[Having the door held by a girl . . . well, she's that kind of girl, though, and he likes that about it. He follows her in and heads for the bar, pausing to let her fall in step with him.]
It's gotta be the bar! That's part of the ramen experience! It smells sooooo good in here . . . damn, I haven't had ramen in a while, it's one o' my faves!
[Cerealia's forced her to be more independent...which is both good and bad. Once they're inside though she lets him take the lead again, finding them on equal footing even as she glances at the bar. There're two seats right in the middle, it seems.]
You should have told me...I would have brought you out sooner! [And also it would have been more excuses to spend time with Leon.] Cerealia's great for trying new things but sometimes you just want stuff from home, you know? [She starts to drag him to the bar.] I didn't really get to have ramen much back home either with my schedule. Only sometimes.
Wellll, to be honest, I eat the instant kind plenty . . . I can't really cook, y'know? I'm always ordering out or getting something instant I can make easy! Or goin' out like this, but I hate going out on my own, so I only do this kinda thing if I've got a date. Friend-date, any kinda date! Sometimes you forget how good the real thing is if you eat too much of the instant stuff, right? . . . Not that I don't like the instant stuff too.
[He slides up onto the seat on the right, dangling his legs. The bar is half the fun.]
Any time you got room in your busy schedule for me, I'll come eat ramen or anything else you want, Rise-chan!
[Sometimes it's just endearing to listen to Leon ramble and it reminds Rise just how different he is from her other friends. Not that that's such a bad thing, but it's a good refresher for her. She places herself on his left and turns to half face the counter and half face him instead.]
When I was working all the time take-out was the only way to go. Actually getting to sit down and eat somewhere was pretty rare because I was always so busy, so making my own schedule here has been great. [She smiles though.] I'll always make room for you. But it doesn't always have to be ramen, you know? [She's lifting a hand to flag down a server to procure a menu.] That's half the fun of going out. You try new places and new things.
I'd get sick of anything if I ate it all the time, anyway! . . . You should come over sometime, we could order delivery. Y'know, if you want! But I like gettin' out of the house too, so I win either way, right?
[He winks at her, grabbing a menu when they're offered and flipping it open on the counter. Of course he was already winning, if it's time spent with Rise.]
I'm not tryin' any crazy alien stuff, though. Just sayin'!
Ahh, where's your sense of adventure? [She's mostly teasing him even as she gives a cursory glance through her own menu. She seems to already know what she wants so she's idly perusing their drink options.] That does sound nice though...you and me at your place with good delivery and maybe a good movie or something. I haven't been to your place very much anyway.
Yeah? I'm totally up for this anytime! Sometimes the best kinda date is the staying in kind!
[IT'S CERESFLIX AND CHILL. HELL YEAH.
Okay, she's probably not actually proposing that, but it's still a pretty thrilling prospect. Him and Rise, cuddling on the sofa, watching some movie and eating pizza or whatever, maybe with his hand up her shirt . . .
He shakes himself back to reality long enough to stare at the menu, but he's gotta try the spicy ramen if she's getting it, right? It'd be uncool to pick something else!]

Give her time okay.But she's watching him patiently, pleased with herself and more or less studying him for the time being.]
And since you live alone…we wouldn't be interrupted like we would be at my place either. [But that's all she says before she grins.] Ready to order?
