[he very much wishes....it wasn't. a kid this young shouldn't have to do this! but alas]

You hungry?

[lionwhisperer]

[He had been doing it for a very long time unfortunately. It was nothing unusual for him]

Yeah, I am. If you don't mind, we can stop somewhere.

[backendbat]

Don't mind at all. We're both growing boys. [he's actually happy to hear the kid's got an appetite] You tried Bataburger yet?

[lionwhisperer]

Indeed we are. [He did. Having grown up in an environment where food wasn't always readily available, he didn't complain about offers of it] I have not.

[backendbat]

[he knows the look-- has seen it in plenty of child soldiers.

and unfortunately (??) for Trowa, he's about to get the best of Bataburger. he speeds up, if anything]

You're in for a real treat.

[lionwhisperer]

[There did seem to be a strange need for child soldiers...

Trowa had never tried it so he was willing to give it a try]

I'm curious to try it, since you are recommending it.

[backendbat]

Well it's better than McDonalds...but not sure if it's better than Jack in the Box.

[that's really telling
to anyone who knows what that means]

[lionwhisperer]

Impressive. Definitely worth trying.

[Trowa had tried both at some point]

[backendbat]

[it doesn't take them long to peel out into the city, finally, all that fresh city air pollution and other cars honking and swerving]

Glad to hear the approval in your voice.

[lionwhisperer]

[There was certainly an odd dichotomy about being in the city. There were a lot more people to recognize you, but it was also easier to get lost in a crowd. Trowa appreciated the last part]

I don't know that I have had a burger in a while.

[backendbat]

[who wouldn't recognize two circus boys like these]

You like regular ones? Or have you tried turkey burgers? We can try that next time.

[lionwhisperer]

[Yeah, they were pretty obvious if only because they clearly had qualities that made people pay attention to them]

I do. I have tried those as well. Seasoned right, they are not bad.

[backendbat]

[the really tall pants? the flips?

bataburger-- ah yes, there's the familiar wings]

Good to hear you've had some experience there.

[lionwhisperer]

[Yeah, those tended to do it.

Trowa leaned over to look at the building as they approached]

I take it this a favorite of yours. Anything you'd recommend?

[backendbat]

Well, it's more convenient. And the fries are good. I'd just get a burger combo-- get the rootbeer too, it's pretty good.

[at least the drive through line isn't long]

[lionwhisperer]

Convenient does help. Sounds like a good option. I think I will do that.

[That was good at least. They wouldn't be waiting too long]

[backendbat]

Good deal, man. Anything else that sounds good, you just say so, we'll try it.

[imagine that, a superhero encouraging junk food]

[lionwhisperer]

Sounds good. So far, sounds like what you recommended will be good.

[Once in a while, junk food is fine. Trowa doesn't eat it every day so it's not so bad]

[backendbat]

We can only hope.

[they move up in line, one more to go]

[lionwhisperer]

Yes, that is true. Since actually experience may vary.

[Not saying it would be bad, just that they might be having an off night for example]

[backendbat]

[long as they don't both have to go to the bathroom....

and now it's their turn, thankfully]

[lionwhisperer]

[Oh look it was their turn. Trowa would tell Dick what he wanted in a low voice so as not to have too many people speaking all at once]

[backendbat]

[he orders cheerfully, and they roll up to the next window, money exchanged, ect!!]

[lionwhisperer]

[Trowa sat passenger seat, quietly watching. When the food was handed out in exchange for money, Trowa held out a hand to help take the drinks and bag of food so that he could put them in the drink holders or hold the bag so Dick could drive]

[backendbat]

[he hands the goods over happily, humming as they drive away. the smell is delicious, and totally fattening, just with one whiff that might be a couple of pounds added. not that he cares!]

Feel free to try a couple fries while we go.
