The first class Milan's decided to audit is a half-hour before Odette's first class, but she can get up early and show him the way, if he wants.

Total: 127

"Yes! Food!"

powerispain

"Food! Nowhere in particular is striking me like the sandwich place did yesterday, any thoughts?"

first-and-final

Shrug. "Somewhere new?"

powerispain

"Well, yeah, I meant more in terms of categories to narrow it down. Pasta sound okay? I think I might be feeling vaguely pasta-ish if you don't have a stronger opinion."

first-and-final

"Sure!"

powerispain

"And I'm not just saying that because the pasta place I have in mind is a decently long flight from the school."

first-and-final

He laughs.

powerispain

She grins. "At this rate you'll never learn your way around the city at street level," she teases.

first-and-final

"I'll just have to learn to fly as soon as possible, then, won't I."

powerispain

"That would be the logical conclusion, yes!"

first-and-final

Grin.

powerispain

Grin. Flying to the pasta place. There are so many kinds of pasta!

first-and-final

Food!!

powerispain

Delicious starchy sauce-covered food, with probably a wider array of sauces than Milan is used to finding available for pasta.

first-and-final

Yes rather.

"You know what I sort of have to wonder if you'd find interesting? Local religion," Odette mentions after they've sat down with their food.

first-and-final

"...Don't you not have gods?"

powerispain

"No one can prove we do! They certainly don't overtly intervene in anything, if they do. And yet, we have local religion."

first-and-final

"That seems, uh, bizarre."

powerispain

"I vaguely recall something a philosopher said once, to the effect of 'If God didn't exist, people would make one up'."

first-and-final

"From my perspective that just seems like a terrible idea!"

powerispain

"Well, it's not like making up a deity gives them the ability to smite people."

first-and-final

"Yes, but I would not have wanted to be the one to test that theory!"

powerispain

"To be fair, I do not think Abraham or Akenaten or Siddartha Guatama or whoever had ever heard of the failure modes."
