Yul was studying the menu, but it didn't really hold his attention, since he already knew what he wanted. Besides, there was something else going on.

He stepped a little closer, inserting himself into the conversation. "What about trying the Neutrino Wave?" He suggested, smiling casually. "It's similar, but the milk it uses isn't as naturally sweet. It's kinda like a Nebula with less sugar."

"Oh um of course we have bubble tea, just I don't believe i've seen this exact chain before." he said his tone thoughtful "hmm I wouldn't say milk is a staple of my diet but I have had different animal milks before. When settling colonies you make as much use of everything as you can."

"This whole thing is about new experiences." He ordered a lychee milk bubble tea "I would like to try some cheese cake but I don't do sweets much would you like to split a slice?" he asked looking to her

"Yeah..." Eriko said with a good bit of skepticism as she eyed the Unicorn in the shop. "No. Nice try, pal. Let's not do that, as I'm trying to keep off the milk business. Ah-ah, not my thing."

She said as she waved off to the general direction of the non-milk section of their menu, certainly not a milk convert as some samurai here might have taken to ever since a Tian opened up in their area. "Not a lot of options otherwise, I guess better a sugar crash than the other sort of crash I could find here."

She clucked her tongue in annoyance as she brushed her hair behind her. "Whatever, ain't got all day to hangle, just Nebula me. The non-daily special one, you hear?"

"Of course, that is acceptable." For herself she ordered lemon-flavored milk bubble tea.

Seeing Yul there, but seemingly on similar business as herself, she offered a nod in his direction when their eyes met.

"What are places like these like on Spider worlds? Tea-chains and cake shops, I mean..."

"Hey, I'm not trying anything." Yul grinned, raising his hands. "You think I own milk stocks or something? Get a zeni every time they sell a drink with milk in it?" He shook his head. "I'm a pilot, Kuni-san, not a salesman."

He crossed his arms over his chest, his leather jacket rustling. "I gotta ask, though, have you ever tried milk? I hear some folks can't handle it, but I've had Crab sake. If you can handle that, you can handle milk."

A small twitch of the eye as he mentioned today's challenge... that stupid bird...

If she didn't get that one served deep-fried with heaps of peri-peri sauce before her stay her was over, she'd be greatly disappointed.

"I am certain Kuchiki-san's talents will have a chance to shine later during the stay here. I thought my experience with the blessed herd my Family still maintains on Rakuen would be of help for me today, but I was mistaken." A sore spot. "But you are a shugenja, and a doctor. Skills that are prized by all clans. My abilities as a pilot might be less valued by some clans."

Eriko shot a gaze to look Yul up and down as thought she was sizing him up. "I don't know, maybe you do or maybe you don't. Kind of hard to get much when I don't know much about you. I can't say I've met a pilot who made their flying in milk to every corner of the galaxy yet but you might be the first. The galaxy is big enough for anything."

She backed away from the counter as the workers at the bubble tea house began to make her drink. Judging from the picture on the menu, it do look like something that was worthy of the Nebula name. "I'm Kuni Eriko and I'm sure I could take a lot but my stomach might be where I draw the line, especially when I'm abroad with a purpose."
