You're making a large assumption about our friendship, miss, to say that either of us would mind anything. [He states bluntly.] Is that common practice in this establishment?
Not really! The manager told us to spice things up a little. Oops. [ It's too late when she realizes she shouldn't have said that. ] So you are friends but not like close friends?
[ The waitress seems a little surprised by this kind of outcome but tries to act cool about it nonetheless. ]
This might help you strengthen your bond!
[ At least she's not trying to force them to put their fingers in there, but she's relentless on selling them this idea. ]
If you don't want to do it, it's okay.
[ Honestly, this is a strange idea even to Akira. ]
[ Akira lowers his voice, even though he's pretty sure that the waitress can still hear him quite clear. ]
I think we can negotiate.
[ Since Thanatos doesn't seem to be fond of the idea, he turns to the woman again and speaks normally: ]
It might be difficult to give you a tip later with our fingers trapped.
[ That does the trick, actually. A moment later, she shows them around the room, pointing out where they can find all kinds of foods they're serving here, and finally guides Thanatos and Akira to their table. ]
Sorry, I had no idea they like to spice things up like this.
[He's certainly going to hold it against her, however. If she's smart she'll make sure she keeps her distance and holds her ridiculous demands for the rest of the time the two of them are there.
In places like this, Thanatos tends to stand out for no other reason than he's over six and a half feet tall. He has to duck under the doorway on the way in and draws a couple of obvious stares as they're walked across to a table.]
[Hm. Maybe it could be an opportunity to try some things he hasn't looked at before. He glances in the same direction that Akira does when he speaks, and shakes his head slightly at the sight.]
I wonder if she came up with that herself. [Or if the management here have prompted it. Would it be worth saying something about it?
Probably not. He's not that kind of person anyway.]

Once they're at the café and the waitress immediately accosts them, he loosely folds his arms and looks down at her with an entirely dry expression.]

Thanatos gives Akira a quick glance.]
Are they making it a mandatory condition of entry?

I'm not familiar with most of the food here.

Since it's all you can eat, you can take anything that's on the counters, so don't hold back.
[ In the corner of his eye, Akira notices that the waitress tries to sell the finger trap idea to another pair of friends and giggles. ]
I hope they don't have more surprises in store.

You said your name was Akira?
