[Akko should really be at her job today. But. Well. As it turns out, antique and oddities shops don’t take all that kindly to clumsiness. So, Akko’s out of a job. So maybe it’s not so much that she should be at a job as it is she should be looking for a job.]
[But there are more days to come where she can do that. So, the invitation to go for a walk sounds nice enough. She’s certainly willing to accept any and all excuses not to keep trying to scrounge up part-time work.]
sure! did u have somewhere in mind to go?
[That seems a very Diana thing to do. Why do anything for its own sake seems to be a philosophy of hers, anyway. But Akko’s happy to play along and maybe even trick Diana into...having fun!?]
[Food is amazing and chief among one of Akko's favorite things, so Diana is #nailing this whole socializing thing.]
great!! we can figure out what we want along the way
[One might think it would make more sense to plan a walk in the direction of a decided upon restaurant or cafe, but in typical Akko fashion there's very little thought put into it. In fact, she's already out the door of her apartment and on her way to Diana's as she sends that message.]
[Honestly? She's come to expect this behavior out of Akko. Her more spontaneous behavior is a sharp contrast to Diana's meticulous style. And that's fine.
She prefers it that way, especially now that they're Bonded.]
There you are.
Did you have anything you specifically wanted to eat today?
[Akko lets out a long hm, contemplating all of their potential options. The quality of food seems to vary a lot from place to place, especially depending on the price point, but she's not overly concerned with that.]
Well, it's almost lunchtime, so we should probably get something actually filling and not just junk food, right?
[That's probably the responsible decision, which Akko is semi-willing to compromise on with Diana, who is substantially less like to consider ice cream a suitable meal.]
[Hey being hungry again in an hour just means more snacks, ok. There is nothing to lose there.]
[But! Akko is pretty surprised to hear Diana suggest more or less just winging it since that is so very rarely her style. It's not an altogether terrible plan though and Akko smiles wide.]
A city this big? [Akko throws her hands up for emphasis.] There's gotta be hundreds of options!
[Diana knows the kind of foods she likes, and is pretty set in her ways for those. What she's more interested in today is the kind of food that Akko happens to enjoy.
Though Diana has noticed that her preferences are pretty... broad.
Honestly, she just thinks that Akko will eat anything "as long as it tastes good."]
[Wow, honestly... Cannot! Believe! The! Audacity! That anyone would call Akko out like this...]
[But it's true. She's really down to eat anything as long as it tastes good. Well. Maybe if she doesn't know all the ingredients in some cases. Then that can get into some mind over matter issues. But that is neither here nor there!]
Something you've never had before? [Akko blinks, clearly a little surprised by the suggestion. Not that Diana is beyond wanting to explore, she just tends to not be quite as adventurous as Akko.] Well, I guess we should start off by eliminating the places you've already tried around here! So, where do you usually go out for food?
[Diana lists out the names of a couple of restaurants and what she tends to order from them. Frankly, the names all sound obviously high-class, refined, and even a little hard to pronounce, matching her upbringing and tastes. She hasn't ever really had a reason to stray away from what she already knows.
But in bonding with Akko, she wants to make an effort to not only get to know her better, but also find enjoyment in the same things as her!]
Ah, I can also give you the names of all the places I go to for my tea.
Sure, we can start there! [Akko, the fool, grins wide and totally unaware of just how ritzy Diana's tastes would still manage to run in a place like this.] If I know what any of them are like, I can see about the places I go to and make sure they're not too alike.
[It's probably a fair question to ask for Diana. Because after about one or two of the clearly fancier ones, Akko's eyes likely started to glaze over. She can't even look judgmental about it because she's too busy trying to figure out just what the heck they have on the menu (and trying not to break out into a cold sweat over the price). Akko shakes her head a little to dismiss the question.]
Don't you ever just get a burger and some fries back home?
[Akko isn't really surprised by the answer. Diana's privileged, sure, but she's also the sort of person who follows the rules to perfection. So, if she was never really given express permission to do something like that, it'd never cross her mind in a million years. Why get a burger when she can be stuffed into an uncomfortable dress and made to do polite conversation with important adults all while nibbling on arguably delicious but ultimately unfulfilling food.]
[Akko grabs Diana's hand and picks up the pace of their walk.]
Then I know the perfect place we can go! C'mon!
[Because Diana really has a choice with Akko tugging on her like this.]

Why don't we walk around and see what's available? There must be something that would catch our attention.

They sound every bit as "rizty" and high-class as Akko would expect out of her.]
Did you need me to repeat any of them?
