[The guy who opens the door is a tall, scuffy-looking man with dark hair, teetering on the verge of half-awake. Or is he just so, so hungry that he's reaching the point of delirium? It's hard to say. (it isn't that)
He scratches at his chin.]
I talked it down when I told it there was a guy speeding here to keep us fed. With un-soggy noodles. Don't make me into a liar.
( cloud takes a step back when the door opens. the slums are sure full of all sorts of people, but this guy doesn't give him dangerous vibes. plus, he's hungry.
he puts his arm out, plastic bag with the noodle soup inside. the container itself has had tape wrapped around it in an almost comically unnecessary amount. )
Sixty gil.
( or is he going to test the unsoggyness first... )
[He should, really, but he's not going to be that much of an asshole about it. Soggy noodles would still be better than no noodles at all, so he takes the bag first and fossicks around in his pocket for 60 extra gil.]
Yeah, yeah... hold on.
[Out comes the gil, and he hands it over, simultaneously squinting at the container faintly seen through the plastic.]
( what with the blond menace having a heavy broadsword on his back, looking annoyed as all hell about this unexpected side job. cloud takes the gil into his hand, trusts the stranger, and pockets it.
despite everything, it seems like they have a mutual agreement of this-situation-sucked-but-we-made-it-work. )
There's extra meat in the soup. Figured they charged you extra for a delivery that was never going to happen.

Why'd the soup get mummified? Spillage?
