"But if we do, I'm not going to hold back." Tetsu offers a gentle smile. "You're brilliant enough that you don't need me being patronizing. But if you zone out playing, kami help me, I will take it"

She laughed at that. "Pfft, you wish. I don't space out when I'm actually doing something. Anyway, I wouldn't want you to go easy on me. Give it your all!"

"Even if I'm better than you~" Tetsu offers his wickedest grin, leaning back in to tease her. "I have to even the score, after all"

"Better than me," she scoffed, grinning. "A statistical anomaly won't mean you're better. We'll have to play for a while to figure that out."

"Well, for that, we'd have to meet up to play quite often. You know, get a proper sample size for statistical analysis." Tetsu looks a bit forlorn for a minute. "I hope we get the chance"

She sighed and nodded in agreement. "Me, too."

Tetsu places his hand over here gently. "We'll cross that bridge as we get to it... now, where was this food I heard so much about?"

They're soon served a sumptuous meal featuring a variety of preparations in balance.
