Frey shook his head, his smile broadening a little, reaching his eyes with a pleased--and slightly amused--little sparkle. "No, I don't mind. It's you I worry about with that sort of thing." He gestured to his bad arm with his good hand, adding, "You didn't hit this side, if that's your concern."

Takaya was embarrassed by his reactions and Kagetora was more annoyed than angry. "How's your arm?"

Focus on something else, he told himself. Don't think about the whole touch thing. It's over and done with.

"Aching a little bit, but it's not so bad." Really, it hurt quite a lot. Frey really wished he could heal himself with the Dawn Rune, like he could at home. Or even a water-rune-user would be greatly appreciated. Instead, he had to make do with the Institute's slower healing magics, and their pain-reducing pills. Which seemed to be wearing off. But there was no point worrying Takaya, so instead Frey turned his attention to the server who appeared to offer them menus. "Thank you, miss."

Takaya knew that had to be a lie, but if Frey didn't want to say, he wouldn't say and Takaya wasn't about to pry. He looked at the server until she finally sighed and set the menu down on the table and only then did he turn his attention to it.

Western food. Something that was nearly exotic back home was everywhere here. If he never saw another burger place again in his life, it would be too soon. A sandwich would do... maybe...

The salads looked appealing to Frey, at least from the descriptions provided, but what he would have for the main bulk of his meal he frankly had no idea. Some of these things were so completely foreign to him. He knew 'spaghetti' from the Institute, and 'burgers' and the like, but he didn't really want any of those things again. Maybe Takaya would know. "What looks good, Takaya?"
