"Yeah."  Yawn.  "I think I also only want - the most saltine cracker of entertainment right now.  In general."  Good to cover for when he inevitably reacts poorly to something else.

"Is the instrumental music good for that?"

"Yeah, pretty good."

"Okay. Anyway, I think probably we should not do kissing things, it doesn't seem like you need them to survive the week or anything and if you're still into the idea next week nothing's stopping us then."

"...I might have further thoughts but I'm going to save them for when I'm more awake.  If ever."

"Valid."

Well, more cuddles, then.  As if they haven't already done shirtless ones and as if those are somehow substantively different from kissing.

"Do you want the remaining KD? I can stick it in the microwave for you."

"...Yes please."  And he unsnuggles, after a beat.

Haru gets up, plates and nukes the noodles, and brings them back and offers them and a fork.

Julien doesn't feel that hungry until three bites in and then he's kind of ravenous, again.  Om nom nom nom.

"You want anything to supplement that? We've got, like. Apples? OJ?"

Apples have texture and are associated with evil and he could choke on one or turn into a villain about it, but if he has orange juice then that's two orange things and maybe he'll turn into an oompa loompa about it??  Or a tiger or something.  Probably not a tiger, from this.  That would be weird.  "I could go for some orange juice!"

"Sure. We can also get groceries, I don't know what you normally eat." Glass of orange juice is fetched. It is no-pulp.

Ugh, here comes the choice of whether he should say he's vegetarian or should definitely not do that.  He should assume that he's definitely going to be presented with meat, at some point, and if he doesn't say it'll probably happen sooner and it'll break the conceit here, and if he does then it'll probably be surreptitious and maybe worse.  Technically he's been presented with a lot of meat already, in human bodies, for if he turns into a beast.  And there's also a potential plot beat where if he gets turned into a pigeon or whatever, where he gets mocked for already having been some sort of inherent prey animal, for the ethical choice he's made.

...Oh, but there's something that sidesteps all that, at least sort of, "- I don't want to eat meat this week."

"Understandable. Does fish count? Eggs and dairy okay?"

"Yes; yes.  Normally I eat a lot of frozen and canned stuff but that's just for convenience."  ...Are they going to send him a mutilated baby chick corpse when he tries to have an egg.  Welp, too late now.

"We've got lots of convenience food, it's so convenient you see. I think the chicken flavor instant ramen is fake, and the soy sauce flavor is almost definitely vegan..."

"Yeah, they are."  Wait.  Should he say he knows because of a friend?  No, that's too obvious a lie, if anyone's checking his social media history, or if his friends or family come into play, or - lots of things.  "If it's the same brand.  That I use."

"What brand is that?"

"......I don't... know.  I recognize it by the packaging and I don't actually know the name."  This is potentially ridicule fodder but what is he supposed to do instead, make one up?

"Oh, I do that too. I can check what it was in my last grocery order without getting up though." He does this. Shows Julien a picture.

"Yeah, that's it."

"Ingredients suggest the chicken is fictional."

"Yeah.  Thanks for double checking."
