[throughbamboo]

[he nods a bit, considering.

The corner of his mouth lifts]

I'll get us slightly less shitty ramen next time.

[doggonemad]

We can afford it. Make new traditions or somethin'.

[throughbamboo]

Ain't 'bout affordin' it.

But that'd be nice. We could use a couple'a new ones.

[doggonemad]

[throughbamboo]

Wow, it ain't that bad.

[doggonemad]

[throughbamboo]

[he grins at that]

[doggonemad]

[ sets his ramen down. he's eaten most of it, thankfully. ]

[throughbamboo]
