[He looks over the buffet options, going quiet for a moment.]
I spent a lot of years out of Japan, and there really wasn’t anywhere to get Japanese food over there… So being back it’s just… familiar, and I finally get to eat it again.
[…]
Well. A lot for how long I’ve been alive, at least. I don’t know what a long time for a demon would be.
[He can't help but think of the taste of the orchards, or the naps in the trees and running from the stern voice under the light of the sun.
Food as a reminder...]
Yeah. I get that.
[He'll follow Haruka's line of sight to wander towards the Eastern options. His eyes drift immediately towards okonomiyaki fresh from the griddle, but he shows a surprising amount of restraint for once.]
Millennium. But don't think about it too much. We don't work the same way as a human.
[A thousand years? That's impossible for Haruka to wrap his head around, especially when looking at Beel, he doesn't seem that old at all. He'd buy him being the same age as Torao or Touma, even, but...
He's not human. Haruka will probably never really be able to get where he's coming from.]
Alright... Nothing here looks all that bad, though.
[Still, he's going to look over all the options they have, pausing for a moment before holding two options out to Beel. In one hand he has dango, and in the other a strawberries and cream sandwich.]
Do you want to try something more traditional, or something more modern?

Could you show me what tastes good to you?

1/2
Could I try both?
2/2
Ah, sorry. I can narrow it down.
[It's so hard, though, and he has to bite his lip as his eyes flick between the two.
...]
I recognize the stick. Bog dango's actually made it down to the Devildom, too, but I've never had the human world type.
So... could I try the other one first?
no subject
[That sounds worse then Acchan's miso mochi...
But he hands over the sandwich, even if it is with a raised eyebrow.]
You can have them both, if you really want. It's not like there's not plenty of food at the buffet.
[By human standards, at least.]
no subject
'sh ok. Y' gudda e't s'methin', trrh.
[A swallow, wiping at his mouth with his fingers to lick off the runaway cream.]
Yeah. I think they use poison peat in the dough, and put a sweet bog bean glaze over top sometimes.
1/2
[That's definitely worse then Acchan's mochi...!!]
2/2
He's just going to take of the non-poison, non-bog dango, shaking his head.]
Well, whatever. So long as you like it, I guess.

[...]
Oh. I wouldn't expect you to eat it or anything. Don't worry.
I know our food can be dangerous to humans sometimes.
no subject
[Are all demons like this or is it just Beel…]
Wouldn’t poison still poison demons, too?
no subject
But if a cook knows what they're doing, it's great. Human food isn't much different.
[He does pause for a second to think.]
...Huh. Maybe there is something like that, somewhere out there. Never really thought about it, though.
no subject
[Though. Hm. That does leave a question that Haruka definitely shouldn’t be asking, but he’s going to anyways.]
Can you even kill demons?
no subject
[He thinks Haruka must just be picky. Poor guy.
...]
Yeah, you can. We're not immortal.
no subject
[...]
I guess I really don't know much about demons.
no subject
Most people don't. Don't feel bad.
[He finished off the sandwich with a pleased little chuckle.]
It was like a parfait in a sandwich. Do you eat these all the time?
no subject
[He wants to learn!!]
Not all the time! But they're really good, right? Sometimes I'll get them as a treat when I'm done with practice for the day.
no subject
[help this is weirdly earnest all of the sudden]
I'm not a very good teacher, but... I can try.
Why do you want to know, though? You're probably never going to see one while you're alive.
no subject
[Huffs... Wow, if Beel really doesn't want to teach him anything, he could have just said so...!!]
1/2
/2
[Ah. He gets it.]
Okay.
Eat something good first, though. I won't tell you anything until then.
no subject
Hmph.
He turns back to the buffet, raising his chin and not doing a good job of looking aloof.]
Okay, okay. I'll have some stupid breakfast.
