Even though it was all of this was ostensibly a new beginning, a new life, a new way to act and present himself, Elias felt locked inside of old habits and mannerisms from the old world... he cursed himself for being so timid with such a bold woman in front of him.<em>I'll never get used to her.</em>"Oh these? They're delicious, Keiyuri." Elias bit into another of the takoyaki balls, with a sharp inhalation of breath and waving his hand in front to try and cool the molten goodness inside."Don't knock it until you try it. Its tasty precisely because its so unrefined. Although..." Elias noticed she was recoiling more from the octopus bit inside than from the specific food itself. He stabbed a differently sauced takoyaki ball and held out the skewer for Keiyurikyuu to take,  "If sushi isn't your speed, try this one with caramel on it, its got bacon so it's like a little pancake breakfast in a bit."
