... But that was another matter.

"I'll lead the way."
Andy
"Wow! Back home, beans are more of a savory thing. Custard seems like it would fit. Cheese would be really salty... Though a meat and cheese one I could see."

*Another bite was taken daintily, as if she was consciously attempting to not get food stuck on the corners of her mouth.*

"Sure thing!"
Hugh
"At that point it leans more towards being savory than sweet, I would reckon."

And lead the way Senri did, retracing her steps until they were six stalls away from their original position and facing a stall with a decent queue. With her height advantage, she could confirm that this was the stall selling crepes.

"Mhm, looks like business is doing well."
Andy
"Hm, true. Though, maybe you could do both!"

*Crystal continued to slowly munch on her taiyaki, though she was making noticable progress on it.*

"Ooh, crepes! What fillings do they have?"
Hugh
"It seems to be mostly different types of fruits, plus the usual slab of cream... Hm?"

The oni had caught sight of both the pricing board and something else she'd yet to see before.

"There's one in particular with both strawberries and some sort of... Brown squares? Whatever it is, it's a tad more expensive than the other options."
