Is this what I think it is?

[Oh, well. Yes. It's actually some salami, a entire box of it, she received it from the Christmas ship. It's even labelled]

I don't know a lot about this whole Christmas day celebration, aside from what I've heard here, but, um....thanks?  I think.

[Should anyone come across her, she'll be lugging around that box to her room.  Why she is even keeping it is a mystery to her]

Comments

[ex_automobiles598]

We can do that.

[Asami picks another one up from the box and picks up her eaten one on the floor, tucking it under her arm so she can toss it away later]

So you've had it before?

[booyaka_boom]

Uh huh! You're only supposed to have little slices at a time.

C'mon, let's go to the galley and I'll show ya how you're supposed to eat it!

*And she'll just smile and turn on her heel, leading the way*

Oh, and I'm Selphie, by the way!

*She calls this over her shoulder with a wave*

[ex_automobiles598]

I'm Asami Sato. It's great to meet you, Selphie.

[She follows after Selphie with a small wave, though she's not sure if the other girl actually sees her do that]

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie catches it briefly and smiles. When they reach the galley, she goes straight for the bread, and takes out some mayonnaise and slices of cheese*

Okay. So all of this together should be pretty nice. Not too much cheese, though, cause you should really get a taste of the salami.

*And she'll busily get a plate and a knife too, and sets it all out on the table before taking a seat*

[ex_automobiles598]

[Meanwhile, Asami discards the bitten salami into the trash and lays the other one on the counter, sliding it more to Selphie. She rests her arms on the surface afterwards]

It sounds like you really know what you're doing. Are you sure you wouldn't want to take some of it?

[She asks that with a small laugh, it was probably more of a joke than anything]

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie works her magic and pretty soon there's a rather lovely looking salami sandwich in front of her. She pushes the plate over to Asami*

I sure do! This is like, the only thing I can make in the kitchen without hurting anyone.

*She giggles a little at that, then grabs a glass of water for Asami just in case she doesn't like*

See what you think before you start giving it away - you might love it!

[ex_automobiles598]

Even if I did, I'm not sure I'd want the smell in my room. It'd be better to keep it in here where everyone can use it, I think.

[She pulls the plate closer to her and takes the sandwich into her hands]

I've never tried this before. Do they just use salami?

[And she finally takes a bite]

[booyaka_boom]

Oh, yeah. That's a good point. I mean, I'm sure the guys round here wouldn't mind if you always smelled of salami... But that's a bit weird.

*Selphie tilts her head as she continues to wait for a reaction*

Huh? Do what just use salami?

*She'll just lean a little closer to make sure that this all goes okay*

[ex_automobiles598]

Yeah, it would be. [She, again, lets out a small chuckle. Though she won't deny that most guys do really like meat, but still...] It doesn't sound like a very good combo.

For the sandwich? [They don't exist in Republic City, okay. Or anywhere else.

As for the salami sandwich, she hasn't tossed it up or anything. So that's going well so far]

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie just laughs along with her - she knows that's true herself, but the idea of anyone sniffing around her like a piece of salami is a bit weird* Not really!

You can put whatever you want on a sandwich! I mean, there's some stuff that probably isn't a good idea. Don't you have them in your world?

*No, she seems to be doing pretty well with it so far, so Selphie goes about making herself a replica of the sandwich and takes a bite*

Pretty good salami!

[ex_automobiles598]

[She doesn't need anymore weird things like that, thank you very much]

I haven't seen anything like it yet, but it sounds like a good idea. I bet Bolin would really enjoy it.

[So long as it's not dumpster meat, everything should be all right]

It's not bad at all. [She pauses, there was something else she's been meaning to ask] Have you been here for a while too?

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie pauses in her happy eating of her own sandwich*

Hmm? Who's Bolin?

*She grins across the table at Asami, taking a drink of water before finishing off one half of her snack*

Great! Glad you like it! *Selphie nods her head slowly* Mmhmm, a couple of months. Or a few, I think.

[ex_automobiles598]

He's just a friend from Republic City.

[Asami takes a sip of her water. She's just taking her time with her sandwich and is only about half way done. As for Selphie's answer, that was a long time to be away...]

Do you miss home?

[booyaka_boom]

Oh, right, 'just a friend'... Okay, I gotcha.

*She gives her a bright wink, and picks up the second half of her sandwich. As for that question, Selphie lowers her eyes slightly, nodding slowly*

Yeah. A lot. But everyone round here has been so good and so welcoming. I can't really complain...

[ex_automobiles598]

Hey, I'm telling the truth.

[Asami slowly puts her hands out in front of her. She was involved with his brother at one point anyway. WAS. But that was a whole other story and kind of a mess at the moment. She nods back at her]

That makes it a lot more easier to deal with. I haven't met anyone really bad here yet. [No wait...] Except for the Marines maybe.

[booyaka_boom]

Okay, if you say so!

*Selphie just smiles - she doesn't know this girl enough to tease her any more about it, anyway*

Mmhmm. I think you picked the right crew! But if any of the guys do start bothering ya, just let me know and I'll go get them told!

*Because Asami's beautifulness hasn't escaped Selphie's notice. At the mention of the marines, she pulls a face and makes a noise of disgust*

Yeah, well, to them I say - up yours!

[ex_automobiles598]

You don't have to worry. I'll be able to handle it if I have to.

[Even so. That was sweet of her]

But hey, I got your back if you start having the same trouble, okay?

[Like really. She'll tell them off as much as she has to]

Just make sure they don't catch you saying that, Selphie. [Lame joke ahoy]

[booyaka_boom]

Alright!

*Selphie grins and nods - she's quite satisfied that this woman is capable of looking after herself. She laughs herself when Asami offers the same*

Oh, I don't think you'll need to worry about that!

*Taking another drink of water, she just raises a brow and smiles*

Nah - they can't catch me!

[ex_automobiles598]

[Selphie seems pretty confident on handling herself (Plus, people always assumed the same with her as well), so Asami doesn't comment any further on it]

I'll take your word for it. [Speaking of which] I'm assuming after what happened on the island they'll be chasing us more than half the time, huh?

[booyaka_boom]

*Uh huh, she sure is! Her smiles fades a little and she gives a small nod*

Yeah. I guess so. That wasn't the smartest move ever...

*But she had been part of that too, and had just wanted to get her revenge. Or something*

But it's nothing we can't handle!

[ex_automobiles598]

[Yeah. She doesn't really like the whole 'attacking random people based on speculation' thing. Especially since a lot of those people turned out to be, you know, not bad at all]

I'm sure they only managed to angered everyone.

[That might have been an understatement, she thinks]

How many times have you guys fought them before?

[booyaka_boom]

Hmm...

*Selphie seems rather thoughtful in her short reply. There were just so many thoughts and feelings mixed up in the dealings with the Navy...*

I think, a couple, only? It's... not been pleasant though. It'd be nice if they can leave us alone for a while, though.

[ex_automobiles598]

I'm guessing that'd be hard. I'd imagine we would be like a sitting turtleduck out there in the water.

[Asami herself doesn't know what to think of them yet, but so far her impression isn't good]

[booyaka_boom]

Mm. And no one wants to be a sitting turtleduck. There's much better things to be for a start!

*Stupid Navy, but she smiles and leans across the table*

So whatcha think of the salami?
