Hearing Zage's words, Mari takes out two pieces of paper with a cute smile on her face.

"I could teach you."

She then begins to fold a crane slowly step by step to let the kid copy her action, helping out if he gets stuck.

Smiling, she answers

"Oh... Ah, I see. This location here has many things that are different indeed. A lot of the people can be friendly."

Cue a wide smile, like those used by cute Japanese girls.

Tan once down on the ground and has the ability to dismount does so, sliding down with the Tan of the wheels on his heellys against the concrete bellow as he stretches out a little, bouncing a little in place before nodding to Nolles and following inside, giggling to himself. Now he was down on the ground and Nolles could see his face properly Tan seemed very happy right now, a very bright childish grin, a warm affectionate one as well.

Entering into the restaurant he watches as Nolles is about to enter the kitchen and he just shrugs with a unsure expression.

Hesim eagerly copies Mari's method of making the crane, excitement creeping over his formerly cold face. And at the end, he's holding a freshly folded paper crane.

"One down...ummm...I don't know how much a thousand is."

The kid can't count to a thousand. Probably never got taught.

"Yes...but some can also be very hostile, like I just saw. I only hope they're the exception and not the norm."

Zage shifts uncomfortably, remembering what happened only moments ago.

Mari hesitates a bit.

(Oh dear... he does not know how to...)

She does a cute Hand Behind Head gesture as she nods.

"Ah. Don't worry! Once you reach 1000, something will happen!"

Finally, Mari turns to the lady, still brushing the back of her hair.

"I believe that being is usually an exception. Most of the people here are nice. Unless it's a monkey tail person who is too eager to fight."

   How about some soup and roasted chicken, then?   

If Tan accepts, Nolles will head towards the kitchen and then quickly prepare the food. Several minutes would pass, of course, but, soon enough, a smiling Nolles would pop out into view, carrying a medium-sized pot full of steaming hot ham and potato soup. Then, he heads back to the kitchen, and then also returns with a large tray for a simple oven-roasted chicken. It might also be noted that he isn't wearing any oven mitts.

   Well, h-here they are!   

He looks sheepish.

   I hope they're good enough... ahehehe...

"I hope so. A thousand sounds like a lot..."

Hesim puts the paper cranes away in a pouch, before stretching and yawning. He lies back on the ground, hands behind his head like a pillow, and just looks at the sky.

"I know what my wish will be..."

Zage breathes aanother sigh if relief, putting a hand over her chest, a small smile and even smaller laugh escaping her.

"Phew, that's the first good news I've had the whole day. We still need to find a camp site for the rest of the 25th Regiment though, and we're still down 2 ers for the moment."

Tan indeed accepts and allows Nolles to go into the kitchen, the sound of him trying to use his Heely's and practice on the restaurants floor is heard, as well as the sound of him falling over, quickly followed by him just getting back up and trying again.

By the time the soup and chicken are done though he'd have finished and would be sitting at a table with a seat that faces the window, resting his head on his crossed arms which in tern were leaning on the table, facing towards the kitchen door. His legs swinging back and fourth happily but idly as he was slouched over not touching the floor as always.

At seeing Nolles come back he sits up straight and watches the food get brought over. He doesn't notice the oven mitts part, he's not used enough to cooking to think about it. A bright cheerful smile on his face as Nolles puts down the large tray and soup patiently waiting but nodding brightly and supportively to Nolles.

"Oh, what wish?"

Mari continues, as her face brightens up, gesturing to the hotel.

"A camp site? There's a hotel here where you can stay at. It is like a large inn."

She then gestures. "There is also a forest that way. It's a distance from the city. I suggest you take the train."

As soon as Mari points to the forest area near the sea, a submarine appears on the water, as it proceeds to fire cruise missiles into the air... that leave a pretty huge smoke trail to signal the location.

Nolles smiles brightly and sheepishly, before heading to a cupboard to prepare the utensils, taking bowls, forks, spoons, knives, among others, and he then heads back to the table and places one set for each of them.

Smiling hopefully, he then prepares the food, giving a good amount of warm soup and roasted chicken to Tan, while taking some for himself.

   ...   

He then patiently waits for Tan to try eating the food. If Tan indeed tries them, he'll find that they're actually delicious. It seems that he's pretty experienced with cooking.

