( oh so you're just gonna make her google how vegetarian friendly swedish food is huh )

sure
why not
when?

[mindthebass]

(SHES NEVER TOLD HIM, OKAY.)

tonight?

there's also an Icelandic restaurant.

[bratherine]

( she knows this but still!!!

Hm, tonight... )

i'm free after 8.
you trying to book up my calendar?

( she's not complaining. )

cw food issues

[mindthebass]

If you thought it was a bad thing you weren't going to come anyway.

don't worry, it's not like i eat a lot, so we won't be going to a lot of restaurants as time goes by.

[bratherine]

( s i r )

didn't say it was a problem

( still too tsun to say she actually kind of likes it tho. )

where do you wanna meet?

[mindthebass]

mhm... by your place?

[bratherine]

works for me

[mindthebass]

have you ever had it?

[bratherine]

no

( not exactly a lot of restaurants offering swedish or icelandic fare in her hometown. )

first time for everything 🤷‍♀️

[mindthebass]

most of what we eat are sandwiches anyway. i'm sure you'll like at least something.

[bratherine]

( we, huh? well that answers one question she's had. )

it's not all meat or anything is it

( and there is, in a roundabout way, an answer to why she wanted to know what they were eating. )

[mindthebass]

it can be, but from what i remember, we can make the vegan versions. you've never heard of köttbullar med gräddsås?

(LANGUAGE FROM THE VIKINGS.)

[bratherine]

didn't say that, either.

( IKEA exists, tyvm. )

never tried any of it, though.

[mindthebass]

(yeah but ikea in sweden is just ikea with Swedish food listen)

they can be made with something else, if i'm not mistaken.

didn't know you didn't eat meat.

[bratherine]

it's too heavy
don't like it

( also she, uh, has had some truly bad mishaps cooking with it that have made it entirely unappealing. )

[mindthebass]

fish and chicken are okay, though?

[bratherine]

that's still meat

[mindthebass]

fair point.

i'll call in and check the vegan options, anyway.

[bratherine]

good

( read: thanks )

if not, i know a place or two

( which is a way of saying she'd like to not cancel on account of her dietary choices. How flattering. )

[mindthebass]

i'll let you know.

i'd invite you to my place afterwards, but i have a roommate.

[bratherine]

plenty of places we can go after

( but maybe they don't need to plan to the finest detail )

we can figure shit out tonight

[mindthebass]

(oh, so that's a yes. he kind of expected it to be a one-time thing, not him testing waters.)

deal.

[bratherine]

( it was fun. Why give up on a fun thing when you're in hell?

But, honestly, as long as theyre both enjoyimg themselves, post-restaurant plans could be as simple as grabbing a drink and sitting by the river. )

cya later then

[mindthebass]

(what a trip today has been. he's met the boss, played for her, had been said that tamamo would endorse him... and what the hell does he even want, really? no fucking clue whatsoever. it's always like this - he'll go for it because he has no other desires, no other fallbacks.

but enough. a quick text to kate should tell her that he's downstairs, acoustic guitar on his back and warm clothing keeping his frail body styled.)

[bratherine]

( She's just finishing up getting ready when the text arrives, so he'll have to endure a moment's waiting before the noise of someone hurrying down the stairs
fills the apartment halls. )

Hey.

( Casual as anything, and probably making Shin's wrapped up warm chic look a little out of place with her cropped hoodie and jeans combination, hair pulled back into a high ponytail. She steals a glimpse at the guitar on his back before pushing the door to the building open and letting them both out. )

Been working?

( She's guessing. )
