Kogeki shrugs. "Broke up with my ex last night. Was, weird and now im mad and not sure at who. I know it sounds dumb but...you know I really thought it could work."

"Doesn't sound all that weird to me" she shrugs "It hurts, losing something. And you deserve your time to mourn. Something died, not a physical thing, but your thoughts and hopes for the future. You are allowed your time to sort those things out"
She nods "The little teacher once said that life is suffering, and accepting that was the first step to understanding the universe. I will admit, I know little else about the Tao, but that lesson stuck with me. Life is suffering, and pain is how we know we are still alive. So pain, after a fashion, is the most beautiful thing there is"

Kogeki shrugs. "Oh I, I guess you are right. I am in mourning. Thats why I feel mad. Seems weird without the person gone but I guess a version of her is gone.' he says before he blinks. "You uh, have a way with words. Did you study as an Artisan too?"

"No" she admits "I am a duelist first and foremost, but I have immersed so much of myself into poetry... Besides, even the duelists of us are artists with a blade, so why not study the others?"
She bows softly as they draw nearer to the front of the line "Tell me about this girl, the version that is gone and the one that remains. If it will help"

"Ah, yeah no. I'm a cook. Food is my art. It's how I express myself." he says with a nod. "She and I met at a party. she was beautiful, hardcore, smart and nice. And she cared about me, she really cared about me. Then this other guy shows up...powerful rich guy. And I guess he aint an asshole but he likes her too. And she starts to like him. So she agrees to date him, while she and I are dating. And she finds out about this and tries to call it off with this guy but...look he likes her. She likes him. He has everything she needs. I wouldn't let her. And now im mad at myself for doing it, mad at him for being born better then me and...just mad."

"I would not dare call you in-eloquent, especially not when you have shown me your emotion so clearly, but perhaps you are mad because you cannot decide what else to be? Perhaps it is not anger, but a close cousin you cannot name?"
Closer still, they will be at the front of the line soon
"Perhaps, the sins all in accord, Fear that you have failed her, Regret for what is lost, and Desire for what might have been"

Kogeki nods. "It might be that...anger is the one I know how to deal with. I punch things, I yell, I cook and work and anger goes away. Might be one of the other ones just don't know what. I just....I just want to be the sort of person who could have kept her but I know I would want to punch that guy in the face."

They get to the counter
"I’ll have two number nines, a number nine large, a number six with extra dip, a number seven, two number forty-fives, one with cheese, and a large soda. What are you having?"

"Uh... number 1 please.... small. Thats it." he says looking through his wallet and counting coins to see if he could make it.

"Give him an number one large, extra dip and a large soda" she protests and puts her card on the table "A number one small is not gonna kill any sort of pain. You can refuse twice if you like, but I want to hear the rest of your story, and I can't do that whilst you nibble away at nothing"
She is not stern, if anything, a little flirtatious still