Tan patiently waits as things are prepared, a excitedly look on his face as he takes in a deep breath and smells the food. His legs swinging more excitedly kicking lightly the air under the table. Once the food was put infront of him and he see's Nolles has food infront of him he nods cheerfully and decides to try a bit of chicken first.

...

A suddenly gleeful noise from Tan and a huge grin on his face as he starts to eat, well more devour the food with all the might and surprising amount of stomach space an eight year old can pull off.

"I'm going to wish...that my dad wouldn't have to worry about money and everything anymore. That he can be happy again. Maybe I'll wish that mom would come back..."

Ah...he's one of those types...poor, and raised by a single parent.

"That's the only reason I'm in the 25th Regiment. I...I want to help my dad."

Zage gives a small bow to Mari in thanks.

"Much appreciated, many thanks."

Zage once again looks at her young comrade, her face softening.

Nolles smiles brightly when he sees Tan getting visibly excited, and, soon enough, begins eating himself, starting with the soup.

   I'm glad that you like it!

Tan nods multiple times quickly to the statement, then see's Nolles go to the soup and immediately himself swaps to try that as well, a similar reaction. As he giggles and eats, slurping a little bit. Tan was gonna end up with a bit of a mess over his face after all of this but that was fine.

The boy seemed very happy and cheerful right now as they ate, constantly smiling and giggling towards Nolles, occasionally making funny faces at him. His true excitement always noticeable by the fact he wasn't really sitting still, his legs swinging under the table.

Mari can understand what Hesim's talking about. While Mari came from a rich family... she could understand how poverty could solve problems. And thanks to being raised on a culture that had filial piety as a value, she could understand his motives well too.

"It is great that you are filial to your parents. I really hope your wish will come true, and you earn a lot of money to support your dad."

Hearing the lady thank her, Mari responds politely. "いえいえ-I mean, you're welcome!"

She does a cute smile, maybe slightly blushing thanks to accidentally letting out her Japanese again.

Nolles just chuckles, as he quickly moves to get a tissue box while eating the chicken, looking at Tan with complete amusement.

   Y-you're going to make a mess if you keep doing that!

Tan giggles a little bit, holding out a hand for some tissues and wiping his face off a bit if given them, before going back to eating he seemed to be enjoying it at least and for his small young body, he was packing in a lot of soup and chicken; good thing Nolles gave him a large portion.

Likely with the speed he was eating finishing first and afterwards taking more tissues and wiping all over his face and hands till he was clean of soup and chicken before sticking out his tongue. Drawing his whiteboard from behind him and writing on it one thing. "10/10"

"I don't like seeing my dad so unhappy and scared when the people come by asking for his money. And I still miss when mom was around."

Hesim sighs.

"She was in the 17th Regiment. I'm not going to let her memory down..."

Zage raises her eyebrow when Mari speaks in Japanese, confused at the strange language.

"That's a strange language...it's not Elven, I know that much."

Nolles visibly blinks when he sees that Tan has finished eating before him, and he soon manages to finish his portion, only to gawk a little at the boy.

   And here I was, t-thinking that I had given you too much food!

Mari's expression turns to one of sympathy as she goes to pat Hesim.

"Oh dear... I'm sorry... I know that you will be able to do them proud."

Being inquired about her language, Mari goes into a little embarrassed smile.

"Ah. That was Japanese. It is a language from my home country."

Tan giggles and shakes his head, sticking his tongue at Nolles, licking his lips a little and smiling moving around with a bounce to the other side of the table and sitting besides Nolles in a hug of thanks.

Turns out the even for a eight-year old, this especially hyper-energetic kid who literally does not seem like he can sit still can eat a lot, a really big appetite.

Nolles is hugged, and he just chuckles happily in return, cuddling the boy back and ruffling his hair at the same time. He's now completely forgotten about the ordeal of his different form, just gladly being affectionate with the brunet.

Tan cuddles more into Nolles, nuzzling his chest with his head and giggling as his hair is ruffled. He was grinning widely and childishly playful, clearly loving the affection he's receiving as well. As always not minding having his hair played with.

As the comment of cute he giggles and just nods rapidly to Nolles with a intense smile, then a funny face.
