[ most people aren't willing to risk their life in order to be so chummy or initiate skinship with the upstart riddle, so while he's not used the general warmth that comes with having someone's arm around his while promenading, he can't say he minds it in the slightest, and even holds onto rinne after awhile.
at first riddle is skeptical, having indeed expected an upscale, modern location that screams luxe-- rinne's into that sort of flashy thing, right? but no, as he ascends the tight steps leading into the restaurant, he finds himself greeted by rustic warmth. the sheltered little alice has never been to a place like this, so of course he marvels at it as they walk in and proceed to be seated. ]
Amazing...! How quaint. I have never been to a restaurant in this style before. It looks like the sort one would find in a movie. How did you find this place, Rinne-san?
Right? I used to help out here. It was about when I got my driver's license. I wasn't getting any gigs, so I did some errands for this joint between auditions.
[It's a totally different side of him compared to his stage persona, and he tells it somewhat meekly, too. He's not wealthy the way Riddle is. But Riddle's reaction to the humble restaurant softens the look in Rinne's eyes, and maybe there are things only guys like him can afford. He sits opposite Riddle in a quiet corner and pushes the menu at him.]
Take a seat, take a seat. I'm gettin' a Margherita pizza. You? What's your favorite?
[ it is a different side to him, one riddle wishes he was more familiar with. while he's certain rinne's confidence and bravado come from a real place within him (he's certainly earned the right to be so flashy and bold), this sincerity is, dare he say, charming? there's something beautifully human about it that reminds riddle of why he himself was so desperate to leave home in the first place. ]
One would never guess from looking at you, but you truly worked hard. I'm sure it wasn't easy for you in those days, but your efforts are praiseworthy, and I hope have been rewarded. Well done, Rinne-san.
[ riddle offers a sincere smile, committing that gentle gaze to his memory before looking down at the menu with wide eyes. ]
There are so many... Believe it or not, as far as pizza goes, I have only ever had one slice of pepperoni to try, and that's it. I don't know the first thing about what I would like. Give me a recommendation, and I will try it.
